The Ashton in Bristol, City of

Had a lovely meal with great friendly service. The male manager working today was very kind.

Landed with a £60 parking fine for having the audacity to park in the pub carpark and then go into the pub to spend money. Ridiculous that you have to pay to use the parking for a pub carpark.

wow. where do i start? Tara was our waitress and she was just impeccable. food was delicious, my wife had the linguine and i had the fish and chips, both were lovely. kids loved their pizzas. shall definitely be back with the in-laws!

We had a lovely meal last weekend to celebrate our anniversary, the food was delicious and such a cosy atmosphere. We were served by Olivia who was very warm and welcoming. She really made our experience with her attentiveness and was so bubbly. We will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you for a lovely time :)

Myself and my partner had a fantastic evening celebrating our anniversary at the Ashton. The food and atmosphere was fantastic along with exceptional service from Tara our waitress. Will definitely be visiting again!

The Food was good quality.I was served by a young lady called Tara who was very helpful. Would recommend Aston to anyone

Had the most amazing experience here Tara was an absolute legend she made sure we had everything we needed and kept checking in on us to ensure service and our expectations were met Will definitely come again thank you Tara!!

Had a great time here and our server Tara was a delight. Would come back again :)

I came here last week to celebrate my husband's and my anniversary. The food was lovely, as was the waitress, Tara!! I will be making a return, perhaps with my ladies' group next. They would love it!

I had an amazing experience, as always. My wife had the duck noodle salad, and I had the pork belly. Tara was on hand and attentive to our needs. We'll have to bring the kids next time. Keep up the good work!

Had an amazing meal with my family. Food and service was outstanding., venue and décor was modern and clean. Would highly recommend, can't wait to go back!

Had a wonderful lunch here the other day, was served by the amazing Tara who made sure our every need was met. We had the fish and chips and pork duo which were both delicious. A lovely afternoon spent in the sun. Amazing service would definitely come again

Great food and attentive service!

Had an absolutely fantastic Sunday roast here, served by Tara, such excellent customer service, couldn't have been better looked after. Was definitely an example of service with a beautiful smile! The food was delicious and portion sizes generous. The cauliflower cheese was an added bonus. Such a warm and relaxed atmosphere too, will definitely be back. Thank you for looking after us Tara.

Friendly and welcoming pub. Staff really pleasant and polite. Food very tasty and good value. Deffo recommend the Fish and Chips :-))

Really great food and a good atmosphere. My husband had the pork belly and i had the duck noodle salad, both we would highly recommend. A special thanks to our server Tara who made our experience. She was very attentive and an absolute pleasure. Will definitely be back :)

Poor value for money. Over £6 for seven halloumi fries! £18 for a few limp salad leaves and three pieces of halloumi. Won’t be going again.

Nice pub and friendly staff but the food is poor. I had the Dirty Burger but it was not great, the patty was over cooked and hard to chew, the fries were over cooked as well, the bun was underwhelming and it came with some sort of dripping gravey that was unpleasant. This is my second visit in recent years and the food let it down last time as well, shame as its a nice pub

Nicely updated pub just on the outskirts of Bristol and just a 10-minute drive from the city centre on the edge of the countryside. Plenty of outdoor seating with lots of variety inside, including a relaxed casual bar and dining area around an open fireplace, plus a proper sit-down restaurant if you're feeling keen on a more plush experience. Very friendly stuff but their beer on tap tends to run out too fast.

Went in for a few drinks recently and I’m so pleased I did! We were served by Maisy who gave us some great recommendations of things to do in the area. Will definitely be back!

Me and my Wife celebrated Our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We decided to give The Ashton a visit, not been here since it was the Dovecote. A lovely interior, and we could take the dog. A lovely meal, my wife had the chicken,leek and cheese pie. I had half a rotisserie chicken. Beautifully cooked meals, I only wish there was more of it with the chicken. And we sat there for 15 mins waiting for staff only realising it was order at the bar. Apart from that would visit again and would recommend.

