Bristol Rob Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 The team behind the Wapping Wharf Pigsty restaurant (there was one on Gloucester Road until a few days back) are opening a new concession at Ashton Gate. So says the Bristol Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So says the Bristol Post. Saw this yesterday. A nice addition to #DMS but I do wonder whether they'll take Food Vouchers? I did wonder at first if they'd taken over the Pizzeria actually. The Pigsty at Wapping Wharf is a decent little gaff so this is a good addition. https://www.pigstyuk.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Going to be spoilt for choice next season…have to try the goat curry too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underhanded Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Fair play, Pigsty is a decent shout. I like the idea of giving local business more of a platform in sporting venues - think most people are sick of the generic slop that gets churned out at the likes of Wembley etc. I do wonder if Pigsty will close their Gloucester Road joint though. I wince everytime I Cycle past on my to 5 a side, and see a 50-60 seater restaurant with no one in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I didn't play last weak due to an injury, so that makes sense. I would cycle past every week waiting for it to be closed. I bet they're glad they got it off their hands!

Ooooh love a bit of Curry Goat - the Caribbean Shack in St. Nick's Market does an awesome one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim of it's own success unfortunately. There are some great bars and restaurants to be found, but with so much competition these days, it is difficult to support them all. Add to that the well financed places who can ride a trading downturn and a number of good places clearly struggle to make ends meet. That said, if you haven't tried the Coconut Tree or koocha yet, both are worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 The goat curry (and the chicken) is very nice at AG. I've been there a few times but also having Pigsty is another brilliant option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm hoping the Jamaican food (Feed the Goat?) is still there. Loved the curry goat last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Good news this. A business started by Bristolian Olly Kohn and his 2 brothers. Olly played with distinction for Bristol rugby in the 00's before moving to that London to play for Harlequins. He had some injury problems up there so as a sideline ran a pop-up hog roast business. When his dodgy knees gave up completely (not surprising, as the bloke is mahooosive) he turned the sideline into a full time operation, first in Shoreditch (natch) then coming home to Wapping Wharf. A shame about the Gloucester Road outlet closing, if only because Pigsty Hill seemed the perfect place for a business called Pigsty! Anyhoo, I wish the big fella all the best with this latest venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
