BOX-E in Bristol, City of

Incredible food at a great price with very friendly and helpful staff. Will be back!

Delicious food and drinks. Would skip on the pana cotta, but I highly reccommend the duck or plaice they were amazing!

A lovely evening at Box E! Each dish of the tasting course was well balanced and flavoursome, the local ingredients really sang through! Would definitely recommend for a special occasion. Service was smooth and very friendly. Absolutely divine wine selection also. The only thing I would say, I stated in my email that it was going to be my birthday the night we were dining, and as a restaurant of this standing, I did expect them to do something to acknowledge that, maybe a candle or gesture at the end of the meal. But regardless it was still a wonderful night!

I am Box-e fan since they first opened (over 8 yrs ago!). Food is great, we went for tasting menu and there wasn’t a single dish we didn’t enjoy. And panna cotta.. is the best one I have ever had. There are many fine dining restaurants I have visited in Bristol, but Box-E is a true gem!

Amazing!!! Second visit and had the taster menu with wine pairing each time. Service just as good as the food and excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Bristol. We always go for the tasting menu and wine flight and it's always such a treat. The food is absolutely amazing and we love the backstory the staff provides for each dish and wine pairing. A very special place

Worth every penny. Will recommend. Will come back ❤️

We have been here every year for the past 5 and every time the food is just incredible, it cannot be faulted!

Amazing food and place and for once, not pricey Will definitely come back

An outstanding experience unlike no other! It was just perfect with great service and mind blowing food and wine pairings! 11/10... Just left me speechless!

Absolutely delicious meal! We went for the tasting menu and were so pleased we did! Every course was fantastic and brought new flavours, it was also incredible value for money for the quality and quantity! The atmosphere was relaxed but upbeat and the service was faultless. Wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Enjoyed the taster menu and wine flights, all the staff were super friendly and were passionate when talking about the food anddwines

Had the tasting menu and accompanying wine flight. It was all delicious and everyone was so warm and charming which made for a really fun evening. The Panna Cotta was to die for! Thanks guys!

He estado aquí antes, y no podía esperar a volver. No fue decepcionado, fantástico servicio y comida de nuevo. El menú degustación fue brillante. Normalmente no me preocupa el postre, pero la caca Panna era celestial. Estoy deseando volver ya. Gracias.

Comida increíble y un chico que lo hace todo! Fui aquí por el cumpleaños de mi pareja y atendieron a las necesidades dietéticas tan bien. Eran tan amables y increíblemente eficientes, ya que había una persona sirviendo y otra haciendo la cocina. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Had a wonderful lunch at Box-E. We had the taster menu with a number of delicious courses. It was a great eating experience.

Una deliciosa cena en la Caja E la semana pasada - comida interesante, pero no quisquilloso o pomposo. Gran ambiente (nos sentamos fuera) - el servicio y el personal eran brillantes. El curso de queso fue posiblemente el mejor curso de queso que he tenido - un queso delicioso simple (nombre desconocido para mí) , el mejor chutney de manzana de siempre (gracias Elliot por NO añadir cebolla al chutney - la mayoría de los chefs lo hacen y no tengo idea de por qué hacen esto como la cebolla es demasiado fuerte para un queso delicado) y las galletas de apio más increíbles. ¡Gracias también por la vela de cumpleaños en mi pudín de arroz refrigerado! ¡Una forma encantadora de celebrar un cumpleaños 53! : )

Comida excepcional, imaginativa sin pretensiones, llena de sabores frescos y excelentemente cocinada. El menú degustador de 7 platos por 55 libras es realmente buena relación calidad-precio para lo que obtiene. Muy agradable ambiente casual y relajado, gran servicio. Hay algunos restaurantes de alta cocina algo sobrevalorados en Bristol. Este no es uno de ellos.

Me and my friend had an amazing time at this lovely restaurant! She had the taster menu which had so much variety and I had the fish which was 10/10.. the staff were lovely and friendly.. was great value for money also!

Went for a special birthday. Sat outside and had the set menu. Every course was a burst of joy. The team were delightful. Would go as often as I could if we lived nearer!

