Shopping in Bristol


What are the items that I should bring with me because they’re not available (or are too expensive)?


This is dependent on the country you are coming from. Please be aware there are restrictions on foodstuffs brought into the UK so we advise against importing such items, however you shouldn't have a problem finding products (or a close UK substitute) from your home country.

Will anyone have particular trouble finding clothes that fit?

No, the UK’s shopping allows for a variety of shapes and sizes. If you are looking for clothes or shoes, sizing will vary depending on which stores you visit and which brands you purchase.

What grocery stores do expats in Bristol shop at?

The most common grocery stores are Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Cooperative, Morrisons and Marks and Spencer.

Where can other household items (such as cleaning materials and home furnishings) be found?

At the supermarkets mentioned above and specialist home furnishing stores such as Debenhams, John Lewis and Homebase.

What are factors that might affect my shopping habits in Bristol?

Beware of parking restrictions while you are shopping. Otherwise, you will find there is a great deal of choice for shopping, with department stores, a wide range of specialist stores, and ‘high street’ shops for fashion.
