Our Story

Tom Hunt, Jen Best and Ben Pryor opened up shop on the corner of Jamaica Street and brought together a devotion to seasonality, locality, great food and atmosphere with a core passion for sustainability which has seen them gain widespread acclaim and numerous awards for both their ethical practice as well as the quality of their food.

Since its birth in 2004 Poco has toured the uk’s best festivals, preparing mountainous feasts for hungry revellers. Our charcoal grilled fish, meats and wraps bursting with colourful superfood salads have become legendary with festival goer and crew alike. In Autumn of 2011 the we took a step further and set up our first cafe in bricks and mortar, at the heart of an area as vibrant and full of flavour as our food - Bristol’s Stokes Croft. This thriving community and hotbed of creativity has welcomed us with open arms.

Tom is also a founder of Forgotten Feast, a Social Enterprise working on projects throughout the UK to revive our cooking heritage and help reduce food waste.
