Bank in Bristol, City of

Amazing quality food and wine. Super menu, great value for money and lovely atmosphere and service.

Lovely food but the steak (star on the Sunday roast show) was over done. We ordered medium rare and it was more Medium well. Still soft and still delicious but a very expensive meal to not get the order right. Would definitely revisit but would probably mention it to the servers if the meat was as overdone again.

We had an amazing dinner here, arrived slightly before 6 on the Saturday and were able to order the three course set menu. Fantastic mix of dishes, all beautifully presented and nicely balanced. The entrées were a standout for us, the char or the broccoli was just right, and the fried polenta was cooked to perfection. I also highly enjoyed the puns in the cocktail menu, and the Creme De Peche Mode was perfectly refreshing for a hot day. Would absolutely come back and bring friends, lovely food and good atmosphere.

Started was really exceptional, the main was a bit disappointing for the price

Another amazing meal at Bank. The food always delights and the wine selection is always different, sometimes a little unexpected, but always perfect. Atmosphere marked down one star as a little quiet, but it was a lovely sunny Saturday evening, so maybe not surprising!

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Everything was cooked perfectly and the service was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

What not to love? Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing and it was a nice atmosphere. It's one of the best English cuisine restaurants we have been to. Definitely worth booking a table. Highly recommend

Fantastic food, chief is on top of their game, the flavours, consistency of quality throughout made this an extremely enjoyable eating experience, toughly recommend. I only marked the atmosphere down because of the table behind us where a trendy Scottish lads voice was set to 11 and only shut up when food was in his mouth. But that was out of the restrictions control so nothing to do with the venue of facilities

Food and staff amazing, great Sunday roast and not silly price

Fab ambience, friendly staff and delicious food. We had the small plates so we could taste lots of different options. We will definitely visit again.

What a great restaurant! My partner and I went for our anniversary dinner and got the feast menu which was incredible. Good size portions, very well balanced taste and just so delicious! We got the wine flight as well - definitely worth it, they perfectly complimented the food. The server was so lovely and helpful, and she told us about the wine and food she was bringing in a very engaging way. The banana cake was my favourite! Nice atmosphere and service and the restaurant team even wrote us a cute card for our anniversary! Definitely coming back 😊

The food was lovely. Really enjoyed our roast dinner and my potatoes were perfect. The Yorkshire pudding was overcooked and dry in my opinion but didn't ruin the meal. Was let down by the speed of service. My drink took a while to arrive. We also got given the dessert menu and waited 30 mins but noone took out order so we skipped dessert. The staff were working very hard and were so friendly. I honestly felt like there was too much for them and there should have been an extra staff member. The staff are not to blame. Atmosphere was fine just cramped and noisy but not sure how they can be helped.

Friendly service and an absolutely delicious roast and dessert. Look forward to going back again.

We just had a terrific set lunch here. Crazy value for gorgeous food. Our server Sarah was brilliant and helped us make the difficult choice of which additional sharing plates we wanted to add. (The Beef Shin, which was delicious). I think you would have to work very hard to find better cooking at this price in Bristol.

Una joya absoluta de un lugar. Esta es mi segunda vez en Bank y es brillante. La calidad de la cocina, ingredientes y servicio es de primera. Me encanta que no tengan sal y pimienta en la mesa, siempre una señal de que los chefs son lo suficientemente hábiles para sazonar perfectamente. No soy vegetariana, pero me quedé impresionada por el plato de puerro, el plato de brócoli, el plato de Celeriac... En realidad también me preocupa compartir que el tiramisú de cereza ahumada era una porción enorme y ridículamente bueno. Un knockout.

Been here a couple of times now for a Sunday roast and it’s so good. Every part of the meal is a perfect blend of flavours, all hot and freshly cooked.

First visit to Bank. Great late Sunday lunch with friends. Delicious food and excellent service. Will definitely return.

amazing roast, especially a veggie one🤩

I’ve been coming to BANK for over 5 years, and it continues to impress every time. The sophisticated small plates are thoughtfully crafted, the intricate desserts are always smth I look forward to, and the service is consistently warm and attentive. BANK is a true favorite of mine!

Lovely place and service. Unfortunately a bit of a rubbish vegetarian roast... main was celeriac which tasted great but not very filing and dissh lacked a protein source / filling carbs

What an amazing roast! I have not been here for a while, but it’s definitely work booking this in. Everything was amazing, but the roast potatoes are the best I’ve had in Bristol, I will be back.

