Where to buy food in North Bristol

Hi
I've recently moved to Bristol, currently in Bradley Stoke area. Can anyone recommend a good butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer?
Thanks

Not really your nearest area, sorry, but I use Gloucester Rd/Cheltenham Rd for most things - there is a fabulous weigh your own shop (Scoopaway) for dried stuff which is much cheaper than most shops for bread flour etc. Also several greengrocers, a few butchers & fishmonger. It is an area that is still mostly independent shops, & also has a great craft shop, wool shop & Oxfam bookshop & has several good cafes, so I make a day out of shopping :rotfl: & I have a large shopping trolley...

I don't drive, so I'm not sure about parking, but all 70something buses go up Glos Rd for the centre (Broard Quay etc.). My family all live in Bristol & all stopped driving for local journeys years ago as the traffic is so bad - I guess you'll find this out soon enough!

Hopefully someone else will appear with places nearer to you.

If you're in need of anything foreign, I'd recommend Wai Yee Hong which is hidden in the shopping centre next to the Tesco Extra on the M32. There is also a market in their car park some Saturdays, which sells reasonably price fruit/veg.

The link below is for a Farmer's market starting this friday if that is any interest to you? I have never been to this particular one but most of the farmer's markets around Bristol seem ok?

I did say "hidden"! It is in a business park just behind Halfords, Asda Living, etc. The store actually has its own car park too.
