"There’s still a fair few snaggings, so don’t be too shocked if we’re fixing a skirting board or hanging a picture while you’re here. The kitchen will be serving a limited menu and a limited capacity while we find our feet.
"Our hours for the first week or 2 will only be until 4pm. It won’t be long before we open much later with a full Bristol bar on offer.
"Our amazing new staff will be working in a new and scary place so please be gentle with us. We’ll be doing our best to bring our best to Fishponds. See you soon we hope."
