Tiny neighbourhood café still serving Bristol's best lunch three decades on

One of my favourite spots in Bristol is a tiny street in Clifton Village. Boyces Avenue is a vivid image etched into my memory from when I visited the city for the first time many years ago.

I remember tearing my way through the narrow pathway on a busy Saturday afternoon among queues of people buying fruit and veg, visiting the boutique shops and people waiting to be seated for lunch. It looks almost the same when I visit this week aside from a sign that has emerged for a new café on the corner in place of Sunday General and an unfortunate closure sign for Victoria James.

Tucked away in the corner of Boyces Avenue is Primrose Café which has been serving breakfast and lunch for almost three decades. Despite being hidden off the main stretch in Clifton Village, it's always marked by its trailing queues of people waiting for a table at the weekend with its no reservation policy.
