The Blaise Inn in Bristol, City of

Acabamos de visitar The Blaise Inn por primera vez. Sunday Roast estaba delicioso, no podía fallarlo de ninguna manera. El personal era encantador, atento pero no intrusivo. Excelente servicio, dejando el tiempo justo entre cursos lo que marca la diferencia. ¡No puedo esperar a visitar de nuevo!

I feel harsh giving this three stars but it is a balance of cost versus experience. The venue is lovely and the menu looked really exciting. The food arrived and was very well presented. At around £20-£25 per main it should be. But...we were both underwhelmed by the flavour of both dishes. Had it been cheaper this would be 4 stars but for the money it needed more oomph. Service was great and although packed and noisy in the main bar, we had a nice seat in the window and it was pleasant. May try again and amend this but overall...slightly disappointed.

El almuerzo del domingo fue uno de los mejores que hemos comido en mucho tiempo, la carne de res era preciosas patatas crujientes por fuera y esponjosas en el medio, Yorkshire's casero y un gran popurrí de verduras. La única desventaja fue la espera de 10-15 minutos para que nuestras bebidas llegaran a la mesa.

Absolutely looooooved the food 🧡 The staff were very attentive and service quick. Cullen skink was delicious, one of the tastiest dishes I've recently had. The roast artichoke salad was good too and the chocolate pudding was very rich and piping hot 🔥

Had a lovely Sunday roast was excellent

Disfrutamos de una gran comida en The Blaise anoche. Sí, la zona del bar estaba muy ocupado y un poco ruidoso, pero eso es porque es un lugar animado y agradable que a los lugareños claramente les encanta. Ambos tuvimos el entrante de paté de caballa ahumada que estaba delicioso, seguido del filete de onglet, cambiamos las papas fritas por papas fritas. El filete fue cocinado a la perfección y la porción de papas fritas fue generosa. Algunas críticas dicen que es “caro”, sin embargo, obtienes lo que pagas y la comida que tuvimos valió la pena. El servicio era excelente también. Sin duda volveremos.

We haven’t been to the Blaise yet but used to make regular trips to eat Louise’s food when she was head chef at Harvey Nix. I can only imagine she has gotten better and better with the freedom to create her own menu. Our family have never enjoyed cooking so consistently anywhere else and look forward to the day when we can make the journey. We envy anyone who gets to go here.

Lovely valentines meal and lovely staff / waiter nathen was lovely 🥰

Menu choice was very good, food well presented and delicious! Service excellent and I would have expected to pay more for such a great experience. Definitely recommend!

Qué increíble hallazgo mientras se aloja en la localidad. Visitó el viernes por la noche cuando el bar estaba lleno, pero tenía un ambiente encantador. Volví el sábado para comer. Comida increíble, servicio atento y un entorno encantador. No era una comida barata, pero valía la pena. Solo deseamos vivir más cerca para poder visitar de nuevo

We visited last year and it was excellent, so decided to revisit.....sadly, this was a very different culinary experience. The management have clearly been blinded by their success, the food wasn't anywhere near as good as the previous visit. The starter was parsnip soup, this was probably the best thing we ate, the cheese scone was delicious, the soup....not so much, £8 for a couple of shallow laddals seemed excessive. The main, roast beef....three small slices of beef (which in fairness was decent enough) a very very dry Yorkshire pudding and a sparce plate of vegetables that had been left under the lights for far too long, with literally a dribble of gravy. Pretty grim imho. Dessert, Morrocan spiced chocolate pot....one of the most disgusting things I have ever put in my mouth! It was topped with cardamom cream which was nice, but the chocolate was nigh on frozen and the tesure was grainy, almost like it was split. We won't rush back in all honesty, shame really, nice venue , nice staff, just really sub par food.

The roast potatoes were too dry to swallow. Starters were decent

Great beers and a lovely atmosphere. Wonderful courtyard garden too.

We had a great time at the Blaise Inn - food was excellent, pub is dog friendly and atmosphere brilliant after a lovely Boxing day walk. Small hiccup with our booking but staff sorted it straight away, very pleased with everything.

