Bookings are worth making here, because the space is small and, as one diner put it, some seats are "squished" close together — fine with a folded buggy but worth a quiet weekday lunch rather than a packed Saturday. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all there, plus outdoor tables that many people choose over the warm, fragrant dining room (the cooking smells cling to hair and clothes, which some find charming and some don't). The food is genuinely special: goat ragu, Cornish sole, lamb shoulder, crisp artichokes with a mountain of aioli, and a tiramisu families rate as Bristol's finest. Plates are sized for sharing, which suits picky eaters. Staff explain every dish patiently. A five-course dinner for two runs over £100, though a £30 set lunch is the softer landing.
