Nova Scotia Hotel in Bristol, City of

The Nova was amazing when Mark had it and now it's completely changed. No atmosphere, no food! Such a shame I've been going to this pub since I was about 8 years old but now it's a shadow of it's former self.

Popped in for a few drinks and had a great time talking to the new landlady and local characters who were all very welcoming! Looking forward to food when they reopen the kitchen in the not too distant future. Great range of ales, especially liked the Tiny Rebel which had a summery vibe when the rain was coming down outside!

Delightful, historic pub by the harbour. Loved the cosy interior and really welcoming staff. Fantastic location and there are lots of tables and seats right by the water. Overall a lovely place to enjoy a relaxing drink if you are visiting Bristol and highly recommended.

This pub doesn’t serve food. It’s recently changed hands. There was 2 costumers & I was told they don’t serve food anymore.

A good old locals pub with great beer and a nice cosy atmosphere. Not very big inside but there are tables outside and it’s on the harbour.

What a cracking pub - the landlord is personable and friendly and there is a real sense of community from the locals. We also really enjoyed our food, which was fantastic value for money.

What a find! A proper, unpretentious pub serving simple but very tasty fare. Doorstep sandwiches on lovely fresh bread made the ideal "light" lunch. Excellent beers, served by very welcoming staff. Rammed with history and retains its working maritime heritage, thankfully resisting modernisation. The maritime charts make fascinating wall coverings, supplemented by old photographs. Fabulous place and a must see on a visit to Bristol

Just wanted to say thank you to the team at the Nova Scotia. We had a lovely family lunch there on Sunday. Amazing value Sunday roast. Staff were great - despite being very busy. Lovely food, with good choice including lamb & vegetarian options. Hope they start serving puddings though!

Charming, unpretentious riverside pub which has been going since 1811. Three nice old rooms with plenty of historic patina and interesting photos and other decoration. There’s also a waterside outdoor terrace. Good basic pub food - I enjoyed my ham and cheese sandwich, as well as a pint of Moretti.

Affordable, friendly, regular pub. Didn't stay in hotel, but enjoyed an evening's drinking with the family (Inc young children)

Good beer good food , the kind of pub for friendly conversation what i call a proper pub seats by the harbor side if the weather is good, what's not to like.

Great traditional pub, enjoyed lovely lunchtime pub meal at very reasonable price. Service excellent, laid back and friendly.

The pub itself is about 200 years old. It is a proper British pub and apart from diners, there were regulars having a drink (and dogs are allowed!). Someone recommended the Nova Scotia in preference to a nearby pub, which has great views, as they said the food was better at the Nova Scotia. We had Sunday Lunch ….pork beef or lamb and the full trimmings, and really good portions. The vegetables were cooked well, not soggy and with some bite to them. Be prepared to wait a bit from placing your Order, but sit back enjoy the company of your friends and you will get a delicious meal, which is also piping hot. You must book by the way and parking is a bit tight but on a Sunday the rules are relaxed so you can park by the water near the pub. We will be going back again I am sure.

Pint sitting by the water earlier, went for a stroll & came back 9ish as the menu looked interesting. Admittedly waited an age for the food but boy, when it came out… Really simple stuff but sooo tasty & well cooked. A cauliflower cheese I’d have been proud to serve up with a freshly cut side salad & bread & butter & sausages mash & veg my partner declared really excellent. Complimented the chef after & he told me how he used all the remains of the Sunday roasts as the basis of his gravies -that’s proper cooking!

Great pub, in a great location, with excellent staff, good beer and terrific food...a real plate full.

Not adhering to COVID restrictions ! But a lovely pub… food looked fantastic… however I was rather taken aback to see one of the staff behind the bar eating her lunch a sandwich clearly touching her mouth and NOT washing her hands. This really isn’t acceptable during COVID times as she was then serving tables in between eating, not washing or sanitising this is how COVID spreads…staff clearly need training and guidelines on hygiene expected during COVID

Not tried any food but the menu looks good. Enjoyed a couple of drinks here as it a much nicer place than some of the other establishments in the area. Will use again when in Bristol.