Lovely lunch, dog Friendly and very accommodating service. Faith was brilliant in helping us. We had a great walk round Blaise Castle and then cosy pub lunch after, perfect.

Qué decepción mi comida. El menú era extraño por decir lo menos y no lo que se esperaría de un pub de campo. Si planeas cenar allí comprobaría lo que está disponible. Yo y 2 amigos fuimos a fayre festivo que no estaba en oferta. Los precios eran altos y en mi opinión la relación calidad-precio no se entregó. Un buen ambiente y probablemente un buen lugar para disfrutar de una bebida, pero yo sugeriría no cenar allí. Ciertamente no volveré. Que conste que faltaba la presentación, sosa y aburrida, además de que el faisán estaba sobrecocinado. Ninguno de nosotros pudo terminar la dura y seca ofrenda. La porción compartida de fichas, sin embargo, era de primera clase.

Had a Christmas dinner with old friends here, fabulous food and great service

Wonderful local and great food!

It's such a lovely place just going up on the hill towards the Blaise Castle. And they were so nice, they brought after us even the Christmas presents that we forgot at the table. 🤗

Visiting it often. They offer German beer and selection of local beers and ales. Menu is small bit food is very good. I recommend trying the steak.

Good pub, good beer, nice atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Just how a real pub should be. Friendly atmosphere. The manager was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Food and drinks were 10/10 .What more can you say it's a Pub, use them or loose them.

Good food but very expensive. £26 for small hake portion at lunchtime in a pub in North Bristol. Daughter was hungry after finishing her meal so she ate the chips from my steak onclet, which was £22. Glass of house red was good and fairly priced. Will not return to eat as they are just well overpriced.

Comida buena pero increíblemente caro! 26 libras por una pequeña porción de merluza un viernes a la hora del almuerzo después de lo cual mi hija todavía tenía hambre. Yo tenía filete onclet, que estaba bien cocinado y era £ 22. Vidrio de casa rojo (Tentuta) bueno y a buen precio. No volverán a comer ya que se han fijado el precio fuera del mercado.

This is my new favourite place. The food is perfect everytime. Ive tried about 7-8 dishes now and have wanted to lick the plate every time. Menu does change but never disappoints.

Excellent food and staff. Return visit , food and service excellent. Congratulations to all front of house, chefs ect.

Just had drinks, well priced for area and cozy pub with a nice courtyard garden. Good selection of draught and cask, Thatchers Rascal is a rare find, was delicious!

The food was not what I was expecting from the look outside. Not the usual fish and chips or burgers. I had duck and it was really good, and a good selection of food on the menu.

Great traditional pub with decent atmosphere, good selection on tap and friendly staff.

Food is outstanding service and atmosphere match it definitely worth it.

Me encanta este pub. El barman con el tobillo blanco -calcetines y el vogón-, la poesía es mejor evitarla, por lo demás soberbia. He oído que la comida es genial, pero aún no lo he probado.

Excelente comida. Filete cocinado perfectamente. La ensalada de hinojo con gran fruta fue muy refrescante. Personal amable. Muy amigable para perros, también.

Nice local pub to have a drink around the corner of the roundabout towards the Blaise.

La bienvenida cuando entramos en el bar por Ellie era muy amable y acogedor. La comida era sin duda recomendable. El servicio de Nathan era excelente y nada era demasiado problema. Un pub muy amable por todo el personal.

Paseo - ins aconsejado bar snacks no disponibles. Frente de la casa desagradable y mostró irritación por nuestros pedidos de bebidas, un poco Fawlty Towers, el servidor cada vez más exasperado como los pedidos de bebidas realizadas y el servidor se puso más descuidado, (falta de platillo y cuchara con bebida caliente hacia el final) , todo pareceminlgy demasiado problema para ellos. Éramos siete. Había algunas mesas vacías en el pub, aproximadamente el 35 % vacías. Dos miembros del personal visto detrás de la barra, presumiblemente habría un miembro del personal de cocina también? Incapaz de entender el problema con respecto a los aperitivos en barra. Frente de la casa un arreglo libre fácil para fomentar la devolución costumbre; buenos modales y un servicio amable genuino con una sonrisa : )

Very accommodating, friendly and the food was delicious!

