Brewers Fayre - Wessex Flyer, Bristol in Bristol, City of

We regularly visit the “Wessex Flyer” in Hengrove. Faye (the duty manager) and her team are all working together to make our experience very enjoyable. The food is excellent, and the drinks. A special shout-out to Casey, who served us today, a lovely young lady as are all the staff. Faye goes that extra mile to check with all the customers that everything is OK. Highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast at The Wessex Flyer today lots of food choices hot and cold. The hot food was lovely and hot we have already booked to come again next week great for the adults and the kids too great selection. Also lovely staff very helpful and welcoming

Came here for the Sunday carvery. And what happened shocked us…my wife and I is hearing impaired and Andy at the host greeted us with a smile and showed us to our table. After around 10 mins we went to the till where they understood our situation and helped us order our carvery’s. Now this is what shocked us.. the young man with glasses was very patient with us. He pointed out the 3 meats and insured we had a great experience. Once we got our meals. He was very glad and use BSL (British sign language) to say goodbye and thank you. Not many people have the patience and politeness as they do at the Wessex flyer.

We had a table for 6 for Sunday lunch. We had 5 having carvery and a mixed grill and all were great meals, the staff were all lovely and we had really good service! Would highly recommend 👌

This a great place to eat. The food was really nice and good selection. The staff were amazing and it’s reasonably price.

Another great breakfast at the Wessex Flyer. Always a lovely warm welcome from Faye and the team, nothing is ever to much trouble - Highly recommended.

Great evening. Good food, great service from Ellie and the team , gets busy but worth the wait :) Regulars in here and will continue to be regulars

Came in for Sunday lunch and was greeted by a lovely waitress called Keira, upon arrival I asked her about the vegetarian options on the Sunday carvery. She gave me a full run down of all the things I could choose from on the carvery as well as the main menu, she also helped when ordering puddings and what was the best to choose from. The food overall was 10/10 the vegan chicken and veg was one of the best vegan options I’ve ever had in a pub and the chocolate brownie was amazing. The whole team were very kind and helpful and a special thanks to smooth when taking our order and being so patient, will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

The food is..is to die for...and cory the chef makes a banging blue steak..a lovely place to go to .staff are amazing 100%

Booked a table for 5.30pm and the pub was booming had a table in the back end of the restaurant nice clean and quiet. We had a look though the menu and we quickly found what meals we wanted. Headed to the till and amber served us, she was very polite and respectful, headed back to the table and when our food come out Keira & andy brought it, asked if we needed any sauces, what can I say the food was perfect, both streaks cooked to perfection and burger and pie was delicious. Ordered puds and smooth and Keira brought them out and the puds was fantastic.

Came here for a family meal and was pleasantly surprised with The Wessex Flyer. Food was enjoyed by everyone and puds were good too! Also good Vegan options which was appreciated by family members. I must say a special thank you to Isaac who was an amazing host throughout. He was very attentive to all of our needs and was extremely polite. His energy was very infectious and I hope to see you again next time! Also served by a lovely young lady who was also super helpful, but I unfortunately didn't catch her name. We all agreed we would return again. Thank you!

Faye made us very welcome, from taking our order to bringing our desserts, shes a credit to your restaurant, definitely will be returning.

I had dinner with my family. Food nice. They kids enjoyed their food very much and the staff were lovely. Great team work.

The staff here made the experience so much more enjoyable. Chris especially was super friendly and chatty, his colleague Rihanna too. We ate their several times over the weekend when we stayed next door. He always asked how our day was etc and was genuinely a lovely chap. Food was nice too.

Great place for a carvery and dessert. Prices are fair . Isaac and crew very welcoming and go beyond expectation to give you a great service thank you isaac. Would highly reccomend a visit 5***** from me

Amazing service from Ellie...... fantastic Very polite fun and professional 5 ☆ Thank you for great afternoon/ evening 😀

Dirty tables, slow service, poor quality good. Often stay in premier Inns and eat in the adjoining restaurants but this was pretty grim for dinner and breakfast.

