Pub in Bristol

“Wow! So good! Came here for a birthday dinner and had the best time. I’d highly recommend. The food was impeccable, my partner is a vegetarian and had the most amazing dining experience, we usually spend our time in restaurants talking and talking but we were totally silent for about half an hour as we ate. Everything was incredibly delicious, my fillet steak was to die for! However, our favourite part was the incredible service. From the minute we stepped in the hostess was welcoming and friendly, she was so lovely and set a high standard of high quality. Our waitress Meg was incredible. She was very kind and friendly, she really made the night for us. A big thanks to all the staff working tonight, especially the woman who recommended our wine, as they truly made the experience wonderful. We will definitely be back! The staff really do work hard and it shows, everyone was so so lovely. If you’re in the Clifton area PLEASE go to this restaurant you won’t regret it. 10/10”

“Fantastic bar. Very knowledgeable and engaged staff. Fantastic cocktail selection and a great combination of local drinks, spirits and bar snacks. Decor is funky and fun, individual and in keeping with the feel of the place. Highly recommended. Do visit and enjoy. Plus they have Octomore Whisky!!!”

“Fantastic food, good service. The chef was saying about making corned beef hash and bubble and squeak (with a mushroom, tomato and poached egg topping). I was very happy and can't wait to go back.”

“Ordered 5 pizzas over the phone and the last one came out of the oven exactly 20 minutes later when I walked through the door for pickup. Perfect timing. Really nice food. We had a selection and everyone was happy. Will be back”

“An amazing place with extremely tasty fresh food and a great selection of craft beer. We had dinner one night then went for breakfast the next day and kept coming back. After trying a few other places in Portishead, this is definitely our favorite. Our kids loved it as well.”

“Exquisite “fine dining” experience beyond what you might expect from a typical pub!!! Great selection of beer on draft! We ate under huge canopy outside & inside the pub was full of olde world charm & character!! Friendly staff!! Will return again when in the area!”

“It's our go to restaurant for steak even though we're not local to it it's worth the trip. Always melt in the mouth steak. Puddings are good too, have had the Creme brûlée and the rice pudding. Big portions and good flavours.”

“Amazing food! I had the scallops, then duck, and then the chocolate ganache to finish - all dishes were very delicious and cooked well. The cheese board also has a great selection of cheeses, and they give you a mountain of crackers. The staff were also lovely and attentive. Will definitely be recommending this restaurant to everyone!”

“This place continues to be the best fine dining experience around. The menu is compact and exquisite and everything is cooked to perfection. The wine list is very comprehensive and advice is offered on pairing with the menu. All in all the best place to eat in Thornbury.”

“very positive experience of today's breakfast at turtle bay. The breakfast I chose was delicious. I also had the opportunity to meet the head chef, for which I am very grateful. full professionalism, overall very nice service! I recommend.”

“Friendly staff. The set menu is pretty good. Steak was not bad and the sides were top notch. The jus/gravy was to die for. House wine with the set menu was excellent, well chosen whoever was responsible. Quick service.”

“I booked a private party for my wedding here. They happily accommodated 30 people, and we could have had up to 60. The appetizers they selected for us were all delicious and accommodated diet restrictions as well. Highly recommend for parties, meals, or a quick drink or coffee with some of the friendliest faces around!!”

“Had a lovely birthday lunch at Ponte Vecchio last week. We were well looked after by Tommy in particular, but all of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Food was all delicious, especially the scallop starter they had on special. Will definitely go back next time we're in Bath, highly recommended.”

“There are lots of good walks near Hinton Charterhouse. I would recommend that, like us, you make the Stag your pit-stop of choice. The welcome is always warm and the food is really excellent. My friend had a Cajun Chicken and prawn special, which he said was delicious. Because I know how good it is, I went for ‘Old faithful’ - ham, 2 eggs and chips. It was to-die-for, as always. Home cooked ham packed with flavour, tender as you like, thick carved and plentiful; oh, and runny eggs! It’s a sensational lunch. It won’t be long before we find ourselves back here, I’m sure. UPDATE - We just visited for a Sunday roast. I can honestly say it’s probably the best pub roast I’ve ever had. You certainly won’t leave hungry. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely superb all round. The pub is full of character and warmth, with a beautiful garden and amazing countryside views. The menu is simple, refined, and consistently excellent. And Felix was outstanding. Friendly, professional and attentive without being intrusive … truly memorable service in a wonderful setting.”

