Came here with friends for Sunday lunch and I had the most delicious vegan roast. Everything was cooked to perfection, the gravy was amazing, and the Yorkshire pudding was suitably massive. We'll be back!

Amazing front of house service by Eoin, we had a small medical emergency and he was amazing, really calmed us down and sorted everything out. The house wine was delicious and the chef, I think his name was Alex. Very dishy and the food, phenomenal.

Mi esposa y yo cenamos en The Kenny el sábado por la noche. Somos asiduos aquí, pero habíamos metido la pata en que pensamos que habíamos reservado una mesa, pero, cuando revisamos nuestra bandeja de entrada, no había confirmación. Todavía nos sacudimos, pero encontramos que definitivamente no había reserva. Sin embargo, el personal fue brillante y logró instalar una mesa que alguien acababa de desalojar. Desde allí fuimos atendidos por el brillante Hamish - no podría haber hecho más. Cuando me senté me di cuenta de que había un maravilloso porro sentado en el mostrador de la cocina - se veía simplemente delicioso. Fui y hablé con Oscar, el jefe de cocina, quien me dijo cómo lo había cocinado. Mi esposa y yo nos sentamos entonces - pedimos el filete compartido, como de costumbre, y nos sentamos y esperamos a que se cocinara. Resultó perfectamente preparado y con un lado (grande! ) de papas para compartir, y una hermosa salsa de queso azul. A medida que empezamos a arroparnos también nos compraron un slick de cortesía del porro, cortesía de Oscar, y fue simplemente impresionante. Qué agua la boca. Pulimos eso y el filete, las papas fritas y la salsa, junto con un par de vasos de vino tinto. A eso le siguió un pastel de stick ale y helado. Ahora estábamos muy agradablemente llenos. El Kenny, en nuestra mente, es uno de los mejores restaurantes de Bristol. La comida es excelente. El personal es excelente, amable y atento. La cerveza está fría y el vino tinto sabe delicioso. No puedo recomendar el lugar lo suficientemente alto.

He visitado el Kenny un par de veces, una para una comida corporativa en uno de sus comedores privados y más recientemente para una cena asada con algunos amigos. Ambas experiencias han sido increíbles la comida es increíble, todo hecho con productos locales. El personal es muy acogedor y atento. Este es el mejor asado que he tenido en Bristol, cada aspecto de la cena fue cocinado a la perfección, carne tierna, asados crujientes pero esponjosos con una generosa porción de sabrosa verdura, lo más destacado es el brócoli y queso de puerro, por supuesto! Muchas gracias a Matt, Oscar & Amel por cuidarnos. 🫶🏼

Brilliant food (Sunday Lunch) and excellent service. Have met friends here twice and really enjoyed both visits. Very good price/quality ratio for both wine and food. Menu interesting and varied but not fussy. They are lucky to have such a good chef who knows what she or he is doing as well as pleasant bar staff. Wine by the bottle very reasonably priced too. Will return again and again now we’ve found it.

Was expecting so much more from here. I read about the pub and followed them on Instagram and they appeared to offer high quality food. The beef fillet, even though we asked for rare, it arrived and it was thin cut and medium and the thick cut chips were insipid looking but we were hungry so ate them. However, the white onion soup we had for our starter was delicious. We should’ve had two bowls each of the soup for a fraction of the price of a thin overcooked fillet steak. Service was friendly and efficient though. Hoping tonight was an off night otherwise wouldn’t recommend to any friends or family in Bristol.

Re-branding as a chop house and grill was an intriguing and perhaps misguided decision for what is a pretty pricey Redland pub. This has resulted in a bit of an identity crisis. Bad move.

As vegetarians, we were looking forward to trying the veggie Sunday roast at our first visit to the Kensington Arms. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. It absolutely delivered in terms of taste. The main and deserts were delicious. Our criticism comes from the portion size. We were given three small roast potatoes each and a couple of small dishes of sides between the two of us. One of the ramekin size pots had broccoli and cauliflower cheese. With only one floret of cauliflower, we ended up sharing that. For the price we paid for lunch, the value for money wasn’t there and that was disappointing. The food itself was fabulous and delicious and can’t be faulted. But sadly, the portion size of the side dishes for two people were, sorry to have to say, on the mean side. A pot of sides per diner would have been appropriate given the small size of them.

Had veggie roast today on our 2nd visit. Overall food very good. Feels slightly steep re price, paying nearly £90 for a main, dessert, and 1 drink each for two people. Service friendly though took a while for orders to be taken. Dog friendly which is a good plus. Veg and meat roasts here are same price which is not something we are used to as veg options generally cheaper elsewhere. The veg roast itself was very tasty, really enjoyed, however the serving size is on the small side, so you are wishing for more.

