Eats: The Baffled King, Easton, Bristol
The term ‘hidden gem’ can sometimes be thrown around rather spuriously when it comes to food reviews (and particularly so on Instagram)… So I am loathe to use it myself – but this little place could be on the precipice of deserving the title. ad 📍 The Baffled King, Easton, Bristol So is it ‘hidden’?…