Uno de los restaurantes establecidos desde hace más tiempo en el popular desarrollo de Wapping Wharf, que ha estado aquí durante varios años y tiene un galardón Michelin orgullosamente exhibido fuera para cada año desde 2018. Hay una cantidad mínima de asientos en el interior y más allá de los asientos cubiertos en el exterior que aprovechamos, ya que en realidad era bastante suave y seco por una vez. Nuestra camarera era amable y servicial, y sin duda estábamos satisfechos con el vino que nos sugirió, un Gavi de Piamonte. Optamos por el menú degustación de siete platos que debe reservar con antelación, y inusualmente no está escrito. Agradezco que con los menús degustación no tengas elección, pero siempre los he tenido impresos antes, así que puedes ver lo que vas a obtener, pero aquí simplemente aparece y se describe como se sirve. Dicho esto, al mirar el menú a la carta cuando llegué a casa, todos estaban listados allí, así que quizás el chef simplemente sirve lo que cree que va a tener un excedente en la noche. Todo lo que tuvimos fue realmente muy bueno, con los aspectos más destacados quizás sean la trucha ahumada con remolacha dorada, suero de mantequilla y rábano picante o la merluza con patatas nuevas machacadas de Cornualles, mantequilla de eneldo, limón en conserva y lechuga gema. Dicho esto, era difícil elegir entre ellos, todos eran de un nivel muy alto. En realidad no parecen tener sabores atrevidos y llamativos aquí, se trata más bien de usar ingredientes de primera calidad y dejar que hablen por sí mismos, pero ciertamente no hubo nada que decepcionara. Tratar de pagar fue una pesadilla absoluta, parece que no tienen wi - fi en el restaurante y en su lugar tratan de saltar a la red de otra persona abajo. Hubo continuos problemas de conexión, y debe habernos tomado de 15 a 20 minutos para que eventualmente pasara. Muy a menudo tendremos prisa por salir del restaurante para tomar un autobús, aunque afortunadamente no fue así esta vez. Realmente necesitan resolver esto, sin embargo, debe ser tan frustrante para la camarera como los clientes. En general, sin embargo, a pesar de ese hipo, una comida muy agradable y muy recomendable.

Location was nice, good space between tables, heater and blankets for the outside. Service was impeccable in everything. Food was good, some dishes really good, I do like some “stronger” tastes but is a personal thing. I done the 5 courses unwritten degustation menu. Really enjoyed the first course (the tomatoes were amazing with the onglet), and last the lamb with beans. I give 4 stars instead of 5 because I think generally the portions were a bit small, in couple of occasions (marmalade with the cheese or the orange in the dessert) the portion was really tiny.

We had the 7 course tasting menu, just sublime and good value at £55. Every course was explained in detail when served. Excellent food, attentive knowledgeable staff.

We went for a Friday lunch. Faultless service food and wine. Will be sure to go back soon. Thanks to Tessa for efficient emails and booking.

Box-e is one of the best restaurants in Bristol. It has been our favorite restaurant for a few years now and it never dissapoints! High quality local produce always cooked to perfection, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Value for money is on point too, would recommend to everybody!

Being rated highly on TripA meant we ended up at this restaurant. Yes it’s based in a container, but this gives it in reality a real buzz. Then……the chef and his food- asparagus starters, hake ( wonderful), and the desserts, rice pudding, panacotta with black treacle and caramelised banana all exceptional. Wonderful evening aided by friendly, capable staff, Chris and Stephanie.

Forgot to review from couple months ago! I think you need a 4.5 rating here - the food is good quality and cooked well , had a couple of the tasting menu items a little lacklustre! However the fish courses were amazing. The servers were very attentive and recommended some lovely wines! We sat in the outside area and were very impressed with the surroundings. And lay out of the terrace area! Would return!!

Highly recommend this to everyone. We went for the 7 course taster and wine flight options. All courses were delicious and enjoyable. Quality food, that left you wanting more. Such skill in cooking and sublime presentation. Glad we did this for a 50th Birthday celebration but not waiting that long to go back. Just truly something to be experienced!

We had a phenomenal meal at Box-E yesterday. We were celebrating my birthday so chose the tasting menu and wine flight. All courses were absolutely delicious, but particular standouts for me were the hake and the chocolate mousse. The service was exceptional - among best we've ever had!