Great food, wonderful staff and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

Great place..friendly professional staff and great food! Going back again soon , hopefully!

Impressive roast. Definitely a more swanky one! I had the pork belly which was lush, paired with loads of different mixed veg sides. (Beautiful red cabbage)

The Bank is the perfect dining-out experience! Amazing food, atmosphere and service!

This is our second visit to Bank & we loved it just as much as the first. We are always made to feel so welcome by the friendly staff & the food is absolutely incredible! We’ve had sharing plates & individual meals & both are insanely delicious. No exaggeration to say that it’s within our top 10 places to eat ever- can’t wait for their Wapping Wharf venue to open soon!!

Really special evening. Bank does it all right, great service and atmosphere and the food was a delight. Best dessert I've had in a long time too! Hard to beat this place in Bristol

Phenomenal drinks and service, a must visit in Bristol. UPDATE 11/08/22 Went back for drinks and food - wow! Unbelievably delicious small plates - with fantastic drinks and service to match. Quickly becoming my favourite bar in the world.

Great Sunday roast. One of the best in Bristol.

Fue malo desde el principio. Frío, sin WiFi y luego cometí el error de pedir el pulpo - para ser falso, a mi amiga le gustó el plato que pidió. Pero la mía estaba fría, y ninguna broma se vertió en un recipiente lleno de mayonesa. ¿Derramaron un frasco de helmanes? Nunca había visto nada igual, era al menos medio frasco de alioli tirado en el plato como una sopa. Este plato tiene que ser una broma seguramente, es uno de los peores platos construidos que he visto. ¡Y ni siquiera hacía calor! Le habría dicho al camarero, si se hubiera molestado en preguntarnos cómo estaba nuestra comida, pero lamentablemente nadie vino a vernos hasta que se llevaron los platos. Sí, me lo comí todo. Estaba hambriento y demasiado harto y hambriento para empezar. Nunca volverá.

Visited for the Sunday roast, relaxed atmosphere with great food and friendly service. One of the best in Bristol.

Best roast in Bristol! Can’t wait to go back. Pork belly is a must try!

¡El mejor asado de Bristol! El vientre de cerdo era absolutamente delicioso, con las patatas más crujientes, perfectamente cocinado vegetariano que incluía col roja, repollo, puerros, zanahorias. También tenemos la tarta de jengibre pegajosa, omg! Era el cielo. ¡No puedo esperar a volver!

This place is on my doorstep, I have only just discovered it the food was delicious service friendly and welcoming I will have to go back there soon

Great atmosphere, fantastic food and delicious wine pairings. Love this place

We went all in with the FEAST tasting menu, with wine flight. The food was exquisite and atmosphere convivial - perfect for a cold Friday night in January!

First time visiting for a Sunday roast and everything was brilliant! The atmosphere is lovely, the service was great (the birthday card on our table was such a lovely extra) and the food was delicious. Can't wait to return!

Some of the best food in Bristol.

Mi hija y be/f viven en Bristol y este es su último favorito para el almuerzo del domingo. Tenía hombro de cordero que se servía con harissa verde, siendo anticuado hubiera preferido salsa de menta, simplemente se sentía mal para un asado. Mi marido compartió el solomillo (por 2 ) que era bueno. Mucha verdura, pero el combo de repollo y puerro me pareció insípido, el repollo rojo luke caliente y el queso de coliflor extra ahumado poco cocinado y parecía como si se hubiera dejado reposar durante un tiempo. Este es un animado restaurante ocupado que es ideal para los más pequeños, parecía lleno de bebés en sillas altas! Caro también...

One of the best Sunday roasts I've ever had. We had the beef sharing roast and it was fantastic. Thank you.

Nice relaxed Sunday lunch. Minor negative from the vegetarians in our party was only one real choice for the roast. If you didn't like celeriac... My lamb however was lovely 😉

An absolute cracking roast dinner. I had the lamb and the wife had the belly pork, both meats so tender and delicious. Side bowls of vegetables and garlic crispy roast potatoes. Then we had deserts and oh my so so good. The crème brûlée with smokey crispy cornflakes was so devine. The cherry crumble with amaretto ice cream was also so good. But the crème brûlée stole the show all meals washed down with a mulled cider. The service was impeccable and very friendly, made to feel so welcome. Will definitely be returning.

