Huntsman Taverners in South Gloucestershire

Came here for a family meal, could not fault the service. Food was piping hot. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely open plan pub, great atmosphere, bar staff were friendly and very welcoming,we ordered 4 meals which were delicious came out quickly and efficiently, food looked great very tasty and all meals came out hot, I would recommend a visit and we will definitely be back

Disappointed and will never return. First of all when we go up to the bar to order the waitress and kitchen member arguing infront of customers. We made our order and got told a long wait for food although it was us and one other table eating as the restaurant was empty. Our food came and the waitress got our order wrong we asked for nachos and got chips but Partner didnt want to make a fuss so he ate them. I ordered a steak medium well and got it very well done and inedible. Was waiting for the waitress to come and do a check back to say about my steak but she never came back! I paid £30 for 2 flat Pepsis a bowl of chips and my plate chips and peas. Very unhappy.

Lovely, comfortable & relaxed feeling. Had the rugby on but not so loud it interrupted the atmosphere. Didn't have food so I can't comment but will definitely go back for another drink sometime.

Really disappointing. Food had to be sent back as it was stone cold (lamb and beef), and when it came back was slimy and inedible. Simple things like ice cream sauce were messed up and that had to go back as well, and faced an argument with staff over it which was just not necessary. Most of the staff are nice , but can’t blame it on being busy as there’s barely anyone in here. Wouldn’t bother coming back. Shame as it was a birthday celebration.

The word "Generous" in the name is echoed in the quantity of food presented. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the menu offers something for everyone. We were in a party of 15, so I took everyone's drink and food order and placed the order at the bar under one table number. Ordering was quick and easy and we were provided trays to carry the drinks back to the table. A minute or so after the food order was placed a member of staff approached us just to confirm everything on the order, which was a nice touch. A short while after, the food started to be delivered to the table. Wow! Plate after plate after plate, with no delays. All of us had our food, totally correct, piping hot and perfect. The quality of the food was fantastic, nobody could complain about anything. Also, even though we ordered alcoholic drinks as well as soft drinks, the cost was still only about £10 a head. A fantastic place to eat, will definitely be returning soon :-)

Staff was brilliant, food was wonderful and served in a reasonable time. Jacket potatoes and chilli a good choice. Easy parking, and easy to locate, definitely worth checking out.

This was our first time to The Huntsman and I can say nothing but good things. The service was great. The food was incredible, I think all 7 of us cleared our plates. Lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go again.

Smallest portion of soup I've ever seen, with a texture more like mashed potato. The butter was liquid, croutons missing, and service was slow. On the plus side, the staff were friendly. Neither toilet had a working lock on the door, and the doors wouldn't stay shut.

Andy the landlord was friendly and welcoming and went beyond to make our visit worth coming for.. Food was exceptional.

The pub was busy, but we found somewhere to sit. 3 bar staff working so I didn't wait long to be served. We ordered food (hunter's chicken and a steak pie). Both dishes were really good, packed with flavour, steaming hot on hot plates. We were sitting near the children's area and it was noisy with kids screaming. Next time we will sit further away. Nice atmosphere in the pub and friendly landlady.

Perfect place for a family celebration. It can be so difficult to cater to all dietary needs, but here they made it simple. Large tables are available, too. Food was served hot (18 of us so not easy!), really good selection to choose from and so tasty. The staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for helping us celebrate. We will definitely be back.

Very friendly staff and the owners are fantastic. I will definitely visit again.

We went to the huntsman for the hive hangout tonight and we had a lovely time and we played pool 🎱 aswell

Does exactly what it says on the tin, good local good friendly people, food good value and drinks decent value. Good sized car park and electric chargers too!

We had a fantastic family get together here with the festive menu. The food was good and the service was great. Definitely recommend with something on the menu to suit everyone

Can’t comment on the food does look lovely however it says it’s open at 11 on there massive fancy sing out side and also online. I arrived and door was locked so rang up and the man on the phone said no no it’s 12 always has been then hung up abruptly won’t set foot in here again probably a blessing in disguise

We thoroughly enjoyed a Christmas lunchtime meal for our annual cousins get together. The food was hot & enjoyable and grest value for money. It was very relaxing & not rushed with time between courses. Table set out & looked lovely with Christmas crackers etc & all 17 of us seated together in the window which was perfect. The manager Andy couldn’t have been more accommodating & the young member of staff waiting on us was excellent. We couldn’t fault the service or food & had a very relaxing few hours in a warm welcoming atmosphere. Parking was easy too with two car parks which was an added bonus. I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. Thank you very much Andy & team for excellent service & a great lunchtime 👌

We booked a 3 course meal with a lot of friends on 14/12/2024 , staff was amazing and friendly also food was really good and worth every penny definitely recommended to anyone who is thinking of going

We went with friends for a Christmas meal and had a great time. Excellent meal with very friendly and attentive service and nice surroundings

Quite pleasant atmosphere although it still has the feel of a greasy spoon cafe. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I came with a large group for a Christmas meal and it was this that really disappointed me. I had Pate, turkey roast and Christmas pudding. The starter and dessert were ok but the turkey roast was awful. Very little meat, the vegetables, apart from the sprouts, were over-cooked. The roast potatoes looked more like soggy chestnuts - they wereover cooked and didn’t really look like roast potatoes at all. My wife had the same meal but hers looked fine and I got the distinct impression that mine was a leftover from a previous order that had been reheated. Had we not been with a group of friends, I would have complained immediately. I felt that I had been really let down and will think twice before going again.

