Pizza Monday

Just before we met our lovely new landlady, Chris and I decided to take advantage of the two pizzas for £11 night at the Hen And Chicken in Bedminster, just a stones throw from our sweet new home. They were very tasty and went down very well with a yummy pint of Bath Ales Gem.

Graffiti On A Sunday

After a delightful sun-filled wedding on Saturday, we decided to hit the streets of Bedminster on Sunday and check out the goings on at Upfest. This annual graffiti event is really starting to draw in the crowds and brings North Street alive with the sound of hip hop beats, smell of barbecuing grills and an enthusiastic, jolly crowd of on-looking appreciators.

BUGS!!!

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Upfest opening exhibition for Bugs the other week which was great fun. There were loads of bugs which had been decorated by Bristol's finest graffiti artists, not only in the gallery but all along the streets of Bedminster in Bristol. If you get a chance you should head on down for a Bug hunt!

The Star And Dove - A Shining Light When It Comes To A Fantastic Sunday Roast

This Sunday we really fancied a roast. We also wanted to try somewhere new, diverting from our usual favourites, The Grain Barge and Spotted Cow (which I must say, do do a splendid roast). After some speedy Internet searching to the sound of two grumbling tummies, I quickly decided upon The Star and Dove which had some pretty good reviews on Trip Advisor, some claiming they did the best Sunday Roast in Bristol. These glowing reviews guided us towards Totterdown and the said pub. As soon as you enter, the rustic, homely traditional feel of a warm and welcoming pub awaits you. With a load of independent guest ales (which is always a guaranteed winner for us), friendly staff and an unexpected, contemporary twist on the regular Roast Menu we knew immediately, that we had made a great choice. I had the vegetarian choice, baby vegetables, with crispy barley balls and a beetroot and gin gravy-like sauce. Chris had the beef which came with a yummy looking homemade Yorkshire pudding and carrot and hibbus(?) oil puree which seemed to go down fantastically. Both were served with the most colourful array of seasonal vegetables I have ever seen and the roast potatoes were outstanding. Another fabulous find, this city never ceases to amaze me!