Thank you to all the team at The Blaise Inn for making my husband’s 60th birthday celebration so special in August. We all had a 3-course meal, variety of tasty starters, mains were a beautiful, skate which was so lovely, and the Pork Belly was melt in the mouth accompanied by community sourced vegetables. We all then indulged in various yummy deserts with a lovely chocolate message on my husband’s plate to round off a wonderful even. We have eaten out here many times and love that the menu changes often, we always take friends and family there too as the pub has an amazing atmosphere, friendly staff with the bonus of a garden with shaded areas, lovely spot to enjoy the rest of the summer evening. Thank you guys.

The Blaise Inn has changed payment system, customers que & asked what percentage they wish to pay on top of the bill.pubs don't have service charges & tips are given through choice at their discretion, not asked for.

Absolutely lovely food and great service, can’t wait to go back. Everything was cooked perfectly and beautifully presented and the prices are beyond reasonable!!

A lovely surprisingly quiet pub (next to v busy road). Nice back terrace for sunny drinking. Cosy bars inside.

Would have been 5 stars but very limited access/ parking. Otherwise a lovely place.

Really friendly, good food ,great local atmosphere for small pub .

great little spot for a Sunday roast and wine!

Had a fantastic time, excellent service, even better food

Food menu wasn't very clear to read for over priced meal. Felt robbed and will never step foot back into this public house again for definite

A lovely extended family Sunday lunch with drinks. The food was beautifully presented and all absolutely delicious. The vegetables for the roasts came out on a shared platter, which was a great way to make sure the fussy eaters could select what they wanted. Changes were accommodated and additional gravy etc provided with a smile when requested. The staff were attentive and personable too so we felt looked after. A great atmosphere!

Rude staff. Extremely overpriced. Avoid at all costs (costs! Ha!). Never go here if you want to a) not be abused by ignorant staff, b) want to avoid the necessity of extending your mortgage.

WOW. Last minute decision to pop out for a meal. You have to try The Blaise Inn. Lovely welcoming atmosphere, the waiter was fantastic, the food...better than the meal at 1 York Place. Both starters and mains knocked our socks off! Perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. Definitely coming back here.

Grate traditional food, generous portions and most of all super friendly and attentive crew. Thanks for the love you put in everything you do ❤️

Meal for five incl great roasts today with creative starters and deserts. Really liked the choc torte with orange sauce. Limited parking on site but plenty past the pub so don't be put off.

Genuinely nice pub, little cosy, not cramped

Went with friends after a hike around Blaise estate for a pint. Chef came out and gave us some free roasties and gravy. 10/10 best roast and gravy, legit insane gravy.

Fabulous food and service friendly staff Amazing Mother's Day lunch with my daughter 🙂

It's damn cold there, not very comfy and very expensive for what it is. Been going to this pub for 42 years in reality but hey ho, preferred it when it was saw dust and cobbles.

Great food and service. A bit noisy, but highly recommend.

After hearing that this venue had been recognised by the Good Food Guide, I decided to give it a try. The menu was very small and it was difficult to find anything that excited. Having chosen however, the starter of pork rillettes with olive oil toast, basically shredded pork with melba toast was fairly tasteless and served with two slices of thin brittle toast, which shattered on picking up (I thought we had seen the last of melba toast). The main course was the duck breast, which consisted of two small slices, in a sauce with a few potato slices, so thin as to be almost see through and two wedges of turnip and some dense greenery. The pudding of chocolate, Guiness and walnut was, I admit very nice and made up, somewhat, for the very poor starter and main courses. Overall, the meal was pretentious, underwhelming, disappointing and for, bread and olives, 1 starter, 2 soft drinks, 2 main courses and 2 puddings, at £100 (including a barely deserved 10% tip, not good value...with a decent bottle of wine and 2 starters, you would be looking at least about £140 for two. I can think of many venues in Bristol, that offer better choice, better food and better value, I will not be returning or recommending this venue to my friends.

The food menu is very limited, so not much choice. The food was reasonable but over priced for the quality. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The place has a nice atmosphere and an excellent beer garden out the back. Overall a very good place to go for a few drinks, but not so good if you want a meal.

