This pub, right on the river with quayside seating—a chunk of Bristol's drunken maritime history with a view of the river and the docks, which hasn't been messed with or gentrified. The saltiness and earthiness of its customers only add to the theme! Pub purists (i.e. those who think "eating's cheating"), may be slightly alarmed to know that this staunch 19th century nautical boozer has now relented to the demands of the 21st century clientele and is now serving up pub food. Sunday lunches are popular—a choice of three roasts and a vegetarian option. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Calling all you couch potatoes - this is a spot to lounge about and take things easy. Adding to the de-stressing process is a cheerful ambiance, mood music, an open-air terrace that seats 40 and food of course! Start off with the soup of the day, or, if you prefer to be posh, a few olives with a mix of veggies. For some heady, new-world cuisine, try out the Kangaroo served with a whiskey, red wine and a cream sauce. If that's not in your league, the Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Mint Cous Cous, the self-explanatory Fish Medley, or the Chicken Chasseur should keep your taste buds happy. Most dishes come with a generous helping of extra veggies, green salad and potatoes on the side. For dessert, indulge in the Traditional Danish Rice Almond, alongside hot cherries in thick syrup. A strong coffee, with a couple of secret spirits, should wind up the whole deal. The restaurant also hosts several private events, which involve some delightful live music. Review © 2007, Wcities |
