| Great pub. I'm a beer drinker myself, but when in Rome.... Great range of lovely ciders. I'm sure you can get them cheaper down the road at The Orchard, but the prices are by no means extortionate - £2.50 for a pint of Thatchers Dry - lovely job. and worth every penny for the location when it's sunny. Bit cramped downstairs when it's not, but all seems ok after after a few pints of Thatchers. :-) Moog - 11 Oct 2008 20:59 |
| Excellant place - but haven't been there for months. I would advise that you check the opening times though because the last time I went there to meet a friend in the afternoon it was closed and not due to open until 5pm. (This was about 5 months ago.) But I checked their website today and it says they open at 12pm! mattbeer - 26 Sep 2008 18:53 |
| Nice place, nice location, great drinks. So what's wrong with it then? Rip-off pricings is what! Better part of £3 a pint for most ciders when you can simply pop around the corner to the far superior Orchard and pay £1.85/£2 for exactly the same pint of Thatchers/Hecks/Richs etc, etc. Food? I ordered a pie, a little pie at that only then to be told that each addition to said little pie would be a further £1. So yes would I like peas? £1 please. Gravy sir? £1 please. Mash sir? £1 please .... and so on. So a little plate of average pie, mash, gravy and peas being the better part of a tenner for a lunchtime's snack - Are they having a laugh or what? Forget trendy places like this there are far better cider outlets in the area with far more *real* character (Orchard - Hannover sq, Blue Flame - Nailsea) and people in attendance and where they don't take the mick over pricings and you won't need to take out a mortgage simply to pay for dinner and a pint!

| It's ok. The bar is far too small, they should have stretched it along one of the walls rather than cramping it up in the corner. Lovely ciders, good variety, and plenty of room upstairs and in the area outside. Really going to come into its own in the summer. I also saw the band Kosheen drinking here, not sure if that's a good thing! thelimopit - 6 Jun 2007 12:22 |
| Innovative. Very innovative. A model of how to breath life into the pub 'concept' without forgetting that conviviality and atmosphere are what really matters. And the drinks? An ever-changing array of fantastic ciders. The most original pub I have visited in some time. Bristol already had the most diverse selection of great pubs and now it has another.
