Meet the panellists for EatDrink24/7 2026
A panel of 84 hospitality stalwarts from Bristol have kindly contributed to the eighth edition of the EatDrink24/7 guide.
This includes chefs, baristas, bakers, founders and owners from some of Bristol’s best restaurants, pubs and bars, cafes, market stalls, pop-ups and food and drink shops.
Each of the panellists is asked to share their absolute favourite places to eat and drink across the city and describe in their own words why they love these places so much. There are no limitations to how many places they can pick – just that these need to be places they swear by and would want everyone to visit. Recommendations shared are exclusively available to read in the EatDrink24/7 guide.
You are all invited to our party on July 8 to celebrate the latest EatDrink24/7 guide (to be published in July, not pictured here)
If you would like to read about Bristol’s best from Bristol’s best before everyone else in the city, join us for the guide’s launch party on July 8 at the Wiper and True Taproom & Brewery in St Jude’s.
