Nearest LARGE supermarket to Bristol Bus Station

[stew1875]

I was just wondering what the closest big supermarket to the bus station was? I know there's a small Tesco across the road but I was hoping to find one of the large superstores. Doesn't have to be Tesco. Thanks for any help/advice

hmm...you're smack in the middle of town so no huge supermarkets nearby that i know of (and i work just around the corner)

how are you getting from Biz to site? IF you are going to Shepton, there's a humungous Tesco there.

Google? Maps? Then bus times = happy Stew.

I have one of the combined coach/festival tickets so I'll be getting the organised coach to the site. I have about 6 hours to kill in Bristol so it gives me plenty of time to go to one of the larger ones. I have used the Tesco across the road in the past, but its usually pretty empty and alcohol selection isn't the best.

Which is about right as far as I am aware. I have friends in Brizzle and they have mentioned the mission it is to get out to the large Toscos slightly out of town.

But that requires work Lucy

I've had a look at the store locator feature on each supermarket's website, but the closest I can see is a couple of miles away.

Asdas the closest, but thats way too much of a mission. Spesh if your carring booze for a week with you! 2 miles sounds about right for it

Theres a kinda medium size tesco though pretty nearby, not the one across the road but still only about 5/10mins walk just in the centre of town. Its next door to M&S, prolly easiest to search for that on google maps and just go there given theres loads of tescos about. That one has all the deals on booze that happen and a food selection thats close enough to a massive supermarket with the same prices so is probabily the best bet.

Unless you want to buy a tent or something weird that is.. Then I guess grabbing a local bus to the big asda might be the best bet.

There isn't any big supermarkets nearby a few tesco express places etc . Nearest big one is either sainsburys in Clifton at least a 20 min walk with kit it's not worth it . Or asda in bedminster . Both probably a £5/6 taxi ride

To be honest, if you're just after food and booze, then I reckon the slightly larger Tesco in Broadmead should sort you out fine. It's really only a couple of minutes walk from the bus station, and, whilst it doesn't do clothes, garden accessories or whatever, it does much more than your average tesco express.

It's this one - http://www.tesco.com/storelocator/access/d...ID=2129&l=B and you can see how close it is to the bus station here

Cheers for the help everyone. Appreciate it. With 6+ hours to kill I think we may as well catch a bus to one of the bigger ones out of the city-centre. Going to be looking for some cheap booze deals
