Leigh Court Farm is located in Abbots Leigh, just on the outskirts of Bristol. The only reason that…read moreI really know about this place is due to their excellent seasonal fruit and veg box scheme. The company is employee owned and all the food grown is organic, so it's a great local business to support. The box scheme is the perfect way to ensure that you get the freshest food around - and it's good for your carbon footprint! They deliver the boxes to a range of community centres in Bristol, so when you order, just let them know which is the most convenient for you to pick it up from. The boxes start from just £9 each and can be delivered weekly or fortnightly. If you have any items of fruit or veg that you really can't stomach and are worried that they'll go to waste when they turns up in your box, then have no fear - you can also select up to 3 different items which you don't want to be included. Great!

Really great local business. The veg boxes are always high quality, especially the produce grown on…read morethe farm. The online booking system they have is really user friendly, you can set up a list of things you don't like, pause orders or add extras at the click of a button. The extras they have available are great too, eggs laid by their chickens from the farm, and delicious riccotta and halloumi also made on the farm at reasonable prices considering the quality of the produce. Highly recommended!

There is the number one reason in the whole world to visit this Juice Bar...they cure hangovers! I…read moreknow, I know, impossible you say, but I promise you they do. For £1 you can get a shot of ginger that will sort out your stomach, and if you're lucky your head. They also sell Guava, which must be somewhere close to a legal high. It's like drinking twenty cups of coffee at once. I promise whoever you are you'll be up to four in the morning if you drink some of this during the day. So make sure you only drink it when you plan to be up at four in the morning, otherwise very frustrating. The rest is all about filling yourself up with those B vitamins (my hangovers are so bad, I have researched this) that apparently are important, you know bananas, pineapples etc. And then, on top of those ingredients, it's up to you to choose what kind of fruit you like really. These are the real deal, made fresh in front of you, not like the ones you buy from the supermarket. I love this juice bar, they have really made an effort to think about why people might want or need to drink a smoothy and gone all out to make sure they can make it. Marketing trick or not, that's supply meeting demand.

Many people regard this as Bristol's original juice bar, because it's been there longer than most…read moreof the others that have sprung up in the past few years. With juices, smoothies and wholesome shots such as wheatgrass, some drinks on the menu aim to be healthy, others claim to help hangovers, and the remainder are just plain tasty. The yoghurt blends are tasty and filling, but the vegetable and fruit juices leave you feeling more wholesome - while for a specific pick-me-up you're better off with a down-in-one shot including ingredients such as celery, aloe vera, ginger, beetroot, and garlic (yes, garlic). You can sit down and drink them at the al fresco bar (fine in warm weather, but a wind channel at times) or have a take away. Prices are about average for juice bars - they seem fairly expensive on first glance but when you see what goes into them it's fair enough.

One thing I love more than going out for Asian food, is experimenting and cooking my own! That's…read morewhy I love Dano! There are bigger Asian supermarkets in Bristol, but none that make me as excited as Dano. I used to go in to buy the instant noodles and some sauces. But after chatting the guy that runs the place, I buy dumplings, spices, curry paste, sushi ingredients and equipment and lots of other Asian delights. The guy is so helpful, he'll go out of his way to show you where stuff is or read the packaging to tell you what's what. I'd recommend going in there without a specific dish in mind, chat to the guy and see what you come out with. I almost guarantee you'll leave excited and with stuff you've never cooked before. That's what it's all about for me!

To be honest, most of the things in there I have never heard of and have no idea what they do. I mainly visit because they do really good noodles for stir fries, and also a really selection of Chinese sauces which aren't available in regular supermarkets. Staff don't tend to interact with you unless you go up to them and ask, in which case they are really helpful in pointing you in the right direction.

Lovely. I ordered…read morethe Bristol Bad Boy pizza, which was their hottest. And a can of cider, which in itself is cool! £1.50 for a can of Black Rat; OK it's not a bargain but it's bloody nice to have a can of proper cider delivered with a bit of grub. I was surprised at the sheer size of the Pizza, what some call large and what the rest of us fat fuckers call large are two different things. This was large. Dough was good, they also, like the international chain that isn't Pizza Hut, supply a pot of dip for the crust. Really though what I could have done with was a frozen bog roll.... ...Eating the pizza I scoffed. Ha! Call this hot? I've had hotter ice cubes! Pah! I might sue under the trade descriptions act. Loved the freshness of the peppers, but they're not spicy at all!..... ...Then, all of a sudden, BAM! It was like getting punched in the mouth by Mickey, the Bristolian god of fire. I could tell this was a fresh, almost lethal bird-eye or similar. What did I do to deserve this? Why no warm-up Jalepeno or some other "really spicy" thing? Maybe I dreamt it. Maybe the Black Rat was making me hallucinate. My eyes watered, which was handy, because I was watching Armageddon and I didn't want my wife to know it made me cry. But no, 'twas no dream. My bumhole made that perfectly clear this morning. I haven't had a gut-wrencher in a long, long time. I was forgetting what it was like to have your intestines twisted like a load of washing on a spin cycle. It reminded my butthole of prison. Taste wise though, nothing comes close. And Black Rat! Not Blackthorn!!

Apart from the obvious selection of fine olives, you can pick up delicious tapas such as feta stuffed peppers and sweet balsamic onions, or tubs of salad such as cous cous, spicy butterbean or mixed antipasta. They also serve paninis, Spanish frittata, and tartlets with different fillings - but personally I'd recommend trying a wrap from their Lebanese Kofta bar, which cost £4.95 and are very filling - containing lamb or veggie koftas plus a dip (hummus, the smoky aubergine baba ghanoush, or feta with roasted cumin), some salad, and tahini sauce (or rose spicy harissa).

On the wholesale side of things they provide delis, cafes, restaurants and hotels across Bristol and the UK with their unique selection of olives, sundried tomatoes and other such delights. That should give some idea of how far this independent retailer has come. On the local side of things, this little store in St Nicholas' Market is one of the best places to find really good, delicious food. Olives are the main thing on offer, with many varieties and tastes sitting in pots and buckets at the front of the stall. This is only a taster and by no means all of it, as you can see when you allow your eyes to wonder a little. Stuffed vine leaves, sundried tomatoes, feta salads and so much more. With salad boxes and bread boxes to go this is a very scrummy, very healthy alternative for lunch or indeed for any time.
