Chris and Jo's Kitchen in Bristol, City of

It is not easy to find an affordable British restaurant where cooking is well-understood, but here it is. Highly recommend the chicken thigh dish in the lunch menu. Focaccia is also great.

Delicious roast and generous portions!

Fabulous freshly cooked, locally sourced and delicious food. No attention to detail is spared. Portions are generous and each dish is beautifully presented and nutritionally balanced. Advice on wine was helpful and the choices were good. This is a gem of a place and very good value. It's a small venue, so quiet and intimate.

We had a lovely meal here. The focaccia is delicious. There are lots of vegetarian choices and the food was very fresh, everything worked together well.

The food here was very very good. The fresh gnocci was incredible. The service was a little strange... From the moment I called to book a table, it was almost like our booking wasn't wanted (because I was requesting a table quite close to their closing time). When we were in there another party came in after us. Looking at the owners face, they were clearly not welcome 😂 I understand when it's nearing closing time, you just want to finish your working day and be done. But this can be tricky when your work is in hospitality!

We had a Sunday roast here and the food was fantastic. We both went for the pork and it was succulent with generous amounts of crackling. Everything on the plate was seasoned perfectly, and the rice pudding dessert was the best I've ever had. It seems like a lot of thought and love goes into their food, like with the best home cooked meals.

Over all very good, great menu, but the food both times was too salty. Less salt and it would be top notch.

Delicious dinner! I had the fish stew and a side of roasted broccoli, everything was cooked to perfection so I’ll definitely be back for more.

A real hidden Bristol treasure and the best meal out we've had in years! Very fresh seasonal menu, and really lovely, thoughtful service. We'll definitely be going again to try the things we didn't have this time

I highly recommend this restaurant! The asparagus, pea and green bean risotto and the leek and potato rosti were superb!

Delicious Sunday roast, but the lady who served us was a bit blunt and unfriendly. Uncomfortable atmosphere as a result of that.

The best roast in Bristol and one of, if not the best, I've had anywhere! Really lovely place that feels and tastes special. Great options and great value!

A great little independent restaurant serving very good food. A nice selection of food and a good range of drinks, including local beers, to choose from. A welcome change from mediocre chain restaurants in the city centre.

Ever since we discovered Chris and Jo’s Kitchen in the early days of opening we always make a point to eat there when we go to Bristol. The food is sensational ! We have never had anything that didn’t taste, fantastic. It’s flavoursome and fresh I’ve never needed to add any seasoning. The service is very good & efficient, and as we’ve got to know Jo more, we find it really enjoyable, getting to speak with her if she has the time . This is upmarket tasting & looking food in an unfussy fancy restaurant. It’s fairly basic inside but not uncomfortable. But from the outside you would not believe the quality of the food, you will be getting. I really am amazed at the amount of people from Bristol that have never heard of it, and I always try to encourage them to give it a try One of the nice things about that is not one person comes back and complains to me, because Chris and Jo’s Kitchen has is consistently excellent. When you are recommending a restaurant, this is what you want and when you go back yourself this is what you want. If we lived in Bristol we would be eating here Farm more regularly. It’s a fantastic place go and try it for yourself!

A cozy lovely place- with food that never disappoints. Everything on the menu is cooked to perfection and great value for money, a hidden gem for food in Bristol !

Absolutely phenomenal food..a little slow but completely worth waiting for. Exceptional

We went for Sunday lunch. Boyfriend ordered the beef and I had the pork. The meat was cooked to perfection as were the veg - potatoes were nicely crisp. Good portion, we were stuffed. Spritz and coffee was also nice. Service was fine. Would return for sure.

Wow! What an incredible roast and the burrata starter was delicious. Definitely worth a visit. Could be a contender for Bristols best roast!

The six of us had a wonderful dinner here. We had three starters - fish stew, risotto and mussels - were all superb! The two fish mains - the trout and cod- were tantalising. Pork belly was delicious and the chicken tender. A good place for dinner, especially if you crave a traditional English meal.

The lunch menu is good value for money :) It takes a while to wait for the food, but for the price, everything is satisfactory!

Best roast I’ve had in Bristol.

Overall the food is good. But as the same as the comments I saw on the internet, the chief’s level is not stable, sometimes the main dish is too salty. Oh well this happened to me. The pork belly is really really salty and the potatoes at the side are extremely salty. Ye I need to use the word extremely. I’m that person who can bear strong flavour but this is still too much. And also, I think it’s a bit overpriced, but not thattt bad.