In a word, disappointing. Came here with high expectations. Nice atmosphere and looks like a good gastro pub. We came for the supposedly renowned Sunday Roast, but unfortunately the food was poor and severely overpriced (for info, they charge £27.50 for two courses, £35 for three). Our order: 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert, two pints and two glasses of mid-range wine: £110. Starter: a pork and black pudding terrine which was quite nice, the chutney was good but no better than a standard caramelised onion chutney, and a handful of cornichons. There was only one small piece of toast to go with it which was stingy - there should be at least two given the portion. 6/10 Main: the roast beef, where to start... first point to make is that most of the dish was room temperature or cold upon arrival. Two small slices of beef, where a quarter of each slice was fat. The actual beef was tasty, but a stingy portion and poor quality. Roast potatoes were not crunchy or seasoned, the Yorkshire pudding tasted like it had been left out for a long time, and had no flavour, I didn't notice the celeriac and thyme puree on the plate though it's stated on the menu, the singular roasted heritage carrot was ok, mixed greens were cold and flavourless, the cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese was very undercooked, a tiny portion of beetroot and no peas, although they are stated on the menu. The gravy was thin but had flavour, although a tiny portion which didn't even cover the plate, and the red cabbage which was sweet and rich and probably the best item on the plate. All in all, very disappointing and measly portions! 2/10 Wine: The English rosé and valpolicella ripasso, good but expensive for glasses; £7/8 for small and £11/12 for 250ml. 6/10 Dessert: shared the sticky ale pudding, nice but tasted like every other sticky toffee pudding. 6/10 Some extra points: The salt grinder did not work, which should have been checked before service. The tap water did not taste fresh, not sure if this was the water, ice or glasses. It wasn't just us who were disappointed; a person next to us sent the roast beef back as it was too fatty, and was then presented with either the same plate again, or a very similar looking serving. Can't imagine they were very pleased! Given the setting, reviews and prices, we expected excellent food, but it is a very poor roast and absolutely not value for money. I hope the management sees this and drastically improves the quality, portions and service time once plated (given the cold food) of the dishes. Would not recommend.

Lacking the amosphere of a pub and the quality of a restaurant, this place remains surprisingly popular.

Went for the roast beef Sunday lunch, excellent friendly staff and service The meal however disappointed from the first roast potato which was hollow and so hard my knife skipped off it, the second spud was the same and unfortunately, once in the mouth, inedible. The Beef was ok but I wasn’t prepared to eat a meal comprised only of beef. I asked for a doggy bag in the end for my Border Collies…which the staff were fine with. I told them I was disappointed and the charge was dropped. I’m not a complainer normally and I hope it was a “bad day” and not the standard fayre.

It’s twice now I’ve been disappointed by The Kenny. We had the rarebit to start and although the flavours complimented each other, the bread base was very stale. The main was also a huge disappointment as it was severed in a large plate which just highlighted the small portions; I ordered the medium rare rump and I was only served two very thin and chewy slices. We also ordered the brownie for desert and we were served the corner which is usually our favourite part but it was burnt to the point it was black and parts were solid. It is safe to say we will not be coming back. We also paid £30 ahead of the reservation. It also isn’t baby/toddler friendly as it’s all a bit tight and no space for a highchair.

We were highly disappointed by our experience here. We took our family for a Sunday lunch, having read all the wonderful reviews, and it sadly did not meet our expectations at all. The food was lukewarm, barely any gravy. My sister actually asked for more gravy and it never arrived. My husbands meat was actually cold. And the portions were tiny, like they had run out or something. I'm not the sort of person who likes a huge roast dinner but this was the smallest one I've ever been served and we go out for Sunday lunch a lot. To top it all off, we'd paid a £60 deposit when we booked, which we'd sort of forgotten about, turns out the staff had too as they charged us the full amount, thankfully we realised as we were about to drive off and went back in. The funny thing is they weren't even remotely surprised about this, nor did they apologise, just got the card machine and issued the refund. We definitely won't be going back.

Always a joy to eat at The Kenny, and this relaxed business lunch was no exception. Good value, with two courses for £19, or as we plumped for, 3 courses for £23. Devilled chicken livers on sour dough, followed by the 4oz rump steak cap accompanied by rosemary fries was a perfect light lunch. And the sticky ale cake was a moreish sensation - and I always skip puds. A couple of ginger beers (we were driving) and a decent double espresso and we were done. The service was also absolutely spot on, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I could've lingered all afternoon.

Me and my 2 food-fond chums meet at the Kenny farily regularly. I focus on the lunchtime special menu, which appears to be a slimmed down offering of the full lunch options. At 19 pounds for 2 courses and just 3 more for all three, this is a decent way to spend a pony and get a great lunch! I had the full vege monty this trip - grilled calcots - like plump spring onions - to start, mushroom and blue cheese risotto to follow and apple sorbet to finish. All was excellent. My friends with both stouter appitites as well as waistlines, plumped for the cote du boeff for two at 80 squiddlies - it was a good plate of perfectly cooked and good quality beef, which they polished off with gusto and two bottles of luscious red, on a recco from the front of house. She was able to speak from experience as she described the tasting event at which she had tried the wine we had. This is a Good Sign, I think. My chums were disappointed that the cheese board they've enjoyed on previous visits wasn't available - perhaps it will reappear as an option one day... As we were just one of three tables occupied that day, we couldn't quite decide whether it was a plus to have all the staff virtually to ourselves or whether it was a shame that so few people were visiting a place where good food, good service and good value is clearly on offer. We've been here on Thursday lunchtimes several times before and it's always the same good standard - long may it remain so !

