| I've been here a few times and have enjoyed it every time. I went here for Christmas dinner with some friends and the food was great, the staff were very helpful and the Mulled cider was delicious. It is a bit pricey, but not exactly extortionate when you compare it to other pubs in Bristol. I look forward to going here more often. MagicShoebox - 14 Jan 2013 17:55 |

| More of a late night bar than a pub, not one you would go to for a quiet beer. Has lefe on tap though!! Expensive though. Nice beer garden out the back, not one I would race back to, but would be ok for a big night, can't imagine their are many locals in there. Mikepcshaw - 9 Jan 2011 14:36 |
| Popular pub situated in the middle of North Street, slightly away from the trendy end with all the rest of the bars. Recently refurbished and painted throughout in battleship grey, it sounds quite depressing but works well. It a wide open space with a central bar area, and a small raised section off to the left. A real fire, and plenty of candles around the place as well. The large candelabra with wax dribbled all over it in the fireplace was an interesting feature. There�s a decent sized beer garden out the back, and a couple of BBQ�s. Good mix of clientele, with groups of guys stood at the bar, several couples dining and even a few people on their own reading the papers or surfing. This feels like a proper community pub. There�s a fairly extensive menu tending slightly more towards the gastro pub side of things than your regular �pub grub� menu, although there was a decent selection of pies. Quite reasonably priced, although the portions could have been more generous. Beers on tap were Bath Ales, Gem, Wickwar BOB and Butcombe Gold. Ciders were Addlestones and Thatcher�s Gold.

| Another refurbished Bedminster / Southville boozer catering to the 'locals' who moved here after realising they couldn't afford to live in Clifton and therefore helped to inflate the house prices in the area by ooh about 6000% since 1993. Not dissimilar in character to the Hen and Chicken down the road. 3 ales including Butcombe Gold and Gem, and Gem in excellent nick. Less kids than were in other pubs, the place quite tastefully done out with a wood burner adding a pleasant touch. Also the garden looked nice but it was chucking it down so couldn't investigate further. Dandillus - 8 Mar 2009 21:45 |
