Pub · Bristol
Riverside dining on Bristol's harbourside, where the decking looks straight out at the rowers going past — worth timing a late-afternoon table for the sunset if you can. It's a smarter room than most family spots, so it suits children who'll sit for a meal rather than roam, but there are high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free buggy access, and the team are unhurried and genuinely warm without rushing anyone along. Sunday roasts land in generous portions with seconds on Yorkshires offered, and the gnocchi, steak and hake all get singled out. Large groups are welcomed easily, though pre-ordering keeps things smooth. Worth knowing: the kitchen doesn't open until 5pm on some days, burgers run around £19, and the pub side of the menu is less reliable than the proper dishes. Book ahead for a window table.
