Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

The present owners of The George have developed the facilities over the past 3 or 4 years. It's still very village pubby when you walk in with 3 or 4 cask ales as well as farm cider and a small but very good selection of moderately priced wines. There is a good selection of very good food to eat in the bar or restaurant where there is usually an exhibition of paintings or photographs by local artists, which are also for sale. Much of the food, especially the meat and fish, is locally sourced and is cooked and presented with flair at reasonable prices. Monthly (last Thursdays) curry evenings are popular and the choice good (buffet style) and presented wine testing? regularly organised. Very friendly, excellent food and drink and well worth a visit.

Blostins is a well-loved institution in Shepton Mallet of many years' standing. The staff are always very welcoming from the moment you step inside from the pavement into the small bar where you choose from blackboard menus which change little over time. There's ?a carte, pay by the number of courses, or mix and match from both. Good local food, skilfully prepared and served, with an excellent and changing wine list, moderately priced. There are regular devotees from the local area.

Have to agree with previous comments. Went along for a 'Sunday lunch' and was totally impressed with the quality of the food and level of service. Will have to go back to try their proper Greek food. The Kleftico (my roast lamb) was excellent indeed.

First visit to Bells, which we thoroughly enjoyed, the food & service was outstanding, we were staying in Bristol for a couple of nights and choose the restaurant after reading previous reviews. We would thoroughly recommend it.

great fresh food, the mussels turned up just as i arrived. very friendly service. would recommend to anyone.

The food is really nice with small romantic tables and good price, but the manager is a bit moody at times and it can be very difficult to book!

After having Christmas dinner at the huntsman we have returned several times since a carvery for 3.99 in the week what a bargain lovely staff and a great atmosphere I? sure we will return time and time again

FAULTLESS, FRIENDLY SERVICE, ALONG WITH GREAT FOOD. PRICE TRULY UNDER VALUED. 5*

Absolutely delicious food! The Manager kindly organised a menu for a 40th party for 30 people. The food was fantastic, the service great (even though they had to put up with 7 young children running around!) and extremely good value! I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

this is a great little cafe hidden in the centre of bath, it offers good music, cosy atmosphere with a hint of eastern decor. Has a great outdoor seating area for those hot summer days to relax with a glass of wine with your lunch or just coffee and a newspaper!

Very poor and slow service. But you get what you pay for!

Lovely food, a good range of dishes from mild to really spicy.

They do a wonderful Sunday Lunch, but get there early as it gets busy.

The old harbour house restaurant was a pleasant and charming place in a idyllic location. The food was of an outstanding quality yet still at a modest price. The decor in the main dining rooms were exquisite which added to the overall feel to the restaurant.

Really lovely carvery with lots of choice good value for money.

It is a shame there are so few reviews for this place as it is the best meal out I've had for quite some time. The restaurant itself is perfect for couples, lots of candles, low lighting and comfortable seating - not 'canteen' style like so many Bristol restaurants these days. The kitchen is on view, which is very appealing if you wonder about hygiene and general goings-on in kitchens like I do! No Gordon Ramsey style swearing here, infact you can hardly hear them at all. The food was just delicious, I could not fault it at all. Beautifully presented and quite healthy portions too. I don't consider it pricey, between 5.00 - 7.00 for starters and 12.00 - 16.00 for mains is about the going rate these days, but in the Firehouse it really is worth every penny. Equally, the drinks are not over-priced as in many restaurants. Drinks from the bar were normal bar prices, and the wine list is very reasonable - we had a Chilean Merlot at 13.50 which was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the chefs give you a nod and a wave when you enter and leave. All in all, we had a fantastic night and will definitely be going back soon! Be advised though, it is now non-smoking throughout (the website says smoking is allowed at the bar, but this is no longer the case).

i really enjoyed the food and the politeness of the staff thanks

Food was very fresh and the whole meal excellent
