Finzels Reach Street Food Market — Local services in Bristol

Bristol had a great street food scene. There are markets every day of the week, most days there are at least two. Across in Whapping Wharf there are cargo containers with some great food places.

I was working in Bristol one Friday and at lunchtime I went out for a walk.  I went to the Finzel Reach street food market, saw what was there, and then walked up to the St Nicholas market. I walked back to the Finzel Reach street food market and bought a bento box from She Sells Sushi. I had my usual beef donburi and the crispy chicken hirata bun. I had to wait a while, as there was a bit of queue, which isn’t too surprising, as the food is excellent from She Sells Sushi.

I sometimes think I should have something different. I have had the crispy tofu katsu curry before, which is tasty, but I prefer the beef donburi.

The beef was tender and had an intense flavour. I liked the pickle and the crispy fried onions. The rice was sticky and worked well with the beef.

I did think about having the Takoyaki , but in the end I defaulted to the excellent crispy chicken hirata bun.

I had two strips of crispy, well more crunchy, chicken. These were in a charcoal hirata bao bun with some mixed leaves.

This was a delicious bento box. They also do an XL version of the box in which you can have three choices. I did have this once, I had the beef donburi, the katsu tofu puffs, and a chicken hirata Bun. It was rather filling, I decided that I probably wouldn’t have the XL size again. Well I might, but I don’t think I would have the donburi and the katsu with something else. I would probably have the donburi with a hirata bun and the Takoyaki. Lots of variety, but not so filling as having two rice...

This market is right outside my work and operates every Wednesday and Friday at the moment 11:00-14:00.

It is a very nice market, all of the vendors are friendly and there is some great food on offer. There is always a great bakery/cake stall too (Mother Fudger is my personal favourite 😍) - definitely on the higher priced side (my colleague bought a grilled cheese for £7 and another colleague had a hotdog for £7.50) but I think it's worth it as an occasional treat and to support a small business.

Overall great little market - definitely worth...

There is lots of lush food to choose from, and I go whenever I get the chance. I adore the serious steak salad - the peppers in that were so flavorful, and the steak was lush.

The bakery cookie I got from there was so indulgent, and the staff member was a joy, apologies not sure which business this was, but if you see these lotus cookies, I highly...