Despite booking a table for the evening, being aware of restrictions, we eventually asked for our bill 1 hr and 5mins later having had no food, our bill was then incorrect having charged us for food and not drinks. After a lengthy debate with another member of staff, we got our cash back. We left Hungry and dissatisfied, will not be back!!! .

Stopped off for a swift half of apple juice and a packet of mini cheddars (Dad had a London Pride). This place is really cool and traditional with a nautical feel to the decor and yet a somehow cosy vibe; we sat in the captains cabin section of the bar - definitely the superior choice of location. We got the snug table by the window with a view across the bar. Nice friendly staff and what looked like a nice selection of beer - although I had already had my fair share of the stuff hence why I opted to the lighter option of juice. Nonetheless, Llama approved.

It might be called the Nova Scotia Hotel but in my eyes its a welcoming pub, good staff, good choices of alcohol large sandwiches made to order that fill you up, well worth stopping for a pint or two, charming atmosphere.

Estábamos alojados en el sitio de caravanas y autocaravanas y estábamos buscando un asado de domingo. Tropecé con la Nueva Escocia y realmente me alegro de haberlo hecho. Gran pub tradicional que sirve una deliciosa cena asada de buen tamaño a un precio razonable. Todo el personal fue muy amable y servicial. Sin duda alguna volveremos a visitarlo en nuestro próximo viaje a Bristol.

Good reasonably priced food, loved it, can’t wait to go again. Camped in caravan and Motorhome site, cottage inn, overpriced with no atmosphere

Visited this pub a few times whilst staying at the nearby caravan site. Sunday lunch was superb and plenty of it. The pub is unique in the fact that its internal appearance has remained unchanged for decades. A long narrow bar with lots of atmosphere.

What a find, proper old fashioned pub, good service at the bar, and the food is extraordinary, the prices are very competitive, in fact this pub is the competition, will be back. Than you.

I visited this pub again with friends for Sunday lunch on the weekend of the Bristol Harbour festival and yes it was busy but being at the furthest point away was less popularThe prices for Sunday lunch are reasonable at £8.50 - choice of lamb, beef or chicken and vegetables (4), roasters, Yorkshire puddings and plenty of gravy - nut roast option available too, as well as a couple of limited choices - great not to be swamped with too many choices!!Food was served well and was very hot, and greatly presentedOrder and pay at the bar, limited seating inside but plenty of seating outside on a nice dayWould well recommend and would use again and this is the second time I have used it

Probably my favourite pub around the harbour. Proper pub with good prices and the food portions are huge. You have to have a doorstop sarnie but make sure your hungry first.

Hemos visitado este encantador pub al lado del puerto en muchas ocasiones y disfrutamos de la ubicación, la comida casera a un precio razonable y el ambiente, pero ¿qué ha sucedido? El pub y todo su encanto permanece, pero la comida ha tenido una caída masiva. Me siento mal al escribir esto, pero acabo de experimentar el peor pub fisn y papas fritas que he comido.

A real boozer. Have a drink, read your paper and feast on the port scratchings. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Entré por una puerta muy angosta, casi eliminé a otro cliente y me encontré con un pequeño y glorioso cómodo del que tuve que alejarme con "Mi Amado". Fuimos al bar principal y nos decepcionó encontrar la sidra 'todavía' (¡pero eso significa que tendremos que volver!), Así que tomé una de las cervezas muy sabrosas.Nos acomodamos en un pequeño y acogedor ventanal al final del típico bar inglés y yo, estúpidamente, pedimos el menú y fuimos apuntados largamente hacia el pizarrón. Es un menú conciso y lo suficiente para el gusto de cualquiera; Desde sándwiches hasta parrillas mixtas. Fuimos por un costillar de costillas y 'pollo de cazador' y como mi esposa es alérgica al ajo, el personal cambió muy amablemente las 'papas de hierbas' (el ajo no es una hierba) a papas fritas, gracias.La temida música también estaba tocando solo en un área del pub: nuevamente, gracias por la zona tranquila en la que estábamos.El personal era muy amable y no podría haber sido más atento y profesional: sin duda volveremos; no podemos esperar

