130 Cheltenham Road, Bristol, BS6 5RW
Since having a baby going out at the weekend has of course changed - mainly due to the need for space for the buggy and baby changing facilities.
We're lucky that just a fifteen minute walk from our flat is a cafe-bar called The Social, based on Cheltenham Road, just up from Stokes Croft. I love this area of Bristol, it always has a good buzz to it, with lots of different types of people wandering about. There are music shops, other food venues and bars, some good charity and arty shops and art spaces. Meeting there with lots of friends on a saturday afternoon is something that I look forward to all week.
Walking from The Bear Pit in town to The Social always puts a smile on my face. I love checking out new graf art pieces, whilst looking in the windows of various shops.
Their menu uses only locally sourced ingredients, free-range eggs and changes every couple of months to make the most of what Mother Nature lays on for us throughout the year. All food is prepared fresh to order. There’s no fast food - just good food prepared as fast as they can.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available all day (10am- 10pm). In particular our group of friends are really keen on their Handmade sourdough baps which are served all day (they are served with chips and salad for a great price of £5.95). There are a variety of fillings to choose from such as Gloucester Pork, Smoked Chicken, Braised Lamb, Topside of Beef, Triple Cheese Rarebit, Fish of the day and Flat Mushroom. I cannot recommend these enough - they are fantastic!
There are drawers full of toys for children towards the back of the bar, and a cool graf mural painted over the baby changing table, it's such a colourful place. There are large seating areas which are perfect for big groups of friends, especially parents with prams. We really feel welcome at The Social, the staff are great and bend over backwards to help. If you're breastfeeding, they offer a great range of teas, coffees and soft drinks - or if you're formula feeding like I am now, then why not treat yourself to a rather wonderful Bloody Mary - the glasses are huge, great value for £5 - don't forget to make it nice n spicy!!
Have a look on their website to see the various offers throughout the week:
