The Blaise Inn in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Love this pub. The barman with the white ankle-socks and the vogon-poetry is best avoided, otherwise superb. I've heard the food is great but have yet to try it.

Excellent food. Steak cooked perfectly. Fennel salad with greatfruit was very refreshing. Friendly staff. Very Dog friendly, too.

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

The welcome when we entered the bar by Ellie was very friendly and welcoming. The meal was definitely recommended. The service from Nathan was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. A very friendly pub by all of the staff.

Walk-ins advised bar snacks not available. Front of house unwelcoming and displayed irritation by our drinks orders, a bit Fawlty Towers, the server getting more exasperated as the drinks orders placed and the server got sloppier, (lack of saucer and spoon with hot drink towards the end), all seeminlgy too much trouble for them. There were 7 of us. There were some empty tables in the pub, approx. 35% empty. 2 staff members seen behind the bar, presumably there would be a kitchen staff member too? Unable to fathom issue regarding bar snacks. Front of house an easy free fix to encourage return custom; good manners and genuine friendly service with a smile :)

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

Excellent food and staff. Will be visiting again.

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.

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. 🤗

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful local and great food!

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!!

We went for Sunday lunch today, there were 6 in our party. Our food had just been served and the waiter brought over 3 glasses of wine, he then accidently spilt one all over my husbands dinner, the table, the walls as well as my light grey top, my babies white top and my husband's t-shirt (but it was black, less of an issue). 2 of them cleared it up, pretty quickly, grabbed another dinner and replaced the spilt wine. They made light of the situation and we laughed along with them. When the bill came, to my surprise, they asked for the full amount. They also by this point, still hadn't actually apologised for the incident. I raised this when they came for payment, they offered to knock off the cost of a glass of wine. Another of my party said it wasn't acceptable, so they asked what we wanted. He replied £50. The waiter then shouted to a waitress, 'they're refusing to pay.' A few moments later another lady came out. I explained the situation to her, STILL no apology, just an offer to pay a dry cleaning bill. We explained that would be a real inconvenience, we had eaten at different times, clothes were stained and still no actual apology from the business. She said she was a small business and they we can't just make up the discount, which I confirmed they actually asked for. Eventually she agreed to knock off £50. Another waitress came for payment and made a comment about the fact we 'obviously wouldn't be tipping.' When we left, my husband actually tried to leave a tip commenting that accidents happen. The same women who took payment threw it back on the table and said 'don't worry about it.' It's a really disappointing outcome and somewhat upsetting. The food was actually really lovely, and whilst accidents happen, there was still an issue. If they had actually apologised for the accident and offered a gesture of good will, however much it may have been, we would have more than likely accepted it, I really just wanted acknowledgement. But they didn't, and it turned sour. Accidents happen but the service failed here and they should have put their hands up.

Fabulous family owned and run pub. Without a doubt, the best Sunday roast in Bristol.

Nice pub and beer. Have now tried the food. EXCELLENT!!! Really was first class. Not a big menu, which is good as they can focus on doing it really well. Excellent desserts as well. Good, friendly service. Can't comment on the wine as we didn't try it, just not our thing at the moment.

Started off in the beer garden, which is excellent, and then later retired to the bar, the atmosphere and staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Very friendly staff food was excellent i highly recommend.

Excellent pub great customer service

Lovely atmosphere, good beer, wonderful food, good value for money, friendly service. Really enjoyed my visit with 2 relatives.

Good service and affordable drinks

Fantastic sunday lunch. Food was very good, had the roast pork, beautifully cooked with a nice selection of vegetables. Hadn't intended to have starters, but the menu was so tempting couldn't resist the cuttlefish. The service was exceptional, really attentive without being intrusive. Lovely atmosphere, it was very popular so would definitely recommend booking.

Mixed reviews on the food. The starter was very disappointing the cuttlefish (batter not sticking/falling off) The chips and mains were generally very good. Slightly above average sized portions Nice atmosphere. Lots of parking around on the weekend

Excellent service. High quality Sunday roast, at a competitive price. Thank you!

Lovely pub and staff. Tasteful decoration. People and Dog friendly! Toilets really nice and clean. What a find!

Beautiful small pub on the road side. Selection of good beers for thirsty hiker. Thank you.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Def recommend 😋

This is a great place to come to if you like top quality food in a relaxed environment. The staff are welcoming and attentive and the food is just exceptional. The veggie option was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Reasonably priced too. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic spot! Lovely people, great food, beautiful building & gardens. Such a warm welcome, will definitely be back.

What an absolute gem of a place to visit. Living in Bristol we're totally accustomed to travelling some distance to places that deliver incredible food, with an honest homely feel, which would give any fine dining restaurant a run for their money; The Pig, The Ethicurean, The Pony and Trap, The Newt… The Blaise Inn stands up to each and every one of these places. We visited today and were blown away by the food served. Just exceptional. Made better still as it was served up by a gentleman and lady who clearly enjoyed their jobs, clearly cared that we enjoyed our visit, and who with zero pomp nor pretence, made us feel incredibly welcome, at ease, and looked after. Sadly, this is a rare thing in pubs these days. An absolutely fantastic visit. Many thanks.

Fab atmosphere, lovely food, good selection of drinks, friendly staff. Totally recommend.

Great place to meet up with friends.

We had an excellent meal which was just right for a special occasion. We were made to feel very welcome, as was our dog. We will be back!

Lovely local pub with absolutely great food.

Very welcoming staff, nice ambiance, very good food, will definitely come back. We were a party of 8 and very well accommodated

Table booked for two, for lunch, bank holiday Easter Friday. What a warm welcome and an excellent level of service throughout our three courses. This was not your usual batch freezer/microwave pub food, this was fresh and soooo tasty. We were spoilt for choice and will be back for more!

Fantastic pub, amazing food and good ales.

It's very nice, but getting expensive for a pt of Guinness £5,30 whow

Friendly staff and customers. Good food and drink. Dog friendly. Nice garden. Cosy bar.

It was a cold wet Tuesday night not many people in but its somewhere I'd like to go again
