Gillians in Bristol, City of

Very tasty fry up at fair price

Had breakfast here 2 days ago. I have been so ill with food poisoning still ill today. NEVER AGAIN

Great staff and service, food is spot on

The breakfast stick was ok, bacon was ok, sausage ok, mushrooms not good strong flavour and greasy, egg was just chucked on stick instead of cut and placed the length of stick, no attention to detail, disappointing

I usually just have a sausage roll with cooked onions loadz r butter mustardNketchup coz that's the law.........but recently I had a full rule Britannia and the fried bread perffffffection (none of that stick it in the fryer malaki ) fresh black pud bleeding mintttt, apart from the ol' bar¢π^ds ShoutN top of there Voices when we know brekkie is sacred with a hang over, I will be be back for more, I explore you have a bash.

Excellent place to sit and have a proper English breakfast. They also do takeaway from the shop next door.

Amazing place very friendly staff and the food was amazing would highly recommend visiting

Great Breakfast and friendly staff

Just a fantastic place for breakfast.

Lovely cafe with lovely staff, accommodated us vegans really well and service was super quick! Yummy no B.S breakfast!

Love all worker in there. Blesssss

Great had breakfast and earl grey tea

Friendly staff, clean, tidy and good atmosphere

Everything about this family run business is superb. The food is excellent and great value. It's a lovely cafe with a great atmosphere. They also have a seperate takeaway that does hot abd cold food, drinks etc.

First time visiting, Really nice and clean. Cleaned my plate off and hash browns was perfect. Went for the vegetarian option and a mocha coffee. Service with a smile all in £10 actually not a £10, £9.50 it was good. Cheers

A proper walk in hot food takeaway, situated on the outer skirts of Bristol. There is plenty of street parking. The shop has a few items on shelves you could buy, mostly household goods, washing up liquid, tin foil, tins of beans, and a fridge with milk and soft drinks. The food is tasty and good value for money. Lots of baguette style breakfast options, burgers, jacket potatoes, chips... think food on the go! Good value for money a breakfast baguette with everything in it will set you back 7 quid. The staff are friendly and the food is ready very promptly. I go there for my Saturday breakfast, I love it 😀

Nice and homely !! The gentleman behind the counter needs to smile 😃 and be a bit more welcoming. The ladies were polite and the Veggie breakfast was out of the world. Well done all.

Very nice breakfasts clean and tidy And polite staff

Recently taken over by the former occupants of the Fountain Cafe and they've brought their fantastic food with them. Best English breakfast in Bristol in my opinion and I've sampled a fair few lol. No frills just good quality, well priced grub.

Quality Food. The Regular Breakfast is More than Value for the Money.

Great food at good prices with a friendly service

Cannot fault anything 10/10 all day long!

I really good food 😋 and staff member are lovely people 😊

Great bunch of people, can’t fault the food! But could do with a better system for when it’s busy to prevent mix ups

Great breakfast to be had here. Went on a Sunday but they informed us it was there last Sunday which was a shame. Food was great. And good value for money.

People from the shut Fountain cafe now running. Food quality did'nt seem to be the same but prices have gone up.

Very well located. Massively handy and convenient for any local fancying a fry up but most of it, used by the majority of the business staff from the companies situated around the area. Great 👍

Great prices and great service.

The food was great, nicely packed, and with care (cold stuff separated from the hot stuff), just a little remark regarding the tomatoes from the can, which could gladly be taken from next time and the fact that the bean's were covering the eggs, if you will put the fried eggs on top of beans will definitely be better. I will gladly order again. Tanks.

Not been here for over 20 years and OMG it's still absolutely brilliant!!

The Indian girl looked like she didn't want to be there. Food relatively OK. Didn't like the tomatoes in my takeaway breakfast. Too much.

Had a lovely breakfast and the staff are happy to help. Also don't forget the shop for milk and other groceries.

Passing by just as the cafe was closing, but such a cool 😎 guy there unlocked and opened the door and the team made me a takeaway drink. Such a friendly and welcoming gesture. That kind act shows what a great cafe and sandwich bar this is. Great customer care like this is so rare nowadays. Thank you to you all for today. I wish I was based closer to repeat purchase. 5 stars 🌟 and more.

Great spot for lunch or breakfast, staff are real friendly too

Best breakfest in UK ! Very friendly staff.

New owners have taken over. Weren't as good as the previous. Shame.

First time visit, order the big breakfast and was more than pleased with what i received. Very friendly staff, adequate seating and well cooked food. Will be returning whenever im in the area. *Update* . . . Have just revisited, and the second breakfast was just as good as the first! Great food, friendly welcoming host . . . Perfect.

