A new community café has opened next to Bristol bus station offering some of the cheapest prices for a home-cooked meal in the city. Santiago's on Cannon Street has taken over the hospitality lease of St James Priory Church, which is the oldest building in Bristol still in use today.
Liam Delaney, manager of Santiago's, has recently moved back to Bristol from South Africa. The restaurant, which formerly housed Cafe Refectoire and has been open almost a month, currently seats around 50 offering full breakfast and lunch menus with hot meals starting from just £1.50.
Speaking on the prices, Liam said: "Through the cost of living crisis, a lot of companies have raised their prices. We think that some of them have raised them a little too high, whereas here we're trying to keep it as minimal as possible."
