A new seafood restaurant has opened in place of the famous Lockside cafe at Bristol's Cumberland Basin. Daniel and Joie Rosser have taken over the riverside unit to open Noah’s, focusing on simple, fresh fish cookery and premium fish and chips.
Lockside was run by the same family for nearly 20 years, with a legacy as a cafe going back six decades. It featured in the sitcom Only Fools and Horses as Sid’s Cafe and was previously known as The Venturers Rest and Popeye's Diner.
“It’s stunning. You’ve got the view of Clifton and the crescent at the top and the Basin in front of you,” said co-owner and head chef, Dan, who has had a longstanding passion for seafood. The couple has always dreamed of opening their own fish restaurant and fell in love with the harbourside spot, which opened last week.