We had a group booking for our drama group - 19 people....unfortunately 3 had to drop out due to illness - but a call to The Huntsman sorted it all out and the 3 were cancelled with no fuss. Our table was ready - with crackers and little wooden 'scatters' (not the usual shiny plastic!). Starters, mains and desserts all arrived quickly and hot food was really hot - nothing 'luke warm'. All meals were enjoyed and I heard no complaints about quality or quantity. (We had the festive menu which is not listed in the food to recommend in this review!) Staff were all friendly, pub looked festive and we all had a great evening. Many thanks!

Came for a Christmas lunch with 8 adults with learning disabilities, and my 2 colleagues. The place looked lovely and inviting, with the table set nicely for our festive meal. The first course was really nice. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Venue, atmosphere and amenities were all great.

Well, where do I start… firstly what a FANTASTIC pub!! We booked our works Christmas party here table of 16. This was also on a busy trading evening, as it is . Let alone our party! The pub has such a cosy and welcoming ora. Beautifully decorated due to the Christmas season. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, they can’t do enough for you. The food is absolutely delicious, hot tasty and well presented! The staff and chief catered for my mother who is vegan/vegetarian. My mum even said this is the best Christmas dinner she’s ever had!!! All our work colleagues said, what a beautiful pub! And honestly outstanding food. I would recommend anyone to the huntsman. It’s shame other pubs don’t provide this service!!! All starters, mains and desserts we could not fault! We will be definitely be booking here next festive season! Can’t recommend enough!!!! Thank you!

I always have a lovely time when I pop in, normally for a few drinks. But when I've had food it's always been to a high standard. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and the landlords have been brilliant everytime I've been in. On the few instances where I've been served a dead pint its been sorted with no issue. All in all, it's a cracking pub with lovely people who make it a pleasure to visit. Also it has probably the best smoking shelter I've come across in bristol.

Me and family came for food great service great food lovely time by us all staff were fantastic thankyou all

We had our Darts Christmas meal there last night. For 14 of us Ladies. The Staff and meal was absolutely Outstanding!! Best home cooked Christmas dinner ever.the starters and Puddings were divine 😋 and the 3 course meal was very reasonable. We had a wonderful time . We definitely recommend them We will definitely be back .And will be re bookings for next year. Great Job to everyone. You were amazing. Thank you 😊

We had a table booked for 5 for 12noon, we really enjoyed the food and the staff were all SO friendly. Lady behind the bar was really friendly and happy. Would definitely go back for another visit and would recommend to others. Both are dogs were allowed in and sit with us whilst we had Sunday lunch. Sunday lunch was huge and really nice.

Great pub, no faults whatsoever.

We had a great evening for our daughter’s 16th birthday. They were very accommodating to our family of 25. Food was great, venue was lovely and decorated for Halloween. We all had a brilliant time. Thank you

Overall this was a really nice pub/restaurant the food was perfectly cooked and reasonably priced, it was busy with a great atmosphere my only gripe is the service wasn't great we waited at least ten minutes to get a drink whilst watching the locals get served almost immediately.

Great local pub. Good selection of beers and ciders.

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.

Met up as a alternative venue as a group of 12 because our usual venue was fully booked Food was excellent wide choice and reasonably priced found Staff very friendly and a vey relaxing atmosphere will definitely be back

Typical chain pub food. Service was quick but food was just ok

Loved this Place, would Certainly Recommend it to anyone else who might be interested in going there for a Drink 🍸 or Meal 🍔🍽. Good Service, Bar Staff are very Welcome and Friendly, Helpful and Polite. XXX.

Not overly busy this evening but had a great time in the pub met the landlord and landlady and had a drink with them both very friendly excellent service and all in all good evening would highly recommend.

Came in for the quiz night on a Sunday was absolutely amazing then came in again for the musical bingo on Monday evening. Was a brilliant night! Food was amazing quick service despite it being a sale out event! Would 100% come back again. Also dog friendly which is a massive help

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

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

The lady behind the bar, taking orders & serving drinks was particularly kind, friendly & helpful.

Great welcome, exceptional food, dog friendly - love coming here to eat

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.

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

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.

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

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

The most welcoming landlords ever! Always has a good vibe

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