Si te gusta la comida tradicional inglesa en grandes porciones con comida rica en grasas. . Este es el lugar para ir. Si sabes que los alimentos ricos en grasas y carbohidratos pueden no ser la mejor opción para ti, no vayas allí. Tuvimos una hermosa noche con amigos allí, pero la comida no es lo que estamos acostumbrados ni nos gusta. estoy seguroque en pocos años este pub habrá cambiado a comida sana y adecuada. Solo espero que mantengan el ambiente. . .

Went here for lunch with relatives who live in the area. There’s not many of these original pubs left in the UK and it was great to visit. You know it’s good when it’s busy on a random Tuesday lunchtime.We all had meals and they were all delicious, freshly prepared and huge portions.Go for a look, you won’t be disappointed!

Popped in for a quick drink on NYE, and found everyone very friendly. (Couple in the corner with too much to drink were spoiling it by using foul language.)

Staying at the Baltic Wharf Caravan & Motorhome site on our return trip to Somerset. Popped in for an evening meal which was ham, egg and chips (even came with salad). Food and drink great value and big helpings. Sat outside in the evening sunshine, will return.

Visited for a Sunday lunch with friends, following a recommendation,very good lunch of Roast Beef. Warm and cosy on a miserable wet day Could not be beaten for taste & value. Will certainly revisit on a sunny day

Lovely little harbourside pub serving good food and a great atmosphere. Visited with family and friends for evening meal, very good service and good beer, Recommended

Full of locals from around the area , lovely in the sunshine to sit outside and look at the boats etc. Friendly and does a lovely Sunday dinner Only downside is that it’s hard to get a table on a Sunday!

Fuimos a tomar una copa después de una cálida tarde soleada para ser recibidos por un amable personal amable y una buena selección de bebidas nada era demasiado molesto y aunque estaba lleno encontramos un lugar para sentarse recomiendo encarecidamente esto para una visita. Definitivamente regresará?

Tuvimos un almuerzo entre semana aquí con mi mamá y mi papá. Pintas todo el tiempo y los más grandes y mejores rellenos de Door Stop Sandwiches. . . . . . ¡Realmente podrían mantener la puerta abierta! Tenía tocino, champiñones y brie, BG tenía Bacon y huevo en blanco (¡dos huevos fritos!)! ¡Papá tiene tocino y queso y mamá pulida de una ensalada de tocino en Wholemeal! Hacía calor así que tomamos una mesa a la sombra en el puerto y disfrutamos del sol y la charla de la miríada de otros comensales y bebedores.

came here with my family on there recommendation , not disappointed. Great reasonably priced food, decent beer , good atmosphere perfect setting. 12 of us ate and drank for £140. beat that! good serviceably friendly staff.

Called into this pub with a friend on a boiling hot Monday lunchtime (the other place within sight was closed, so this was our next choice).

If you want cusine and a range of craft beers don't come here. However for a few well kept beers and a huge plateful of food for the money this is the place. It's a mix of local bristolians and passing trade. We arrived mob handed on midweek evening and yes the staff were a bit foxed but friendly. The food arrived quickly and was well cooked and the mixed grill was huge and frankly for £10 I wasn't hopeful but it was tasty in fact there was nothing I could faulty about any of the meals that came up. The gents toilet was OK but reminded me of pubs I drank in 40yrs ago ;)

Saturday afternoon drinks in the sun with good food thrown in, what more could you ask for. Good selection of beers at a decent price, but even better, really good selection of standard bar food cooked, very tasty and great value for money. The door stop sandwiches are well worth considering. Give it a try.

