The fourth in a very successful chain of fruit and veg shops in Bristol and seemingly not massive…read morefans of photographers; this is Fishponds Fruit and Flowers.

I've always been happy with the fruit here - not too ripe and squishy, never unripe. With many changing deals and a pleasant and chatty handful of staff, this makes a refreshing alternative to the much larger megaliths down the road.

Seemingly built around something of a garden shed, this little shop in the middle of the shopping centre offers quite a bit of competition for any florist around. The stock may not be massive but it is all very high quality; flowers and plants from the UK and Holland arranged in colourful stacks and piles.
