RESTAURANT BANK HAS A NEW MENU

Bristol’s much-loved restaurant BANK is starting Spring afresh with an allnew menu, offering fire-cooked sharing plates - perfect for intimate dinners, big group banquets and everything in-between.

The Totterdown-based, independent restaurant has welcomed a new and bespoke fire kitchen, which has inspired the refreshed menu - and brings the new iteration of BANK and its offering to life.

The new fire kitchen is a bespoke build from Somerset-based fire-cooking specialists, Country Fire Kitchen.

BANK’s expert kitchen team, led by former head chef at The Ox, Seven Lucky Gods and Four Wise Monkeys, Jack Briggs-Horan, has been busy curating the new menu over several months.

The addition of the fire kitchen has led to a delectable, seasonal menu, which will be available noon ‘til night. The new offering will focus on a single and curated menu of seasonal and local produce, cooked over roaring flames, imbuing the ingredients with a flavour, scorch and smoke that only comes from cooking with fire.

For the first time since opening, BANK will also be offering up delicious roast dinners with artisan ingredients sourced locally. Available every Sunday - roasts will be cooked over open flame on the bespoke kitchen setup.

Enhancing the flavours of the seasonal produce through grilling, roasting and smoking, the mouth-watering dishes include bone marrow, topped with oxtail rendang and pineapple salsa, served alongside grilled focaccia, as well as their ratte potatoes smothered in whipped cheddar and marmite, sprinkled with furikake.

Dan O’Regan, founder of BANK, said:

“Over the past 18 months, we’ve loved serving Bristol with amazing brunch, small plates, coffee, and cocktails. We’ve had so much support, great press, and even some award nominations, all of which has helped us discover our identity as part of the Bristol food scene. In the last few months we’ve been working on shifting our efforts to serve one menu throughout the day and evening that focuses on incredible, seasonal dishes, designed for sharing.

“We’ve got an amazing new fire kitchen, and our new menu will be focussed around the art of cooking over live fire. Guests will be able to enjoy the new menu for both lunch and dinner, and we are so excited to welcome people to BANK with their nearest and dearest to try out our new menu.”

The new BANK menu will be available from Thursday 2nd March with BANK offering 25% off lunch on the first Thursday and Friday.
