Huntsman Taverners in South Gloucestershire

Wonderful for families peaceful atmosphere. Staff are great prices are very reasonable with ample parking a play area for children and the food came out promptly. Spoke to Andy and char who are wonderful and happy to help. Good pint too. Thank everyone at the huntsman.

Attended the musical bingo event at the huntsman on arrival staff were very polite and punctual great atmosphere all evening.Brought a cowboy burger meal food and service was excellent will definatly be returning in the near future

Excellent meal and nice friendly staff that were very helpful. Will definitely be going there again. Really nice friendly atmosphere

Not verry nice to sit in verry dull wasn't cheap but not expensive but sould tell the chips are frozen food came out chips all burnt burger wasn't good at all taste like a foot no flavour be good for a child or an oap maybe

Held a suprise graduation celebration her for my daughter and ordered buffet though the pub. Buffet was really good and guests commented on how nice the food was. Stacey and Andy were so helpful all evening and nothing was to much trouble. They really did make the evening so special for us.

Food is okay. Always plenty of room to sit or stand.

Lovely pub with a good atmosphere lovely food and attentive staff well worth the couple of extra pounds compared to other pubs in the area.

Excellent pint of Courage Directors. Very good food. Really nice polite staff. Highly recommend.

Friendly helpful staff Clean and vibrant pub Good valve food Great beer choice

The most welcoming landlords ever! Always has a good vibe

Always treat nice by staff food is always spot on even my cheesy chips and gravy always make me feel like a bristonian

Pub grub at exspected, cheapish and taste good

I like the food good staff Andy is very good bar staff very good the huntsman very best good gin food very nice come out very nice the food come quick

Great food service was great and friendly staff drinks prices were reasonable would come again

Twice been in there and they’ve had 1 grotty ale on tap, that’s it. What pub only has 1 ale?? Plenty of the other commercial rubbish

Just went for drinks when Euros were on. Didn't have food but I'm sure it's great

All food is Fantastic. The Steak & Burgers r amazing. Well worth the money 🤩 All Staff are great

Really friendly, happy, atmosphere. Good attentive service. Excellent food. Caters for all ages. Andy is a great host.

Had a lovely meal tonight. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Meals came out fast and hot! Thank you will recommend to our friends!

Absolutely awesome great food staff are very good and friendly and great cars on a Tuesday evening

I visited The Huntsman with my young (and fussy) daughter but the kids menu is fab and you can choose exactly what you want, so she was in her element. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming and we were served promptly, they even came over to ask my daughter about the game she was playing which I thought was lovely even though the pub itself was pretty busy. The food was amazing and came out quickly but was piping hot, everything was cooked to perfection and tasted so good, the youngest even said how nice it was, the guys in the kitchen were also great when she was being nosey and wanted to look through the window into the kitchen, the wave (along with the ice cream sundae) made her day! The young man who served us was very polite and helpful too, he couldn’t do enough for us. There was a great atmosphere throughout the pub, the new landlords have turned this place around. The music was great too, will recommend and will definitely be back!

Visited on Tuesday night to see the classic cars outside in the car park. Weather wasn't great but the kids enjoyed seeing the old style American cars and we got a burger while we were there as they had a deal on.

Huge call out to Maddie, we were a table of 11 so all a little manic, Maddie was superb, friendly, doubled checked our orders and recalled the specifics when bringing out our meals - really appreciated and shows true customer care

Amazing pub great food an great staff an management

Very nice decor and coloured scheme for table and chairs very good parking for disabled . Very good sitting area outside to enjoy the sunny weather very good for dog owners because you can bring your dogs here. One thing I would say the food is ok for quick meal. The service was OK at bar with drinks and ordering food but when the staff came to clear plates away from us she did not clear all four plates away from our table she left one behind and did not come back to clear it. I feel this is very wrong and bad service and atmosphere was very quiet we were only family in here today eating. I feel I would not rush back here.

Called in for quick drink at lunchtime didn't eat ...pub was clean and tidy friendly staff 👍

I booked a wake here on Sat 25/5/24 for 40 ppl and everyone said how good it was. Andy (the manager) couldn’t do enough to ensure the event went smoothly, from discussing food requirements & timings (before the event) & checking all was OK during & after the event. The buffet food was good & plentiful with labels on the vegetarian platters. Later in the evening a number of people in our group ordered meals and said they enjoyed their meal. The pub was clean & bright & the staff friendly and helpful. There was also live music from 8pm (not arranged for our event) and the singer was absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend the Huntsman to anyone wanting a good meal, lovely environment & excellent service.

