This is Bristol

The new Harvey Nichols food market has opened in Bristol's Cabot Circus ready for Christmas shoppers.

The main Harvey Nichols in Philadelphia Street will continue selling designer clothes, but the new store in the former Lombok shop in Quakers Friars is selling an array of festive foods.

For less than £5 you can get items such as 50 tea bags for £4.45, jam for £2.95 or Christmas tree marshmallows for £3.95.

But if you want to splash out, the most expensive item in the store is a double stainless steel candlestick holder for £89.95, or you can ask for a huge hamper to be made for up to £2,500.

Also on sale at the store, which opened yesterday, are mini Christmas cakes, puddings and mince pies, plus Christmas cookie-making kits for children.

There are a selection of Harvey Nichols homewares, ranging from tea towels to cappuccino cups and saucers, together with Swarovski crystal Christmas decorations.

Separate stalls have been set up to sell cheese from Trethowan's Dairy, chocolates from Bristol-based Guilberts, and Christmas floral arrangements from Lisa Elliott of Clifton village, who provides the in-store flowers for Harvey Nichols in Bristol.

The store will be licensed to sell alcohol from December 10, and will then begin selling champagnes and wines, including a range by designer Christian Audigier.

Manager Maria Bullock said: "The first day has gone really well – people have already been starting their Christmas shopping."

    “Bristol can not possibly sustain a shop of this calibre.”

    “Bristol can not sustain a shop of this calibre. The only people entering it will be either shop lifters or people thaking the family out to see how the higher classes live. It will be replaced by a Greggs in no time.”