Amazing food and service. We had the tasting menu, definitely worth a Michelin star.

Amazing food really enjoyed the whole experience if you find yourself in Bristol it’s definitely hugely recommended.

We went to Bristol to visit this lovely restaurant for lunch in middle of March. The chef overheard us saying it was my birthday and improvised with a candle in my dessert, (a very nice thing to do). We had the golden beetroot with smoked trout for starters, a very nice dish. I always go for fish for my main dish and so we choose the Hake with crushed Jersey Royals, monk's beard and preserved lemons which was perfectly cooked and very well thought out flavour combinations. We rounded off the meal with chilled cinnamon rice pudding, Griottines cherries and crumble and my partner had the vanilla pannacotta, Yorkshire forced rhubarb and stem ginger. We've been here before and and will come back again for the amazing food and service. Truly a gem of a restaurant.

Came for the 7 course tasting menu and it was super delicious! Very well priced for such lovely food and drink. The scenery was so quaint and dreamy aswell

A beautiful evening celebrating my birthday. The team were warm and accommodating and the food was perfect!

Delicious food in a cosy friendly atmosphere - the warmth and care of the staff to us and the beautifully prepared variety of wonderful tasting courses made this a special treat and I felt it was very good value .

Complimenti a Tess and Elliott che gestiscono questo ristorante dove di mangia proprio bene. Ubicazione singolare, in un paio di container navali ora adibiti - assieme ad altri esercizi - a ristorazione lungo il Whapping Wharf, la zona turistico/industriale dei vecchi cantieri. Si puo' cenare in terrazza, ma anche all'interno del locale dove si ritaglia un piccolo spazio. La nostra scelta: Zuppa di porri e patate con capesante di Brixham e tartufo nero: una delizia. Nasello, patate Jersey Royals, barba dei frati, limone e basilico: eccezionale qualita' degli ingredienti. Pannacotta alla vaniglia, rabarbaro dello Yorkshire, biscotti sbriciolati al ginger, eccellente dessert per chiudere la cena. Fra le possibilita' a calice, abbiamo scelto un ottimo Riesling della Mosella. Tuttomulto bene, da applausi anche per il rapporto prezzo qualita' .

Box-E ticked all the boxes for creativity, flavour, freshness, ingredients and friendliness. A restaurant that properly caters for Gluten Free customers without compromise. Highly recommended

We visited Box E on a cold March evening. We were totally aware that the restaurant is in an old shipping container - a couple a gusts of cold air blew in but that was to be expected and it didn’t affect our experience whatsoever. We opted for the tasting menu with the wine pairing. We enjoyed every single course - each dish was full of flavour. The wines were perfectly paired. The staff were very nice and we will definitely return. It’s a quirky place but that’s the whole point!

Amazing food and service. It was incredibly rainy and cold on the day we visited but the staff ensured that we had heaters and a patio heater to ensure we were comfortable. Food was incredible and would definitely return!!!!! The wine selection was exceptional and we had a lovely meal.

Delicious place to eat for a romantic date or with friends (not recommended with small children) in my opinion. I liked their fish options. Nicely cooked and full of flavours!

This was a wonderful meal and experience. We had booked a table in the outside undercover area. Prior to our visit I was concerned about being cold, however it was toasty and warm due to the heaters..and really a lovely experience to be on the balcony area. The service was second to none…perfect timing and just the right amount of attention. Our food was delicious. We ordered a 3 course a la carte selection; each of the dishes were well balanced, FULL of flavour, and beautifully presented. I can thoroughly recommend the Charred hispi cabbage, smoked trout, lemon butter… flavour bomb!! The hake and lamb dishes were delicious, and although I had the chocolate mousse with passion fruit (which was chocolate heaven), my partner had the Chilled cinnamon rice pudding, Griottines cherries, crumble… this was out of this world! We drank a bottle of Riesling Devon-Schiefer 2021 by Meulenhof, Mosel .. this was. A great recommendation by Tessa. Great food, superb prices, lovely atmosphere… can’t wait to go back and try the tasting menu. Highly recommended

It's a nice restaurant, however we had the tasting menu and we were very underwhelmed. Started off really well with lovely velevety soup but unfortunately downhill with no dishes that really stood out or flavours that really wow'd us. One of the courses was a single piece of cheese, which when you go to these places, you'd expect a bit more if its a tasting menu.