Held a family gathering after my mums funeral. Separated off an area for about 40 of us. Amazing. Food lovely. Staff were amazing. Chris was brilliant helping to arrange everything. Thankyou for making our day very special for a special lady with family & friends

We have visited this restaurant a few times this year and must say the staff are absolutely lovely. So accommodating and friendly, always willing to help with anything you need. We were served our food by a lovely waitress Kelly who has served us before, I must say she is a very polite and delightful young lady who has always been extremely helpful. The food was extremely delicious and hot, we would definitely recommend coming here for food and drinks, all staff are so friendly and food was amazing.

Here for dinner and drinks with friends after getting home from Cheltenham. Had the chicken and pulled ham pie, was excellent. Locals seem up for a laugh, and beer and cocktails flowed all night.

The staff was very good and polite and friendly. When we went it wasn’t busy and was quiet. The drinks was good and not too expensive.

Excellent service from Faye. Will definitely be going back soon . Great value for money 5 ***** thanks

Stopped off with may family this time, food was delivered in a timely manner, was tasty and hot all the staff were very friendly and helpful

Came in for the new menu with the family and love every part of it, new sundae was amazing and the brewers dog was really nice

The staff were great and very helpful with the information we needed regarding our allergies, the food was really good and it arrived very fast as well.

Late night meal as we were on our way past. loved the food although the brewers dog is a very interesting menu choice. was nice to see inches on tap as you don't see that everywhere. would be back again if I was from the...

This place is a shambles. Staff lacking any etiquette or customer service. The food is a joke. Waited nearly 30 minutes for a burger. Had to ask if they'd forgotten the order. No apology and it looked like someone just chucked it on the plate....

Greeted with a friendly welcome which was a great start. We were explained how breakfast worked - continental buffet which you help yourself to and then the hot breakfast was cooked to order. All of which is all you can eat! On the weekend there...

We went for breakfast on Mother’s Day lovely food and great service Faye was really welcoming and helpful even though she was super busy with it being Mother’s Day we will definitely be back

Visited for all you could eat breakfast. On weekdays in term time, staff take your order rather than serve yourself but explained can order as often as you wish. Food arrived well cooked. Good range of continental options. Staff very friendly.

Came for the carvery, ordered a couple of drinks with some friends. Sat down at my table very clean for the middle of a rush, went to the carvery deck to see a new chef on it, he wears glasses, was very polite and just...

Me and my sister came here for her birthday! We were shouted at across the bar to find our own seats as long as we booked so we seen ourselves to our table. Then, after waiting 45 minutes for our meals they were stone cold!...

We popped out for a quick meal last night, didn’t expect anything special, just didn’t want to have to cook. The restaurant was busy but not overly so. When I asked for a gluten free menu, necessity not choice, the man I assume was the...

Visited again today with family. The restaurants always has a welcoming environment and delicious food. Faye and the team are always so polite, welcoming and willing to provide and adapt to suit our big family, food allergies and also always provide wheel chair access. Couldn’t...

Very very average pub style eatery. The food is okay, the restaurant is also okay, service too. It’s a pretty rough place though and there was so much F’ing and worse.

We regularly come for an all you can eat breakfast (£9.50 and kids eat free!) and occasionally for evening meals. We are vegan and love the amount of options we have - veggie bacon and sausages on the breakfast menu. We have always been greeted...

Obviously very short staffed when we visited. Service was lacklustre and we even had to clear our own starters and take them to the counter. Food was ok, but I question how long it was waiting in the kitchen as it was served immediately after...

Had a great night food good service fab , barman was very knowledgeable and the manager was professional

The Christmas menu is a great deal for the low price it is for multiple courses, it is truly worth every penny and my husband absolutely loved the Wellington. We will definitely return in the future plus we've booked for Christmas day as well because...

We came to celebrate a birthday on Sunday and we all had the carvery. The amount of trimming options you get to choose from is amazing and the beef and gammon was perfectly cooked and so juicy. We will definitely be returning for the carvery...

I just wanted to write this review as I had a amazing experience here and the staff were all so lovely , helpful and delivered a great Service. My friend had just had a baby recently and me and my uncle were taking her and...

Another fantastic trip to the Wessex Flyer Brewers Fayre. Faye and the team were brilliant and so friendly. We had some dietary requirements and they instantly prepared and brought out the food separately. There were 11 of us and there was no lack of food...

