The Cadbury

Walk down Richmond Road towards Picton Street and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that feels like it's been there forever—even if it's part of Bristol's growing Guerrilla empire. The Cadbury pulls locals who aren't here for Instagram moments; they're after a decent pint, honest cooking, and conversation that doesn't involve anyone mentioning the word 'brunch.' The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious for this corner of Montpelier, where vintage shops and independent cafes have transformed the neighbourhood. You'll get craft beers alongside classics, food that actually tastes like something, and staff who seem genuinely pleased you've shown up.
