Retail, Food & Drink Outlets Thread

Odd timing to do a feature like this as a number of the food outlets will be changing in the coming months. Slow news during August I guess?!

I expect one of the junior hacks was given the task of trawling the BRS website to see if there was anything they could make a story out of. The Trinity Mirror Group, now restyled Reach Plc, seems to find a lot of its copy in its regional newspapers by setting staff to visit social media and other webs sites to see what they can find to fill column inches.

October 2019....That's a long way away. Maybe a misprint?

I did think that too.........

 

[TheLocalYokel]

Do we know which outlet the new one is replacing whether this year, next year.......?

 

[BRSregular]

It is October 2018, not ‘19.

According the CDG website there is a Warren's Bakery (Part of the Casual Dining Group that include - Bella italia, Cafe Rouge, las Iguanas) opening at Bristol Airport in 2018. Closing date is 1st November 2018 for applications.

Guessing this is part of the airport eateries update.

When I read your post at first I wondered what it was to do with the Paris Cdg airport website. Then it dawned. Doh!

Voyager will only be temporary, Frankie and Benny’s will open around December/ January,
EAT replaces Soho Airside.

New eateries on their way. Very good news.

Also apparently planning now approved for 10 million ?

 

[superking]

They already have planning for 10 million on the old master plan.

Has anyone mentioned that Barburrito is coming to the airport too.

Has anyone mentioned that Barburrito is coming to the airport too.

Frankie and Benny's is now open according to this press report which also mentions the new food outlets opened last December: Sandwich shop EAT, Cornish pasty brand Warrens Bakery and Mexican street food restaurant Barburrito.

There will be a tie-up between Superdrug and Co-op at the former's BRS outlet that will see the latter supplying a food range of more than forty items for passengers to take away.

Superdrug already sells sandwiches, crisps and the like.

The arrangement is part of a trial that involves six other airports and railway stations.

 

[superking]

The airport have fitted 3 fill your'e own water bottle fill stations with another 2 to follow shortly.

Every food and drink option at Bristol Airport rated best to worst

It's worth knowing where to head before your flight

I'm not sure that I ought to be giving this sort of thing publicity as the local Reach plc 'newspaper' (Bristol Post) has yet again embarked on a tour of web sites to cobble together an 'article' that would make hard-working journalists of the past cringe in embarrassment.

The Post seems to have added up the Trip Advisor and Google scores for the various 'eateries and drinkeries' at BRS, except Frankie and Benny's as it doesn't yet have any reviews.

For what it's worth the outlet with the best score was Warrens Bakery and the worst Brunel Bar and Kitchen.

If there was anything worth talking about in the BRS forum at the moment I wouldn't have to post dross like this but as there is little of any import to discuss I've succumbed.

Bristol Airport's breakfast is the second most expensive nationally
