The Blue Bowl in South Gloucestershire

Seven of us had a family get together. When we arrived, the pub seemed quite busy but relaxed. After ordering our food we waited about 20 mins for it to arrive, which was perfect as we could all catch up. When it arrived, everything was piping hot and looked amazing, clearly freshly cooked. We would definitely recommend the beef and chicken burgers, pork tomahawk, tandoori skewers, the Gyros and the spicy nachos. We were all impressed, everything tasted delicious! Shout out the the kitchen team, they were obviously working hard but clearly know what they are doing. Becky was lovely and took great care of us. We'll definitely be back again.

Four of us met for a meal on a Tuesday evening. We hadn’t booked but were able to get a nice table. Although it was quite busy, it wasn’t noisy and because of the layout of the building (it’s a very old pub) there is quite an intimate atmosphere. My food salmon and roasted vegetables sizzler with rice was very tasty. Good service from Becky too.

We had a lovely meal at The Blue Bowl this evening. The service was excellent - Becky who served us was so friendly and chatty! We will definitely go back again.

Lovely meal but when I went to collect my daughters dessert (kids eat £1 when an adult eats), yes they said I’ll bring it over, it didn’t arrive and the “manager” made a HUGE deal that apparently I hadn’t paid a £1, bought my receipt over, even though we go every Monday, for over a year, and the bar staff confirmed my order, always the same each week, although they made a mistake but because I didn’t pay a £1 we couldn’t have the dessert?!?! Surely a big company like Sizzling Pubs could have afforded a£1 dessert whoever’s mistake it was?!?!

I went to this incredible little place today and the staff were so outstanding.. my favourites were jess kiera becky and jasmine!! ❤️ food was alright, had a good lemon and raspberry sundae 😋😋😁 10/10

Lovely staff, great food. Will definitely return.

A lovely bubbly pub hidden just off of the High Street. Both food and drink were lovely and we will definitely be back - shoutout to the salmon and the new tandoori chicken skewers, they're ace! Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic staff always make our visits worthwhile 👏👏 new menu even better and great value for money, we go every week and always a pleasure 👍👍

Great value for money. I had the big beef and can honestly say it was tasty and I dont need to eat again until tomorrow. The staff were very friendly. Was great to see that the staff cared about the presentation of the garden as it was being thoroughly cleaned. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Thank you to liliana for her lovely service when I ordered. And to jess for her lovely prompt service clearing our table. Will definitely be back.

I ate in the blue bowl last night for the first time....the service was great, the staff were lovely ..the food was extremely disappointing.. I had the salmon sizler . The veg was just onion and peppers (nothing green on my plate sadly ) the salmon was overcooked and chewy. The chips were limp and not nice. It took ages for it to be served but it was extremely busy. They offered us extra food as compensation.

Busy so waited about 45 mins for food. Ordered Fish & chips, hubby had a Burger his was fine, mine not very appetising. The fish was ok but the chips were hardly cooked very anemic looking but the garden peas had been cooked.almost to oblivion & had had all moisture microwaved out of them.It was tasteless.

Food was excellent quality and piping hot and the service was amazing

Becky was brilliant and nothing was to much bother. Lovely atmosphere and food was amazing.

The food was very tasty and very reasonably priced. Becky was friendly and very funny and happy to assist with any request we had. The atmosphere was very good and calm

I found Becky and the staff at the blue ball. Very efficient and remarkable

Lovely food, helpful and friendly staff

Had the 2 fish and chips deal today. Can't be beaten in terms of taste, value and service.

For what is you can't go wrong. Cheap food, reasonably priced and good service

My daughters surprise 40th birthday, had an awesome day , thankyou to the team at the blue bowl , Becky , jay and all in the kitchen, you brilliant

Went there for a family birthday meal. Quite put out at the bar as staff don't serve people in turn, this also happened when we went back to order our food. Waiting time for food to be brought out was 1 hour 10 minutes and only two of us were served. 20 minutes later the others in our party were still waiting for theirs, at which point we did complain - 10 minutes later everyone had their food. All in all, the stress of waiting so long kind of ruined the evening. We all had steak - either under cooked or over cooked and all were very grisly and fatty. Not impressed and will not be going back.

Lovely food and service 😋 in the sunshine

The staff are absolutely amazing and the food is incredible. Very very impressed. I will definitely be returning.

Superb food, great prices and parking with really helpful attentive a Staff Beki.

I visited this week with friends, all our meals were lovely, such a bargain, freshly cooked, couldn't fault it. Ordered on app, easy to use. Staff very friendly Booked a table before hand as it does get busy,

I really can’t fault anything the staff are always very friendly and chatty the food is always cooked and served perfectly the pub can get busy so a lot of people do book ahead but we have always found a table somewhere .the car park is small and usually full but the street has spaces so just a few minutes walk but well worth it .