First time in since it was just a local pub many years ago. Excellent atmosphere, great service and food. All good 👍

We were staying at a nearby hotel, so visited here for a light lunch and then later for dinner. The food was really good and they were also really good about catering for my simple tastes. My husband is far more adventurous with food and he really loved his meals. He also really loved his White Port cocktail. Staff were so friendly and helpful

Great pub with a small bar section and restaurant area. Plenty of outside seating as well. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Lovely little pub, though the menu looked delicious, and despite also looking lovely on the table, the taste wasn't really there. The salad starter had all the right elements, but they just didn't seem to work together. The duck was disappointingly very overcooked, dry, and tasted of liver, it was not a good dinner experience for two people. The onglet steak actually had a really nice flavour, so we were happy that it didn't need a sauce at all. Maybe on a different night, things might come together a bit better.

Quite limited menu but still difficult to choose as many of the dishes looked fab and it's only a small place. Friendly service from the waiting staff but seemed to be some confusion, next dishes brought before previous ones clear away etc. but they might have just had some new staff. Food was great, really flavourful and perfectly cooked.

Everything was amazing but one thing did let the experience down: we were sat between 2 very noisy families with kids. It was impossible to relax whilst they were there and at one point dominos were literally thrown at us. While I know you can't choose your customers, perhaps re-arranging the seating and putting the dominos to one side might be a good idea... please don't take this as criticism, you have a lovely pub, the prices are great, the staff lovely and the food was DELICIOUS! 😊

Asked to move because we were placed about 50 centimetres from a loud party, I genuinely could not hear a thing my husband was saying. The barman said it was fine the lady with the dark hair became very rude and said it wasn’t possible despite there being mostly empty tables and we explained that we can eat fast. Then shouted after us after left before our food arrived. It’s a shame because there’s not many nice local places to eat but I don’t feel comfortable returning.

Really nice pub - very good beers. Will make sure to go again the next time we go for a walk around Blaise.

Lovely pub , good food & most importantly lovely people.

Food was faultless. I had game with polenta. -very flavoursome . Wine was excellent . Fantastic relaxed atmosphere . Great value for money

An ok Sunday lunch but not a top pick compared to numerous others in Bristol at the price point- A bit basic & the ambience not really there ....

Had a lovely late lunch and felt very Christmasy . Staff were great and the food was excellent

Came here about a month ago and the food was amazing, so we booked again, this time we were put on the end room which was very chilly, the food came out which was quite small with alot of roast potatoes and luke warm. We will not be returning.

Fantastic food and superbly friendly staff, they always look after us when we come to visit, as well as take extra special care of our children when they are being curious. I always recommend this place, where everyone goes above and beyond. Looking forwards to the next visit!

Okay food but expected better for the price - mostly easy pan-fried dishes made seem more special by fancy culinary language. Kitchen a bit slow despite not many customers.

Lovely gastro pub. Food is good but could be better. Prices are ok but £4 for 3 polenta chips or 3 slices of bread seems quite a lot. The rum raising cheesecake was delicious!

Roast dinner was amazing for my first time eating their.. service was amazing, ill defo be goin back

Excellent meal a really enjoyable meal out. Chef ex Harvey Nicks Highly recommend.

This place was recommended, and it didn't disappoint. The menu wasn't large, but it had something for everyone. Staff were very friendly and cheerful. Probably try a Sunday lunch after a walk around Blaise.

Went for dinner with friends recently and this pub has a lot of charm and a vibrant atmosphere and is clearly popular with the locals. All the food was prepared really well (my plaice was cooked beautifully and the polenta fries are perfect) although each dish lacked something to make it great. Pub food is getting better and better so it takes a lot to create a really memorable pub menu these days and unfortunately this wasn’t one of them (yet) but we enjoyed our evening all the same and the service was fantastic. Worth visiting because this pub is clearly loved by a lot of people and you can sense that as soon as you walk in.

Brilliant pub - lovely atmosphere, fairly good pricing and a good range of Bristol Brewery drinks, they're always rotating. Few board games to play while you have a pint.

