As of Tuesday, September 23rd, The Kellaway Arms on Horfield’s Kellaway Avenue will be no more. In its place will be new independent, family-run pub The Gloucester Old Spot, serving locally-sourced food and a wide selection of drinks from morning until night every day.
Say The Gloucester Old Spot Team, “Gloucester Old Spot pigs are synonymous with the South West and renowned for producing the highest quality pork. We are also proud to have been reared in the South West and obsessed with simple food that’s done well, so the Old Spot pig seemed the perfect inspiration for us. Nestled only a short walk away from Bristol’s famously independent Gloucester Road, this was also testament to a part of the city that we’re extremely proud and fond of.”
The refurbishment and rebranding will be complete in time for the doors to open to the public on Tuesday, September 23rd. Everything from the food to the fittings has been locally sourced: Frome car boot sales, Bristol eBay sellers, Bath antique shops, Midford-crafted benches, Bishop Sutton grocers and Winterbourne butchers have all contributed to the new independent venue.
Say the new team, “We wanted to make The Old Spot a fun, enjoyable, unpretentious family-friendly pub for the local Bristol community where you could get great service, a satisfying pint, enjoy a delicious burger, share some top-notch local mezze with friends or tuck into a big breakfast in the best garden in the world. We think we’ve cracked it, and we hope you do too.”.
