   Food took 45 minutes and when we notified a member of staff he told us, walking away as he spoke, ‘obviously there’s been 5 tickets before yours so the chef is just working through them’. This was not obvious. What is obvious is that they are not equipped with the necessary amount of staff to cater for their customers. The batter on the chicken burger I ordered was burnt so obviously they spent a fair bit of time on that. Don’t recommend

   We went in early on two weekends for a couple of rugby games. On both occasions we received a warm welcome & excellent service. The bar & garden are both nice places to sit. Loads of screens outside and shelter from the sun / rain. Staff did a great job. Little things like making sure the sound was up before kick off & checking whether food was for veggie or vegan v much appreciated.

   Great place to chill and get some beer or cider. They show football and possible other games(not too sure, the bar staff is friendly and helpful. And if you manage to get before 8 on so you could get the pay hours offer for Amstel or Teachers inches for £3.50. Great spot for drinks inside or outside - street seating area or garden area.

   Last sitting for Mothers day Sunday roast. Our table had all four options and all were first class! Tender meats, perfect rosaries and tasty gravy. Great service after what must have been busy day. Will be back again.

   Amazing little find. Fancied a drink then decided to stay for the roast which was not disappointing. Great service from Kate, fresh and tasty food from the kitchen.

   We managed to get a table booking only a day in advance and I will Definitely be adding the Punchbowl to my ‘Sunday Lunch’ spots in Bristol. Delicious Roast, Beef was beautifully pink and very well cooked. Looking around the room the chicken and roast pork belly also looked great. The service and hospitality from the staff was great, we were even given a free extra bowl of roast potatoes as they had extra at the end of service which was well appreciated. No complaints here, would highly recommend!

   It's been a while since I've been in here. A good decision to walk in when we were looking for Sunday lunch today. Food and service were both excellent. Visited again today (October 2022) and the Sunday roast was still as good. No starters or puddings on offer, but the roast is right up there with the best in Bristol. And still a proper friendly welcome from the staff. Great place.

   Lovely pub about 15 min from Bristol Temple Meads station - we went on Sunday and their roast was excellent and the portions were very generous! Service is attentive and friendly. A good place to spend a few hours while waiting for the train which was our case, well worth going to from the town center where we spent the night. Well done to all!
