Elevating The Bristol Loaf to a commercial audience.

Bakery and café operator Bristol Loaf opened a third venue in the city, within Bristol’s leading music hub Bristol Beacon. The new indoor and outdoor ground-floor offer, with over 100 covers in total, serves day-to-night fare, including breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon coffee and cakes and, in the evening small-plate, modern European-style dining.

The outstanding bakery items and high-quality coffee Bristol Loaf has become known for is also available to customers for take away. The new Bristol Beacon also boasts a new, specialist wine bar by sister brand Native Vine, selling a carefully-curated selection of over eighty of the best organic, natural wines – including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and orange wines - along with soft drinks, spirits and a number of premium beers and ciders.

The design language builds on and links to the Bedminster site. This time, the look and feel were elevated slightly to fit both the cultural surrounds and address a slightly different customer demographic, appealing to its commercial area location. The Beacon caters to office workers looking for a grab’n’go breakfast or lunch or potentially using the venue for daytime business meetings, as well as to the area’s large student community, more likely to use the café for relaxed weekend brunches, whilst the evening audience would centre on the bar offer and pre-event dining.