Have been coming here over the years now for quite some time. don't get me wrong, there's been times where we would question coming back again but we do and over the past couple of years I have to say hengrove brewers fayre has been...

We ate here recently before our stay in the hotel next door. The food as you’d expect was pretty standard pub food- nothing to write home about but cheap and edible so you can’t complain too much. The bacon on the hunter’s chicken was very...

We stayed in the premier Inn next door and went into the into the public house next door to the premier Inn it was dirty and unkept the toilets were dirty as well staff very friendly just had a drink and left

Had a lovely breakfast at the Wessex Flyer. Staff helpful and welcoming. Special thanks to Faye. Will visit again.

Faye who was front of house showed the utmost importance to my needs for gluten-free food. Most accommodating and made me feel at ease and nothing was too much trouble. A much appreciated change from other places I have to use.

Would definitely recommend going to The wessex flyer, brilliant atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent value for money, everything hot and delicious with a wide range if variety to suit everyone. We love coming here.

During this summer break from school a group of us visited for breakfast to catch up, Faye leading an amazing team looked after us every Wednesday morning, except one, great food, good friendly service, clan and tidy . Well done Faye xx

Booked a table for 7pm a day earlier and arrived at the restaurant on the day at 6:55. Stood in a queue for a for 20minutes, with so many staff walking past, oblivious to the customers waiting. No apology for the wait or any form...

Fantastic service from Faye and her team in the mornings, very friendly to customers and inviting environment to enjoy breakfast. Felt very welcomed!

Visit was on the off chance after watching the early morning balloons. Food was great excellent value. Staff were friendly and polite. Enjoyable visit

Stopped next door for the night before catching a flight from bristol airport early the next morning had a few beers which were very good and a bit to eat basic food average portion size and tasty the staff were friendly although at times no...

The food and service was really good today. We have brought a really large group of people, there were 16 of us. The food came out quick and was piping hot. One of the meals was incorrect however this was resolved quickly and with no...

Came in after walking for a while in the heat. Had a nice pint but better yet it was a treat just to sit under some Aircon and cool off

Never in my life have I ever come across such a filthy hole, staying in premier inn next door, called in for drinks and possibly food but after being told can’t have a half coke from pump got to have a bottle but would still...

exactly what you'd expect from a branded restaurant but thought this one came with a little pizzazz! only popped in for drinks but the service was nice and it's always great to be greeted with a smile. definitely better than it used to be.

I visited here with young children and was very impressed. It was clean - it was good to see how thoroughly the tables etc were cleaned between customers coming and going. The food was well-presented and delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The staff were...

Had a loverly meal and was attended by a young girl named abi. She was so helpful and was always smiling,nothing was to much trouble for her. Great meal and a wonderful member of staff…

We had breakfast here whilst staying at Premier inn next door. We found the staff friendly and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was nice, good variety.

If the staff knew how to smile they had forgotten the night I stayed. No common curtesies like hello, thank you, enjoy your meal!!!!!! I made the mistake of having scampi and chips. Scampi over cooked and chips where fries that had no substance I...

Dinner with family, had a nice big table in the window but still very messy from previous diners. Took a long time to order at the bar, although not very busy but maybe they were short staffed. Food took even longer, about 30/40mins and was...

Fantastic food and great staff. Came with my daughter to have a few drinks and a meal. Greeted by wonderful staff whoi later found out to be Isaac and a young girl named Kelly. Served by two loverly bar staff,Luke and Tom. They made a...

The staff here are really doing a great job. It’s average food in an average setting if I am honest. Typical chain offering standard meals

Haven’t been here for a long time and will not be looking at returning. The Wessex Flyer use to serve really good food and value for money, today we had the lunch time menu and portions were small and food not good. Staff were pleasant...

Vegan burger. Pretty average. Chips were lukewarm. No choice as I have an early flight and not prepared to travel. I thought it would be better than the fast few joints nearby! Mistaken

Five adults visited on 26 feb at 5 pm. We were taken to our table and the manager?had a little joke with us over extra for the table we wanted. It made us feel welcome. The drinks were served from the bar and although the...

I have visited here regularly over the years, and on this occasion I would love to thank the delightful Charlotte. A child in our group had special needs, and Charlotte recognised this, and dealt with us with nothing short of professionalism!!! It’s so nice when...

