   Great value roast (£9) for Sunday lunch. Lots of screens to watch the sport. Friendly staff.

   Always enjoy popping into the Wackum. The staff, particularly Leah and Maudie, provide excellent service. They are super friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is warm, and the food is delicious. If you're looking for a good pub in Bristol, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Very lucky to have this pub as my local :)

   Came to the Wackum today and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I was served by Leah who was very welcoming and gave extremely good service even though it was my first time visiting the pub. Had the two course meal with my friend consisting of a lasagne and fish and chips. Both meals were cooked to perfection by the chef Damion and were hot and very tasty. I finished off the meal by enjoying an apple crumble. I was amazed at the value of the food in a really modern and comfortable pub setting. It surprised me as it was completely differently from what the outside suggests. Thankyou to the team members for treating me like someone they had met many times. Me and my friend will definitely be returning on a regular basis. We since have returned and really pleasantly surprised that the atmosphere and service is exactly the same. Thankyou to all the Wackum team who work so hard.

   Absolutely love the place! Having drank there in the 1990s, I am not surprised to see the place still going strong. The Wackum is always immaculately clean. Food (reasonably priced) is always well presented, delicious and hot. All staff are always welcoming and accommodating. With TV screens covering every angle of the place - including the garden, what more could you ask for? Laura, the landlady takes her role very seriously and fits the job like a true professional. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The Karaoke nights from what I have witnessed have seen some impressive singers! If you want a drink and meal in peace, take yourself along. Groups are best to book in advance. Parking spaces can be found in close proximity and surrounding roads.

   Just a really amazing, proper local pub, I've spent many a great evening at The Wackum, the pub is fantastically ran by Damion and Laura, always a warm welcome from them both!! New years Eve party 2022 was simply epic, the effort made was off the scale, I really can't speak highly enough of the pub, Damion and Laura, keep up the great work guys!! X

   Apparently haunted, the Wackum Inn Whitehall, Bristol, was originally called the Beafort Arms. It picked up the sobriquet 'Beatem and Wackem' when on paydays miners wives would come to the pub to forcibly evict their husbands, stopping them from spending all their wages and to come home. The 'Beatem' was dropped over the years. This reviewer has noticed that peoples and place names, and even some words, are shortened in the Bristol area. Back to the pub. Very popular and well patronised by the local community with many large TV screens raised high for capacity viewing. On game days, this place is standing room only. But more importantly to your narrator, it is one of the many Greene King pubs on the Cask Marque Ale Trail - and the purpose of my visit. Although the front-of-house knew little of it (the CMAT), explanation attracted interest and the Certificate scanned without problem. The Timothy Taylors 4.1°abv sampled on the day was in noble condition and well deserving the Accreditation awarded.
