Bristol Airport<\/strong> has unveiled four new F&B concepts for its expanded departure lounge, including the first airport location for Bristol<\/strong>-born restaurant brand Cosy Club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bill\u2019s<\/strong>, Cosy Club<\/strong>, wagamama<\/strong> and Tap + Brew<\/strong> will open from summer 2027<\/strong> as part of the airport\u2019s \u00a3400m transformation programme.<\/p>\n

Bristol Airport Head of Retail Kate Gwyther<\/strong> said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome these exciting and much-loved restaurants to Bristol Airport<\/strong>. We\u2019re on a mission to offer our customers some really great options to suit their tastebuds, dietary requirements, time and pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n

Avolta<\/strong> will operate Bill\u2019s<\/strong>, which is scheduled to be the first of the four restaurants to open in early summer. The restaurant\u2019s all-day dining will include breakfast, lunch and dinner, alongside Coeliac UK<\/strong>-approved gluten-free options. The opening will be Bill\u2019s<\/strong> second UK<\/strong> airport location.<\/p>\n

TRG Concessions<\/strong> will operate Cosy Club<\/strong> and wagamama<\/strong>. Cosy Club<\/strong>, part of Loungers Group<\/strong>, will make its airport debut at Bristol<\/strong>. The business has its roots in the city, where its founders opened the first Lounge<\/strong> restaurant on North Street<\/strong> in 2002.<\/p>\n

Its airport menu will include breakfasts, small plates and other dishes, with West Country<\/strong> suppliers including Baker Tom<\/strong> in Cornwall<\/strong> and Philip Warren Butchers<\/strong> represented on the menu.<\/p>\n

Wagamama<\/strong> is also scheduled to open in summer 2027<\/strong>, offering its established menu of curries, ramen and bao buns alongside breakfast, children\u2019s and vegan options. The restaurant will feature the brand\u2019s communal benches and an open kitchen.<\/p>\n

Tap + Brew<\/strong> will follow in autumn 2027<\/strong> and will be operated by SSP UK & Ireland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The bar and kitchen will serve craft beer and cider from Bristol<\/strong> brewer Wiper and True<\/strong>, alongside other beers, seasonal drinks, low- and no-alcohol options and cocktails. Its food menu will include fish and chips, burgers, nachos and breakfast dishes.<\/p>\n

The concept will feature copper tanks, locally inspired artwork and a mix of seating for individuals and groups.<\/p>\n

Gwyther<\/strong> added: \u201cThis is just the beginning of a very exciting transformation for our customers, creating a new level of shopping and dining at the Airport. The departure lounge will feel much more inviting, spacious and brighter with more seats.\u201d<\/p>\n

The restaurants form the first phase of a wider overhaul of Bristol Airport<\/strong>\u2019s departure lounge. Further concepts are due to be announced in 2027<\/strong>, including coffee shops, fast-food outlets, grab-and-go concepts, premium bars and a speakeasy bar.<\/p>\n

The redesign will almost double the number of shops and restaurants, with 17 additional units planned, including premium retail brands. The departure lounge will also have about 20% more general airport seating.<\/p>\n

Bristol Airport<\/strong>\u2018s terminal transformation began in 2025<\/strong>, with more than \u00a360m being invested in improvements to the passenger experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bristol Airport has unveiled four new F&B concepts for its expanded departure lounge, including the first airport location…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1155602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[8818],"tags":[92943,939,381,21283,748,314314,393,4884,314315,16,15,229165],"class_list":["post-1155601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bristol","tag-avolta","tag-bills","tag-bristol","tag-bristol-airport","tag-britain","tag-cosy-club","tag-england","tag-great-britain","tag-tap-brew","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-wagamama"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1155601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1155602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1155601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1155601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1155601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
