Following thousands of entries and votes during this year’s Good Food Awards, BANK in Totterdown has been named among the 2023/24 winners. Just months after being listed as one of Britain’s 100 Best Local Restaurants, BANK has now achieved the Good Food Awards’ coveted Blue Ribbon for excellence in food quality, service and value.
Established to champion and support local, independent eateries that craft delicious food, the Good Food Awards recognised BANK this year for its regularly changing sharing menu, seasonal focus and casual, yet refined environment. Using diner nominations, feedback, votes and online reviews during the assessment process, as well as hygiene ratings from the Food Standards Agency, the judges selected BANK among only a handful of other restaurants in the city.
Alongside head chef and co-owner, Jack Briggs-Horan, founder Dan O’Regan relaunched BANK earlier this year, introducing a contemporary wood fired menu, made for sharing. This latest award comes following a raft of praise and accolades for the neighbourhood restaurant’s new offering, which makes the most of the South West’s incredible produce, while taking inspiration from fire cooking tradition across the globe.
Dan O’Regan, founder of BANK, commented: “It’s always really nice to receive any award, but it certainly means a lot when it’s based on diner reviews, votes and feedback. We’re blessed with a wonderful and loyal customer-base, many from the Totterdown community which is such a big part of our identity, so we would like to thank them all for their votes and also their enduring support, as we’ve adapted, grown and developed since first opening our doors. We’ve got some exciting plans for Christmas and early 2024, and can’t wait to take our fire-cooking concept into the winter months.”
BANK in Bristol is open from 17:00 – 22:00 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 12:00 – 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 12:00 – 17:00 on Sundays. Diners can book via www.bankbristol.com.