My husband and I visited this pub for the first time in years on Wednesday, and had such a lovely experience that we returned on the Friday with our 2 boys. The experience with our 2 boys was even better as the staff were so lovely with them (one of my boys insisted I write a review telling people how great the place is). I fully recommend this place based on the experience of the food, service and atmosphere; specifically the beer garden which was glorious when the sun was shining!

Very busy Sunday, slight wait on food but worth it, friendly staff, Daisy and Maisie brought our food out and made sure we were all sorted and set!

Best service from the lovely Jade!

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Ashton, delicious roast and nice selection of wines, Liv one of the staff helped us pick a pleasant red and was attentive throughout. We were impressed by the recent refurbishment.

The waiter harry was very polite and welcoming, 10/10 service 10/10 atmosphere and 10/10 food

Came for a family dinner and the staff were lovely. It was super busy but our servers Jade, Daisy and Maisie and brought such good energy and made our evening! I had a Glazed Goats Cheese cooked by Chef Holly which was unbelievable! Definitely recommend.

Excellent customer service and attention to detail by our waitress on the day, Olivia. We would definitely go to The Ashton again and recommend the food and ambience and of course the first rate customer service. Thank you for a lovely time.

Stopped by The Ashton for a Sunday roast and had such a great experience. I have a couple of dietary things that can sometimes be a pain, but Liv was so understanding and really went out of her way to help. The whole vibe was warm and relaxed, and you can tell it’s a well-run place. Really impressed.

Went into the Ashton and Jade welcomed me and my family and was so kind. She was very helpful and respectful with our allergies. Recommended some lovely dishes and very good service. Would definitely come back again.

Lovely pub. Staff friendly especially Jack.

Had a meal and drinks here after work, was served by the lovely Maisie who me and my friend both agreed was one of the nicest waitresses we had ever met. She made our visit!! Thanks Maisie, keep on doing what you're doing!!!!

Had a lovely dinner here the other day, with my wife. Food was great, and the vibe very chilled. Was very well looked after by our waitress Maisie, who couldn't have been more charming. Thanks Maisie, and thanks The Ashton

Amazing Service from Daisy, Jade and Maisie. Served us with a smile and brought us our delicious food. Would recommend!

I just visited the Ashton and it was a delightful experience! The menu had a great variety, and I opted for the surf and turf, which was absolutely outstanding—full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly welcoming and ensured we felt right at home. Harry our waiter was very insightful and recommended some good dishes! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal. Can't wait to go back!

Great place for food and drinks!

. The decor was beautiful and very comfortable. Staff were welcoming and helpful but a huge Thank you to Harrison for great service and amazing food! Totally would recommend

George and Harry were extremely accommodating, made our night far more enjoyable. So lovely to have communicative bar staff, it meant we all left with a smile on our face.

Brilliant service, Harry was fantastic !

I came for a pub lunch here with the girlies and it was absolutely terrific! The vibes were vibing and my server jade was absolutely amazing! Very attentive and helpful. Food was also tasty keep it up guys 😃

Amazing service from the whole team, Jack, Rae, Maisie and Daisy are a few who stand out!! Every time I have come here they always over achieve!! Thanks again

Great location and fabulous service 👏 Jade was friendly and helpful , very attentive! Will be back soon ! X

Great Mothers Day meal and 16th Birthday, all rolled into one, Staff are great, food is scrumptious and great parking

For the same price other places in Bristol give much more food on the plate. The food itself is tasty, well seasoned, but sirloin pieces were wafer thin, half a carrot and half parsnip seemed a bit like a joke whereas other pubs in Bristol give cauliflower, more veg on the plate and thicker slices of meat. That just seemed overpriced for crumbs

Fantastic Sunday lunch in a lovely cosy atmosphere

Starting to become a regular! Lovely little pub, good location, clean and cosy inside. Extremely dog friendly - the water bowls / dog facilities are greatly appreciated! Really friendly and quick service and not to mention the best cocktails! We are yet to try the food but it looks incredible, will be back again very soon 😊

Came in for a dinner, had an amazing time. Service was excellent and the food was so tasty. Absolutely loved it will come again! Shout out to Harry and Jack and the rest of the staff.