Came here for a date night. The front of house and the chef are the owners, the food is cooked fresh, the prices are amazing especially for the location! We’re definitely coming back, highly recommend !

Best roast dinner I have ever had 😃

Wow one of the best roasts of my life

Really lovely restaurant, fantastic food and wonderful atmosphere, would recommend

Delicious food, beautiful presentation, reasonable prices

Delightful restaurant. The food is better than good. A really high standard of cooking and fantastic value for money. Excellent vegetarian options. Whenever I am in Bristol I try and visit. I highly recommend.

The roast is top notch with friendly service and good prices.

Went here as a 'Christmas present meal' with the parents one Saturday evening. It's a small place with no real obvious sign of where it is apart from a blackboard they put out the front. Literally Chris is in the kitchen and Jo serving. The food was absolutely delicious - you could tell so much love and care goes into it. The service was very attentive too. Highly recommended this place.

I came for roast but was not feeling the choice so had soup which was nice

Nice reward for walking up St Michael's Hill 😁! Have been looking forward to this roast for ages and it did not disappoint. Everything was so flavoursome. I went for the silverside roast beef, it came pink and tender as advertised and there a decent portion. Roast potatoes were crispy and seasoned 👌. Yorky was nice and crispy. The veg was red cabbage, carrots, green beans, broccoli and green beans. All were incredibly flavoursome and cooked perfectly. Special mention goea to the gravy which was and thick and cauliflower cheese, which was creamy and soft.

The best Sunday Roast in Bristol!!! You get two massively thick slices of the most succulent, juicy, perfectly pink, roast beef. The gravy, greens, croquette, yorkshires, cauliflower cheese were also delicious. Went here for a roast two years ago and came back today and it never fails to amaze me. There is always a slight waiting time for the food here but it’s completely justifiable. We left stuffed and remained full for the next 8 hours!!! (Their lunch time chicken sandwiches are amazing too!) I will definitely be back and would highly recommend everyone go!

It's hard not to love this place. It's very charming, the menu changes on a daily basis, the quality of the cooking is good, it has interesting dishes on the menu including lots of options for those who are vegetarians and the prices are very reasonable. We enjoyed our lunch although not everything was absolutely perfect. The star dish was the chicken thighs with gnocchi, it was tasty and well balanced. The mussels were excellent, high quality ingredient which was perfectly cooked and well seasoned but needed something else to go with it, like chips or a good sourdough that can soak up the lovely sauce. The trout was lovely but came on a bed of salad that wasn't as good as the fish. There were no side dishes on the menu which was a shame. We will definitely return to try again on another day and a different menu. The locals love this place and I can understand why.

Enjoyed Sunday lunch, maximum of 4 people per booking. Absolutely fantastic meal, everything on the plate tasted so good. The service was very good, and the music in the background was spot on Highly recommend, and we hope to visit again

Incredible food, not so relaxing service.

Hidden at simple sight, with little or nothing to give off what a gem it is; you could walk past it withoutknowingit was there. This restaurant is probably the best value food around here. Top quality food (taste and plating), freshly prepared with fresh seasonal ingredients at a reasonable cost. Service can feel slow at times, but it's understandable. From simple sight, it might be managed by its owners, one doing the cooking and one doing table services. Minimal staff might be one of the reasons quality-to-cost is so good.

Bad points : Average food , pork was dry , gravel was tasteless , some of the veg was luke warm , everything needed seasoning . Place was very cold and most people sitting to eat in jackets . Good points : the veg was cooked nicely and not overcooked ( although some of it had been left standing so was lukewarm ) , croquettes were nice. Would I return ? Sorry no . Better places to eat in Bristol

Banging food. Home made and made with love. Best hidden gem in bristol.

Really liked this place. Food was absolutely excellent, piping hot and tasty. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Very slow, chef seemed to be having issues in the kitchen. Far too much food on the plate with the roast, half of it not needed. Cut and down and do it well rather than throwing everything at it. Soup was good but bread wasn't - too greasy and lacked taste.

Very friendly and very good cuisine. I recommend with my eyes closed

Delicious veggie roast dinner, warm nutmeg roast cabbage and creamy sweet potato wellington with cauli cheese and crispy kale and roasties ❤️

A friend had been trying to organise for us to visit here for months and it was definitely worth the wait! Great selection of tasty seasonal dishes and such great portion sizes too! Brilliant value as well. I will certainly be visiting again.

Fantastic food - some of the best in Bristol - at very reasonable prices! Only 20 covers, though, so best to book in advance.