Been to this pub a few times and enjoyed the friendly welcome and atmosphere, but never previously ate there. Evidently been missing out! Wife and I enjoyed two great meals, both under a tenner, but delightfully cooked and presented. On a Monday night sometimes pub food can be neglected, but the Nova Scotia certainly doesn’t fall into this category. Great plates of food (mixed grill recommended) tasty and filling and served promptly. Also good range of beers and ciders - we’ll be back for sure!

Very convenient for Underfall Yard and Bristol Ferry. Characterful, friendly pub with excellent ales and a good traditional menu. Very friendly helpful staff.

Staying for a week at the Baltic Wharf Caravan site. After a disappointing meal at another local pub we decided to give this place a chance. What a great decision, visited twice in a week with another couple. between us we sampled 50% of the menu and were not disappointed! The Nova Scotia is a traditional pub with lots of interesting features, and friendly "regulars". Evening meals served from 6.30. All the food seems freshly prepared, lovely hot chips, sweet potato chips, herbie cubed potatoes and lots of fresh salad. Gammon, steak, vegetable wellington, trio of fish cakes, scampi, all hot and tasty, and all very good value. Meals and drinks for 4 cost £45, great value. Highly recommended for good honest pub grub!

Great beer and a lovely Roast Lamb Sunday Lunch. Old School Pub,friendly Staff. Just what was needed after a long walk.

And not in an interesting way. No friendly welcome, poor selection of drink, not clean and the dress code of staff put me off even eating a packet of crisps! We were looking for somewhere to settle for the evening to eat and drink, we couldn’t leave this place quick enough. Such a shame as the building has so much history to share.

This waterside pub has been a favourite for years as it's a no-frills decent pub with loads of outdoor seating for good weather. There's decent freshly-prepared food and a choice of beers and ciders. One of my groups meets in the Snug (or whatever it's called) - a very cosy small bar.

Not gentrified or owned by a pub chain, the Nova Scotia is a traditional and popular dockside pub. It serves a range of beers and ciders and good food. Very good for lunch - their doorstep sandwiches are legendary! I've also had some great bowls of soup here. There is outside seating on the quay which makes it one of the best harbourside locations for a summer drink.

If you want a proper dockside Pub, (not a chain or themed location)

My cousin and family live in Bristol so it was great to meet up with them at Nova Scotia for a lovely meal and get together I would recommend them for food - the menu is basic but very good xx

After a pleasant walk around Bristol Docks you could do worse than stop off for lunch at the Nova Scotia. They advertise 'Doorstep Sarnies' and they are not wrong, I heartily recommend the bacon, brie and mushroom. Great selection of beers and ciders too, a good all round pub.

Después de caminar desde el debenhams alrededor del puerto, llamado aquí para una ale bombardier y un refresco. Sentamos a ver el mundo pasar. Me gustaría probar de nuevo para un día de comida.

Vimos gran comentarios en línea. Mejor pub en la ciudad, bla bla bla.

Llame algunas pintas y almuerzo mientras cerca, por desgracia, la única artesanía cerveza fue vendido, así como la mayoría de las especialidades en el menú y era sólo el almuerzo en el primer día del festival del puerto. Obviamente popular pero no pude probar las cosas que me apetecía, así que no conseguimos precio por encima de la media.

Teníamos espada y excelente cerveza local. Gran vista y te puedes sentar fuera. Ferry paradas aquí también. Personal amable y no caro.

Local historic pub right on the city dock side. Simply great food and Ale. Call in, you wont be disappointed. Very good value for money.

Local pub with very good pub grub. The fish cakes were excellent as was gammon. Large portions. Everything very fresh, including the salad and all at very reasonable prices.

If you want good, hearty food in a pub full of locals, then this is the pub for you! We sampled the fish pie and sirloin steak. Large portions and very tasty home cooked food. I would have given 5 stars, but the beer was disappointing- drink cider like the locals and you won't be disappointed! Great pub.

