Ridiculously good plate of yum khao tod @supawan_thaifood tonight.It’s always sad to say goodbye to a regular haunt you love. Have probably been to @barbuvette more than any other restaurant in Bristol - always felt like a cool Parisian wine bar. Here for a last meal with fellow stalwarts @ellypear, @millerdesignuk and @essexeating though will raise a final glass (of natural wine, natch) to them on Sunday night). Thanks for making it such a special place @maxososki. You will be much missed 😘 #regram . . . #wine #winebar #loveyourlocal #barbuvette #bristolNever seen so much wild garlic. . . . #wildgarlic #ransoms #foraging #woods #bristolFishy Easter feast @therockfishuk Exeter.