After seeing many positive reviews of the restaurant, I was excited to pop in since I was in the area. Immediately the atmosphere was lovely and I was excited to order and have a great meal. Seems I made the mistake of asking if there was anything the waitress recommended that was a “quick meal”. She immediately became agitated with me, throwing her hands around and glaring as if I had said something absolutely awful. I quickly apologised and let her know I had a meeting in an hour and hoped there was something I could eat in that time. I wish I hadn’t had asked. I also wish I hadn’t eaten there. I’m assuming I caught her on a bad day? The food was nice but there are a lot of nice food places in Bristol who don’t make you feel as terrible as the waitress did. I certainly won’t be returning but I’m sure others could have a nice experience there.

Came in for a quick easy bite, left instead with a full belly and a hunger for more in the future. The roast chicken and stuffing sandwich is quite honestly the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in Bristol, asked for chips and they offered roast potatoes as a substitute - stunning mix of crunchy and fluffy roasties. Highly recommended, I’m chunky as well so you know - I know my sandwiches.

This was our fist time and it most definitely won’t be the last the food was amazing and the price was so good I would recommend booking we were lucky and walked in as they opened

Nice food, cooked for you especially, not precooked.

This is what local restaurants should be like.

Exquisite food! I would come back just for the cauliflower and cheese soup ❤️. The only thing that would improve is the temperature, which was a little cold

I had dinner yesterday the food was excellent. Thank you Chef. I ve known the service to be warmer and more welcoming in the past. I also noticed that even if it was not busy the clients were packed in a corner as they were coming, which meant that clients were right next to each other in a pretty quiet restaurant with loads of empty tables available. Overall good.

The worse service I ever had… I can’t imagine how a waitress can be so rude in treating customers.

Had a celebratory dinner here last night. Bottle of wine and 2 courses of some of the best food we have had came to less than £70 (pre-tip). Really cosy, fantastic food, all made fresh on the premises (including the excellent focaccia). Friendly, informative and prompt service. Particular mention to the Jerusalem artichoke soup and venison steak. Thanks so much, we will be back!

Ten out of ten sunday roast, probably the best ever!!

Marvellous gem of a place.Unpretentious with great food and a genuinely interesting and varied drinks list, everything at reasonable prices. We went for a very late - 4pm - Sunday lunch and it was brilliant. Very pleased that our Bristol friends recommended it. We will definitely return when given the chance.

First visit to Chris and Jo's Kitchen last weekend for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. Once you are inside it's a cute little place with a nice atmosphere. The outside could do with sprucing up a bit though as we stood outside briefly thinking it was an abandoned building.

Fantastic experience and awesome food. Highly recommended.

Lovely family dinner at a small independent restaurant. Everything was delicious, and staff were friendly and helpful.

The food is absolutely stunning! Best dishes in Bristol.

Get the roast chicken!!!! Immediately!!! Break down the door!!!! Don't touch the card machine when you're paying - its contactless

Absolutely delicious! The food came out piping hot and it was super fresh. Starters on the pricy side, approx £10 each bar the soup, however, it was delicious none the less and I’m glad we ordered one. Mains very reasonably priced for what you get. Only has a few tables which makes for a lovely atmosphere, friendly and quick service too. Will definitely come back

The food was absolutely amazing and first class.

Popped in for lunch today and it was a delight. I had the chicken with potatoes and it was delicious, well presented and a right little treat. Prices reasonable too given the high standards. Nice and chilled atmosphere.

What an amazing place. Food was freshly cooked, very very reasonably priced, beef sandwich was so good, so much beef in it, was more than what you would get in a Sunday roast in most places. Sticky toffee pudding was very tasty even for someone like me who doesn’t have a sweet tooth. Rosti was very nicely presented, just a bit heavy and salty to my taste, but it’s not a complaint, I am sure most people would find it very tasty. Service was efficient and friendly in my opinion, one of the best places for food in Bristol for sure

Just brilliant. Really, really tasty and interesting food with generous portions. The cauliflower soup and mackerel starters and the golden syrup and thyme panna cotta stood out for me. Service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was effortlessly calm and welcoming. This menu absolutely has to be tried if you're in Bristol and you love good food.

Second time here today and super impressed, great food , great prices I’ll be back

The dishes we ate were very good value for money, we enjoyed them: slow roasted pork, asparagus rissotto, cod with chorizo. But it was very hot in the place and we were served by a very unfriendly waitress, everything we did seemed to annoy her... a pity!

