This was our first visit. A great place to come to eat, have a coffee or something stronger, and enjoy the informal friendly welcome and atmosphere. The menu looked tempting and although we only had coffees and cake and ham and cheese croquettes we shall return for something more substantial. Recommended. Dogs warmly welcomed.

Really disappointed with our meal and service today at Hawks House. We had a table for 8 people for Sunday lunch. I ordered the vegan roast and when it arrived after a very long wait, there was a piece of beef on my quorn. They had obviously used meat gravy on my vegan meal. I then ordered a lentil curry and this was so salty I couldn’t eat it. No manager came to apologise. Other meals in our party didn’t turn up, they ran out of Yorkshire puds even though the place was empty and the portion were very small. It’s was an awful experience, I walked out still hungry and will not be returning.

Been visiting HH on and off for years but it is so hit and miss. The service is so slow even when it is practicly empty. Popped in for a coffee and sourdough toast and if you can't get that right there are problems. If i want seeded sliced bread then i'll pop to Aldi myself. The chef cannot even toast the bread correctly. On a positive the coffee was good. But then again it is equally good in the lounge where you will get sourdough!

Went here with family from abroad. Usually a safe bet, but only one person working behind the bar and front of house - they were really polite and helpful. 4 out of 5 meals were prepared poorly or burnt. Not as good as it used to be. Other lounge type bar in the area are now way above this in every sense.

Hawkes House brought their House Box to our anniversary party. They barbecued for us on site, a veggie feast. Everyone loved the food, and gave loads of positive feedback. It really helped our event to be a success. Thank you so much!

Lovely little place in Thornbury. We were able to sit outside because of the weather being so nice. To be honest I did think £10.50 for 3 scoops of ice cream and a smoothie was quite expensive, but then maybe that’s just me. It was a lovely treat though. Quick service and was also cleared away quickly which is good because of the weather + wasps etc.

Came here for a late breakfast/brunch with friends. found a table and ordered at the bar which was fine but then it took ages to receive our order. we only saw one waitress the whole time we were there. she would bring out one drink for one table and then the next drink would be for a completely different table, lots of people receiving half of their order and still waiting for the rest. Some tables nearby were complaining that they ordered coffee over 40 mins ago and still waiting while others had arrived and been served before them! some of our table received their food before the drinks arrived. just very unorganised! prices are cheap but you get what you pay for, sourdough bread is 2 thin breadsticks, eggs were over cooked and not runny. coffee was cold. couldn't complain because there wasn't any staff around and no one returned to ask if our food was ok.

Experiencing a very stressful day with a relative in hospital, we call in to Hawkes House for lunch. We were met by a very friendly Jenny and made our order. It arrived timely and good quality. The cup of tea was very much needed and very good. It was topped off with a passionate knowledgeable briefing in the buildings history, by Jenny. Jenny’s caring comments as we were leaving showed her friendliness. Thank you.

Haven’t been here for a while. Service was ok . One set of drinks arrived quite quickly and the other drinks ordered at the same time arrived after the food , I had to remind them about the rest of the drinks order . The breakfast itself I don’t think was worth the £12.50 price tag . One sausage, one bacon, one poached egg, about half a dessert spoonful of “homemade “ beans and the thinnest slice of black pudding I’ve ever seen (almost a shaving) . A few small mushrooms a slice of baguette bread and some cooked cherry tomatoes. Oh and a piece of over-fried hash brown. Although it was edible I found it very disappointing. Will I return. I doubt it.

Sad to say but this place did not hit the spot. Went for a sneaky bottle of wine on a Sunday (no kids) and we won't rush back. The wine was cold, the atmosphere was cold and so was the temperature. Shamless to say but we went to a chain (lounge) afterwards for a cocktail and we will go back there next time. It was warm, cocktails were great and so was the atmosphere. Gutted as we would much prefer to support an independent business.

Disappointed with the full breakfast, only 1 rasher of bacon, 1 egg and a small slice of sourdough toast considering the price. The homemade beans weren’t particularly nice, would prefer actual baked beans instead. Overall the interior felt a little grubby, tables need a good wipe, menus were dirty, cushion on the chair was dirty and no checked back during the meal to see if everything was ok. Won’t be going back!

Popped in a few times this weekend dodging the rain and needing recharge phones from playing Pokemon! All the drinks we got were great, the luxury hot chocolate looked really impressive! Complimentary smarties definitely appreciated! Chocolate brownie yesterday was one of the best I've ever had! ❤ Full breakfast this morning was gorgeous, and you really should put the mac and cheese with bacon on the permanent menu, it's way too good to be a special! Atmosphere great, staff professional and cheerful, loved seeing other people's dogs. If I'm ever Pokemoning around here again I'll definitely come back!

I had a terrible experience with the food here. The sandwich I received was not up to the standard I was expecting and the waitress agreed.

Great asthetic and theme of the restaurant however the service was quite slow. Took around 20 minutes for our food to get given to our table however the staff was really nice. The food was the main reason i gave such a low review, the halloumi fries were very rubbery and bit stale whilst the burgers were small and the meat seemed undercooked. But the presentation was amazing! Would partially recommend.

I’m a fairly regular visitor of Hawkes House. I like the chilled vibe and menu. So I was eagerly awaiting the renovations and new menu to be complete. I took my mum there as my treat to her. No one greeted us or showed us to our reserved table. It’s also no longer table service. We had to find it ourselves. They didn’t have a cocktail menu available as ‘the new ones hadn’t been delivered’. We did order cocktails, but one of the cocktails was unavailable as they didn’t have the ingredients for the new menu? Waited 40 minutes for cocktails to be brought to table. We both ordered Bibimbap (which weren’t like a classic Bibimbap), mine was vegan chicken. However it was not stated on the menu that the vegan chicken was bread crumbed - I’m gluten free, but after waiting some time, I didn’t have the energy to say anything (I’m only intolerant). No one came to check on us after food service, to see if everything was okay with our meal. I then went to order desserts for myself and my mum at the bar, but was informed the kitchen had closed. It would have been nice to have been told the closure time when ordering at the beginning of the evening, so we could have got our order in earlier (Hawkes House wasn’t due to close until an hour later, so we thought we had plenty of time). Finally, when paying the bill, again we weren’t asked how our meal was. I think it’s unfortunate, as I used to love Hawkes House, but sadly that’ll be my last visit.

The atmosphere and decor here are great, a really nice, independent restaurant. However, although the burger was good, the bibimbap was disappointing - it seems strange to offer something as unusual as this (and get me excited) and then do it badly. Nothing like the Korean style bibimbap unfortunately.

Overall, the staff are friendly and polite. However, lately the opening times have been annoyingly erratic. I wouldn't know what time it eventually opens on the days it doesn't at the stated time of 7:30am, but most of the Costa customers go to Coffee 1 as a result. That's not good business sense.