Really gone downhill used to be best roast. Long wait, cold, small portions, just get a drink if you ask me.

Lovely food and lovely staff! Everyone working was so sweet and welcoming! Definitely would recommend.

Amazing service from Daisy the other day, served us with a smile and helped us out with any queries we had. She is a credit to The Ashton. Meal was also superb, cooked by Holly in the kitchen. Will definitely be coming back!!

Lovely place to go for food and drink after a walk round Ashton court. Great service from the lad at the bar, George. Me and my mates had a good laugh with him. I had the halloumi burger and it didn't disappoint! Would highly recommend and definitely will be returning soon!!

Very disappointed in the quality of the roast DINNER I visited on Sunday and was expecting for the price £20+ that it cost to be delicious, but it was very under whelming with one carrot a few hard potatoes and cold kale and peas... I wouldn't be able to recommend it to be honest as the service was pretty poor😕

Today we had Sunday lunch at The Ashton. We booked a table. This is the second time we have eaten at this pub. Last time was in between Christmas and New Year. Food was excellent and our waiter, Harry, was superb. I ordered the superfood salad which was absolutely delicious but a little small. I mentioned to Harry and he came from the kitchen with some more leaves, cucumber and dressing. He didn’t have to do that but went above and beyond. The pub was very busy and Harry, and colleagues, were very busy managing a number of tables. Harry was calm, professional and nothing was too much trouble. He’s a credit to the pub. We will definitely be back.

Took 45 minutes for a sandwich which was too hard and poor quality. Would avoid and not recommend to others.

Great birthday lunch. The Ashton is our favourite place as always enjoyable.

Came for a roast, was heaving but the staff were amazing. Special mentions to Daisy and Jade for bringing our food out efficiently and making sure everything was alright. Food was delicious, I went for the roast chicken and it exceeded my expectations!

Service very slow. Staff poorly trained and rude. Poor value.

Terrible service & incredibly long waits for food. Staff were totally uninterested in our grievances. Overall very bad experience sadly

We arrived for lunch at 12 with kids but the food was not brought out until 1.10. Someone began tidying or table after food but never returned. In the end we walked out without ordering dessert which upset the children. This was at 2.15. Clearly too many tables and not enough staff.

Beautiful, cosy pub with great proper pub food with exciting twists. Staff are always friendly and helpful too :)

Just had a lovely meal at the Ashton with three others, special mention to the assistant manager Dan who was so helpful, great customer service

Average food, reasonable setting, unreasonable car parking fines if you end up waiting in the car to be told there are no tables!

Unfortunately a really disappointing experience on an unseasonably sunny Sunday afternoon, clearly understaffed. After battling to get parked (allowing non customers to park for a fee presumably why car park is so overrun), we waited 5 minutes to be acknowledged and then told our booked table in the restaurant was unavailable due to backlog. Staff was not apologetic but offered either a wait or to be seated in bar area with bar service. With kids in tow we opted for the latter, which then meant a lengthy queue for our drinks, then food, then pudding (the latter of which we actually abandoned after being told how long the wait would be to receive the puds). Food was average - slightly cremated veg on the roasts probably symptomatic of our 3pm booking, albeit served promptly. On the plus side, staff did an excellent job of accommodating an allergy which was appreciated, and decor and ambience generally good. Had been looking to try this pub for years living in Bristol but sadly can’t recommend, at least not on a busy weekend.

We had a great evening here and were well looked after by the staff - special thanks to George behind the bar who was very kind and helpful. Will be back.

First visit and food was absolutely delicious and really lovely staff serving us.

