Just off Cotham Brow mate, go up Saint Michaels Hill, take a right to go up Horfield Road and then at the top of the hill (imagine you were going towards the Gloucester road) it becomes Cotham Brow. It's a tiny place in the small rank of shops by Kingsdown Leisure centre. http://www.cothamporterstor...
