A new deli has moved into a unit in the arches on Oxford Street near Temple Meads Station. The Dings Deli completes the street filled with independent businesses both old and new - and its owner wants to bring the village deli into Bristol.
Liz Melville, 33, is originally from North Devon but has been in Bristol for around five years, specifically in the Dings area of the city. “Once I moved to the Dings, I didn’t want to live anywhere else in Bristol, it’s such a hidden gem,” she said.
She fell in love with Bristol’s selection of delicatessens while working for The Mall in Clifton a few years previously. The idea for The Dings Deli was born out of frustration over not having many options in the St Philips area offering high quality groceries and cupboard store items.
