New Polish restaurant opens on King Street

By Martin Booth  Friday Aug 17, 2018

Nestled between two of Bristol’s most famous pubs, a new restaurant promises “a glorious twist on some Polish favourites”.

The speciality at Gosha’s House, located on the cobbles of King Street between the Royal Navy Volunteer and the King William Ale House, is pork shank with crunch and crispy crackling.

The shank is finished on a high heat to give it that extra crunch, with diners needing to give two days’ notice if they want to order it.

Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

In what used to be Renato’s second premises, Gosha’s House has been opened by Malgorzata Falkowska (the eponymous Gosha), with former Bristol mayor George Ferguson a co-director of the restaurant.