Gillians is a bristol icon in its self its always been one of the best sandwiche shop here 4 stars because they use spread now instead of butter which is a real shame.

I've come here on and off over the years and always enjoy their breakfast baps however the new owners have brought along with them some proper tasty sausages rather than those bulk buy tasteless ones . Keep up the good work yummie

V good breakfast reasonable prices friendly staff

Full english this morning !!! Full oil soggy hash brown and chips, very very black burnt toast, 3 piece very tiny slice of dry mushroom 🤬🤬🤬and you charge me £8.50? I never ever order this place again 🤬🤬🤬

Breakfast bap is a winner although to big for some!!!

Love this place. Friendly staff, good food and value for money.

This place is magic and the food is 1st class best i had in a while

Best baps in Bristol 5 stars 1 star for my waste line

Decent breakfast roll not up to the standards of the Irish ones though

Love a good bacon and sausage sandwich on fresh crusty bread on a Saturday then look no further. Love Gillians

Excellent...good food, good prices nice people

The baps are ridiculous, never seen such a big bap, lovely

When you have new owners it's always different at first but not bad sandwich

Staff were awesome on Saturday not busy and food was up to value

Lovely food at a reasonable price

Friendly cafe, proper old school grub, good people

Friendly people but the food wasnt great

Affordable pricing and brilliant service

Just have a breakfast the guys are amazing and very friendly, the food is...... great!

Food is ok and reasonably priced. A previous rating I gave was 4 star, however they not enforcing face coverings mandate. I used to frequent Gillian's regularly, but wont enter the building knowing other selfish people have done so without wearing a face covering as it puts my elderly relatives at risk. It is not difficult to wear something when you are in the building, it is not a huge challenge, it is not a "breach of your rights", and it is for the benefit of your fellow Bristolians. Unless they do enforce this mandate, I will no longer buy from here meaning they have lost a long standing customer for life.

Always top notch service food and for the price can't go wrong

Some of the best food I’ve had in Bristol with super friendly and helpful staff!!

Excellent food and service, super friendly staff. Will definitely be returning!

Quaint little diner with pleasant staff and awesome breakfasts!

Amazing food & friendly staff! Every time I come to eat here, whether it be to takeaway or sit-down, I always have a great time!

Tasty food, fantastic staff and beautiful renovation. Can't recommend this place enough!

Only ever picked up sandwiches to take away but they're brilliant! Huge, delicious baguettes filled with tasty fillings, freshly made before your eyes. Usually have homemade cakes too. Also snacks, newspapers, milk and, rather randomly, paracetamol and ibuprofen!

Amazingly friendly staff, lovely foods, convenient location. Recent refurbishments make it a lovely place to stop off and have some good food. Love to all xx

Gillians is always fantastic! Their staff are very lovely and accommodating even during peak periods such as lunch and dinner times. As they're so popular there are times when they may not have what you wanted from their extensive menu however they're always happy to suggest something similar that you may like. Their food is very very good, their ingredients are delivered weekly so you know what you'll be getting is fresh! Personally I love their baps, which are absolutely humongous and bigger than my face, they're perfectly filled and inexpensive for what you get. They also stock pre-packaged snacks such as crisps and sweets which are priced at the usual price points but their crowning glory are the cakes they make! Their flapjack and rocky road in particular are to die for! There are also other bits and bobs that they keep in stock such as tinned food, pasta, and household cleaning supplies. Tl;dr It's amazing food especially for the price!!

Just had a egg and bacon very nice too!

Great food, plenty of it, at a great price

I had a simple saussage egg chips with beans. The saussages where warm eggs also On a plus chips where hot.

Great breakfast, fantastic staff, lovely new renovation. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. Highly recommend

Delicious homemade food, great service

Recently refurbished so everywhere is clean, nice and tidy. Excellent food, and customer service. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great service and amazing breakfast, thank you!

Food was great, a very decent full English at a standard Bristol price. The service on the other hand is what cuts the rating. However they don't mind when the rudeness is giving back.

Very friendly staff and so happy to help me! Also food in great quality at good price.

Food amazing really friendly and polite staff

Lovely breakfast and lovely people

Served me a frozen quiche. After waiting 30 minutes. Terrible place

Food good value for money recommended will definitely be going back

Chelsea, who served me was absolutely amazing! Anything I asked for she did for me right away. I don’t have any complaints so she should definitely get a pay rise!!

Lovely food, always fresh and reasonably well priced.