Good atmosphere in a good location hence why I visit at least twice a year. Some items of food are poor, as in the chips which are clearly frozen and were lukewarm, but the saving grace was the burger that I had, even though the bun was slightly burnt it tasted great.

Food and staff just perfect, in fact we have booked again for 2 weeks time. Good prices for quality food. Staff can’t do enough for you.

Great pub! bar and kitchen staff very helpful and accommodating. Food was great!! Was not waiting long for my food! Great time management. Overall me and my family had an excellent experience and would recommend to anyone within the area!!💫💫

Friendly staff, lovely food a nice warm atmosphere, all staff and management are very nice and friendly highly recommend paying a visit any day of the week.

Amazing place will definitely be back for more!

My local pub where I am always greeted with a lovely smile - Tom is a great landlord and along with his soon to be wife Lucy they ensure a warm welcome to everyone walking through the pub door. Large garden which is a lovely place to sit on a summers day.

had such a lovely experience at the blue bowl! the service was amazing with friendly staff that went above and beyond for me and my family. the food was great, would highly recommend!

Good chain pub offering good value food! Staff were friendly and efficient. A little under staffed behind the bar, but those there working hard. Good meal.

Super friendly staff & accommodating staff :) Food is lovely & cheap, get what you pay for :)

My favourite place. Shout out to the manager tom and the best staff member lucy love it

Great pub. Ran by my amazing granddaughters husband to be. Lovely staff and food.

My family and I come here regularly, it's always good value for money and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Special note to Becky and Jay, both welcoming and good sense of humour.

Good food and value for the money

My family and I regularly eat at the blue bowl, it's always great value for money and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A special mention to Becky and Jay, both are friendly and have a great sense of humour. Wayne.

Great place! Good prices great food, modern contemporary, not over priced.

Amazing people, delicious food. Perfect place for enjoying and bringing the family.

Saved the day for us on a visit to watch a football match in the City. First choice was full and very abrupt but here we were saved a table whilst the car was parked up and from then on service was the best. Food was excellent and we were not rushed to leave. Thankyou so much.

Good value food.friendly staff .would come back again .chips could be hotter please. Nice steaks and salmon.good service

Lovely atmosphere, staff are very friendly and attentive.

Both myself and my family have been eating here regularly for over a year now, and have always enjoyed our evenings out due to the very friendly staff and good food at a price you would struggle to find cheaper anywhere else. The pub is nicely decorated and generally has a very good atmosphere.

The lady at the bar was very helpful and very approachable and freindly answered all our questions without a problem, the waitress was polite efficient and nice to talk to ,nothing we think needs improving

Had a breakfast this morning it was all luke warm very dissapionted .

Super busy! And even without being fully staffed they managed to provide a great service and delicious food.

Took the family for the sizzle offer via Groupon. Excellent value. Staff super friendly and nice atmosphere. Nicely cooked steak, no fat on it. Would have scored a 5 , but the chips were beyond awful, I couldn’t eat mine and I never leave chips they were hard, cold and tasteless.

Staff were friendly and helpfull and we enjoyed being out and about Thoughlly enjoyed the meal and would recommend the Blue Bowl to friends.

Lovely little pub, affordable and decent pub food.

It's one of the better pub chains I've been to. They're always friendly and it's a good family atmosphere. The food is your typical pub fare but always cooked well. All in all, a nice place to go.

Great food reasonable prices. Shame about the small car park!

Love this pub try to go as often as we can staff always polite and happy meals always tasty especially the prawns which I love

Great food, easy with kids. Good value

Staff were great food was fantastic

Came here last night with a few friends and our children food and service was great. Only complaint is one of you staff was over heard saying she wishes the children would shut the f**k up. I asked to take her name at the time and she gave me the name as Jay. Other than that a fantastic pub.

Fantastic service. Friendly staff. I love being served by Lucy and Jamie. She is so professional and very good at their jobs. Thanks to Tom in the kitchen for the amazing food. We LOVE COMING

Last time we went was quite bad but it has improved a lot. Food was hot and did not have to wait long. Staff was very friendly

Excellent food, Excellent service and very friendly staff. It was a pleasure to dine there. Thank you very much.

The food was good and reasonably priced

the food always very good we go on regular basis will continue doing this.

The meal was great. The staff was great. Spacious place. Very pleasant time.

A lovely night great food in a nice pub

Always brilliant service and food, staff are amazingly helpful to all. Well worth a visit but make sure you book it’s one of the hottest places in Hanham.

Great family meal at the Blue Bowl tonight. Food on point. Atmosphere buzzing, without being overly busy. All 7 in the party enjoyed it.

Beckie was serving me and my friends, she was very friendly, so funny and really efficient! It's our favourite place to come because of the staff, Not to mention the food is great

Arrived just after 8 pm and they had stopped serving food!!!! We were starving and would not even do us chips!! Just had a bottle of wine!

