A lovely local pub in Winterbourne Down…read more This has been my family's local pub for around 20 years and it hasn't changed one bit. It's still as charming, still has the same locals, still the same landlord and, I think, still the same roaring log fire. The Cross Hands doesn't do food, but it does do lots of guest ciders, ales and a brilliant atmosphere. The landlord and landlady (Pete and Lesley) are great (Pete is the spitting image of Peter Stringfellow - with open shirt and hairy chest) and make you feel like part of the furniture - which can make leaving quite difficult at times! Friday nights are good fun. Typical local pub style. A bit of cheese on the jukebox and a good mix of young'ens and old'ens to keep it interesting from one end of the pub to the other. But the best thing about this pub isn't its huge back garden. It isn't the fact you can use one of their massive BBQ's and bring your own meat/food. It isn't even the regular events they hold in the summer with live bands and cider in boxes. The best thing about the Cross Hands is the pub dog. A beautiful Staffordshire Bull terrier who has the gentlest demeanour and wonderful personality. She'll pin her belly to the ground and wiggle her way over to say hello. All the while snorting like a little pig. She has her own arm chair and sits with the locals who play cards on the big round table from 4pm every day. This is a lovely little boozer that has a huge garden for the summer and wonderful warm log fire for the winter. As it is out of town, you can knock 40-80p off the price of pint. A must if you're in the area.

This place has tons of character and a great choice of beers ciders and ales all at a very reasonable price. There is a beautiful big garden out back or benches out front if you fancy just sitting and watching the world drift by. Pete the barman is one of lifes winners always there with a warm welcome and a joke or two for you to enjoy. Stick a lepord print thong on him and marvel at the way he transform into Peter Stringfellow oh yeah ! All in all a class bozzer in the country.

The ales are still as good today, including Doombar (and 11 other cask ales for your tasting pleasure). The pub is located opposite the Horfield Sports centre (oh the choice you'll have to make - gym or pub) an imposing old building literally on the green. Inside is a bit faux-antique, but warm and inviting all the same. Food smells wafting from the place when I was there were stomach-rumblingly good, unfortunately I've yet to taste the grub. All the more reason to go back.

Wife, daughter, and I are here in Rangeworthy visiting with old friends we knew from years ago in Lompoc, and have had a great time at the Rose and Crown. Yesterday was the 13th annual Beer Festival (an annual fund-raising event) at the Rose and Crown, where ales, beers, and ciders flowed freely, burgers and sausages were grilled, and music was made under clear blue skies in the rear garden. We spent four hours at the festival, during the afternoon, chatting with local characters and trying a variety of ciders and beers. It was a very good time for all. Then today, after helping with the clean-up in the back garden at the R&C, we booked a family table at the Pub and all got together for Sunday dinner. We had roast beef and roast pork dinners with steamed vegetables, potatoes, cheesy cauliflower, and Yorkshire pudding. I had a pint of stout with dinner and a wonderful bit of spotted dick for dessert. The food and service was impeccable; the setting is grand, and the entire experience has capped off a great visit to Gloucestershire.

Having successfully avoided The Baileys Court for around 4 years, a mate persuaded me to go for a…read moredrink with him - and I've never felt so depressed with a pint in my hand! The Baileys Court is a a chain pub that sells Fosters, Blackthorn, John Smiths and very bad, microwaved food. It's the kind of place that has a food offer every night (thursday curry club for £4.99) It has a very neutral, safe decor with matching chairs and tables with terrible, 90's colour scheme. They do well because they have a lot of TV's with sport and it fits in well with the general Bradley Stokes vibe!

It's pretty large now, as a dining area has been added due to the popularity of its food. The food is standard pub grub, but the prices are so cheap it's unbelievable! And for what it is, the food is good quality. They also have kids meals (kids are very welcome here) and serve kids drinks too. There is a pretty big beer garden, but it only has tables in it - nothing for the kids to play on, but they're happy just running round in the sun. The pub also screens sport on its large screen TV, and there's an outdoor pergola for all the smokers! Beer prices are reasonable, and there's a good selection. Staff are also very friendly, so it's well worth a visit.

We ended up booking last minute at the Winterstream Farm, who were fantastic at seating our party…read moreof 12 after a terrible experience with another "restaurant" who took our booking, sent a confirmation email and then refused us service on our arrival, before lying to other customers that we were the reason THEY couldn't be served (see below). Winterstream Farm greeted us enthusiastically, served us in good time with delicious food, despite how busy it was when we turned up around 6pm. The staff were friendly and polite- a completely different experience to the one we had at the place we booked previously. Plus they didn't lie to their customers, which is always a bonus(!) Thank you! For the last minute rescue after we had called several other places who were unable to accommodate us at such short notice! 10/10 ~~~ Original experience: Mum booked a table for a party of 12 around lunchtime for Brimsham Park. She received a confirmation email that it had been booked for 5:30pm. On arrival, our party of 12 was told that they were short staffed and could not serve us food. When the manager was asked for, we were told that he was busy in the kitchen and could not speak with us. On our return home, it was discovered through a Facebook post, that the restaurant had refused service to other customers, citing that they were busy due to a party of 12 arriving. Presuming that party was us, and we didn't receive ANY service, just excuses, it appears they were lying to other customers and blaming us for it. Don't go here- it's no wonder they are short staffed if they treat their staff anything like their customers.

I normally go for the steaks and especially the Mixed Steak meal. You need a big appetite to eat it all! The soup of the day is my usual starter and it changes frequently! Along with bread n butter for dipping. Although the few puddings I've tried are exceptional don't order one until you finish the main course coz you may well be too full! And look out for the offers, depending on what day it is. They could have a bigger selection of beers although there should be one that you will be familiar with. Great atmosphere with many smiley faces as people chat and enjoy their food. Couple of fun game/gambling machines if you like that kinda thing. Fresh well looked after toilets. Altogether a great eat out especially if you are local.
