These are Scarlett’s top-five Bristol favourites:
Pappu Dosa

“Because it’s in Patchway, you’re unlikely to stumble upon this hidden gem without seeking it out, but those who do will be well rewarded! Pappu Dosa do the most incredible southern Indian vegetarian food and are so affordable. The team are always insanely hard working and so warm and welcoming.”
Bristol Roller Derby

Stoke Park

“My favourite place for a long walk and a picnic with epic views across the city. I also love hunting out all the carvings and sculptures.”
Root

“Root in Wapping Wharf is my favourite place to celebrate a special occasion, like after I debuted my solo show or finished my first run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Vegetable-centred food done to perfection. *chef’s kiss* ”
The Wardrobe Theatre

“There’s always something uniquely wonderful and creative happening at the Wardrobe Theatre, and the team who run it are so lovely. I was lucky enough to debut my harp comedy show there last year and will be bringing it back as part of my UK tour this spring.”
