JAWS started with a lot of messages, a lot of ideas, and the belief that Bristol deserved the best sandwiches.
At the start there was a lot of sandwich research. A lot of eating things and calling it development. A name. A logo. A first pizza oven. A fridge so big we had to take Will’s front door off. A second pizza oven. Testing events with friends. Our first nervous market. Then a few more markets. Then more sandwiches than I ever thought we’d make.
And through all of it, people have turned up. So thank you to our friends, family, regulars, first-timers, market neighbours, influencers, hungry people and everyone who has ever said something nice about us on the internet or told a mate to come down.
This Saturday 30th May, we’re back where we started at Harbourside for our 1st birthday. The first 50 sandwiches come with free a glass of bubbles from our friends at Harbourside Market
We’ll also be running birthday specials this week at our other markets:
Wednesday —
Thursday — Harbourside
Friday —
Saturday — Harbourside, 1st Birthday
Come and celebrate one year of JAWS with us!
Jim & Will 🦈

We spent the day trying everything from wagyu burgers to Canadian-style doughnuts and jerk chicken 🌮🍔
What I loved most was hearing the stories behind each business. You could really see how much care, hard work and creativity goes into street food, and why these awards matter so much. are all about championing independent food businesses and finding the next generation of incredible street food traders.

The South West Heat of the 2026 British Street Food Awards lands at Harbourside Market, Bristol this weekend — and YOU decide who heads to the national finals in Sheffield this September. Your vote counts. With ‘South West’ now stretching gloriously from the West of London to East of St Ives, the choice will be EPIC. Geography teachers look away…
🌮 Gourmet Warriors — swaggering birria tacos, rich consommé and zero respect for clean shirts.
🥘 Riceminster Paella — saffron-loaded paella from a man who’s judged MasterChef.
🍗 Gurt Wings — 30+ WingFest titles backed up by serious crunch and sauce.
🐟 Loluli’s — coal-fired Devon seafood with smoke, sea air and understated class.
🔥 Firestarter BBQ — collapsing ribs, overloaded fries and postcode-level smoke signals.
🍔 The Wagyu Burger Truck — British wagyu and treacle-cured bacon from a graffiti-covered cattle truck.
🌶 Joy & Gladness — 24-hour jerk marinades and Caribbean heat done properly.
🍨 Sizzling Scoop — fried ice cream and sizzling croissants with no interest in restraint.
🍩 Flats Doughnuts — plant-based doughnuts piled high with flair.
🥟 Apocalypse Bao — pillowy bao packed with bold plant-based fillings.
🧀 Macman — molten mac and cheese croquettes proving deep-frying still matters.
🧇 Waffle Wands — waffles on sticks somewhere between dessert and performance art.
🔥 The Street Taverna — smoky souvlaki and sheftalies cooked low and slow.
Grab a ballot paper from the voting gazebo, drop it into your favourite trader’s box, and help crown the South West’s best street food trader - the People’s Choice.
Our judges, including legendary hype man BoS Finesse, Michelin-starred chef Jan Ostle and super influencer Janine Alexander, will choose the overall South West Champion.
Both winners will head to the British Street Food Awards Finals in Sheffield, 4–6 September. And, if they win there, the European Street Food Awards Finals in Saarbrucken, 18-20 September.
Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come ready to vote.
