Pub · Bristol
Three thousand-odd carvery plates a year get served here, and families keep coming back for the Sunday roast — chunky soft carrots, plenty of veg on the counter, and staff happy to pile on the crispy bits if you ask. It's cheap, it's always busy, and the app ordering is a genuine help when you've a hungry toddler: drinks land within minutes rather than after a hunt for someone. Buggies get in fine, there's a kids' menu and high chairs, free parking, and clean toilets. The cakes are enormous — one parent came away with half theirs boxed up — and there's a free one on your birthday. Worth knowing the carvery quality does wobble; when it's been sitting a while the roast potatoes suffer, though the team sort it out readily if you say something.