The Nova always provides us with super filling and delicious food at rock bottom prices after a Tuesday night mountain bike ride. The staff are accommodating and lovely, and we always get a heroes welcome. For what you pay you get a HUGE portion, and great service.

The Nova Scotia is a great pub to visit if walking or cycling around Bristol. It has outside tables right on the water's edge.Beers and cider are well kept and an excellent range. The food is very good as you would expect in a good British pub - wholesome and freshly prepared.

Five of us popped in here for lunch after a walk around the harbourside, there were quite a few other customers but we found a couple of tables and ordered food an drink, I ordered Fish and Chips with salad and a pint of Thatcher's Haze - the Haze was excellent. The food was OK, clearly from the freezer but inexpensive.

Only popped in here for a short time. Nice atmosphere, wish I had longer to spend here. Great selection of drinks. Will pop back here next time in Bristol. Also has a niceties in which you can see the Clifton Bridge in the background.

Top Sunday Lunch in a traditional drinkers pub....be sure to book or get there early as some meats sell out or there can be a wait for food. This pub is full of character and characters.

Yes the best boozer in Hotwells the pub has not changed since I was a small boy (many moons) still the same tobacco stained sea charts on the walls , still the old pictures of Hotwells and friendly people.

Called in after a rugby match and had a fantastic pint of Duechars. Fantastic old pub with real character and some lovely locals. It's a must return for us

Have been here twice now for lunch and the sandwiches are delicious! Doorstop sandwiches with hot and cold fillings. Highly recommend bacon, brie and mushroom.Small place with chilled atmosphere. Very filling. I will be back soon.

Best pub lunch for ages. Good quality food.. Had ham, eggs & chips, proper carved ham tasted great! Will defiantly visit again.

A lunch time visit with a good number of customers. we were able to sit outside and enjoy the sun and then enjoy two mixed grills, unfortunately we were beaten there was just too much to eat.

Driven to review this famous cider and food pub by the extraordinary behaviour of a diner last night. I'd never heard anyone complain about the food in the Nova before. I have enjoyed many very reasonably priced and great meals there. He (a significantly overweight middle aged man - query a rival publican?) was offered a fresh helping in good grace. I heard tonight that he had complained again about that second serving - but only after he'd eaten most of it and got his money back. His dining companions looked suitably embarrassed to be sitting at the same table. I wonder if he had any idea that most of the pub would have decked him if they had not been so polite and mild mannered. Judging from his girth I guess he eats many a meal in that fashion as it would be expensive otherwise to get that portly. So, what is the Nova absent the mystery misery guts? A proper pub like they used to make them. No fancy decor but fascinating stuff on the walls which needs explanation from one of the many locals. The best kept Thatchers in Bristol at the keenest price. With a lemonade top it achieves mystical power over the human spirit ;-)Excellent home made pub food at fab prices. You may have to wait sometimes, particularly if you don't know how many other people will have headed down there to enjoy one of the chef's specials. A no-nonsense welcome - neither too friendly or unwelcoming-unless you're the sort of guy I saw last night of course. A place to visit before you die - or at least leave this city. Quintessential Bristol-that's the Nova.

Historical delight at Cumberland Basin ( Hotwells) superb lunch warm welcome. Naval cottages opposite built 1800's to serve Naval families and still in use. Bristol City Council and regeneration programmes in progress. A short stroll through the working yard to the Cottage Pub to catch the river ferry to Bristol City Centre at reasonable cost of £2.40

Been going to this pub for years. Local pub visited by many still who have moved out the area. Food is plentiful and great but don't expect express service! Drinks are good with Thatcher's cider being one of the most popular. The outside seating is great in the summer and can get very busy but the pub seems to cope well with this. Just outside the pub you can catch a ferry to the other side of the river or visit local landmarks SS great Britain M shed museum and other stops along the way with Bristol city centre being the end stop.

