Got an hour to spare? Whether you’re working remotely, based at our Stoke Gifford serviced offices, commuting via Bristol Parkway, or just passing through, Stoke Gifford has plenty to offer for a well-spent lunch break. Here’s how to make the most of it:
1. Grab a Bite at a Local Café or Pub
Kick things off with a solid lunch. The Beaufort Arms is a great spot for classic pub grub, while Coffee#1 near UWE is ideal for a quick sandwich and a quality coffee. If you fancy something different, Miller & Carter serves up a decent steak if you’ve got time for a longer break.
2. Take a Stroll Through Meade Park or Little Stoke Park
Clear your head and get some fresh air at Meade Park, where you can enjoy green space, and even a game of tennis. If you want a slightly longer walk, Little Stoke Park has lovely trails and open fields perfect for stretching your legs before heading back to work.
3. Get a Coffee Fix
Need a mid-day caffeine boost? Pop into Grounded Café or Boston Tea Party at UWE’s Frenchay campus for great coffee and a chilled atmosphere. If you’re on the go, Costa or Starbucks at Parkway Station are quick and convenient.
4. Browse at Stoke Gifford’s Local Shops
If you fancy a bit of retail therapy, check out Abbey Wood Shopping Park, which has everything from a quick Boots run to browsing at M&S. Perfect for ticking off errands while you grab lunch.
5. Visit St Michael’s Church
For a bit of peace and quiet, take a wander to St Michael’s Church, a Grade II* listed building that dates back to the 14th century. It’s a great spot to reset before heading back to work.
6. Squeeze in a Quick Workout
If you prefer to use your lunch break to get moving, hit up Nuffield Health at Stoke Gifford for a gym session, or just go for a brisk walk through Three Brooks Nature Reserve, a hidden gem not far from the area.
7. Enjoy a Picnic on the Village Green
On a sunny day, why not grab a meal deal and head to Stoke Gifford Village Green? It’s a peaceful spot to eat outdoors and people-watch before heading back to reality.
