Hello! My name is Florence and I would be thrilled to host you on a tour. I have lived and worked in Bristol for 17 years and I LOVE this city and the stunning countryside around us. My great passion is food. I have been working in food for over a decade, with a focus on local and sustainable food systems, as well as education and communication. I'm passionate about excellent food and drink, and thinking about how we can produce this in such a way that is nourishing for our souls and our planet. We are spoilt for choice in Bristol and North Somerset for incredible produce, restaurants, bars and more. I love nothing more than sharing these fantastic stories and flavours, and my knowledge and passion about food, farming and flavour. I have been hosting food and drink tours in the area for two years. My tours are fun, informal and informative. As well, as enjoying amazing food and drink, you'll have the opportunity to explore this amazing part of the world and I'll share local history and insights along the way. I know great spots for music and art, the best bars, beautiful walks and more. Here's what a few happy customers have to say! Such an epic Bristol food tour! Florence brings such great energy. Fun, friendly, informative, delicious.... Brilliantly well organised and Florence was a great host and chauffeur. The venues were all fascinating and well chosen and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Had a wonderful afternoon on a tour with Florence, she is a very engaging person who holds the attention of her audience with her knowledge and information and has very high ethical standards when it comes to food production. She obviously does her research well and knows so much about not only the venues she takes you to which are all independent and use locally source ingredients but also about Bristol itself. So unique and a really fun way to spend an afternoon.
