The Magic Roll is an idenpendently run cafe offering the finest in fresh, nutritious, locally produced food at affordable prices. First set up on the Clifton Triangle 4 years ago by Leon Hughes and John Keegan, the Magic Roll has fast become a favourite amongst the people of Bristol – the 500-strong Facebook Appreciation Society group will testify to this!
All our food is freshly prepared each day, using the finest ingredients. Our meat is sourced locally from Frocester Fayre Farm in Gloucestershire. We also have halal and vegetarian options. Each magic roll is packed with a filling, salad and sauce of your choice, and toasted to perfection.
In March 2007 we opened a second branch in Redcliffe, which is open during the weekdays, but not at the weekends yet. Check the Branches page for our exact location and opening times.
In 2008 we made quite a stir at Glastonbury Festival where we were voted Best Festival Food! Check out the Festivals page for more info.
Magic Roll is a registered trade mark.

What the press have said about Magic Roll:
“Fresh, healthy and nutritious khobez breads filled with a veritable cornucopia of ingredients: falafel, chicken, bacon from Gloucestershire’s Frocester Fayre Farm and plenty of zingy salad.” – Venue Magazine (April 2008)
Venue Magazine (March 2008)
“It was on the recommendation of our friends at Hermanos that we first heard of the delights of The Magic Roll. Dinner had been missed and we were starving, “They’ll take care of you, no problems” we were told. Were they right? Well, they are now Chic, so yes – most definitely YES! So much so, in fact, that it has required approximately 2 weeks for each of us to stop talking about how good their Magic Rolls are, having tried them for the first time! Here you can enjoy a wide range of produce at all the different times of the day: in the morning go for the Hot Porridge with Toasted Banana, for lunch the tasty tortilla or baguette with something delicious from the deli counter. And when dinner comes around, you can come back for the Magic Roll itself, because you deserve it! Crammed full of a meat or vegetarian filling, add the sauce of your choice, and let Leon and Co work their magic… In short, we believe in magic, and you will too once you have visited!” – Invitation Platinum
“Magic Roll has a bit of a cult following among the young wise ones of Bristol. And rightly so. Not only do you get to choose what goes into your wrap, down to the type of salad you desire, but you’ll find yourself choosing from an immense variety of yummy things. In fact, the choosing might be your only problem. The kind staff will pack your roll so full that you probably won’t need to eat again for a very long time. And it stays open super late so you can sober yourself up after a boozy night with a tasty but nutritious alternative to that greasy old kebab…” – itchybristol.co.uk
