Cow & Sow's Farm Shop Opens: The Field Farmshop & Kitchen in Flax Bourton opens on Thursday 22nd October. It's from the team behind Cow & Sow, the premium steakhouse, and sits on almost an acre just outside Bristol. The kitchen does hearty breakfasts and brunch, then lunch and a later menu, with a signature roast on Sundays. There's a deli counter for takeaway too. Inside seats 70, and the decking takes another 40. The shop sells local chutneys, jams, bakes, ice cream and honey from The Field's own beehives.

Where COR's Mark Chapman Eats: Mark Chapman, co-owner of COR and Ragù, has shared a list of top food and drink picks in the city with Visit Bristol. The list is Little Vic's on Wapping Wharf, Marmo in the city centre, Bulrush in Cotham, Yakiniku on Park Street and Pinto in the city centre. COR and Ragù are both recognised by the Michelin Guide, and both do a three-course lunch for £30.

Oysters And Champagne In Clifton (21st Oct): Fish Tales on The Mall are putting on an oyster and Champagne feast on Wednesday 21st October, 7pm to 10pm. It's four courses, each with its own sparkling pour. Classic oysters with mignonette come first, then baked oysters with a Champagne sabayon. The showstopper is an oyster bouillabaisse paired with Nyetimber Classic Cuvée. Chocolate torte and an Oystertini finish things off. There's Champagne on arrival and live music. It's £75 a head, and there are only 20 places.

£1 Coffees At The Arnolfini (23rd Oct): Yallah Coffee are taking over the Arnolfini's café bar for the whole of Friday 23rd October, alongside Wiper and True and FED.

DJ Dr. Amaqueen plays from 4pm, and entry is free.

Curry Night At Hop Union (23rd Oct): Sid from Little Rasoi is bringing his curry to the Hop Union taproom on Bonville Road on Friday 23rd October. The menu comes from family recipes handed down through generations, all wrapped up in kathi rolls or piled into rice bowls. The taproom opens at 4pm and food starts at 6pm, so there's time for a pint first.

So Much Everything At The Scrandit (25th Oct): Cosy supper club season is back at The Scrandit on Christmas Steps. Sunday Scran #10 hands their communal table to So Much Everything on Sunday 25th October. Pick the 12pm to 3pm or the 4pm to 7pm sitting. It's £38 a head, with a vegetarian menu too.

Root's Sunday Autumn Feast (25th Oct): Hot on the heels of this month's pork and Portuguese wine dinner, Root on Gaol Ferry Steps are back with a Sunday Autumn Feast on 25th October. The menu is in their post, and there are still tables left.

An Evening Of Indian Wine (26th Oct): Nutmeg are teaming up with Ellis Wines for an Evening of Indian Wine on Monday 26th October. It's four courses, each paired with a different Indian wine. You rarely see Indian wine on a Bristol list, so this is a great chance to try something properly new alongside Nutmeg's cooking. Tickets are already going.

Wine Tasting, Done Differently (27th Nov): Barley's new Wine Project nights take a different approach to wine tasting, built around your emotional connection to each wine rather than the usual rigid format. Expect some spectacular wines, snacks and good conversation. The first one sold out. The next is on 27th November, with just 16 spaces, and tickets haven't been released yet.
