Food and drink at Bristol Old Vic...
Flinty Red have taken up residence in our upstairs café bar, providing the Bristol Old Vic with delicious seasonal tapas and an exciting array of drinks.
Flinty Red is a collaboration between chefs Matthew Williamson and Claire Thomson and wine merchants Dominic Harman and Rachel Higgens of Corks of Cotham.
The restaurant on Cotham Hill opened in October 2009 and has since won numerous awards. Notably, a Bib Gourmand from the 2011 Michelin guide and also a Red Grapes symbol from that same guide. Its first year of opening saw immediate inclusion into the Good Food Guide 2010. On a more localised level, Flinty Red was recognised as best Bristol restaurant by Venue magazine in 2010.
The Flinty Red Café Bar is now open for breakfast, lunch and light supper serving both theatregoers and the general public.
