Grilled Cheese Festival Food Truck (prosciutto pesto (bottom) and blackberry brie (top))
Kyle V.

We found their food truck at the Grilled Cheese Festival at Cool Today Park. They had their line moving faster than everyone else and we enjoyed the sandwiches. The chippers with ranch were a great side compared to a typical bag of chips. The Prosciutto Pesto Grilled Cheese was very good and we liked the Blackberry Brie Grilled Cheese as well. While they weren't our favorites of the festival, they were close to the top. The staff was friendly and the prices were similar to the rest.

Sausage Rolls

The other night I had dinner at British Open Pub in Venice, FL. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. Since I was alone, I took a seat at the bar. I asked for a Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale, and ordered my dinner. I selected Guinness Stew and Sausage Rolls to come out when they were ready. First out was the stew. What a fantastic presentation! The stew was overflowing a puff-pastry "bowl" and it was a good size portion. Unfortunately, the presentation didn't translate to the taste. The meat was tender. However, there was an unpleasant, acidic bite and the pastry was tough. Next came the sausage rolls. The presentation couldn't have been more different. Three rolls were thrown onto a too-large plate. There was no garnish or sauce and the pastry was overcooked and burnt in places. Thankfully, they tasted good and the pastry was flaky. I ended the night with a Smithwick's Irish Ale.

Salad

Five gorgeous stars for the friendly and accommodating staff at the British Open Pub, with special love to server Adam and bartender Emily (...I think it was Emily? Whoever was working a HUGE crowd at the bar on the evening of Friday July 5th!) My family and I visited this pub twice throughout our time in Venice as we were staying quite nearby and this spot checked all of the boxes for large group lunch and late night drinks. For lunch, I enjoyed a summer salad that really hit above its weight class for my expectations. Prosciutto, chicken, fruit, cheese, fresh arugula. It was delightful! This salad rotates but I highly recommend if it's on the menu. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their sandwiches, fish and chips, and assorted dishes. Adam was a superstar throughout, checking in on us, super quick, super kind. We returned later that night for drinks with an even larger group, and we all left amazed by our bartender's ability to remember everyone's drink and stay on top of things for the 2+ hours we were there shutting down the bar - working solo. It was something like 16 people with differing drink orders taking up a large portion of the bar. Serious kudos to her for her kindness, patience, and keeping the vibes generally very high. If you're looking for a go-to spot in Venice, this is it. Thanks for helping to make great family memories!

Onion rings
Kyran D.

First off, everything is EXPENSIVE for what you get! The onion rings were good and priced reasonably, but the entrees are where that goes out the window. My fish and chips were around $23 (for 3 medium pieces of unseasoned fish and kind of stale fries), the salmon pesto pasta dish was similar; one salmon fillet, 2 pieces of toasted bread, and the pasta with sautéed mushrooms etc. That was priced higher, over $25, the fish was mostly good, we both didn't like the bread, it needed more flavor and was dry, and lastly the pasta, needed a lot more pesto! We won't be back for this overpriced pub food, the moving train and decor are fun, that's about it.

Fish and chips

This pub style restaurant with a British theme is located in Venice, FL in a busy plaza that has lots of parking. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it with cardboard cut outs of the late Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III. There is also a train set that goes around a track above the tables. The service was quick and decent, and seating was comfortable. The reasons that I can only give 3 stars are as follows: 1. The price is too expensive for what you get. Lunch for two people (no alcoholic beverages) should not cost $70 before a tip. 2. The food is not authentically British (I'm from the UK originally). For example, in Britain fish and chips consists of a unitary piece of cod and hand cut chips that are fried. Here the fish was served in small pieces and the chips were frozen American steak fries. It's just not the same. If you're charging $23 for fish and chips then you really should hand cut and fry the chips. I did enjoy what I got, but there are other places that do fish and chips for much less at a similar quality.

Cottage pie
Sierra P.

Great food and service definitely would return they are awesome with dietary restrictions if needed. We ordered a cottage pie and pot roast with mashed potatoes both dishes tasted amazing, was also a very clean restaurant with a cute little train making its way around
