- A relaxed call on local food
About this tour
This is a video call rather than a market walk, covering Bristol's food markets and the West Country's cider tradition together. I share photographs and talk through how both fit into the city's wider food culture. It works well as background before visiting the markets yourself.
We start with a short sound check, then talk through the two topics in turn, leaving plenty of room for your own questions. I send a short list of markets and producers worth seeking out afterwards.
It suits anyone planning a food-focused visit or simply curious about the region's traditions. It also works well without any visit planned at all.
Included
- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Bristol, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Market traditions 15 min
We talk through how St Nicholas Market and the smaller farmers' markets around the city fit into Bristol's food calendar, and I check which stalls or seasons interest you most.
-
Cider history 15 min
I explain the West Country's long cider-making tradition and how it shows up in Bristol's bars and markets today, sharing a couple of photographs of local producers as we talk.
-
Your questions 7 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in London time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Bristol: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