“I went for a Christmas meal with friends. It's a lovely old pub, with a number of dining rooms. It's a bit out of the way, but worth it when you get there. I had a very tasty nut roast while others had a traditional turkey meal. The food was good and there was plenty of it.”

“Had an amazing dinner at Druid’s Arms with friends; the food was absolutely delicious and the staff made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend!”

“Lots of gluten free options, delicious food. Gorgeous scenic location. Cutely decorated, cosy rooms. Feels so calming and welcoming. Staff are hospital and kind. Exceeded my expectations and would definitely recommend visiting.”

“I visited The Lock Up on Sunday for a roast, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had! This was my third time at the restaurant, and it was by far the best experience yet. I came this time as a Coeliac and was absolutely over the moon with the gluten-free options available—both for mains and desserts. I was especially thrilled to have a Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese, which are such rare treats for Coeliacs. I had the beef, which was cooked perfectly—tender and not at all chewy. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. I really appreciated the care they took. Highly recommend—especially if you're looking for a great gluten-free Sunday roast!”

“From the minute we arrived, the waiter made us feel so welcome. All the staff were very friendly and funny. The food was incredible - pizza and pasta alike - and the atmosphere was really buzzing. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting authentic and great value Italian cuisine with brilliant service.”

“Go here, go here now. The Pizzas they serve are on another level, they are in a league of their own. The cafe is always clean and is neatly laid out. The staff are always friendly and laid back. Great if you have kids as there's a box full of toys. Also great if you want a coffee and to watch the world go by, or even a cheeky beer. I love this place.”

“We stayed away for my husband birthday. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. I highly recommend the raspberry and rhubarb gin! The room was cosy and well equipped and the pub had such a lovely vibe, it was bustling and the smell of warm mulled wine filled the air!”

“We have been here a few times now and our favourite thing is the aubergines and the marinated anchovies. We had a botifarra sausage dish with beans but the beans were not cooked enough. The aubergines with molasses were iconic as always. The tortilla de patatas got mixed reviews (no onions or seasoned enough). The girls loved the two desserts although one of them noticed that the basque cheesecake was a New York cheesecake not a basque one - indeed. The girls also love their drinks. The atmosphere is banging and because it’s a small place it gets very cosy.”

“Exquisite Experience and food lives here. Menu was a valentine menu which might be different from the norms. As a gourmet, I cannot fault all of the food and service that was served to me during my time here. Traveled 1hr30min to dine here and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I shall be back and I deeply recommend.”

“Great old pub with lots of atmosphere!”

“On my way to Celtic manor I stopped in for breakfast. They have and excellent selection of breakfast and brunch items. It was delicious and the service and atmosphere was pleasant. I would believe there pizzas are great too based on the wood fire oven. Definitely would recommend”

“I love this traditional British pub, just visited from the campsite opposite. A very warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. Lovely selection of ciders and beers. I wished I lived opposite”

“Visited with my family of 5 and 3 small children. We had the fish n chips, lasagna and ceasar chicken. All food was delicious. The kid portion of fish n chips had the best fish and best fries. Smaller in size and crustier ”

“We booked this place for the time as a group of 10 and had a great evening. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. We will definitely be heading back again and would recommend this place. It’s not anything fancy in terms of the place itself but the service and food was superb!”

““From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, always ready with a smile. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor — you can tell the chefs put real passion into their cooking. My personal highlight was the [Linguine pasta], which was cooked to perfection. Prices are fair for the quality, and I left already planning my next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and genuine hospitality.””