“Underwhelming and disappointing” My thoughts are exactly the same as a recent review entitled the same. Although we didn’t have the vegetarian tasting menu, but both had the meat/fish version with the wine pairing. The staff really need to “warm up” a little and be less robotic and more chatty & interactive. We were so excited to dine at Box E as a belated Christmas gift, however sadly we won’t be returning…it was a very “average” meal.

Outstanding restaurant. We had the tasting menu and wine flight which was fantastic - great quality tasty food and lovely service. You have got to try this spot!

Excellent service, and tasting menu was great. Pace was good, drinks were nice, brilliant atmosphere and music was perfect.

Absolutely fantastic venue. Tasting menu and wine flight was absolutely faultless. Food was awesome and staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable

This was supposed to be a birthday treat & I was so looking forward to it after we hadn't been able to get a table the last time we came to Bristol. However we were very disappointed. To be fair, the food was all OK. Nothing was bad as such or we'd have sent it back. But none of it was very special or stood out at all either. It had to be the blandest tasting menu I've ever had. It also didn't help that several of the courses were quite textureless too so it all just seemed a bit dull. The food looked OK on the plate but again nothing with that wow factor. I also have to say that as a vegetarian, mine was particularly disappointing. In this day & age there's no excuse for serving bland & boring vegetarian food. A lot of my dishes were just variations of a piece of vegetable on a plate. Very little thought as to balanced meals & adding some protein for sustenance. There was also an overuse of a lot of sour elements across several of the courses (a bit of overuse of balsamic drizzle didn't help) which just left us with indegestion & overpowered any other flavours. The first soup course actually would have been quite nice if it had texture added, eg some crispy cauliflower, fried onions or even a piece of bread as the flavour was good but it had just been pureed to high hell. There was a roasted squash course with some toasted pumpkin seeds which was actually quite pleasant. But the rest just blurred into one. My husband also said the meat dishes were nothing stand out either & the quality of the cuts was a bit tough in places. Added to this the service just felt wooden with no sense of a personal touch. My husband had actually mentioned that it was my birthday when booking but there was no acknowledgement of that. After each course we were asked how the food was & my luke warm reaction to it all (along the lines of 'it was ok') must have been obvious but they carried on the same each time regardless. I don't think it would have mattered what I said. There was no warmth or attempt to engage us & it felt like they were back & forth just saying the exact same thing to every customer. When one customer asked to keep the door open they just did so too without checking with the poor people sat next to & opposite the door who had been looking uncomfortable each time it open & closed all night as it was freezing outside. We were lucky to have a cozy spot in the corner but still got the occasional gust & our ears popping each time someone moved through the door. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to add a bit of ventilation to the container to reduce some of these issues. Towards the end I also ordered a coffee to try & perk myself up a bit from my state of underwhelm. Even that was dull as dishwater; I might as well have had instant decaff. The price I have to say was very reasonable for a tasting menu, but it's a shame they seemed to skimp on quality, variation & ingredients to make up for this. It still felt like a lot of money for such an underwhelming experience & even if it was half the price we wouldn't be tempted to go back. I've no idea why our experience seems to have been so different to a lot of other reviewers. We eat out a lot & are well travelled so maybe our bar is just too high,i don't know. However we've had some really amazing experiences & meals in other parts of Bristol (often for a fraction of the price) so not sure that's the full story here...

Great spot for dinner! we had the taster menu with wine flight. Immaculately presented and perfectly portioned, we enjoyed every course. If I was pushed to pick a favorite it was the smoked trout which was smokey and sweet. Everything was cooked to impeccably and matched perfectly with the wine. The whole experience was great value for money, I have paid a lot more for a lot less. Very casual spot, you definitely don't feel like you need to dress up. will be back.

Superb food. Excellent service. Better than some of one star Michelin restaurants in Bristol. Highly recommend and definitely will be back.

lovely food and staff , was the only pescatarian from4 of us and they adjusted adequately, I definitely recommend, thank you !