Can't rate the food as we had already eaten elsewhere. But we can say the staff were very friendly and the place was buzzing. Clearly a popular spot for locals. But plenty of space for us to relax with a few drinks and play card games. Reasonable prices for the drinks as well.

Come here every week for our family outing, food is amazing and the staff are very friendly. My son also loves the American car show on a Tuesday evening. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice relaxed meal with a friendly atmosphere.

Been here twice in the last week for food. Twice they wouldn’t serve us. Once they seen us walk in at half 7 looking at menus went up a few minutes past 8 and they then approached us saying the kitchen shut at 8. The second time they refused us due to the chef having a melt down and “were to busy” even though there was no one with food on there tables will definitely not return for food.

Went not wanting food.. walked in the smell was something else.. prices reasonable, be totally honest would of paid more.. the staff was lovely so welcoming.. was a pub I use to go but didn't like it.. new landlords literally new atmosphere.. would recommend to anyone, family or lush night out with out the kids lol.. seriously one to try!!xx

Chef threw a wobbly apparently it was busy and a big order was put in for food and he. Stopped taking any more food orders for 30 mins. We got up to leave and barman told us he would sort it food was fine but will think about next time. No camra discount or blue light discount as in other Marston pubs. Probably not returning

Needed a local and bingo, the huntsman did it. Great chance to catch up with close friends witha decent range of beers.

Food and bar staff were amazing however the landlord seemed bothered by our booking and was rude by telling us to hurry with our order.

This is such a lovely pub and the food is amazing, however the service is extremely slow. My last experience here I was waiting over45 minutes for two meals, this occurred when the pub was quiet and had hardly any people. Highly disappointed as the food here is great and I always enjoy my meal but the service unfortunately brings the rating down.

Food here is amazing, it is perfect every time. However the service is extremely slow. They only have 1 person on bar as well as 1 person bringing the food out. I have been waiting 35 minutes for a single meal when the pub is particularly quiet.

Great local venue. Staff are friendly food is great. Highly recommended from a quick pint or night out !

Food was good the service from the bar staff was amazing however the landlord was very rude spoilt the experience

Very friendly pub that has daily food deals at good prices. Welcoming staff and good vibe. Very clean and tidy. Dog friendly which helps even when sitting outside.

We went to the Huntsman for a family meal , there were 10 of us , the staff were outstanding , welcoming , exceptionally accommodating. The food was excellent , every meal cooked to perfection. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

My meal was excellent but my brother's steak was chewe

Great food and staff very friendly will be back.

Meal was very nice and plenty on the plate. Didn't have to wait too long.

A big thank you to Andy and his team at the Huntsman. We held mums wake here and Andy did a great job. After a quick phone call and a 10 minute meeting Andy had sorted everything out for me,the room, extra staff and the buffet which by the way was excellent. I was kept up to date with txt n phone calls which at a difficult time for the family was one less thing to worry about. I have no hesitation in recommending Andy and all the staff at the Huntsman.Im sure they would do a great job hosting any family party or get together. Once again,thank you.

Really nice food here, especially if you like a proper bit of fish & chips.

Friendly staff great food, didn’t wait long for our food to arrive.

Usual pub food , hunters chicken very over cooked and portion small ,but server was excellent ,nothing was to much trouble.

Beautiful pub, lovely staff and delicious food.

We popped into the huntsman today for a Monday rainy day treat. The food was amazing! The steak was cooked to perfection, the chicken kebab was banging, so tasty, the kids cheeseburger was lush too, wr all had clean plates! Desert was really good too, all such great value too. Lovely warm pub, I would highly recommend.

Lovely family pub, went on Sunday for the roast, they do have all the classics as well as vegetarian meals on offer, very nice looking meals for the price. Nice place for families, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. BUT if your looking for a quite pub then best avoid. Like all local pubs they have a pool table which attracts the teenagers which can be noisy. Overall if your looking for somewhere reasonable with a good atmosphere then this could be for you.

Fantastic great food atmosphere quite which is good for Sunday long wait for meal but worth the wait ✋️

Tiny portions cold frozen veg undercooked roast potatoes very disappointing. This place isn't what it used to be

Lovely staff, kind to my mum. We like taking her for a meal there as its near her flat.

Myself and my partner have ate here now on numerous occasions, the food is absolutely fantastic! Wide selection of starters, mains and desserts. They offer burger, pizza and curry deals for amazing prices. The quality and presentation exceeds expectations. Everything is cooked from fresh you can really tell the difference in comparison to other pubs. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and happy to help with any questions or enquires. Wide selection of beers, ciders, larger and spirits which is also reasonably priced. The huntsman has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. All bar and tables and toilets are kept clean and well maintained. In the summer this will be hotspot as of the front seating area. I would highly recommend this pub to absolutely anyone. What a lovely experience. I will undoubtedly be returning!!

