    I wish I had found this place before April 23rd, it would have been great to come here on St…read moreGeorge's day. This pub/resteraunt advertises itself mostley to people going to and from the airport. I can imagine that if you want a quick hit of all that is great about England before you jet of somewhere, of if while away on another sunny shore you have dreamt of that first roast dinner upon your return to England then this is certainly one of the best places to come. A beautiful building with wonderful customer service and fantastic freshley cooked local food. Places like this don't need to advertise as word of mouth pretty much does it all for them, and all I hear is good things, which is why I paid them a visit, and they certainly did not dissapoint.

Due to this location and coupled with the fact that it serves a full menu throughout the day, the George & Dragon is ideally situated for the departing or arriving traveller, and indeed is largely filled with that most unusual of clientelle. The food here is pretty good and all meals are freshly cooked to order. Knowing it's punters are usually people waiting for a plane, the restaurant is open all day so those awkward departure or delayed arrivals are not a problem, as you can arrange your meal around your itinerary. The pub does have it's fair share of regualrs from the village though, and as a result has a decent selection of ales, lagers and beers on tap. Not really worth a special trip, but definitely one to look our for if your near the airport.

    Terrible experience! Booked 3 rooms weeks in advance (plus another 2 rooms booked separately) and…read morecheck in was advertised as 14:00, our party arrived at around 18:00 to be told the rooms hadn't been cleaned yet, and no indication of time they would be ready. The staff seemed to have no idea of what was going on and just kept telling us 'there's nothing we can do we're short staffed'. There was no manager on site and nobody who was able to help us. The rooms were eventually 'ready' at around 19:15. We had travelled for a surprise party we were attending in Nailsea and this made all of us late and missing the time we were due to arrive. Once in the rooms it was clear they had been rushed and were all in need of a deep clean and some TLC. Thick dust on skirting boards, stained carpets covered in bits, dirty shower screens, splatters down the walls and just generally very very grubby. It's obvious they've not been properly cleaned in a long time. The girl that was there cleaning was doing the best she could but had told us that she hadn't been called in until well after 14:00 when the rooms should have been ready. If we didn't have somewhere to be, and hadn't paid in advance, we most definitely would have found somewhere else to stay. In the morning we opened the window to let in some fresh air, as the rooms were very warm, only to find our room was above the staff smoking area. It instantly made our room stink of cigarette smoke as well as hearing the staff swearing and hollering below. Breakfast consisted of some pre packed pastries and dirty glasses for the juice, we had to go and ask for some clean glasses from the bar. The 'manager' was on site the following morning sat in the bar area. He was apparently aware of the issues but made no effort to come over to us with an apology or any solution or even bother to make contact with us. When we approached him all he kept repeating was 'I apologise but were short staffed, there's nothing I can do'. THATS YOUR JOB AS A MANAGER! I fully appreciate that things happen, it's life and things don't always go to plan, but it's the way things are dealt with. We received zero communication in advance to say there may be a delay with our room, this would have enabled us to make alternate plans etc. He then told us that it would be the same situation that evening for other guests arriving, with no indication of him or the other members of staff on site making any effort to solve the the situation and start cleaning rooms ready. They basically did not really care. Overall a terrible experience and would not stay here or recommended to anyone. If you want a clean room and a decent nights stay head to the Rising Sun down the road!

    The Blue Flame is a Nailsea institution. Whereas some pubs seek to turn their establishment into a…read moresleek contemporary lounge / bar, the Blue Flame cracks open barrels of rough cider, throws some stuffed badgers in the door way, and invites all farmers nationwide to take part in a bit of bridge. It's bloody brilliant. The pints are always straight from the barrel and absolutely fantastic, and the locals are always a great laugh. The decor of the place resembles a blokes house that he converted into a pub, which might sound off putting, but it emits such an incredible charm that you cant help but fall in love with the place. There's a huge outside seating area which is essentially half a football pitch thats well kept and great for children. The location is slap bang in the country, with little but cows and horses for miles around. It's a great bike ride in the day to get to, and certainly a taxi ride at night (no buses in these parts my laaaad!) This is a unique pub, and very special. If you fancy treating your mates to a great night out, then you wont be disappointed mingling with the locals and getting a bit of hops in you.

It's on the edge of town essentially in a country lane surrounded by fields. There's a decent beer garden for when the weather permits. There is always a good selection of cask ales and ciders plus a few standard lagers. It's worth the effort to get out here.

It's a traditional pub to its core, with a good selection of local ales at excellent prices. It's got low, wooden beamed ceilings and open fires and just the kind of pub you can expect a resident dog to stroll around and gain affection from the ale supping clients. The last time I came here it was on decidedly wintery night, and the pub did just the trick for an evening tipple in its cosy, warm atmosphere. They've got a few seats outside as well, so when the weather is good you can admire the view of the local rolling hills and countryside, and watch the sunset over the distant hills...(that is, whilst the planes land at Bristol Airport on top of the hill on the other side of the valley). A really good local pub.

They even manage to to get a view of some nice countryside whilst only being a half hour walk from Clifton. Perfect for those of that aspire to be the sort of people that go on long walks to country pubs but don't quite have the time/inclination. Cosy and localish, this is a typical country pub, well worth a visit to get away from the stresses and strains of Bristol.
