Froth & Fries

Tucked away on Broad Street in the heart of the city, Froth and Fries is a laid-back local where beer lovers, foodies and weekend wanderers converge. With craft pours and Belgian brews alongside premium spirits, it leans into the simple joy of a well-made drink paired with something indulgent, all delivered with warm table service and city-centre ease. Whether it is an after-work pit stop, a cosy date or a full weekend session, the welcome is the same: unpretentious, convivial, unmistakably Bristol.

The kitchen deals in pub comfort with a Low Countries lilt. Think loaded fries crowned with stoofvlees, beef slow-braised in Westmalle with onions until spoon-soft, or the Full English layered with rib-eye, sun-dried tomato, blue-cheese sauce and crispy onions. Burgers keep things classic, from a juicy beefburger with chilli jam, pickles, shredded lettuce and mayo to a chicken schnitzel burger with the same bright, tangy fixings. To share, there are crisp bitterballen with mustard mayo, and boards that roam from Beef de Leon and coppa stagnonata to Sparklenoe Blue stilton, Kelston Park brie and Cornish gouda.

Sweet-toothed sorts are not forgotten: waffles piled with fresh strawberries and cream or cinnamon and fruit chutney nod to Belgian café culture, while Belgian chocolate ice cream and mango sorbet cool things down with a flourish. Settle in, raise a glass, and let the good times do the talking—follow the froth, stay for the fries.
