Owners of popular Bristol cafe-on-wheels to open their first permanent site in the city

The owners of a mobile coffee bar located in a south Bristol park are opening their first permanent cafe.

Sisters Jodie and Kylie Lawrence opened their Stuffed van in Victoria Park in April 2019 and it is a popular destination for locals in south Bristol.

With its range of cakes, pastries and drinks, the orange-painted cafe-on-wheels opens all year round, depending on the weather, and has tables and chairs next to it for customers who want to enjoy the food and drink in the park.

But the owners have now revealed that they are opening their first permanent cafe in Brislington.

Called Kin, it will be located in a former nail and beauty salon on Sandy Park Road and it is expected to open in mid-May.

Jodie and Kylie say the Stuffed van will be closed for at least two months as they launch the new cafe and then they’ll review the future opening times for their park-based business.
