Has got to be the worst pub in the area for food. We had lunch the food was well over cooked except for the beef which looked like a road kill. It was also freezing cold. On reporting this the management it seemed that no one cared. The place is now full of chavs from Henbury and Southmead. Gone down from the years when it was Harvester.

A variable pub. Nice when its quiet and you can enjoy your meal (cheap chain pub food - good to fill a hole but not exactly a treat) in peace.
Absolutely horrible when its full of stella-swilling chavs from the nearby estates.
For me, its real saving grace is being less than 5 minutes walk from home!

Alas, since my last post have visited on a few more occasions and the ale quality is going downhill in terms of quality and choice. Also, as seems to be the case with more than one pub in Westbury, the Abercrombie & Fitch chavs with buzz cuts and tattoos from the rough neighbouring estates of Southmead and Henbury have taken it over. A real roughhouse atmosphere in here on a Friday night. Anyhow, back to the ales, the pub seems to promote its interest in real ale and has guests from interesting, not often seen in Bristol, breweries. Problem is, they are often served in poor condition. The two tried last evening were flat and one was on the turn and vinegary. A problem with turnover is guess, and most of the above were on the Stella and suchlike. A real shame.

Looks like new owners are in here. There were five or six ales on and the three we tried in great nick. They have the usual suspects, ie Doom Bar, Butcombe etc, but also interesting guest beers from Acorn Brewery, Barnsley, Adnams and the new brew from Butcombe Old Vic. Inside is a bit bland but they do have a well kept, attractive garden. Recommended.

First time back in bristol for a couple of months and against my better judgement met some friends in here before heading to Glouster Road. See the arrogant bald manager not dealing with drug users in the toilets, bad service, poorly kept beer, poorly trained staff.
Do not visit.

Painfully slow service, steaks full of gristle.
This could be a fantastic pub, but let down by poor customer service and a smug manager.

Nice beer, good choice and affordable
|
The White Lion pub passage Rd Westbury-on-Trym Bristol,could be a nice pub, but the food is expensive, not very good quality/portions, service slow, and the staff need some training in customer service
|
Busy, tidy but bland megacorp joint. At least they do try for decent beer, albeit in a McSpoons lipservice fashion. Half the pumps often sporting 'coming soon' stickers. Still, when you catch them they're good.

This is one of Mitchells and Butler's Ember Inns branded pubs. It is clean and smartly done up and a safe bet to take anyone to as it will not offend anyone. But it is unlikely to be anybody's "favourite" pub as it is lacking in much distinctive character.

This pub is an absolute joke. We did the pub quiz last night (Sunday 27 May) which was an absolute shambles. The quiz that was set had actually been done by some people in the said pub one week before, and low and behold, one team got 25/25. The second part of the quiz involved general knowledge, such as questions about the top 5 men that one of the barmaids fancies.
I know this might seem like a trivial complaint. But it's the worst pub quiz I've ever done.
The pub itself is OK, but it seems to be run by morons.

Great pub. Some of the staff have had their sense of humours removed. Was in there a few times whilst visiting from Australia.
