Bristol has a wide variety of cuisine and restaurants to offer and one of the most buzzing areas of our food scene is the vibrant, quirky Gloucester Road.
But sometimes if money is tight, you'd rather not fork out for pricey alcohol when you're grabbing a bite to eat.
Enter the genius of the 'bring your own bottle' philosophy, which allows customers to enjoy the beverage of their choice without their wallet suffering at the mercies of a well-stocked wine list.

Some places charge you a small corkage fee to do this, but all in all it's a great way to enjoy a drink with a delicious meal without it costing you a fortune.
