   Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was me, but on a cold wet evening at 7.30pm there were about 10 people there. Seems like a decent enough place but the lone bartender was a bit miffed she had to stop what she was doing to serve me and then followed a series of grunts by way of communication - having just left another pub where the staff were the opposite end of the service spectrum I was disappointed - possibly explained why the the other had about 2-300 punters! Reasonable prices and location for trains. Don’t expect much. Oh yes the toilets - that’s another story - the gents were disgusting. Half inch of liquids on the floor - not sure it’s source. Urinals flooded. Two cubicles blocked and dirty. Mentioned to the aforementioned happy, smiling chirpy member of staff who said “Yeh I Know” ! I’d rather buy a bottle of white lightening and sit in the park !

   Formerly known as the Reckless Engineer (in my view a far better name), it's the best pub to go to if you have time to spare before catching a train at Temple Meads station, and they have screens showing live train times. They have a reasonable selection of beers and I remember having a pretty good pizza here some time ago.

   Decent option to kill some time for the train. Did a standard burger without trying to make out it was anything more. All the better for it. £7+ for a neckoil is a bit steep outside of london but maybe its only london types who drink it. Barman was happy to stick the FA cup on TV when asked.

   Wow, where to start, staying over for two nights in Bristol and looking for somewhere good to eat and drink, on recommendation decided to pay a visit to The Sidings, and was not disappointed, friendly welcome from all, great atmosphere, great music, Exelent food and drink, all reasonably priced and all the food was very fresh, with great presentation and all home made and it certainly shows! So much so i decided to return for a second visit, also met the Chef Aaron as he conscientiously comes out to your table to make sure that everything is to your liking and has a passion for what he dose which is a pleasant surprise and something you don't always see nowadays, will definitely call again and gladly recommend, please keep up the great work.

   Nice pub, haven't visited since it was the engineer and seems to have improved with much nicer decor and furnishing than I remember. Drinks reasonably priced and a very handy departs board. Very nice pub would visit again whilst waiting for my train.

   Liked it. The lad behind the bar recommended a few spots and they ended up being nice. Cheap beer for a first/final pint before leaving. Very clean.

   Nice little place for a drink, a wide range of beverages on offer. However the food menu is a bit limited. Apart from that all good and close to templemeads train station, it also has a live departure board in the pub if you are waiting for a train.
