About The Malago

Bedminster's local favourite runs on generous plates and a genuinely relaxed room, which matters when you arrive with a pram and a hungry toddler. Buggy access is straightforward, high chairs are there, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days plus a kids' menu and vegan options. The Sunday roast has a real reputation locally — extra touches like soup and proper sides — and the pork hot pot and onglet steak starter get talked about constantly. Portions are big, prices have crept up, and it sits firmly in the ££ bracket. Two honest snags: food can take 45 minutes or more to arrive, so bring something to occupy small hands, and it gets noisy when full. Book ahead. Staff stay warm even on packed Friday nights — one parent found nothing "too much trouble" with a large group.