Amazing food, creative tasting menu, wine and mocktails were excellent, very reasonable and loved being able to see the great chefs at work!

We tried the surprise tasting menu and it was good, if unmemorable. Every dish was carefully prepared, with balanced flavours and textures, from a velvety celeriac soup with a scallop sliver and curry aroma to start, to a delightfully wobbly and almost creamy (as it should be) pannacotta to end, through a beetroot and spelt risotto, a smoked trout with hispi cabbage, a duck with lentils and a cod with butter beans. Nothing stood out however, with dishes lacking a bit of oomph and personality and flavours tending to muted If in terms of food this was a solid 4 out of 5, what rather destroyed the day for us was the room: with below zero outside, a metal box with no proper heating, gusts of icy air continuously coming in from the opening of the door (for the outside service), a poorly functioning dimplex just spreading the cold air against us, was no fun. In fact, we realised we would have better off on the terrace, with the heating lamps beside diners, than at our table inside right in front of the door. We were unlucky, as I guess that on most other days of the year it's tolerable, but I'm reporting our experience. Prices are fair, service was friendly but not very caring. They could clearly see we were cold, yet they kept leaving the door open.

What a great restaurant. Although it is very small and quirky, the experience was terrific. The staff were great, the food was well cooked and there was plenty of choice of wine by the glass. I'd go again if I was back in Bristol

Absolutely brilliant meal, technically accomplished with no dip in quality all the way through the tasting courses. It came with a better wine pairing than I’ve had at certain 2 star Michelin restaurants. My preference to not have a sweet wine was met easily. Would return in a heartbeat. It was cold out on the balcony, but the food arrived hot, the heaters were on full blast and the wine certainly helped. The staff are friendly and relaxed.

very impressed by the food, really creative receipts and tasty. Even the truffe butter with bread is so good. Love the fish and pannacotta. Absolutely will go try the special 5 courses.

The BOX-E restaurant in Bristol far exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive, friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the meal. The highlight was of course the food. Each dish was a work of art in itself, both in taste and presentation. The ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality, and the combination of flavors was to die for. It's obvious that the chef and his team have great passion for what they do. This restaurant is an absolute must for anyone visiting Bristol. I can't wait to come back!

As far as food goes this is one of the best experiences I've ever had. The food was incredible. The service was heartfelt and passionate which really added to the experience. I cannot recommend BOX-E highly enough. We are real foodies and this blew me away. Thank you BOX-E.

I wondered how a 'posh' dinner (e.g. not inexpensive tasting menu selection with wine flight) was going to work based out of a 2nd storey shipping container. The industrial location didn't detract from the mood (friendly and genuine serving staff, lively and bubbly mix of customers) or the presentation of the dishes. The menu was considerately matched with the wine, including novel variants of typical grapes and some refreshing and remarkable picks (although I thought the addition of a perry to a wine flight was a marmite decision). Stand outs from the food, the cauliflower soup, sounds banal, tasted like a rich dream. Cabbage and trout, unctuous and salty. Would return very happily.

Amazing tasting menu with wine flight! So delicious and brilliant service, everything was perfectly timed. Highly recommended.

Food, location, service, Everything was perfect! I am definitely come back !

I had an exceptional dining experience at Box E. The food was truly outstanding, complemented perfectly by a superb selection of wines. The service was top-notch, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. What truly impressed me was the skill of the chef, who single-handedly created a culinary masterpiece. Highly recommended!

One of the best meals I have ever had. We went for the select menu and it was all a surprise which was amazing. I'm vegan and my partner isn't, there is rarely a place we can both enjoy a meal to this level together and both enjoy it so much. The chef can do any allergy or diet choice so recommend everyone to go for a special occasion

What an incredible night we had here! The tasting menu was superb, the staff too, lively and very knowledgeable. I can't recommend it highly enough and I will definitely return!

Very reasonable price for tasting menu and never fails to surprise us !!

Wish you had a more varied menu , delicious food tho

Absolutely delicious! Would recommend the cabbage starter and the chocolate mousse.

