Bell's Diner

The delectable Bell's Diner in Montpelier, is quite simply one of Bristol's treasured jewels.  For over ten years, it's been honed to perfection by chef/patron Christopher Wicks, one of Bristol's most admired fine dining chefs.

Chris is well-known for his innovative food combinations and his talented team is equally passionate about creating adventurous menus that will delight diners who visit the charming former grocery shop.

The restaurant is intimate, yet quirky in decor and the welcoming and knowledgeable staff will guarantee you enjoy a spectacular dining experience, which you'll want to divulge to all your friends with glee.

Christmas treats...

And for Christmas 2011, Chris has developed a festive menu with a humorous twist... Starters include a pork 'ferrero rocher', which consists of butternut squash and praline, wrapped in picked pork and crumbed. Main courses include seasonal venison which has been paired with salted, baked beetroot, cocoa, foraged salsify and bone marrow.

Diners with a sweet tooth can anticipate exciting treats as such as minced pie soufflé with brandy butter anglaise, served with a clotted cream and pastry ice cream. Or the fragrant tonka bean and vanilla rice pudding, with native sloes, and a novel christmas tree ice cream.

So book your table now - it's a Christmas treat you won't forget!
