Bristol’s best eateries for festival season

Having just featured at Love Saves the Day, Biblos is ready and raring to go for the festival season. Serving up some delicious and healthy street food with epic jerk chicken and halloumi wraps, this is an ideal summer eatery. You can find Biblos on the daily in Stokes Croft, ideally for a pre-night out dinner, or post-night out midday hangover saviour. Biblos has definitely been a hit at a number of festivals, previously at Glastonbury and Banksy’s Dismal Land to name a few.

Well known in the club and event scene of Bristol, Ritual Kitchen can be found as the resident kitchen at Lakota Gardens. Serving a wide range of dishes, you can find anything from loaded nachos to chicken balls and rice here at the festival scene.

A popular Stokes venue, The Crafty Egg is absolutely ideal for a post-festival weekend, life saving brunch. A super lush venue where you can enjoy epic sized breakfasts full of nutritious kale and beans, as well as stacks of maple syrup pancakes whilst surrounded by plants. Definitely a great one for post-partying comfort food and nutrition in a relaxed atmosphere.

An absolutely cracking burger venue that sources all its produce and ingredients as locally and ethically as possible. Find Burger Theory popping up at festivals all summer long serving up some absolutely delicious burgers and fries, from Katsu and Korean BBQ, to Crispy Aubergine Fries. It’s even won Shambala’s Sustainable Trader of the Year Award in 2019! If you’re not vibing the festival circuit this year, then you can find Burger Theory at either The Lanes or at St Stephens Street where you can also join Bottomless Burger Events. You heard that right, two hours of not only bottomless drinks but also food (St Stephens Street only). Epic.

Bocabar Paintworks is an award-winning warehouse venue that we love at Dish Cult. With comfy sofas, Sunday roasts and art, it will feel like a spacious, calming heaven post muddy rave weekend. With plenty of space to chill out, big brunches, Brazilian style pizzas, and cocktails (if you need a hair of the dog to get through), all at a reasonable price, this is a spot for post-festival dining.

Stop Ya Beefin’ is a female-led vegan eatery serving up the best pies and doughnuts in Bristol. After stumbling upon them at Upfest 2022, we can’t get enough of the sweet treats! If you haven’t had a chance to spot them at a Bristol festival this year, you can order a delivery Friday-Sunday when they aren’t vibing at events!

Apart from an absolutely cracking brand name, Soy Ahoy can be found serving up delicious vegan food all over Bristol at events and markets. Serving up filling and tasty scran, be sure to look out for these plant-based pirates whenever you’re at a South West summer event!