Two couples met for lunch. A busy old-fashioned pub, we had high expectations ...My wife and I ordered steak medium cooked... What arrived could have shod a pair of army boots... Quite staggering that the kitchen cared so little about quality... Avoid this hole... Or maybe have a drink and enjoy the bar...even they could not mess up the drink.

Visited here Sunday lunchtime ready for some food and drink, after a lovely waterfront walk. Unfortunately, the barmaid informed us there was at least a 45 minute wait, so we declined and just had a drink. The barmaid seemed quite pleased that there was 'only one person in the kitchen', for some reason.Then another lady came outside collecting glasses, so I asked her if the food queue had reduced. She replied that there was a function on upstairs. Hello? Didn't they think to bring in some more staff?People who had food were returning it and the whole place seemed chaotic.Then to cap an unhappy experience we had another round and I was overcharged by 25%. I queried this of course, the lady recalculated but could not bring herself to apologise.I hope this was a one-off but it has certainly left a nasty taste.

Great food , great price, friendly staff! Stumbled upon it from caravan site at Baltic Wharf. Will visit again. What's not to like?

Worth a walk along the Cumberland Basin to enjoy the views and stop for a pint in the nova soctia. We sat outside on the dockside tables in good company of friendly locals and enjoyed a cider in the sun. Feels less touristy and more of a 'local' than other pubs nearer the city centre.

Very friendly, down-to-earth pub. Pleasant stop-off at end of Bristol Ferries route before returning to the city centre.

This pub offers the best Sunday roast in town by far. They know how to cook a beef to make it melting in your mouth...loving it and recommending to everyone! The only downside is that staff is not very friendly but never mind.

When my team visit Bristol City, this pub is always in the agenda. Happy to accommodate away fans plus serves good variety of ales and cider plus the food never fails to be excellent and imaginative.

This was recommended to us by a colleague and I'm so glad we popped in. The beer was really nice and the place was busy with a relaxed atmosphere. It's a bit like travelling back to the 60s and although it seems a bit shabby it just works. The menu is limited but what we had was plentiful, well cooked and good value. There were plenty of people who had clearly just finished work and were enjoying a wind down. Not your average Friday night wine bar but all the better for it. Locals and staff were all really friendly.

This is a traditional pub with traditional pub grub at extremely reasonable prices. If you are a fan of "plastic pubs" this may not be your bag but if you value a real pub this place is a gem. The ciders and ales are well kept, the food is amazing and at a price rarely found in a Bristol pub. Worth a detour if you are visiting Bristol...get the ferry from the centre or walk around the harbour either way from the centre for wonderful views of Bristol.

staff very friendly, gave our dog treats and made us feel welcome - good old fashioned vibe - limited menu but tasty food and lots of it...locals and tourists - a good mix

Yes I knew this pub in my youth but had not visited for many years, so on a recent trip to Bristol on a summer Saturday, what could be better than a pint and doorstep sandwich on an outside table. Great views as always, good beer and food, thoroughly enjoyed it. Will return sooner next time!

First visited this pub in July, We have just returned from a weekend in Bristol with our little dog Oscar, wasn't sure he would be allowed in, had no need to worry he was made very welcome, which made visit even more enjoyable

Great selection of Beers, always packed and a great atmosphere, real traditional Bristol Pub and most be one of Bristol's best. Parking always difficult as not much of it and all on road. Food looks really good and very popular although never eaten there. A definite for a visit otherwise you are missing out.

Take a boat in the steps and ask them to drop you there. It's so much quite and service friendlier. And more important you are still in front of the harbour. Excellent!

Visited this place after doing an 8 mile walk around Bristol on the Shaun the sheep trail! We met up with friends here and were not disappointed. The beer and cider were scummy, the food was lovely with generous portions and such good value for money. I had the sirloin steak, it was really nice and tender, hubby had the fish cakes which he said were delicious, our friends had already visited before, one had the mixed grill which was huge and looked yummy and our other friend had the hunters chicken which she said was the best she had ever had! We were too full for pudding so the bill was £42.00 including drinks for 4 of us! Great value for money, we will return!

