Bristol Airport is inviting potential partners to take part in a tendering process for 10 new food and beverage (F&B) units in the departure lounge, which is currently being extended as part of the £400 million terminal transformation, enabling 12 million passengers a year to use the airport. The opportunity includes quick serve/fast food, grab and go, coffee, bread, premium bar categories plus an exciting secret speakeasy bar.
Bristol Airport is seeking partners capable of delivering standout concepts that meet the needs of both leisure and business travellers. The new units will be located airside in the departure lounge, offering operators high-visibility spaces with strong passenger footfall.
The tender will be a two-stage process and interested partners should submit Stage 1 requirements through the airport’s e-tendering system In-Tend by noon on Tuesday 1 September 2026.
Kate Gwyther, Head of Retail, Bristol Airport, said: “We look forward to receiving proposals from passionate and innovative businesses ready to bring fresh culinary concepts and dynamic hospitality experiences as part of terminal transformation. With 10.8 million customers a year passing through our doors this is a great opportunity to become part of the Airports vibrant departure lounge, and we are keen to hear from businesses who can offer customers something special.”
