Ok, now I'm looking at it on a proper monitor instead of my phone (and not been in the pub for several hours beforehand) I think we can discount raven.
I agree with Neil that it's a juvenile gull, but I'm fairly familiar with LBB and Herring gulls as adults and juveniles of both species are abundant in central Bristol and it doesn't look like one to me.
That leaves GBB as the obvious choice, but there is a lot of white on the bird, little pink patch on the bill makes me think it is possibly a juvenile Iceland gull.
(and yes, I've used a field guide to assist me with this one!)
