So shoot me, I'm stretching the boundaries of Bristol with this one. On the very outskirts into the…read morecountryside, almost to Bath (the two cities are merging now, don't you know). 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!

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.

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.

Situated outside of the hustle and bustle of the city centre, the kind of crowd you'll find here is the one that loves a descent pint of beer and an evening spent with friends. It can be quite difficult to get a seat here, so it's not a great place to take someone who hates standing with a drink. The King's Head will give you a little slice of history and take you back to a time when not every pub was a chain, and when reasonable prices weren't a rarity.

You can see part of the old house at the rear end of the car park.

Most recently the pub had decked area added for the smokers, keeping them happy post smoking ban! This is the home for the Bristol Sunday Football league, and if you come at certain times you can see teams celebrating victories or the planning side crowded around a table trying to organise the fixtures and check everything is rgoing smoothly.

It is situated very close to the Temple Meads train station and near the IBIS Hotel, but rather difficult to locate if you don't live around the area or already know about it. I'd suggest you google it and hunt it down because it is an awesome little pub. The feel of this pub is cosy, wooden antique-y furniture litted about the place, and a warm fire burning (if the weather is chilly). As this pub is affiliated with the Bristol Beer Factory, the ales on tap are the Beer Factory ales, like No. 7, Sunrise, Stout, Red and usually one guest ale! They are usually about £2.70 - £2.80 - pretty good. Beers on tap here are Fosters, Grolsch and the cider is a lovely fizzy Ashton Press. There is outside seating, as well as a courtyard at the back with a nice sheltered bit for when it starts raining. The food! They pride themselves on good, hearty, fresh and locally sourced food. The vegetarian lasagne and sunday roasts are my favourites here. This pub is just a lovely place to spend hours, having a quiet pint and food, with a book off their bookshelf, by the roaring fire. Loads of games are available here to play with- Downfall, Guess who?, Jenga, Chess....great for the kids and adults too. A venue always filled with the locals - it seems they have kept this pub a little secret very well indeed! Head down here and you'll love this place as much as I do. Guaranteed.

There's often footie on the telly, darts tournaments and a competitive quiz night. Prober job!

Located at the bottom of Snady park high street you often see people charging down the hill towards the Sandringham itching for a pint.

I think if you find yourself in here with only one or two people then the vibe drastically changes.
