The atmosphere is warm and cosy and as the building has many original features still in tact it also gives of a certain country pub charm. The business is split into the two traditional sections of a bar/ bar eating areas and a more formal restaurant area. Food here is mostly traditional based country pub food with a few hidden gems. The savoury eccles cake is amazingly tasty and well worth a try if it's available on your visit. Meal sizes are just right and the selection of local ales is good. The service was friendly, fast and efficient (really couldn't have asked for better).

This is a very nice out of town pub/restaurant with a wondeful homely feel to the place. It has…read morerecently been refurbished and they have improved on what was already a very warm and welcoming place to eat and drink. If you're coming here for a bite to eat or just for a swift half you won't be dissapointed as they do both with aplomb. The service is excellent and very friendly and with a fantastic beer garden, it is the perfect place for a mid summers pub lunch. The prices are pretty good too and the portion sizes are more than ample. Bargain. Good quality food, great location and settting, nice decor inside and out. What an English boozer should be.

We visited the Lock Keeper Pub for lunch and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing…read more The food was okay, nothing to complain about, but the issue came with the service. The staff refused to accept a voucher obtained from a charity event, explaining that the manager who issued it no longer works there and voucher is not signed. This felt unfair and unprofessional, as customers should not be penalized for internal staffing changes, especially when the voucher was received through a charitable event. Because of the way this situation was handled, the overall experience was negative and left us dissatisfied.

You can expect a warm welcome as well as a friendly and informal service here, highly recommended for a lunch time meal. Behind the bar they have a wide selection of fine wines, spirits and real ales, with Sharps Doombar, Wells's Bombardier and Courage Best as well as your bog standard lagers for the kids. With such authentic traditional features, this place is definitely one for those on the lookout for that old-school English boozer.

If you're a tourist looking for the ye olde English kind of pub then the Old Lock & Weir is ideal…read moreas it boasts three hundred years of histiry, pre dating the time the riveer became navigable. It has something of an odd layout inside (odd for contemporary times) as it has the main flagstone bar up a flight of stairs, whilst downstairs houses three smaller sized "drinking rooms". The food as you'd expect is very English and traditional, and is all freshly sourced and cooked to order. Moving outside of the pub itself you'll find a great heated patio area which has fantastic views along the river's edge. This pub has bags of charachter and charm. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon lunch and great when the weathers fine sitting by the bank of the river.

We first entered the grand old bank that is now Cosy Club last week for breakfast and promised…read moreourselves that we would return for dinner, so this evening I had tapas (£11.50 for three small dishes) that consisted of small Cumberland sausages, chorizo and fish. The other dish was a New York steak ciabatta (with amazing chips). We ordered wine and washed the tasty meal down before following it up with sticky toffee pudding and a decidedly evil peanut butter cheesecake (which comes in a glass). We like it here. It's grand and light, and the food is good and reasonably priced. What would we change? We would upgrade the condiments, so that the ketchup is better, and that authentic maple syrup is used on our pancakes rather than golden syrup, which is thick and doesn't taste of much. We would also have preferred our meals a bit hotter, as we felt like we had to wolf it down before it got cold. But these are small niggles that can be easily fixed, and probably will be at some point if the professionalism of the staff is anything to go by. They're friendly, not over-familiar, not too pushy, and they seem to want to go out of their way to make sure you enjoy Cosy Club. The wine list is short, but will hopefully improve in time. As of writing, it's only been open a couple of weeks. I look forward to being able to buy Champagne by the glass!

So I only had a couple days in Bristol, and…read moremost of the days were spent in meetings, so I did not have a ton of meals to explore the culinary scene. The first meal here was with a work group on the recommendation of a local. The next day I realized that my friends had booked the exact same restaurant for dinner. My friends offered to change the location for me, but my first meal was so good that I wanted them to try it too. It was just as good the second time around, I got a different starter, but stuck with the filet with peppercorn sauce for my main. Also, we got at different assortment of sides - all delicious! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a yummy steakhouse in Bristol.

I cannot wait to use it as a marinade as its earthy, chunky, savory, and more of the consistency of a gravy or chutney versus ketchup.

This was nothing like I was expecting it would be... and I don't mean that positively…read more Online it comes off as such a fun place, but what we walked into was a pretty rundown restaurant (and they'd only been open for a few months at that point) with dirty tables and floors, and servers who clearly didn't want to be working. They were nice enough, but they spent most of their time standing outside smoking. They have LOADS of clearly labeled vegan options, which is always appreciated. I got the Mothership: This Isn't A Chicken & Bacon Pie with leeks and white wine, minty mushy peas, crispy onions, gravy, and mash. It was edible; just soooooooo much less flavorful than it should have been and could have been given its components. The pie was mostly crust with very little filling; the mash was also barely there compared to their marketing photos on social which make it seem like you're getting some enormous tower of delicious eats. The food was bland, the atmosphere was bland, the experience was bland. There are better pie and mash places in Bath!

The New Inn is an early twentieth century coach house style pub on the A368…read more It has a large bar area complete with roaring log fire - very welcoming on cold winter's night. They have an extensive restaurant serving meals all day either from the specials board, carvery or lunch / evening menu. There's a great choice in food - veggies are well catered for and the fish dishes are very popular. I've been here on several occasions and the restaurant is usually busy and always very ably managed by Sonja the landlady. The prices are about average; £4 for a starter and £7.25 for lasagne with salad and garlic ciabatta but there are also sometime lunchtime special deals. All the staff here are very friendly, polite and accommodating and the atmosphere is homely and hospitable. There's some entertainment in the evenings and all you can eat buffets on Thursdays are only £9.95 per person and run alternately with Indian and Mexican food.