My wife and I went for dinner, she got a meal with someone else's hair on the plate, I ordered bacon, the slow sugar was as hard as the sole of a shoe, the wine glasses were dirty and the beer glasses were the same. And the wine bar was full of dust on the shelves, as if they hadn't been wiped for 2 years. The chairs were also dirty, I don't recommend it.

Had lunch 6 people of all different ages today . Everyone’s meal was good and staff were helpful and even helped to save me money. Would recommend especially the lunchtime Chicken pie on the specials menu! Good choice for our vegetarian friend as well.

Cheers for the beers there! Cheers for food there! Cheers for the atmosphere there! Great staff and food

It was a fab visit, Harry was so accommodating, and Rae & Charlie gave us so many laughs. We will definitely be coming back. Cheers for the beers there!

I've been to the Ashton before and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. This visit was so disappointing because my husband and I don't go out that often, The positives... The staff were lovely. The atmosphere and decor are excellent. When we let them know the issues with our Sunday lunch they brought more (supposedly) hot gravy. The staff apologised and took the price of one meal off the bill. The negatives... After our drinks and beef croquettes (which were boiling hot and delicious) came we had to wait 50 minutes for our Sunday roasts. When they arrived they were luke warm at best. I had the pork belly. It looked insipid, there was more fat than meat and it was tough. The Yorkshire pudding was burnt. If the gravy had been piping hot it would have helped. We did ask for hotter gravy but it was still lukewarm. We left a lot of food and didn't bother with dessert because our visit was spoilt. Unfortunately it was a waste of money and I won't be going again which is a shame.

Great pub for food , nicely decorated with lots of large rooms for dining, food was fine with a great menu . Good sized car park make dmsure to enter your car reg when you arrive. Handy for visitors to bristol.

Had a great lunch at the Ashton, food was delicious. One of the best menu choices I’ve seen in a while! Harry our server was very professional, attentive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!☺️

Lovely pub, the server Harry was very welcoming, friendly and attentive! There was a lot of menu choice, the food was very yummy and lots of it! There’s a lovely garden outside that we will definitely revisit in the summer

Great experience at the Ashton! Served by the lovely staff of George, Harry and Maisey. Served with professionalism, speediness and quality. Would definitely go back again and make sure I leave another amazing review as so can’t recommend more than enough

Our first visit to this restaurant and it certainly won’t be our last! The food was to die for. I had the Panzanella Salad with goats cheese and I can honestly say it was the best salad I’ve ever had! Atmosphere was really nice and the young man running the place was super friendly and efficient. I can’t wait to return!

We often enjoy lunch at The Ashton. It is a nice warm pub and generally the food is good and the staff are helpful and friendly. This time I chose the mushroom risotto and it was sweet! It was almost like a milk rice pudding with mushrooms added. I didn’t want to spoil the event so I said nothing at the time. But I wrote to the pub twice, asking if it should be sweet, or had there been a mistake. They acknowledged my emails, but never actually replied. So beware of the mushroom risotto!

Just had a lovely lunch with my friend. Service was great, thank you Harry! We will be back.

Nice food, although would prefer served hot rather warm. Pretty expensive sadly. Good friendly service.

Lovely decor looks very inviting but goes downhill from there. Waited 15 minutes before we then asked a waiter if we could have a drink this then arrived the same time as our friends but they weren’t asked if they would like a drink had to grab a waiter again service was appalling more interested in setting tables for the next day. The area was very cold people actually eating with their coats on. Dessert was disgusting slices of apple on puff pastry (joke) Luke warm apple on soggy thin goo did not resemble any form of pastry. Will not be returning until they get their act together

We had a lovely meal at the Ashton. Jack our waiter offered a great service and was very friendly. A lovely spot and dog friendly.

