Ready to make this your most delicious summer yet?

We built BFN Premium with three simple goals in mind: to help you discover brilliant new locations, make it cheaper to eat out, and give you one central place to find every food event happening in the city that’s worth your time.

For less than the cost of a pint (£5/month), here is exactly how we make that happen:

📍 BFN Food Map: You get instant, on-the-go access to our curated guide of Bristol’s absolute top spots so you never have to panic search for a good recommendation again.

🕵️ Weekly Deal Scout: We scour the city for the best independent food and drink offers and deliver them to you every single week. Between the secret discounts and two-for-one offers, you should easily save your subscription fee back on your very first meal out!

📆 The Event Calendar: You can plan your entire year of eating with our regularly updated schedule of food festivals, pop-ups, and supper clubs so you never miss another ticket drop.

Grace Dent's Ultimate Chippy Praise: Legendary restaurant critic Grace Dent has just named Cumberland Basin’s very own Noah’s as one of the absolute nicest restaurants she has come across in years. Tucked right under the flyover, this family-run gem was the only Bristol spot to make her exclusive five-restaurant hit list. She raved about the fancy 1980s wine bar vibe, turquoise banquettes, and hand-dived Orkney scallops. It comes just weeks after they scooped runner-up for Restaurant of the Year at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2026, so you know it's the real deal.

Fire Pit Opens In Montpelier: The legendary team behind Totterdown’s Smokebox has just dropped a brilliant new sister site on the Picton Street intersection. Fire Pit is serving up weekly rotating menus featuring incredible smoked brisket flatbreads for £15 (or two for £25) alongside pints from local Bristol breweries for £6. It's got a lovely fairy-lit outdoor seating area designed to feel like you're sitting around a campfire with family.

Sellanraa Book Cafe Launch: Redland’s Chandos Road has a gorgeous new addition in Sellanraa, a cosy bookshop-cafe hybrid that opened its doors on Saturday, June 20th. Owner Jackson Jeff spent seven intense weeks transforming an old stained glass workshop into a cream-and-brown haven complete with rattan lamps. Expect brilliant coffees, cortados, and a massive focus on gluten-free lunches sorted by coeliac catering experts Gluno. Even better, you can browse brilliant novels in the back room supplied by Clifton's independent Heron Books.

The Volly Cafe Hits St Jude's: The famous little orange Renault Estafette van, formerly known as Little Taquero, has been resurrected by owners Joe and Nicky. It's now parked up as The Volly Cafe on St Matthias Park, right outside the garden entrance of the Volunteer Tavern. They're pouring great coffee from Bristol Twenty and Joe is back behind the grill serving up seriously delicious breakfast bites and cheese toasties to start your morning right.

COR x RAGÙ Belmont Barn Feast (24th June): Two south of the river favourites, COR and RAGÙ, are heading down to Belmont Estate in Wraxall for a massive one-night-only collab. They're taking over the gorgeous watercress barns to serve up long-table seasonal dishes, slow-cooked meats, and estate-grown veggies. There's only a handful of tickets left for this one, so you'll need to move fast.

Picky Bits with Chef Reece (28th June): The legend Reece (who's worked in top Bristol kitchens like LittleFrench and Condesa) is taking over Dongnae on Chandos Road for a proper casual feast. Expect a brilliant menu blending French, Italian, and Spanish flavours. It's kicking off from 1pm onwards with no reservations. It's first-come, first-served until the food and wine run out, so don't be late.

Pizzarova x Wiper & True Pairing (29th June): Head over to Pizzarova on North Street in Southville for a brilliant night with two top Bristol independents. You'll get a seasonal starter, four different pizzas including unreleased specials, and a local dessert. Even better, a Wiper & True brewer will be on hand to guide you through four perfect beer pairings. It's an 18+ event from 7pm to 9pm and spaces are super limited.

Rooftop Sundown Supper at Sonny Stores (7th July): Pegs Quinn from Southville's beloved Sonny Stores is heading up to the roof for a spectacular Sundown Supper with The Culpeper. Tickets are £65 per person, which gets you a welcome cocktail alongside a brilliant rooftop grill menu. It's happening on Tuesday night and tickets are on sale now via their bio.

Box-E x Squeezed Secret Collab (8th July): Mark your calendars for a massive one-night-only event at the Wiper and True taproom in Old Market. The culinary masters at Box-E and burger legends Squeezed are teaming up to create an exclusive mystery dish you won't find anywhere else. Tickets are available right now through Bristol24/7's bio.