Una cena de asado absolutamente crujiente. Yo tenía el cordero y la esposa tenía el panza de cerdo, ambas carnes tan tiernas y deliciosas. Cuencos de verduras y patatas asadas crujientes al ajo. Luego tuvimos desiertos y oh mi tan bueno. La crema brûlée con copos de maíz crujientes y ahumados era tan deliciosa. El crumble de cereza con helado de amaretto también fue tan bueno. Pero la creme brûlée robó el espectáculo todas las comidas lavadas con una sidra caliente. El servicio fue impecable y muy amable, hecho para sentirse tan bienvenido. Definitivamente regresaré.

Recently visited for a roast dinner, the food was fantastic! We went for the sharing beef which was amazing, so tender. It’s only a small restaurant so the atmosphere is really nice too.

Festive lunch with family, really nice roast lamb, enjoyed by all, great service and chilled atmosphere..

Had a amazing 'Feast' dinner with matched wine pairing. Highly recommend for a special night splurge. Excellent service and atmosphere.

Excellent Christmas brunch, tasty and well thought through. Only downside is the restaurant welcomes dogs and we had 2 adjacent to our table. One barked unexpectedly and the other needed a bath! Restaurant’s perogative of course but if you are not a dog person then there are tons other great places to eat. We probably won’t go back.

Lovely pre Christmas lunch, set menu is great value.

We had a lovely time! The food was excellent, service super friendly, ambience great.

Bank is a complete gem - the food is exquisite. Really it should have a waiting list till 2026!

Really enjoyable experience on every level - would highly recommend

We loved eating at BANK. They offer a seasonal menu with unique flavours. A must try!

The Sunday roast dinner was the best we have had in a restaurant, I don't usually find the vegetables apertising but these were prepared and flavoured beautifully. The whole meal was amazing, I shared the Butter Chicken platter for two with my husband.

The best roast beef we've ever eaten. Delicious vegetables to go with it. Exceptional puddings, poached pear was fantastic. Amazing food, we'll go back anytime.

If you’re looking to eat anywhere in Bristol, Bank has to be top of your list! Everything is amazing

Lovely food. Everything we had was cooked to perfection. Notable dishes were the Beef Shin Nugget and the Lardo starter. Also we'd never had cooked olives before and they were a revelation. Great service too. Thank you!

Great as always, can't wait to go back!

Great spot specializing in open-fire cooking. Lots of different food and menu (set vs. a la carte) options to choose from with a variety of flavors suiting all palates. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable concerning both the food and the beverage pairings. The different levels of wine pairing is a nice touch as well. All of this paired with an inviting an unpretentious atmosphere make for a great experience.

Had high expectations but unfortunately wasn't as good as I was hoping. Portions of meat with the roast were a bit small, Yorkshire puddings a bit dry and my partner was given a more or less inedible piece of chewy crackling (she did get given some more which was a bit better). That said, some bits were really nice and Guinness pannacotta pretty interesting and probably best thing we had.

What a banger. Top notch roast. Service was fire. I wanna shake my belly like a bowl full of jelly.

Great little place! Went here on Friday afternoon as a couple so not too busy but enough people in there for some atmosphere. Food was amazing, didnt know what we wanted but a very informative breakdown of the menu was given and we went for 6 small sharing plates. With pudding on top, left quite full and very happy. Couldnt find any faults at all and we look forward to returning. The whole ethos of the place is sharing so all dishes (apart from pudding) came out on 1 plate, a great item. This place is getting attention and deserves more.

Excellent as always. First time we've been for a roast and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food, wine and atmosphere - we literally had a feast! We will definitely be returning soon ❤️🥩

Great Breakfast and a fantastic lunch

I’m fortunate to have such a wonderful place on my doorstep but if I didn’t I’d still travel to visit! One of Bristol’s absolute gems - you’ve got to visit at least once and if you do then you’ll definitely be back…!

Dinner at BANK is about surprising, inventive and seasonal food. Don’t worry about what to order as each dish is a little work of art with flavour combinations you won’t have had anywhere else. Despite this, BANK is not a pretentious ‘vibe’ restaurant lost up its own arse; it is relaxed and welcoming without being in your face. I’m normally a small plates skeptic, but I never leave disappointed here. Even my 80yo folks are fans. Deserves to be packed out all the time.

