Another bus ride from home and not disappointed. CAMRA lists it as a quiet pub and it was at lunch time. Went for the home made Riser Beefburger and chips and was well worth the wait for it to be freshly prepared. Chocolate brownie and ice cream too all washed down with more than one (!!) Hop Union Maiden Voyage. Great to find good beer at under £4 a pint these days. A return visit definitely on the cards (or bus!!).

Best pub in the area. The hop union beers are gorgeous, there's locals aplenty, there's an oldstyle skittles alley at the back that can be used and the roast is amongst the best I've had. Have a sit on the walls and enjoy a beer there, you won't be disappointed

We had dinner last night and was involved with the charity pub quiz night. The mushroom stroganoff which was a special was absolutely incredible and my partner loved the burger and the added additions to it such as the red slaw. Portion sizes were very big.

Nothing wrong with the food but the service was appalling. Ate our main course, waited for someone to come and take dessert order, no one came. Decided to skip dessert and just have coffee. Went to bar to order. Young man wasn't sure if coffee machine was still on.( 9:10 ) Decided it was. After waiting 20 mins drinks finally came. Drinks were not very warm and I was told the machine wouldn't do my latte. They appear to be more interested in the people in the bar than customers eating. Will certainly not be going back.

Cannot fault the food but can fault the service. Very pleasant young man serving us. We waited a long time for him to appear to take food order. Food was lovely. After someone finally cleared plates nobody came back to ask if we wanted dessert. Finally decided to skip dessert and order coffee. Again on one appeared. We went to the bar and asked for coffee. Guy wasn't too sure if machine was still on. It was but when he brought it through to us it was luke warm and not nice. I had ordered a latte which I never got. We waited for something to come and take money. That didn't happen either. We paid at the bar. Disappointed as it was my friends birthday treat and it was very much spoilt by the lack of service. They seemed to be more interested in the people in the bar. We will mot be going back.

A little longer than usual to wait for our food, but it was well worth it for the meat eaters. All fresh vegetables, good sized roasters, nice amount of meat and great tasting gravy. Daughter's nut roast not very good though, odd taste and very slimy. She didn't enjoy it at all. They redeemed themselves with the pudding selections. Definitely worth another visit.

Not easy to find somewhere that can provide meat, veggie and vegan options but the menu here manages it. Sunday roast menu had a good range, we had pork belly, nut roast & veggie sausage roasts (the veggie sausage one is advertised as “small roast” but we asked for normal size. Homemade pies of the day were tasty (steak or broccoli and stilton) and a decent portion of fish and chips. Great range of accompanying veg including cauliflower cheese and red cabbage. As we had booked a table for 9 at their last sitting for food on a Sunday (5.30) they rang and asked us to pre-order food and this meant that everything was quick and accurate. Desserts were delicious, biscoff cheesecake, fudge chocolate and biscoff sundaes. Only vegan pudding option was sorbet but otherwise good selection including over 10 icecream flavours.

Edit from a previous negative experience below !! * I am highly disappointed from my recent booking today 5-3/23 at 12pm. My gf booked online for 2 persons. We were seated in the dining room , not the conservatory which was kinda ok initially although the decor felt like a holiday inn room. The Meal came quickly yet we were expected to share 1 tiny platter of veg and a small ramekin of cauliflower cheese, thought the server would bring the next portion of veg but nothing came . How is a single meal the same veg and cauliflower cheese for a couple when it’s double the price ? My dinner was not enough of a portion either. If this wasn’t bad enough that our dinner wasn’t fully equipped we had the whole football team next to us drinking eating crisps , swearing , shouting , my girlfriend being pregnant is not something I want to be around or expect when having a roast dinner in a dining area. Not once did the server offer to move us , check on us ( my dinner needed more gravy , where as my partners was swimming in it ), we were just left there. I couldn’t even speak to my partner during our whole meal and couldn’t wait to leave. The ambience was of a social club not a family dining. This was our first time and we are local residents and will not be returning or recommending. I would of complained whilst I was there but I just couldn’t wait to leave and the bar server wouldn’t of been able to hear me and I didn’t fancy shouting across the bar to explain my dissatisfaction. (We had to fight our way through the people at the bar drinking and queuing to get anyone’s attention and pay) I paid £34.35 for this disaster. If you are out with mates then it’s ok to drink but with a partner or kids avoid like the plague *Update* Since this review they reached out and offer to sit us for free. We attended today and were sat in the conservatory part !! This made a massive difference - the customer service was awesome and the food and atmosphere was much better !! Based off this experience I would now recommend this place and will come again with my partner ! Thanks it really shows that you care about the customers !

This was accompanied with sweet honey roasted carrots and beautifully cooked broccoli and chips. A faultless meal. It deserves more than 5 stars.

absolutely dsgusting, it was dry and so salty barely edible. If it wasnt for the fact my son was treating me to a meal out I would have complained bitterly. When asked by the server how the meal was I told him it was far too salty. I was told he would relay my comments to the chef and that was the last we heard of it, no apology or compensation offered. I consider this to be extremely poor service and would not recommend anybody to try anything other than their sunday roasts which are apparently exceptional.

Have been to the Riser many times over the last 3yrs and the food / choices have been fantastic. However went twice in a fortnight about a month ago and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Their renowned triple cooked chips were poor the other meals were just OK as was the choices on offer, only one special on offer one evening at 6.30pm was a fillet steak at £28, you would pay that at San Carlo but come on this is a pub in the suburbs. We love the Riser so PLEASE someone get the kitchen sorted !!

There are, arguably, two reasons to visit Downend. One is on a summer’s afternoon to watch Downend CC play cricket with the bar in full swing and plenty of boundaries being scored as the ground is relatively small; the other is to pay a visit to Melanie’s Kitchen. This delicatessen shop is a positive cornucopia of cheeses, bakery items, biscuits, chutneys, artisan breads etc etc. The man who serves at the cheese counter (who I assume is not Melanie!) is a fountain of knowledge on local cheeses and knows all of the local cheese producers, when their cheeses are at their best and is happy to provide advice to ensure that you will leave well satisfied having enjoyed a sensory and culinary experience second to none. It’s full marks from me.
