Hart's Bakery
A handmade bakery tucked into the railway arches beneath Temple Meads station, where the sausage roll is a Bristol icon.
Hidden in a Victorian railway arch at 35 Lower Approach Road, just below Temple Meads station, the bakery can't be seen from the main entrance, so follow the downhill path to find it. Founded by Laura Hart, the menu changes daily. The signature is the flaky pork sausage roll (sometimes with black pudding or Marmite; vegetarians can try the pumpkin roll), alongside croissants, sourdough and cakes. The Infatuation named it one of the best bakeries in Britain, so it often has queues. Go early in the morning, as popular items sell out. Expect to spend about £5–12 per person, making it a great spot for breakfast or lunch before or after a train journey.
Opening hours
Tuesday to Saturday, morning to afternoon (until sold out; check the website)
