Guerrilla Burger Bristol

If you are in Bristol, on the hunt for the perfect burger, I would totally recommend Guerrilla Burger. Located on Baldwin Street it is a tiny little place which could easily be missed but is most definitely worth a visit. As a pescatarian, I often find the available options pretty dull at burger places but I had the choice between a falafel burger or sweet potato rosti burger, I decided to go for the latter and it was absolutely yummy!



Nestled in-between a delicious brioche bun (which was toasted) was a tasty sweet potato rosti with a hint of cumin, bed of lettuce, tomato, humous and cucumber. Along with this I had some crispy fries, alioli and bbq dips.


Chris and Dan opted for the beef royale burgers which were apparently very tasty and cooked well with a hint of pinkness on the inside. They also had crispy calamari and ruby slaw which had a hint of hot spice. We were all very much satisfied and along with a drink each, the bill came to about £15 each (including tip). The staff were friendly and cheery, next time round I will have to try the salted caramel gelato!

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!