So off we toddled down to Bristol for the weekend. Managed to get a reservation here for the Saturday night. Went for the unwritten taster menu. Great value and great product. I could wax lyrical about every dish that came before us perfectly plated and so pleasing to the eye. Highlights the smoked trout, duck and the pano cotta. But every dish was stunning. The service was equally great. Unfussy, friendly and knowledgeable. If I were to be really really picky, we are simple folk and do like to ruin our selves with coffee and an amaretto or such after dinner. Coffee was great but lacked choice on things to go with. However in no way did that detract from the spectacular food and service that we were privileged to enjoy.

We had an impressive dinner. We opted for the chef's tasting menu, as we wanted some surprises. They served us some incredible dishes where each course wasn't isolated, the flavors had a delightful connection. We really enjoyed it and can't wait for the Fall season menu.

What a lovely discovery this place was on our first night in Bristol. Keep doing what you’re doing. Yummy food, best ever Negroni and fab wine.

Went for post-graduation dinner with family. Lovely food and service, good wines and reasonably priced. Only slight challenge on evening we were there was concert over the water, but this is not a regular occurence

Second meal at Box-E and everything was as good as the first time. Great tasting food, well presented and served by attentive and friendly staff. Thank you

Having waited a long time to try box E, my partner treated me to the Tasting Menu and Wine Pairings as a birthday surprise. The meal was exceptional with well presented and flavourful dishes. The wine pairings were excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. An all round fantastic experience!

Saw him at Foodie Festival so thought we would book and weren’t disappointed. Tried the taster menu and every course was delicious. Can’t believe Elliott does all the cheffing on his own. Highly recommend a visit

Our meal was faultless! We enjoyed every course of the tasting menu. We could not decide which was our favourite. The waiter bought us an extra pudding as the chefs panna cotta is out of this world. Good value. Great friendly service.

Absolutely incredible. The food, the service, the wine. The tasting menu is such good value and we are already looking forward to coming back

Box-E has never dissapointed in the 3-4 times I've been for dinner here. We had the 7 course tasting menu for dinner on Saturday. With the weather being so glorious we sat outside and had a lovely relaxed atmosphere with the buzz of Whapping Wharf around us. The menu did not disappoint, from first course to the last it only got better with each dish. and at £55 per head I think this is the best value for money tasting menu in Bristol The service is always superb, the waiting staff were friendly, attentive and open for questions. The only downside of sitting outside is not being able to see the chef in action, which was a highlight when we went a few years ago (but obviously this isn't exactly a hardship!) If we could give 6 stars we would!

Absolutely delicious food (had the tasting menu), fantastic service - staff were incredible. Reasonable price for what you get. Would 100% recommend and will be going back myself!

Great food, loved the tasting menu paired with some delicious wines. Great place for a celebratory meal!

Came for a birthday celebration and had the tasting menu and pairing wines. Had a wonderful evening; fantastic food, brilliant wines and superb service from the staff. The waitress who brought the wines out was clearly very knowledgeable about wines and introduced each one as...

Amazing taster menu with a brilliant wind pairing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing restaurant. Very tiny inside but more seating on the terrace..but still a great vibe. We were 4 adults for 3 course dinner. The food was superb, really fresh and tasty. Its a great night out there. I would warmly recommend it.

We went as a group for the tasting menu. Half of us returned home hungry. The tasting menu itself wasn't that amazing either - we've had much better tasting menus in Bristol. We did the wine pairing which was okay.

Very special lunch . Short gorgeous menu and non alcohol options were forward thinking

A delightful hidden gem. The food was exquisite

We had a fabulous lunch here - modern, tasty cuisine, informal setting and friendly staff. I would recommend it!

