Restaurant · Bristol
A bright, relaxed pub dining room in Bristol that suits a family lunch better than most — there's room to get a pram in, free parking outside, and tables in the garden when the weather holds. Food is proper pub cooking: a juicy burger with crispy fries, roasts that land well, and baked cheese with bread that's rich enough to share around the table while the children wait. Service tends to be smooth and unhurried, and there's a kids' menu and high chairs without any fuss. Worth knowing that it gets genuinely busy, and consistency wanders when it does — some plates arrive a touch cool and the kitchen can be heavy-handed on seasoning. Go at a quieter hour and it's a comfortable, welcoming spot; one parent found the whole thing "relaxed and welcoming" from the door onwards.