Very nice pub, great food, loads of space for parking, just on the outside of Bristol, I had Steak and malbec pie which was delicious

First visit since the Aston has opened in it's new format. Interior feel and decor are very nice. Outside area is nice, but you feel very close to other tables as a lot are in the area. Food is good, but you do not get value for money. Portion sizes are small for what you pay.

Have been to the Ashton for Sunday lunch today. I had the trio of roast, it was lovely. There were three of us and we all had different meals. Each one was excellent. Much improved on previous visits. They gave the covid protection very well implemented, we were impressed and felt very confident. Thank you to the staff for courteou, efficient service. Will be back very soon, especially for the trio roast!

Great service and food as always Harry in particular was an excellent host so 5 stars for him

Excellent food and service, Harry was a star.

I had the most amazing and attentive waitress - Tara Francis. The food was outstanding! Very cool country pub located out of the city.

We came for a group roast dinner and were served by Tara. She was extremely polite throughout our experience and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The food was excellent and everyone enjoyed themselves. We will definitely be coming back!

Great service! Our host Tara was fantastic! Lovely sunday roast 👏🏼

Had a lovely night at the Ashton! Harry and George provided a good laugh whilst at the bar and the service was quick and efficient! Love coming to this gaff

Pleasantly surprised by our first Sunday Lunch in the newly refurbished Ashton. Excellent and brilliantly presented pub food. Worth reserving table as was busy.

The girl working is very rude and spoke to me like I was a fool she has got zero customer service with a massive attitude problem the young lad harry was amazing

I've been here about 8-9 times spread across a year or so. I've always been happy with the experience but yesterday was absolutely awful. The food took a long time to come out and when it did it was cold. Tasted OK but cold food is never great. Hardly any gravy compared to my friends so went to get more and that gravy wasn't warm either. One guy who served us at the bar was fantastic. I went to give the plates back to save them the trouble and the woman behind the bar just stared at me and took them away. The dessert must have been standing for a while too as most of the ice cream had melted. Looking at the reviews from Christmas to now on here it seems Sunday service isn't the best and unfortunately I'm going to have to avoid for a while and see if they get their act together. What a shame.

Service - was awful, when we arrived we were stood around for ages, the staff did not acknowledge us at all. Two were talking at length about tiktok, one was engrossed on their phone and another was eating. We asked for tap water several times but it was never brought to us. After our main we asked to see the dessert menu but nobody came over to anywhere near where we were sat for 30 mins so we left (paid at the bar on the way out with a gift card - I would not have paid in full if it had been my own money). Food - I had a beef Roast dinner (costing £22.50), it tasted okay but was cold (not even room temp). My boyfriend had a chicken burger which was also cold. The table next to us were complaining about cold food too. The wine was extremely over priced for that kind of pub and the quality (£13.50 for a large glass of pinot noir). Atmosphere - we were a couple and they sat us in a small side room out the way which was filled with families. The children were screaming (consistently) and a man in there was snorting repeatedly. The prices do not reflect the quality of the food, service and atmosphere. We will not be going back.

Fabulous eve by the fire with great food and service from Jade and all the team 208

Food was absolutely lovely! We also had amazing service from Maisie. Such a sweet girl! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Such a shame that such a lovely cosy venue fell very short on their food offering. I had a mushroom risotto which was beyond bland. Very disappointing.

Lovely place! I’ve been here countless times and it never fails to deliver. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is exceptional. As a regular, I highly recommend!

Had a lovely meal this evening, especially good value as we had a deal on mains. Loved my three cheese and mushroom pizza, so tasty, and enjoyed the cocktails. (Raffle number 213)

Admittedly we visited this evening because I'd been emailed a voucher, but glad we did. Met by lovely friendly staff and given a choice of table. The venue became very quickly full, so clearly the reputation is good. So...drinks were very nice, deal on cocktails, food really nice, especially the pizza and ambience cracking. Highly recommended. Raffle No: 213.

Just had lunch here, got served by Harry. The food was amazing, big portions. The service was lovely and attentive! Would recommend this place, and definitely coming again :)