Went for dinner on Friday. Seriously impressed. Amazingly food, classy drinks, lovely space, very pleasant staff. Beautiful balance to the plates - intriguing flavour and texture combinations that really work and excite, all with a touch of fire about it. Satisfies the inner primeval (wo)man, but highly modern. At the moment plenty of availability too - go whilst you can!

Ate here on a Friday night, was amazed there were any empty tables (there weren't may tbf). Superb food, blew us away. A lovely venue which deserves to be celebrated

Mi esposa y yo vinimos a tomar una copa rápida y el servicio y el ambiente eran geniales. El menú de comida parece interesante, así que volveremos para explorar más a fondo!

Bank is the best restaurant in Bristol.

Lovely meal. Roast potatoes to die for

We finally tried Bank for a Sunday roast after a lot of nudges from a friend, and it was amazing! I’ve had my fair share of roasts in Bristol, and I can honestly say this one was my absolute favourite. The best roast in Bristol IMO. The cauliflower cheese was unreal! I’m also a huge fan of Bloody Marys, the one I had at Bank was also my favourite! What a day!! The guy who looked after us was brilliant, and we can’t wait to come back again!

Amazing food!!! Really something special and different. Cocktails were really really good as well. I'll be back!

Dropped into Bank for a Roast and it didn't disappoint, the food was great, the staff were attentive and the background soundtrack was on point. Can't really fault it.

We’ve been to Bank on a number of occasions since opening and it’s always been good for cocktails and food. The times we had gone before, arguably some of the dishes could be deemed ‘experimental’ however still very good. We went Saturday (31st Aug) and the food was incredible! They’ve now nailed innovative dishes with balanced flavours and textures. I’m not surprised with the UK top 100 award it’s an awesome place!

Enjoyed an amazing dinner from the veggie feasting menu with tasty cocktails and a lovely atmosphere. Will be back for certain.

Excellent service, delicious cocktails and a menu to die for. I've been here many times with family and friends for breakfast, lunch and most recently a Sunday roast and it never fails to deliver!

Great food, Sunday roast is particularly strong. Friendly and efficient service, good selection of drinks and fun cocktails. Thoroughly recommend.

Food to rival the best in Bristol. Highly recommend. Food cooked over fire that you can actually taste. Well thought out dishes. Really busy too, nice atmosphere. Lovely staff. We will be back :)

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was delivered hot and was very good.

Really nice place, the service was excellent and the food is great as it gives you the opportunity to try things in combination that maybe you wouldn't normally. It is a little pricey and not totally sure the price is reflective of what you get but I would definitely recommend it.

Really creative food with laid back but efficient service.

The team at BANK were fantastic, and the food was incredible. We had some complex dietary needs (gluten allergy / halal / alcohol free) and they were so accommodating, chatted us through everything. The food was 10/10. Couldn’t recommend more.

Amazingly delicate pork that holds it own with a lovely gravy and veggie side dishes

Every plate was outstanding! We'll definitely be back, thank you! My only small complaint would be that it was quite loud in the restaurant when it got busy - maybe hang some of those sounddulling "clouds" from the ceiling to sort out the acoustics?

BANK is our go-to Sunday roast restaurant. After embarking on the quest to find the best Sunday roast in Bristol, we stumbled across BANK and haven't looked back since. They do their dishes incredibly well, making sure everything is cooked to perfection whilst also adding twists and flairs that make it more exciting for a foodie than the general Sunday roast fare. In particular, their vegetables (which normally can be a bit sad in a Sunday roast) are great company to the main hero of the meal. The sharing roasts are an absolute treat, and my favourite roast to date was a roast lamb they did a while ago which also came with, what I can only describe as, a breaded and fried rolled stick of lamb deliciousness. The team at BANK are always super friendly and the restaurant has a spacious and easy going vibe. Would recommend booking ahead as well as booking for towards start of service as it tends to guarantee perfect roast potatoes. Their dinner menu is great too, but the Sunday roast is what keeps us going back.

Best Sunday roast I ever had! A bit pricey but absolutely worth it. Meat incredibly well cooked and banging Jalapeño bloody marys. The only downside is that it was a bit stuffy and noisy, as we had a 10 people table sat next to us, which made us not being able to hear each other. Anyway, I will be back to try the chicken roast. Thank you for a great experience:)

Hands down the best roast I've ever had in more than 5 years, absolutely amazing. Service and food was 10/10, even coffe and cocktails, just perfect. Jalapeño bloody mary is just the best. Sadly we got a 10 noisy people table next to us but nothing to do with the place. Definetely I would recomend it, and I will be back.

