"We have a brilliant team of chefs who will be cooking up a storm for the local community, as well as an excellent range of local suppliers who we'll be sourcing our produce from as much as possible."

The bistro area offers breakfast, lunch and dinner from 8am to 8pm daily, with Sunday roast specials and afternoon tea also on the menu.

There will also be gluten-free and vegan options available. All the meat served in the bistro is organic and locally sourced.

Barratt Homes' Charfield Gardens in South Gloucestershire will be made up of 115 two, three and four-bedroom homes, including 42 affordable homes, with substantial public open space and its own allotments and orchard.
