The Boot Factory is an all day cafe, bar and restaurant within Artist Residence Bristol at 28 Portland Square. Set across a Georgian townhouse and former boot factory, it combines exposed historic features, colourful art, vintage furniture and a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere.
Breakfast and weekend brunch begin the day, followed by a casual menu that moves through small plates, colourful vegetable dishes, hearty bowls and sourdough pizzas. The kitchen changes its dinner offering with the seasons, using fresh produce to keep the concise selection lively.
Recent seasonal ideas have included a homemade lamb scrumpet with herb emulsion and anchovy, and miso glazed barbecue celeriac. Gluten free diners can ask about the current dedicated fryer options, gluten free bread and corn tacos, while vegetable led plates make the menu workable for mixed groups.
Cocktails and beers from independent Bristol breweries anchor the bar, and a plant filled courtyard provides outdoor space in warmer weather. From a working breakfast or coffee to dinner and late drinks, The Boot Factory is designed as an easygoing gathering place for hotel guests and locals alike.
Address: Artist Residence Bristol, 28 Portland Square, Bristol BS2 8SA, England
