FOOD & DRINK TASTY TIDBITS FROM THE CITY’S RESTAURANTS, CHEFS AND PRODUCERS
A TASTE OF INDIA TO YOUR DOOR
WHISKY CLUB Just in time for Christmas, Bristol-based Circumstance Distillery has launched a brand-new membership that will allow members a guaranteed opportunity to purchase pre-releases, including the highly anticipated Circumstance whisky release in 2022. The Circ Club offers a wide-range of benefits and exclusive special offers from discounts for tours and tastings to access to club member sales throughout the year. Perfect for Christmas gifting this festive season the annual membership is £25 a year. Liam Hirt, founder of Circumstance Distillery said: “I'm thrilled we have created an exclusive spirits members club. We are all looking forward to learning together, growing our quality portfolio and having a lot of fun along the way!” The membership is capped to a maximum of 100 people and once the club is full, new members will be added to the waiting list where they can join once a new spot becomes available.
Founded in 2015, Kricket is a collection of Indianinspired restaurants. It currently has three sites in London and a delivery service born out of the pandemic. With such a vibrant culinary scene in the city, it only made sense that Bristol was Kricket’s first venture outside of the capital. Available only via Deliveroo, you can order some of the restaurant’s signature dishes and takeaway favourites straight to your door. The team recommend starting off with Keralan Fried Chicken – a dish that has been on the menu since day one and is a firm favourite amongst diners. Try the prawn moilee for mains: fresh king prawns in a sauce made from curry leaves, coconut, coriander and lime. Whether you're having a meal for one or a party for 10 there is enough on offer for all! • kricket.co.uk/delivery
ARTISANAL GROCERIES This festive season and beyond, Good Sixty is offering all the convenience of an online supermarket but with the myriad of benefits of shopping local. Customers are free to browse and buy from over 50 much-loved Bristol traders including Papadeli, Better Food and Grape & Grind. Select from as many different places as you like, simply dropping your goods into one basket before enjoying a singlepayment process at checkout. Customers will get their shopping via zero-emissions delivery at a time that suits. Good Sixty got its name from the idea that every pound you spend with a local independent store or producer has a 60% greater economic benefit to your local community than spending it with a large supermarket. • To browse and buy through Good Sixty visit: goodsixty.co.uk and follow @GoodSixty on Instagram and Twitter