Box-E is simply fabulous! Despite a plethora of spectacular restaurants to choose from at Wapping Wharf, selecting Box-E for this year’s birthday lunch was an easy decision to make having read and heard so many tremendous reviews. Consequently, to say I had high expectations is an understatement. Nevertheless, not only did Box-E meet these but blew all my expectations out the water. I had one of the best meals I have ever had. Let’s begin with the space. Set in the delightful cargo units at Wapping Wharf, the restaurant includes a cosy indoor section that isn’t too noisy at all and a picturesque outdoor seating area which, with the aid from heaters, keeps one warm even on a cold crisp day. We selected the outdoor section and were very pleased as it was extremely quiet and felt private despite its public setting. Next the menu. You know with a compact menu like this there is no where to hide, but each dish is special with a lot of care and consideration going into every plate. As each dish is so varied and unique you can guarantee that you will find something on the menu to tantalise your imagination. So no matter if you’re vegetarian, pescatarian or have no dietary requirements you will be able to enjoy something from this most remarkable of menus featuring seasonal delights of magical excellence. But what about the service, well it’s second to none. Tess makes each and every guest feel very special, with a friendly welcome and a wonderfully warm personality. Tess just made everyone feel so relaxed and joyful throughout the meal, the perfect balance between attentive without ever being bothersome. To put the cherry on top of the cake, when my dessert came they even wrote happy birthday on the plate in chocolate, what more can you ask for. Now for the most important aspect of all, the food. What more can I say than fabulous! Everything was cooked to pure and utter perfection, seasoned beautifully to ensure the wonderful flavours of the dish were flawlessly heightened. Furthermore, each plate had the most faultless combination of textures making every mouthful a pure delight. Living with a top class cook that delivers delicious food daily means I am always critical of restaurant meals as they often don’t reach the standards I am use to at home. Which makes me sound very stuck up, however I hope you can appreciate thats it’s difficult not to compare. But Box-E I can safely say managed to surpass my high standards test with flying colours.

Box-E is simply fabulous! Despite a plethora of spectacular restaurants to choose from at Wapping Wharf, selecting Box-E for this year’s birthday lunch was an easy decision to make having read and heard so many tremendous reviews. Consequently, to say I had high expectations is...

Our visit to Box-E was excellent from initial enquiry to every mouthful of food. They communicated clearly with me via email, in a friendly and responsive way. We arranged to have the tasting menu and wine flight, and they were accommodating of my dislike of...

I had a lovely time dining at BOX-E… The place is a bit difficult to find by Google Maps, but I eventually found it by going around the back and up the stairs of the very last shipping container. The servers were very friendly and welcoming and provided me with a great drink recommendation. I did the tasting menu (7 courses), which was an astounding value at only £50. The standout dish was the smoked trout and my least favorite dish was the cheese/cracker plate (as you can see from the images, presentation was a bit sloppy). The environment was cozy and quaint, though the majority of seating was outside (more suitable for warmer weather). Overall, I had a fine experience at BOX-E and I’d recommend it to anyone in Bristol looking for a unique and affordable tasting menu experience.

This restaurant is superb . Been here twice for lunch in last 3 months , great produce , great cooking , nice vibe and lovely staff . I rushed off to write this review and saw that it was totally redundant as I was saying...

What a gem of a restaurant. Visiting and having the 7 course taster menu it was faultless. The welcome we had was warm and friendly and the passion for good food and wine was instantly evident. Knowledge about the wine and the food was incredible...

This place is an absolute gem. Incredible what this team can deliver from a converted shipping container! 7 courses, all delicious, though the leek and potato soup, guinea fowl with tastebud-exploding green salsa and the panacotta with rhubarb were highlights. We were celebrating 2 birthdays...

A lovely friendly restaurant. Food is outstanding. Staff are outstanding. We had the Tasting menu and wine flight. Great value and very tasty

Came here since it was recommended by Michelin and it did not disappoint. Flavors and taste blended so well together on every dish. I absolutely fell in love with the rice pudding dessert at the end!

My wife and I had an excellent meal. We chose the pairing menu whereby we had superb food with a selected wine. Not just served but the full repertoire of where it came from and how it was produced. Another highly recommended restaurant worthy of a second visit.

One of the best dining experiences in Bristol - everything was perfect. A fantastic selection of wine, superb and unique dishes and even a whole vegan menu. The highlight was the duck main course, and the mushroom starter. But the menu is constantly changing with the seasons! Highly recommend but definitely book early!

Excellent food and service. Prompt but casual pace. Superb tasting menu and wine flight

A friendly cosy venue with quite the tastiest food I can recall eating.

I booked a table here for my wife’s birthday and what a meal. It we presented perfectly and the wine pairing was spot on as well. The team are really lovely and tentative but also give space, perfect! My wife even said that it was...