Great food lovely staff Great atmosphere

Great food and staff at affordable prices

Amazing time as always!!!! The girls who work there are fab! Always happy to help… never had a bad meal in the blue bowl ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Clean tidy and attentive food very good

Really friendly atmosphere, have visited on 3 occasions recently and been served by Becky each time, I found her friendly, helpful and although very busy she still made me feel welcome and not rushed to make my order.will definitely be returning.

Becky, Jamie and Jasmine made our visit very special and incredible. The service is fantastic and the staffing was incredible.

The lady behind the bar personified friendliness..She was happy and welcoming.. everyone warmed to her.

My husband and I visited on 15th September. We have been a few times before and always have had good food and great service. On this occasion, my husband had the mixed grill and had 3 small plates. Once again, the food was amazing. All came out hot and perfectly cooked. My only issue is maybe a couple more veggie main meal options would be good. We will be back soon!

Great place to eat and spend time with loved ones and friends we were a table of 15 we received excellent service great food which arrived hot and quickly and everything we asked for waitresses couldn’t have been more accommodating friendly professional would definitely recommend

Came here for a meal with colleagues and to partake in the quiz night. Food was very reasonably priced, it worked out only £12 each for main and pudding. Definitely recommend the quiz night, it was really fun and not just your standard quiz, there were a few different games involved.

If I was living near by, this would be MY first choice. All in all I loved it. The food was lovely. The service was really good, very friendly staff. Thank you, guys. I enjoyed very much. See you next year!

We have been here several times before but Friday the 13th September was particularly busy. We were told, understandably, there would be a 40 minute wait for food. The staff, Jamie and Becky were rushed off their feet but they were as efficient and pleasant as usual. Our food actually took a lot less time and all 4 meals were lovely. A really good place for great service, reasonable prices and good food.

Very good service, food was lovely.

Food is always lovely. Staff are very accommodating. We come at least 3 times a month

Staff really friendly Pub was clean Table reserved for us with highchairs set out Great value Children meal for £1 in holidays amazing for those with limited budgets

Have a lovely meal here - Tom cooked the steak to perfection and the service given by Lucy was outstanding would definitely recommend

My wife and I visited the Blue Bowl on Friday 23rd August. I had the mixed grill. Steak medium well done, chicken breast, gammon, sausage, and the plate came with mushrooms, tomotoes, fried onions and chips. Every single morsal of meat was perfection. The entire meal was very, very good! I honestly couldn't find a single fault. The staff were amazing, attentive and really good humoured. We had a great time, with very well prepared and cooked food. If you want great pub food cooked by a chef who knows what he is doing, I can recommend this place as brilliant! (My wife had halloumi salad and cheesy garlic bread. She said hers was great).😁

Nice atmosphere, good food, friendly welcome, fabulous staff. Highly recommend the Blue Bowl

Varied menu but served food does not match menu images in any way. I had chicken on a bed of vegetables and the vegetables were over cooked and bland, the chicken was dry and burnt. Dessert was slightly better. Prices are cheap so I feel the dinner was value for money. A small carpark at the rear and a small beer garden. Step free access. Service was good.

Great experience! Food was lovely and the bar staff, Becky and Kate, were very friendly. Will be back soon!

Husband loved his mixed grill. Food came promptly and was piping hot. Accommodating and friendly staff...swopped the tele to the Olympics for us. Need a few more staff behind the bar as getting served for drinks took a while. That was our only complaint. Will return

Becky and her team were fantastic. Thanks for making our night special.

The Blue Bowl is always our go-to when it comes to big family meals. The prices are good, the portions are big and it’s great value for money. As well as this, there really is something for everyone on the menu. The food isn’t outstanding, but I think what you pay for, it’s good. I went for the giant gyros and it was great.

Fabulous meal tonight Great service Well done Becky and all the staff

The atmosphere was friendly even though it was busy. The food was very tasty, nicely presented and hot. The staff were very professional and friendly. We will definitely go back, their menu needs exploring.

Good food! Don’t do roasts like they said on their website, but still good food.

Enticed back by 40% off mains offer. We were not disappointed, in fact food (steaks) exceeded expectation. A guy sitting near us said he was ordering a steak as he was impressed by the look of our meals. He was happily tucking in when we left. Becky, the number of staff who took our order and brought food to the table was lovely and professional. One down note was the toilets, still smelly and flush running constantly. However, overall our experience was good and we will return.

Been here a few times and have always had a decent experience but for me our recent visit could have been better. Ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and all I could taste was Coca Cola with a hint of the spirits that should have typically been made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of cola. My youngest daughter who works in a cocktail bar said that in her opinion it was not up to scratch. The steak plates that we ordered were good, but my Greek Burger was almost incinerated and with it being a Sunday lunchtime the place was so busy than rather complain I just ate the food. Pity as from past experiences I had expected more.

Good food, lovely staff. Would recommend!

Lovely food, pleasant staff and surroundings

Great food friendly staff Many thanks

Come to the blue bowl regularly and I love it. The staff are great, the food is great. Love coming here. Cheap and cheerful