Good food at a very reasonable price, clean and tidy, easy parking and very friendly and helpful staff. We will be visiting again soon.

On a quick pitstop traveling through Bristol decided to stop at the Wessex, the food was tasty, served in a timely manner

Very nice xmas dinner- well presented, plentiful and very well cooked. The menu is varied with plenty of choice. There are a number of vouchers available with their bonus card which makes it good value. The staff here work very hard and are polite.

We visited the Wessex Flyer in Bristol today. There has been a massive improvement in the food and service at this venue in the last year. My husband and I enjoyed Fish and skin on chips at £8.99 for two plus a small charge to...

Came for a family birthday party. Service and staff were great,food was loverly and on time. Staff were great,special thanks to Kelly who looked after us,and Isaac and all the staff. Alex I was told is the general manager so I’d like to thank him...

Just popped in to try their new menu, great deal for a three course, Kelly was very helpful and had some good recommendations, definitely return

Came here to try out the new festive menu and I absolutely loved it. I ordered two of the turkey roasts which were well cooked and very pleasant. I also had room for dessert so of course I had to get the Christmas pudding which was so beautiful. Very satisfied will definitely be coming back!! And the staff were welcoming and happy to help me with a question I had :)

Not been here before so thought I'd cone in with my partner just to give it a go. All I have to say is how the staff there really will go above and beyond. I'm quite a gussy eater so I have a lot of requests when I order my food, the guy with the glasses had no problems sorting my order and when my food came out I realised I forgot to order onion rings for my partner and Isaac was more than happy to get those sorted for me. Will be back soon

Went on Sunday mid afternoon for the Carvery but very disappointed to find there was no cabbage or stuffing on the Carvery deck.I can understand that items may be unavailable from time to time but there were no substitutes nor any mention of this at time of purchasePoor compared to pre COVID when the Carvery also came with help yourself tomato soup and crusty bread.In future, I will ensure I will check availability first before purchasing.The cottage pie would be better if it also came with chips /fries rather than just peas as not worth the money.

Only time the price of a pint here is acceptable is when that Jen girl is working could neck 30 of them just to be served by her great business tactic hiring someone so stunning but actually with a personality constantly bringing up the atmosphere props to you guys and to her

Visited here with my family for a meal and get together.Was greeted by a loverly gentlemen who I later found out was called Isaac.He and the staff couldn’t be more helpful,food was wonderful and if the management could pass on my thanks to there staff and especially Isaac I would grateful….Will definitely be returning as it’s a loverly place to be.

Unfortunately we had to abandon eating here. The staff member greeting us rolled his eyes when I said we had a Premier Inn meal deal voucher. He told us to get our menus from the bar nd find a table. On sitting down, we found a list of all the things on the menu that they didn't have. I appreciate that this isn't their fault but it would have been nice to know before sitting down. It made the our choices very limited. The table and menu were both extremely sticky. In fact the menu stuck to the table which was really unpleasant. Perhaps we were just unlucky as other review are excellent. We got a refund from Premier Inn and headed off elsewhere for dinner.

come in or a quick visit just before going to the cinema, had a burger and a tikka which came out sharply which was nice since we had a movie to get to. food was hot and the staff were friendly. would go again

The food was not very special, from I last had dinner there, no children’s cutlery are thought they have kids menu,

Had a lovely evening meal. Got served by luke and food brought out by isaac. Wonderful hosting by two friendly and helpful gentlemen. Food was well cooked and came out hot

I will definitely recommend the Wessex flyer the food is lovely and the staff are really friendly and helpful I came here with my partner and the team were really helpful and polite and I will definitely recommend the Wessex flyer

First time out out since Covid.A nervous approach from me was met with a friendly welcome led by Issac and his lovely staff. I felt safe and had yet again a fabulous time and we can’t wait to book up and go back!Bravo you guys! You work hard at what you do, and I love the reception you give.There’s a lot to be learnt from this team. I thank you! All the bestLisa & Molly

Came in with a few friends earlier in the day for a couple of drinks.They did mention they were missing a few items due to deliverys but given the circumstances that's understandable.The staff was friendly and polite and polite which was nice and nothing seemed to much trouble.Will come back again
