Quick info
About Big Bite
Big Bite is a kebab shop at 126 Cheltenham Rd in Bristol, open daily and evenings only. Its graffiti-covered walls carry a marker invitation, so customers can add their own writing to the wall. The menu runs from chicken shish kebab to a mixed doner with chips, and a Big Bite special pizza sits alongside the grill items. Sauces are made in house, including a chilli sauce and a garlic sauce, and a special house sauce is also on offer. The late hours suit anyone looking for food after a night out. The owner often works the grill in the shop.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the homemade sauces at Big Bite, singling out the garlic mayo, the chilli sauce and the special house sauce. Close behind is the doner and chicken kebab, with one reviewer praising a large mixed doner with chips and a fried halloumi wrap that was cooked slowly and with care. Others name the chicken shish kebab, the Big Bite special pizza, nuggets and chips, and a falafel wrap. Several call the prices competitive and say the owner is friendly and recognises regulars, and one notes the shop is open late and suits a night out. The graffiti covered walls get a mention too, with one reviewer suggesting bringing a Sharpie to add to them. Complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer found the pizza sour and bland and the feta salad stale-tasting, not fresh and far too salty. Another says the kebab meat was very spicy, was told by phone there was no chilli, and had the call hung up on when they tried to explain.

“Always tried Rita’s food but one of my friends suggested me to try Big Bite’s since then I am obsessed with their food well cooked really good taste and on top of that shop owner is a good guy highly recommended”

“I’ve lived in Bristol for 5 years and I’ve searched for the best kebab shop. It’s safe to say Big Bite takes the lead by quite some margin. Special shout out to their homemade sauces particularly the special sauce and chilli sauce! And best garlic mayo ever. The owner is super friendly and always recognises us when we come :) get yourself there now - especially after a night out will sort you right out”