We love coming to this pub for lunch .Jayden is such a lovely bar man,and the manager has made it so welcoming! I recommend the lasagne and the cheese and bacon baguettes Really lovely cook Thank you so much lovely food lovely staff

Such a lovely pub, the manager allowed me to throw my baby shower here and it was so lovely. Staff are attentive and caring. Food is always great. Yhe kids loved the play section. Thank you so much

What an amazing turnaround by the new owners. I was dubious when my niece was holding her baby shower here due to previous visits. There was need. Absolutely amazing service, very friendly environment. Menu looks amazing so will def return. Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome.

I would highly recommend the food here. I had the special of the day which was Lamb shank. It was absolutely delicious. It’s a lovely place to eat. The staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Really nice place, great service, desserts were really nice, the lunch time specials were slightly underwhelming though, definitely not half a breast on the Hunters chicken.... overall though, a pleasant lunch!

Had an excellent meal here with friends. The pub is comfortable and welcoming, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed our food which was well cooked, well presented, and reasonably priced. It was my third visit here and I will definitely be back again soon.

Food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will be returning in the near future. An enjoyable lunchtime.

I heard about the new management so decided to go for a birthday meal with my family, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The food came out piping hot and was cooked to perfection. Friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning!

The service was amazing the food was delicious very reasonably priced 10/10 will be there again

Lovely, family friendly pub. Very clean with friendly bar staff and good range of drinks. Enjoyed a nice night out with friends here, and looking forward to Spring when we can ride our bikes as its only a stones throw off the cycle path.

Welcoming staff polite and pleasant good food and service enjoy our time

It's a great atmosphere in this place! We went for a family meal for my dad's birthday and the service was great. Our server was called Madi and she was quick and efficient with what everyone wanted. Also the food was amazing, and we had a fabulous time eating here.

Awful! Such a shame as we’re local and would love to be able to visit this pub regularly but won’t ever return. Waited over an hour for our meals and not only no apology but actually told it was our fault as we ordered under the wrong table number which was not true! The cheek of it!! The Sunday roast was bad and kids vegi burger was two unedible nuggets overcooked to the max! Avoid at all costs I’d say! So many other nice pubs/eateries locally that will be getting our business from now on.

Asked for well done steak. It came out rear. No steak knife. Sent it back to be cooked. Came out just as bad. Blood all over plate. Asked for fish n chips instead eventually came after partner had finished his. No tartare sauce had to ask for it. Fish was bland. Chips were fine. No genuine apology from manager. Just said 'hope this doesn't stop you guys coming back'. I never complain before in my life. Felt compelled to write this review

My friends and I enjoyed a lovely evening with lovely food, friendly staff and lots of chatting😃. One of us is wheat intolerant, another is diabetic, and another lactose intolerant but we always manage to find something on the menu. Thankyou

Had lasagne salad and chips My daughter had hunters chicken And my friend had bougete Really hot food The pub has new management and staff are very friendly and we had a lovely time Food was hot and the pub looks really clean and welcoming Many thanks

We had the Festive menu the food was outstanding the Manager was really nice and the barman was so polite. We've already booked again. Would definitely recommend 👌🏼 5*

The staff were friendly, the food came out really quickly. It was delicious and worth the price paid. will definitely eat here again.

Newly opened under new management. I recommend this place. Not busy when we dined but it was early evening. Looks like s good Christmas lunch too.

We only went in as it was local to friends after a funeral. The place has changed since I was last there in 1979 :) The staff seemed friendly enough, and all mucked in to serve the drinks I ordered, quickly.

Went in for a meal but was served short measure beer even after top up. Table was slightly less tacky than Wetherspoon's (sorry spoons ).

We went to the huntsman for dinner and it was so lush

Very friendly and helpful staff, food was also really good

We had the most amazing Sunday lunch at the Huntsman in Downend. We were greeted by two lovely ladies,Alexia and Nadine, who couldn't do enough for us, they were great, really friendly and so welcoming. The manager was behind the bar and he was lovely and so helpful. The other manager was the person who cooked the meal, it was outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Huntsman to anyone, with these people on duty for the day, you want for nothing. Thank you everyone from table 23. Oh this is our second visit because the first was so good.

46 minute wait for food even with a booking. Chips were lovely and gravy. Pie overcooked. Very hard. Chicken and burger lovely. Reasonably priced. Pint of Thatchers £5.10!!