Greeted by a friendly young lady who happened to be our waitress, who showed us to our table. My son and i choose the steak and my daughter had the vegan option. All three meals were absolutely delicious. The desserts were just as impressive. Good price for excellent food and service. I also enjoyed the background songs that were being played! Thank you for making what was a bittersweet day for us a little brighter. Will definitely return.

Just in for drinks. Staff really welcoming and a great atmosphere. Looking forward to trying menu next time

Meals were great 4stars because their wine and digestive menu needs to be slightly upgraded Staff were friendly

What a great meal we had, the meat just broke up tasted delicious, it is a real old pub setting lots of atmosphere. Service was excellent, I believe the waitress serving is part owner with the chef, not just 100% on this fact. Worth a visit Merc

Really nice roast, 10/10 definitely going back

Food extremely good. Well cooked, tasty and well presented. Had the braised Rump which was very good, and wife said her Onglet Steak was very good too. Only downside was we waited about 25mins for our food but it could be that we were the first sitting for the evening, having booked a table for 6pm. All told it was a very nice meal out in a lovely Pub.

Have eaten here a few times now and each time have had lovely meals. I'm vegetarian, but as menu changes regularly, have never had to repeat meals. Wine prices not a rip-off like chains always are ... hello The Ivy! Can park on Kings Weston Road and walk back if car park full. Often packed in evening, quieter lunch time. Need to book in advance to be sure of a table.

Really nice atmosphere, service was impeccable. I went with the recommended drink and it was wonderful. An enjoyable experience overall.

Un pub assolutamente sorprendente. Abbiamo cenato gustando piatti curati, con ottime materie prime e sapori davvero eccezionali. Tormeremo di certo.

Went here for a Sunday Roast. The food portions were very small and the lady who collected the bill with dark hair became quite rude when I told her the portions were small. The bar area was also full of flies. This place does not have a Michelin star either, despite some people being under that impression.

Just finished a truly delicious roast dinner at the fabulous Blaise Inn. Roast beef was tender, rare and perfectly cooked, perfect portion size, couldn’t eat a thing more! ! The veg particularly the beets, cauliflower cheese and carrots all done to perfection! Staff extremely attentive and a breath of breath air to have such a varied and delicious wine list. Def one of my favourite eateries in Bristol. Puds pretty good too! All extremely good value for such high quality food. Will def come again!

Went for a mid week lunch, very nice food, and lots of interesting dishes

Do not believe a bad review, maybe they just had a bad day. This pub and restaurant should be commended for amazing food, great drinks & a lovely atmosphere

Friday night dinner for two. Delicious and hope to return soon.

Slow, incompetent, clumsy service. Barely mediocre food. Devoid of atmosphere. The waitress effectively threw her toys out of the pram when my response to "What percentage should I add to the bill for service?" was "Zero." AWFUL place - shall never return

Excellent food, excellent service . Really enjoyed it

Lovely quaint British pub,nice seating area outside

Brilliant Sunday lunch, catered to all of our needs 😀

Came across this place while looking for some food during a long drive up north and we were lucky enough that the restaurant could fit us in. The service was great and food was absolutely delicious. We had a selection of starters, fillet of hake, duck and the onglet steak - all of which were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Would most definitely recommend!

We decided to get bar snacks as starters didn’t excite us. The polenta chips were flavourless and the deep fried Brie was cold inside after cutting open but was replaced . We waited a long time to order drinks. We also waited a long time for the steak and chips and although the horseradish sauce was nice it would have been better to have it in a separate pot rather than all over the steak. To finish off we have someone else’s drinks £14 added to our bill. Not impressed!

At first lovely staff , then we had a glass of wine dropped by the waiter all over the table and laps . When asking for some relief on the bill for inconvenience and ruined clothes, we were met with a very passive aggressive lady from the kitchen, the tip that my friend gave to the waitress was thrown back onto the table . Will NEVER eat there again . Avoid

Great spot for a Sunday roast, we had the pork belly and it was delicious and cracking nice and crunchy! Potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were crispy and you can tell homemade!! Rhubarb crumble for dessert was sweet and tangy with gorgeous custard! Would highly recommend!!
