These are Hannah’s top-five Bristol favourites:

“Top of my list would have to be dinner at Root in Wapping Wharf. The food and the team are two of the best things the city has to offer in my opinion.”

Body Focus

“I love joining one of the fantastic fitness classes Bristol has to offer. My favourites at the moment are fitness with Fran and sculpt at Body Focus in Whitehall.”

Farro

“I’m a total breakfast buff so wouldn’t be able to make a top-five list without my go-to breakfast spot. When I’m not at my own bakeries, you’ll likely find me at Farro – no doubt eating my body weight in soft serve. These guys really know what they are doing.”

Milk Thistle

“I love a late night cocktail when I’m not working. Milk Thistle is a stunning speakeasy hidden in the centre of Bristol and they are open until the early hours of the morning all week long.”

Fed

Fed are located on Gloucester Road, Abbotsford Road in Cotham and Fishponds Road in Fishponds – photo: Martin Booth

“I love a solo lunch on Tuesdays when we are closed and Fed do the most incredible salad bowls. They change them on a weekly basis so they always have something interesting and new on the go. They’ve even recently started giving the option for some additional add-ons which are a must!”
