2026 has been a transformative year for Cribbs who have welcomed a host of new F&B operators to its line-up as it evolves its dining offering.
The food and beverage offering at Cribbs has always evolved to match the changing needs and requirements of its visitors. However, over the last few years Cribbs has significantly refreshed its line-up to cater for its growing domestic tourism and Gen Z audiences which rose by 26% and 13% over the past year.
This audience is always eager to explore new casual dining flavours and experiences so the addition of F&B brands such as Pho, Honest Burgers, Wingstop, Joe & The Juice, and local favourite Picaro Lounge has allowed Cribbs to create more choice and cement its place as one of the South West’s leading visitor attractions.
The evening economy has also continued to grow thanks to more post-school/work attractions coming to the Cribbs area in recent years. This has required more dining options as people want to meet up with family and friends before or after activities such as ice skating, bowling, the cinema, or even Ninja Warrior. This is why Cribbs has added the like of Pho, Picaro Lounge, and Honest Burgers to its mix.
Unprecedented residential development, including the new Brabazon development, is underway at this crossroads to the South West, creating new homes for thousands of families, students and professionals mere minutes’ walk from Cribbs.
Meanwhile, the Brabazon development is set to further grow the evening economy across Cribbs with Aviva Arena event goers using its array of food providers before heading over to watch gigs and concerts.
Through our work with the Cribbs team, we have showcased the growing spend potential across the retail destination and highlighted these recent new arrivals across the local, real estate, retail, and hospitality press, as well as the Cribbs LinkedIn channel.
We’ve also profiled how F&B brands are queuing up to come to Cribbs as they look to benefit from such an extensive shopper base where they can not only showcase their brands proposition to millions but also deliver important sales volume.
