Grillstock opens first permanent restaurant


Bristol based American BBQ concept Grillstock, has opened a permanent site in Bristol, having operated at Bristol music festivals for the past five years.

Grillstock, who focuses on slow-cooked meats and Deep South American cuisine, also runs a pop-up site in Bristol at St Nicks Market. The newly refurbished location at Triangle West, Park Street, has 32-covers and a festival vibe creating an authentic BBQ feel. It features both an eat-in and take-away menu and is open 11am-Midnight Mon-Sat and 11am-11pm on a Sunday

Grillstock’s Ben Merrington said: “We wanted to instill the spirit of barbecue in each element, through authentic low and slow cooking techniques and flavours, combining our food with the music that inspired it and the people you share it with. Quite simply we wanted to condense the festival experience into our restaurant. The walls are even decked with festival memorabilia from the past that makes us a bit different and underlines our authenticity. We live and breathe this stuff and I think that really comes across in the smokehouse.”