Extremely good; better than some restaurants I've been to for twice the price We tried the roast cod, the pollock, a cheesecake + a warm date cake. All the dishes were familiar but had a creative edge to them; everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly and each dish had a good balance of flavours and textures. We'd read some reviews saying the service was sub par but we found the hostess helpful and unpretentious

I wanted to like this place given the very high reviews, but it was just ok. I had the vegan roast. A lot of it was too salty and the vegetables were a bit overcooked. A good note is that they were exceptionally attentive to handling allergens, which is rare and appreciated.

We come for Sunday roast. Had chicken and beef. All vegetables were cooked beautifully, fresh and tasty. Friendly stuff, good service. Chicken were tender and melting in the mouth. Beef nice pink as I like. Could bit improve interior. Place felt a bit small, and the tables were quite close to each other, really hot inside. I do recommend booking a table in advance as it is small plase and getting quite busy. All ower food was honest and tasty .

Fantastic place, friendly and welcoming service. The roast was delicious, we haven't had a roast like that in so long! Generous portions with a great selection of food to eat from. It was perfect! I loved the Austrian Orange wine aswell. We will be coming back for sure. Thanks for having us!

Great food at a reasonable price.

Roast was so colorful - had lots of veg and meat! Cute place with good food.

A hidden gem. Super nice cozy place with extremely high quality dishes. The food was affordable considering the quality and quantity you get. Make a booking though as it is frequently booked out in my experience.

Good place to eat! My dish was really good.

This beautiful little place served some of the best food I've ever had. The owners were friendly and the atmosphere was cosy. I can't recommend it enough! I had the slow-roasted pork belly, which was absolutely delicious!

Professionals! Haven’t tried my dessert yet, but it’s def a five-star place. Well done guys and keep making your guests happy!UPD. The odd thing was that they refused to charge my phone a bit - was running out of juices but thankfully I had a physical bank card with me to pay for the meal. The reason was the high cost of electricity. Wasn't sure what is their POV on customers washing their hands or using the toilet as the water is expensive, too 🤦‍♀️

Stunning Sunday lunch, friendly staff, nice vibe, decent wine list 👌

Would be five star if there’s enough supply of bread in lunchtime :)

Absolutely great place. Very understated, relaxed atmosphere with top class food and drink. Started with a craft IPA and a fantastic malbec, then had hake and chicken thigh, also a roast beef, and roast chicken. Desserts were tamarind sticky toffee pudding, plum crumble and coffee pannacotta. Everything cooked to perfection. The roasts came with cauliflower cheese and leeks. Why go to a gastropub when you can go here? Highly recommend.

Always delicious. Very good value for the quality of the cooking!

This place is tiny. Make reservations. We came on a Sunday and we luckily got the last table of the day. The chicken roast was unbelievable. Each section was a different flavor. Such a lovely lovely place.

Delicious, unpretentious food with friendly service. Love it👌

Fantastic place to go for lunch. The inexpensive yet substantial sandwiches are delicious. The roast chicken option is especially good.

Lovely place and delicious food! I recommend the slow roasted pork belly.

Lovely little local restaurant, they did so well during the lockdowm

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with really excellent food. Best roast I've had in Bristol, but not the most expensive.

Beautifully prepared food with lovely flavour and texture combinations.

Absolutely fantastic food, would not hesitate to recommend

Very tasteful food and nice coffees. All food served at the same time. Worth waiting for it.

Incredible food that's arguably too cheap. Highly recommend

Great little hidden gem. Always a great choice of very good value & tasty dishes

Sunday roast takeaway is always spot on 👌🏿

Best Sunday roast in Bristol! I would recommend booking as it get very busy since the place is quite small. They serve very good portions for a good price. Everything is extremely tasty and well made with good attention to detail.

Epitome of exceptional british food. Im a chef and have worked in british restaurants with similiar menus, but the food here was much better and executed perfectly. Great portion sizes as well!

Great food. Good portion size. Reasonably priced.

Amazing Sunday lunch, the best I've ever had, and believe me I go out a lot in Bristol for Sunday lunch and this is on a different level. So nice it made me emotional. A must if you go for a roast in Bristol lots of it too. 12 different veg BONKERS

Cheap and really good food. You have to be prepared to wait a bit. Because they cook the food when you order and they don't cut corners.

Had a beautiful roast dinner here the other weekend. Absolutely mega portions and great flavours on the plate. Nice staff too with friendly service.
