Mollie's Bristol is a stylish modern motel and diner at Cribbs Causeway, just off the M5. With 123 contemporary rooms, a lively retro-inspired diner, bar and plenty of free parking, it offers a fun take on the classic American roadside motel. The diner serves all-day comfort food including burgers, hot wings, ribs, waffles and shakes, while the venue also hosts events such as its popular drive-in cinema.

Spitfire Barbecue brings authentic Texas-style barbecue to Bristol’s harbourside, with meats smoked low and slow in traditional smokers for rich, smoky flavour. The menu also draws on barbecue traditions from around the world, including South African braai cooked over a wood-fired grill. Located at 1 Hannover Quay, it’s a relaxed, lively spot for generous portions of brisket, ribs, pulled pork and grilled meats, with a waterfront setting that makes it a popular choice for a casual meal with friends or family.