Amazing roast pork, and the cauliflower cheese was incredible. I would also really recommend the deserts, so many unusual but delicious flavours, best pannacotta I’ve ever had!

Just had another exemplary meal and evening at Bank. Love this restaurant. Seriously good food. Delicious wine. Top drawer coffee, topped off by excellent service. Favourite restaurant in Bristol bar far. Coming back very soon!!! Friday in fact 😁

Usual incredibly awesome food with Westcombe and Wildings pairing event last night.

Sabores excepcionales que la comida estaba fuera de este mundo. El menú cambia regularmente y hay una serie de eventos gastronómicos especiales que se agotan rápidamente ofreciendo comida de todo el mundo. El ambiente es vibrante y el personal conocedor del menú y los vinos. Bank ofrece muchas opciones veganas/vegetarianas y sin gluten. Esto se ha convertido en un lugar para ir a un precio razonable para los productos de origen local de alta calidad que se sirven. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita. Y una ventaja que los perros también son bienvenidos.

One of the best Sunday roasts me and my partner have ever had. As a vegetarian, roasts are often dry and tasteless, BANK’s veggie roast is nothing like this. The veg is crunchy and flavoursome, and the main celeriac is gorgeous. The best part of the entire meal is undoubtedly the gravy, full of salty goodness and texture. It is expensive, and small portions, but I was very full and I believe worth the cost.

Pleasant restaurant in Totterdown. I've heard some good things about this roast so naturally wanted to give it a try. Firstly, staff were really attentive and welcoming. The menu allows for sharing platters as well as individual meals. I went for the pork belly, it was tasty and the garlic taste really complimented the pork belly. However the pork belly itself wasn't tender enough and the portion was quite small. The pork crackling was too tough . The rest of the roast was perfect. Yorkie pud wasnt too crispy . Roast potatoes were seasoned well and again the garlic taste was a welcomed edition. Gravy was very tasty, cabbage, sweet potato puree really added to the dish and again tasted brilliantly. Special mention of the week goes to the cauliflower cheese . The smoked red Leicester was so tasty. The one of the best I've had in Bristol

Amazing Sunday roast - the sharing steak was perfect! Amazing vegetables and my Dad really enjoyed the vegetarian option.

La comida era absolutamente increíble y el mejor asado que he tenido! Cada parte de la comida, desde las patatas crujientes hermosamente cocinadas y la coliflor y salsa de queso ahumado a la boca - regando cordero y harissa verde, no podría culpar! Sin duda volveremos por más! 😁😁

Una vez más fabulosa comida en Bank. Comida de alta gama tipo estrella Michelin que es un corte por encima del resto. Delicioso y excelente servicio

Sharing beef roast was the smallest Sunday roast I ever had. Meat was delicious but there wasn’t much of it. What is more, vegetable portion was definitely only for one person. Absolutely not worth the money, both of us left feeling half hungry.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at BANK and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed and served by Sarah, whose attentive and friendly service added to the evening's enjoyment. The food was exceptional, beginning with the Grilled Nocellara olives, which offered a unique and delightful twist on traditional olives and came in a generous portion. The smoked nuts were the perfect complement to our wine selection, adding a smoky depth that paired beautifully. One of the highlights was the burnt grape salad with Cornish octopus—an absolute divine combination of flavors and textures. The Sourdough focaccia was another standout, being both light and incredibly moreish. The wine selection was superb, and the Love O Love wine we chose was amazing, perfectly enhancing our meal. However, the true star of the evening was the Sirloin with Rendang. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the rich, flavorful Rendang sauce elevated it to new heights. The ambience at BANK was equally impressive, providing a perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Every aspect of our visit, from the food to the service to the atmosphere, was perfect. I highly recommend BANK for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Bristol. We will definitely be returning!

I came here with a couple of friends for one of my birthday meals and myself and my friends loved it! They've got a mostly gluten-free menu, and honestly, every small plate we tried was a hit—no misses! We ordered all the small plates and I recommend doing the same. The vibe there is super relaxed but still feels special, perfect for dinner night out. The drinks were spot on, we tried a mix of cocktails and wine and it meant being the last ones to leave! Even though I'm all about trying new spots, I'm already planning to go back to BANK soon to check out their larger plates. Highly recommend it if you're in Bristol and looking for a great place to eat and hang out!
