Top 3 BBQ Spots in Bristol

While the weather is absolutely beautiful, we want to make the most of it by eating outside and doing something a little out of the ordinary for dinner! Here in Bristol there are many open, green spaces for you to set up a BBQ, relax and indulge in the greasy delights of juicy burgers and hot dogs. Take a look below at where you can have BBQ in Bristol...

Here are our top 3 best places for BBQ in Bristol however, Bristol City Council aren't huge fans on you lighting up a BBQ on the open spaces in and around Bristol.

Although if you do choose to, they ask that you follow these guidelines: 

  • Elevate BBQs (especially disposable ones) off the ground to avoid damaging the grass.
  • BBQs should not be left unattended at any time, and should be extinguished completely after use (it’s worth bringing along a large bottle of water just for this purpose).
  • Hot coals should not be placed in any of the park litter bins.
  • All litter should be removed after the BBQ.
  • Other park users should be respected, especially when it comes to the smoke and smells from your BBQ.
