A bonafide Bristol legend cut the ceremonial ribbon at the official opening of a new cafe on Stokes Croft.

Stokes by the Orchard is located on the ground floor of Hamilton House and is from the same team as The Orchard cafe and bakery in St George.

Much-loved Big Issue seller Jeff Knight was greeted with rapturous applause when he cut the ribbon.