Aaaaamazing Sunday Roast, it is not a cheap option but it is totally worth it! I went with my family and everyone said how good everything was. For the SR, It is a bit different, they had a menu: 2 courses £25 or 3 courses £31. The pork belly was insane!!! Very very good!! Crispy and juicy! The veggies were delicious. My parents ordered fish and they weren't less happy, they loved it too. We also ordered a bottle of white wine (this was nothing especial, I must say) Desserts were also delicious. Our main waiter (an English lad who spoke very good Spanish ;) couldn't be more efficient and nicer! I'd highly recommend this place! I thought I am going to start posting a photo of the toilet (a friend of mine used to say...how you see the restaurant's toilet is how you can expect the kitchen to be!! in this case? Very clean!)

Ate here with friends this evening. Disappointing experience. The mussels both in the starter and main course were on the cooler side . The cassoulet was average and incredibly salty. We did say to the waitress. I did query before ordering if the sticky toffee pudding contained nuts , was told it didn't but it was salty too. Overall a salty overload which dominated all 4 of our meals and took away the enjoyment of the meals. Lovely waitress but food did not live up to expectations.

Steak was full of gristle and broke my filling. I asked for it come out more medium than rare, and was told this wouldn't be a problem, but it came out rare but was also cold on the outside as well as the inside. (I have 4 kids so am used to cold food but this was cold-cold!) Chips were nice but for £31 for one dish it did not live up to expectations. The chicken pie was also very average. Butter from the bread (starter) was also frozen in the middle and the bread was room temperature rather than slightly warmed which would have been nice. For a £70 meal and after great feedback, I was expecting a lot more so very disappointed.

A lovely family lunch at the Kensington Arms today. Really interesting menu, very good cooking and lovely service. We all enjoyed our lunch and drinks together. Surprisingly only one beer on tap but otherwise a perfect place for a friendly get-together. Highly recommended.

We went there last Saturday for a lunch and the food was beautifully executed! One of the best meals in my life I dare to say! I had a crab risotto starter, whole lemon sole, bouillabaisse, seasonal veggies and saffron potatoes. It was delicious! The next day I woke up and was still thinking about this meal :D definitely can recommend to anyone and will be returning for more! This place is a true gem!

Sunday Roast done exquisitely. Simply the best Sunday roast I've had for a long time. The Sirloin was served pink (as it should be), the pork belly was tender on the inside and crispy skin. Good sized portions, lots of vegetables and roasted potatoes. Not your least expensive, but worth every penny.

Nice pub and great Sunday lunch but parking can be hard to find. Lamb and fish were great. Beef was tasty and tender but appeared to be sous vide not proper roast.

A few friends and I booked the 'pie night' back in February to celebrate a few personal events. We arrived, to be told they had in fact sold out of all their pies, despite having booked several weeks before, specifically for this event. Needless to say we were very disappointed..how hard is it to cook enough food to cover the booked tables? Can't say I'll be dining back here again anytime soon..

We've been a regular visitor to the Kensington over the years and always enjoyed the experience. Today's anniversary trip emphasised just how the team have stepped up following C19. Excellent food combined with great service made for a great experience. Also we understand the changes that have been made to make this a great gastropub experience. Well done.

Lovely place, delicious food, really friendly and efficient service, we felt very welcome and comfortable! My only minor criticism is the menu didn't have many veggie options, but the kitchen were very kind and got creative with some side dishes, for which we were very grateful! One or two more creative veggie dishes on the menu full time and this place would be perfect!

A really nice pub we had a Sunday roast here which was lovely, but the portion size was very small, we had one small bowl of veg between 3 of us and one slice of beef, my husband was still hungry after.

We had to wait half an hour for our pre booked table and then the service was really slow. The quality of the food was good but is top end prices so should be.

We had a private room for a big family Sunday lunch and everything was amazing from the food to the staff, who couldn't do more to help! Thoroughly recommend for a special occasion

The Kenny is a good local pub, one that you're glad to have on your doorstep. We understand the food is good but have not yet eaten here. I can highly recommend "Fortitude", a cracking pint of beer. Not a large pub but it does have a good vibe and character. There is outside seating available with a raised platform to the side that's undercover.

Got into a fight with some guys at the pool table and they chased us out of the pub and up the road. It was 1986 mind so it may have changed since then. My friend got bricked in the face otherwise i would have given it five stars.
