About us
We are a modern, veg-led, sharing plates restaurant in the heart of Wells, serving local and seasonal produce. The first Root opened in Bristol in 2017; owners Josh Eggleton (The Pony) and Luke Hasell (The Story Farms / Valleyfest) wanted to create a forward-thinking restaurant that championed local suppliers and producers, and led with a ‘more veg, less meat’ ethos. Root, Wells was opened by Head Chef Rob Howell and his wife and Manager Meg Oakley who wanted to bring a neighbourhood restaurant to their home of Wells.