Although we have visited this fine hostelry on several occasions for drinks, this was the first time we have eaten there......and we were not disappointed!A good range of food is available and is very cheaply-priced considering the pub's location (the gammon was superb value for money)!Add to that the range of well-priced quality real ales & ciders and you have a perfect pub - easily the best on the Bristol waterfront.

The Nova Scotia is an old-fashioned pub at heart, and scruffy in places but none the worse for that. It is not all that big inside, with charts used as wallpaper in some parts of the main bar. There is outside seating for use in good weather.It is in what I take to be a Georgian building, probably built when Napoleonic prisoners of war dug the New Cut, enabling the Floating Harbour to be locked, so keeping ships afloat at all stages of the tide. There are interesting views from the outside area, taking in the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Avon George, interesting buildings such as the Dock Cottages, and into the Floating Harbour.There is a good choice of beer, and a sensible menu. It's rare nowadays to get a good (and generously filled) sandwich that one can have without chips, and for an extremely reasonable £3.50. But there is plenty of hot food as well.There is free parking nearby (and a few spaces directly outside, but they are usually full). On my last visit I wondered why we don't go there more often.

Now I'm a bit partial to fancy stuff from time to time but honestly the Nova is as a pub should be ~ decent beer and rough cider, an unchanging, unique interior for as long as I can remember [30 years to be exact ] and decent food in large quantities. A great outside seating area overlooking the floating harbour is a fine place to make yer beer taste all the better . Ferry is a good way to get here and make an afternoon of it - if only. It's one of Bristol's great pubs , enjoy it .

One of the stalwarts of Bristol drinking pubs.The pub creates its own atmosphere because of its age and decorative standards have remained pretty much the same.There is quite a good selection of beer but the biggest seller is rough cider they also have a guest beer on tap.It isn't anything special inside but it is a nice pub for a few beers and on fine days you can sit outside along side the river and watch the world go by.The food is quite good value there is a changing menu with original additions and good portions Sunday roasts are very popular a good pub and restaurant which shouldn't disappoint.

We spent two afternoons in April at the Nova Scotia. The locals were very friendly and educated me on all historical topics. Richard was a star an also Pete and Rosie specially made our weekend. A big thanks to the landlord for making this pub fantastic.

We stopped here for some lunch whilst walking around bristol. The pub is a good old fashioned place with great and plentiful food. What I don't like is the toilets which really need a refurb.

Spent an evening here with friends, great atmosphere, and the food was excellent. Great value for money, excellent quality pub grub. Will definetly be visiting again.

Atmospheric, old English pub. Fantastic, excellent value pub food. We found this by chance on our riverside walk, very glad we did.

we have been he many times to have a drinks and also for the good value food. The prices are very good. Nice to sit in the pub and chat to the locals , just how the good old British pub used to be, please kept as it is. With nice seating area outside also. Will miss my visits to this pub if the nearby caravan club site has to be closed.

Lovely little pub situated at the Cumberland Basin end of the harbour. They serve great sandwiches and more substantial meals at a very good price. The size of these is big! They have a few draught beers on sale.Outside seating is available by the waterside. The pub itself is quite small.Had the Burger and it was very good. The sandwiches are doorsteps with plenty inside them.Great value and people watching

Lovely pub to visit on a summers evening where you can sit outside by the harbour. Food is really good, best steak I've had in ages and at a very reasonable price! :)

Atmospheric, great location, giant sandwiches, great staff and good beer all go together to make this one of the best pubs on the planet. Go on a sunny day, get the ferry boat or grab a pre match drink before City play. If you like proper pubs you won't be disapointed.

Love this pub in particular on a nice summers day or evening as inside is 'cosy' so much prefer it outside the pub :)Food has always been and still is amazing and the price is good Would always recommend this pub.....
