53 Hillgrove St North, Bristol, BS2 8LT - view map
One of the very best pubs in Bristol. Situated high on a hill in Kingsdown it’s not easy to find but is well worth the effort.

The Star and Dove’s Eamon cures his meats and makes his sausages on site. You can buy his excellent homemade sausages – named ‘Buster’s Bangers’ in honour of his baby boy – every day in the pub (just ask behind the bar/in the restaurant), or you can come along to the market on Saturdays, where they are on sale all day.

Raleigh Road, Southville, Bristol, BS3 1TF - view map
The Tobacco Factory café always tries to use local suppliers and some organic ingredients where possible. An important part of their philosophy is to support independent businesses that give variety and character to an area, and keep money circulating locally – the ‘Strike a light for Independents’ campaign.
