Certainly worth a trip to if you live in Bristol and have transport (designated driver obv, or you could cycle but only have a few drinks). In fact it is one of the nicest places I've been to in the Bristol/Bath area. So there. The pretty stone building covered in creeper sits in the centre of the tiny village of Kelston, right on the roadside. You know it'll be good, and you're not disappointed. Duck inside the door and you're faced with two bars serving several small but characterful rooms draped with hops and flagstone floors. Beers are as expected - Bath Ales and Ashton Press ciders amongst others. I didn't eat there - but the sizes of the sarnies being brought out from the kitchen sure looked spectacular - we're talking doorstopper of thick cheddar and pickle. Actually, I wish I did eat there and I'm going back.... For summery days there's a secluded back garden, where you can't even hear the main road.

The food is exceptional and they offer starters, main courses, grilled food and 3 course menus. My particular favorite is the Haloumi and pepper skewers and scampi served with mushy peas and chips. Delicious! The rooms are very average, just your ordinary B&B. Located only 3 miles from Bath city centre, I highly recommend you come here!

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.

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).

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.

The restaurant was recommended by our hotel with the caveat that service can be slow. We arrived for a rather early dinner and although there were a number of people in the pub area with drinks and snacks, the dining area we were seated in was empty. There seem to be several different dining areas in this establishment. The one we were seated in had six tables with a library motif overlooking the deck above the river. Very cozy with old photos of rowing teams, a fireplace and heavy woodwork. The menu contains a variety of choices from around the world. Our selections included chicken curry and a roasted vegetable pizza. The curry arrived on a bed of rice with a side of an apple sauce, naan bread and potatoes. In my mind it seemed an odd combination, two carbs, no veg and apple sauce. It made a filling meal minus the apple sauce which was not to my dining companions liking (fruit). The pizza crust was a bit under cooked and over all the pizza did not have much flavor. There were a lot of textures with the variety of vegetables and a good deal of cheese over all. I do like a fresh tasting tomato sauce that stands on it's own and perhaps the combination of ingredients on top hid the quality of the sauce. In any event, it all came down to the crust for me - it just didn't hold up in taste or texture. I found out after dinner it was 'pizza day' which entitled me to a free dessert. Yea! I ordered the brownie and swapped the menu ice cream for a vanilla then added an Amaretto accompaniment. The waitress mentioned Amaretto is not commonly ordered and she had to check if they carried it. The brownie was warm and satisfyingly rich. The restaurant itself is lovely. The waitstaff, very nice. They offer free wi-fi (password on a sign at the bar). If you have time for a leisurely meal and want a bit of menu variety, or a seat by the river, this could by your spot. I understand on a sunny day the outside terrace fills up fast, so get there early if that is your goal.

The food was excellent quality and reasonably priced, the service was perfect and the view of the River Avon really set the scene. Somebody recommended the "hot rock" slates to us (a hot slate they cook meat on). The steak I had was superb and can definitely recommend it if you're thinking of going to the Inn. Word of warning though. Every Saturday they offer some form of "entertainment". Not sure what this is as I didn't go on a Saturday night. But they do have a Cabaret Night the last Friday of each month that I'm aware of. And a Karaoke night the first Tuesday of each month apparently. Now, your enjoyment of such evenings will largely depend on what you're looking for in a restaurant. I for one am not looking for some God awful singer belting out Robbie Williams songs whilst I'm eating my dinner so will avoid the first Tuesday of each month like the plague.

However, my mother and I have wanted to like the food over and over again and feel there is a lack of understanding of food. It's cooked nicely but without the sort of understanding we hope to expect in places like this. But I am a vegetarian and so this amy well explain things. They can make something veggie for you but it will not overwhelm you. I prefer the more ordinary bar food. They have very nice rooms and packages. Many people come from London and far away places to come here. I believe they have a website. The Qype map is not accurate, so please check.
