Root
Unit 9, Cargo 1, Gaol Ferry Steps, Bristol, BS1 6WP
About
A vegetable-led restaurant at Wapping Wharf, Bristol's shipping-container development on the harbourside near the ss Great Britain, part of the small Pony group that also runs Root sites in Wells and Bath. The kitchen builds menus around what is in season rather than treating vegetables as a side to meat, with a short wine list to match, and the terrace looks out over the working harbour. It is genuinely popular locally, not just with visitors, and the venue asks for 24 hours' notice on cancellations with a no-show charge, a sign of how tight the booking book runs.
