Beautiful location, big pub, excellent Caribbean food. Staff could be more friendly and welcoming, smile, and being helpful like offering baby high chair etc. Being more attentive to customers. More Caribbean food choices would be great. Kids food options could do with some veg on plates too. All in all it was okay.

We didn’t stay but did have food. Not a massive menu and food was ok. Not the tastiest chicken burger I’ve ever had but was fine. We sat outside and the view of the canal etc is pretty good.

Stop for the first time at the Riverside inn for food great place to eat in the sunshine 🌞 I order meals for 4 Adults. Customer service was of a high standard the 4 meals we order arrived on the table at the same time taken about 15mins with the help of the waitress bar staff and the chef herself

The manager of this place is ruining it. Twice I’ve visited and twice been left with a sour taste. Micro managing even the customers to the point of telling them where to stand and how to order a pint. I really feel sorry for the staff, breathing down their necks and not allowing them to get on with their jobs, obviously not a healthy work environment. The location is stunning, food was good, the weather was hot and being a weekend the place should have been rammed but it was fairly sparse… I can only think that others, like myself, won’t be back until she’s removed, not an enjoyable and relaxing environment. The owners really should step in.

Went in for a pint whilst passing on the bikes. There were two women behind the bar deep in conversation when I entered. Despite them seeming to acknowledge my presence, they carried on with their conversation for a couple of minutes until I had to ask "are you open?". One of the women looked at me like I was an alien! First impressions count - these guys need to learn that. Decent enough pint and the location is great for a view of the river, but the service needs a bit of attention.

It’s a shame such a gorgeous location is tarnished by poor management. The food is poor other than an overpriced pizza, the manager is a grumpy miserable woman than spends more time micromanaging staff and getting drunk than running the place. From the few times I’ve been in she’s been drunk and bossing staff around unnecessarily. She’s very lucky to have a pub in the location it’s in by the river and to have a venue space attached. Because without a doubt if she were to run a pub in a less fortunate location she’s run it into the ground. Especially after seeing her ask staff to keep pouring her alcohol when clearly inebriated. A unfair position to put her staff which hold a duty of care not to serve clearly intoxicated people irregardless of her being the owner or not. Whatever the staff are paid it’s not enough from the poor management I’ve not only witnesses first hand on a number of occasions but through other people also. A shame because the pub could be an ideal location and thriving business if ran better. Alan

Sunday carvery Disappointing, the roast poultry was very tasteless and dry. They serve a very small amount of meat. You can take as many vegetables you want but again tasteless and bland potatoes The location is beautiful.

OK, it was cheaper to stay outside Bristol. Place was fine and I had a goat curry that was good. Our rooms had a shared bathroom. It was fine but just saying. Not marking it down as I am sure I read it.

Are visit was just for the Sunday Lunch. The place is clean with employees continuously cleaning tables as people vacate. It’s a carvery so of course you have to queue. But the food is absolutely lovely and impressive we think when the trays of food are being replaced as soon as they run low. Also a very reasonable price. Very well run .

We had our second family get-together at the Riverside on Sunday and as with the first one we had a great time. Everyone knew to enter their car registrations and there were plenty of reminders around the pub. Our tables were on the conservatory patio which has a great view over the river, exactly as promised by landlady Holly. We stayed all afternoon and never felt under any pressure to leave. There’s an interesting mix of food on the menu from pizza to goat curry and everyone enjoyed what they had. The staff were friendly and service was efficient aside from a couple of order mix-ups, which may have been down to us rather than the pub! I liked the fact that there were jugs of tap water on the bar to help yourself to, a nice touch. The seven children in our group had a great time playing in the play area and the gardens. All in all a very nice experience and one we plan to repeat! Thank you Holly and staff!

Booked a single room with breakfast which was very reasonably priced given the location. Room was shared bathroom but I have to say the bathroom was immaculate. The room was pleasant enough but the TV didn't work, the sky box only showed one channel. There was also no milk for tea n coffee and no phone in the room to notify staff of the issues. Breakfast was very nice and served plated with juice and coffee at an agreed time. Recommended.

I always stay at the Riverside when visiting the area to see my family. It’s a real haven for me now. The setting is magnificent, right in the water, some of the rooms with a stunning view of the river and weir. Great too that the windows are one way so no one can see into the rooms. It’s a very friendly welcome, and the food is delicious. Breakfast in bed a real treat too. I do find some of the the rooms a tiny bit chilly. But they’re beautifully decorated and very clean and the beds are super cosy. Lovely to have fridge with fresh milk too.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Riverside and I honestly cannot fault it. Holly was incredibly helpful from start to finish. The team on hand in the night were amazing too! From setting up my little bits of decor just how I would have liked it and taking it all back down, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. They truly made the how process stress free which is one less thing to worry about when wedding planning! Oh and the burger bar was fab too! Thank you team for making our day!

A lovely facility near the river but many opportunities lost in terms of the lack menu choices and the lack of friendly engagement from staff who clearly didn't want to be there. Overall, very disappointing.

We had visited as part of a day trip we booked on valentines day, it included a carvery in which was great for my partner as he was a meat eater - the only negative I have is the option for a vegetarian wasn't great (I myself have been vegetarian for over 5 years), tasty as part of a different meal maybe but didn't really fit the carvery/roast meal for me personally - everything else was delicious, drinks were lovely and the setting was amazing!!

I hadn't been to Bath/Bristol in a long time, so we decided to make it a family trip for the weekend. Riverside Inn did not disappoint! The rooms were super clean, the view was lovely, and the breakfast was great. We imagine it would be a lovely spot for the summer, too. We recommend it!

I was so excited to try these macaroons as I have an obsession with them. From previous reviews I was prepared for the expense and macaroons tend to be pricey anyways but I was disappointed with how dry they were. There were a variety of flavours and colours were beautiful but I was shocked with how dry and flavourless they were. I’ve had macaroons from many places and can say these are sadly the worst.

I’m a travelling Australian and got excited about some home-style food but this was so bad. The rice clumped together like it was days old, the kale was discoloured and the serving size was pitiful. Could have made something much better myself for far less than the £15 I paid for this and a mediocre chai. Service wasn’t even friendly. I’m only giving it 2 stars because I had a juice there a few days ago and it was pretty decent - otherwise it would have been a one. And - on the plus side it didn’t taste terrible but the rice was a bit suss.

We have just been for the Sunday lunch. The service was somewhat lacking. The roast dinners weren't up to scratch. We like el dente, but the broccoli could have been used in a brick wall. The roast potatoes were obviously just reheated, rubbery on the outside, and dry in the middle. The beef was very chewy and was very difficult to cut. My husband had the pork, and it was really nice. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day, but I certainly won't be eating there again.

The Bird in Hand is a favourite place. The new owner has refurbished beautifully. Visited with my family, second time since the changes. Food and services were superb. 5 Stars.