Food was terrible , came out cold , hardly any chips more like a kids portion , chicken was very dry !! Not what you expect when you are paying £12 for a burger , avoid halloumi fries absolutely terrible!!

Very good Atmosphere. Lovely place.

Came for Sunday lunch certainly wasn’t disappointed. Great service lovely tender meat and fresh vegetables good value for money. The only reason I’ve given a 4 not a five star rating the roast potatoes were disappointing frozen potatoes with fresh veg very soggy not crispy. But would come again

Friendly staff, Leah was especially welcoming and Maddie 🫶 and Nath was a great laugh. Happy atmosphere throughout the pub. Food was yummy.

Really quiet & peaceful. Good service & good food! To me, I was spoilt for choice over the menu!! Left booking a table last minute & arrived earlier than expected for booking. Despite early arrival, very accommodating (may be something to do with the pub being quiet!!). Very pleased with the service, food & atmosphere. .

Quite shocking. Argumentative chef telling me could not do a mega mixed grill as didn’t have all the ingredients but can cook a mixed grill. Daughter ordered the £8.25 fish and chips and ended up with fish fingers, my fiancée ordered Hunters chicken that was burnt- both returned and waited another 15mins for fresh food for them and my son and I ate ours whilst waiting. Was supposed to be daughters 7th birthday treat. To top it off ordered pudding and daughter ordered mini donuts, choc sauce with strawberries and they had no strawberries! Very disappointing. The 2 female staff serving us were great.

Great pub. Great atmosphere. Staff are fantastic, especially a young lady called Leah. She was so understanding and patient even in a rather tough situation. Thank you

Very good. I had a table booked for 12 people. I rang ahead and said five would not be attending and they are very understanding and arrange a table for seven people. The food was very good, although when there was no pigs in blankets, the staff were very friendly and went to the kitchen straight away and got us some and extras.

We arrived for our booking and due to technical issues with kitchen equipment the kitchen was closed. Soooo disappointed and very grumpy children. It would of been nice to of been informed prior to our arrival

The most appalling food and service I have ever experienced. Sticky dirty tables. Disgusting food. Basics - like having to ask for cutlery twice, empty condiment containers. Portion sizes were tiny, orders wrong, service slow. Didn’t get a receipt for our order so cannot verify how long we actually waited but it was about 45 mins and the pub is empty. Eggs cooked in dirty oil - covered in black bits. Burnt black burgers. Manager had an attitude before we’d even told him about our concerns. Absolutely fuming with the whole experience and I am not usually one complain about anything. The standard of food and service was simply unacceptable.

Entered the restaurant and saw it to be quiet and was shown to our seats. And the food was done quickly and was very nice.

The place was clean, tidy and very welcoming. Staff were welcoming, polite, professional, very quick service. Menu had a lot of choice to cater for everyone and food was delicious. Would definitely recommend to everyone and will definitely be back soon.

On arrival at 12.35 found pub almost deserted. Ordered at the bar and 12.45, food served 45 minutes later.simple order of cod and chips twice. Had to approach bar to get served. Bar girl on her own, the only person front of house.She blamed staff shortage in bar and kitchen.She gave the impression of the attitude”couldn’t care less.” No way will we ever return.

Had a Lovely Sunday Roast! Good value for the money! Staff are very friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to go there again!

Really excellent Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price, staff very friendly and can’t wait to visit for Sunday lunch again soon

Popped in as a family for an early/mid afternoon Sunday lunch and we all really enjoyed it! Between us we had beef and turkey, both of which were lovely, and everything else was cooked perfectly. At a reasonable price and with friendly service, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Really lovely service and excellent food! Nice variety on the menu too. Nice atmosphere - would definitely recommend!

I am new to the area and decided to try out a couple of local pubs on the area. I had always known about the Huntsman and knew it was a popular pub in Downend so decided to visit. It had been raining all day and I took a new expensive umbrella with me. Upon leaving, I must’ve forgotten my umbrella as I got picked up to go home. As I remembered the next day I tried to contact The Huntsman via Facebook messenger to which my message was read. I thought I would give a few days for them to reply. Nearly a week later I chased this again and the messages were read and ignored once more. I called whoever is in charge of the social media out on this and I was then blocked from messaging them - poor service and an umbrella down. I found this remarkably strange as the service by the staff has been excellent in the few times I have visited. I did pop in, in person to ask about the umbrella but I think by this point too much time has passed.

Amazing and fast service from the bar staff, food arrived quickly and was nicely presented. Will definitely be coming back!

Just had 3 adults meals and a child's meal the food was beautiful and the service was outstanding thank you Michelle and Jon and all the staff we will be back again cheers wez julie Harry and logan
