The Channings Hotel Restaurant in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A nice place, has tables in and out, the meat had a good taste.

Great offer for students, very good staff and big garden.

Haven’t stayed. Food is average but GREAT value, service is very good and staff are LOVELY, Ingrid is particularly helpful. Beverages are also very good value,

Amazing roast turkey dinner, good selection of food and drinks. Lovely building and surroundings and excellent value for money 😊.

Came in on a Sunday for some food. Relaxed atmosphere, great choice of food and drink. Service was very good. Would definitely recommend. Tacos were really good.

Great value pub in Clifton! Back on form too 👌

Great service and top quality roast dinner for the price paid. Our server, the new manager was an asset to the team, made sure our food was ok and got us some extra sauces with our roasts.

Nice atmosphere. Mediocre food.

Enjoyable visit, really friendly staff and great location

Oh dear, where to begin. We came before an event locally. The pub wasn’t busy, and 4 or 5 bar staff on the bar. Ordered food, and nothing appears 20 minutes later. Went to the bar, to ask when we might expect food. The staff seemed confused, turns out order hadn’t gone through ‘as the kitchen printer was out of paper’! I asked when it might be ready, and told 15 minutes. 20 minutes, still no food! Again return to the bar, and no one can say how long. I now need to cancel the order to get to event. Takes 10 minutes for manager to sort out the tab! No apology from the grumpy manager, although one bar staff was lovely. I know things can go wrong, but talk to your customer, and if it’s gone wrong, don’t sulk!

Great location. Quite tired in terms of decor and maintenance. Tables were sticky and grubby and it was hard to get a seat. Not a great choice of non-alcoholic drinks other than standard pub soft drinks. The pink fizz 'mocktail' was poor and just tasted like an overpriced lemonade.

Been here few times over 6 years ago and loved it and also few days ago for dinner with my coworkers, delicious food good drinks on good price. We would've stayed longer if we didn't have work the next day 😀. The garden is very big.

A great value place to stay for the weekend when hanging out in Clifton. Lovely staff, delicious breakfast, adequate and clean rooms and a lovely bar.

A great value place to stay for the weekend if you are hanging out in Clifton. Lovely staff, delicious food, adequate and clean bedrooms and a lovely bar.

Nice area to sit outside in and was accessible for where we had just come from.Food wasn't great.Peas very hard...mixed grill small but helped the higher at least.No allergies given or to be seen.Bar lady had no idea about possible allergic food.nevermind.

Sunday roasts were lush, took some time coming out but it was super busy and was informed of this when we ordered, the gent who brought us our food apologised for the wait even though it came out quicker then we were told!

The room was absolutely fine but old building so it was cold when we went but the heating was working wonderfully. We did have an interesting visit from some keen ladybirds 😂 Not sure how they got in as we kept the window closed. The bar had a great selection of alcohol free drinks and the staff were really lovely. As were the receptionists both at check in and check out.

In the summer this pub is brilliant for a day time pub, the outdoor area is really spacious, nice seating, there's is choices of shade or in the sun and dogs are allowed in it. My one gripe is the bar is a bit too small when the downstairs isn't open for how large the outdoor section is. The staff try their best, but the amount of people when it's busy is just more than that bar can comfortably serve at a decent pace.

We had a drink in the bar and ate some reasonable (but nothing special) macaroni cheese. The service was friendly and the room seating was okay.

Great food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Cosy and comfy also.

I hired the bottom room of Channings for my birthday last night and had an absolutely fantastic time. It was free to hire and the bar staff were incredible, so nice and very relaxed even when we were probably getting a bit rowdy! The music was the right vibe and I hosted a quiz and the staff helped me set it up and everything ran really smoothly. The location is great and the drinks are reasonably priced for Bristol. We will definitely be back!

Came here for a drink and a bite to eat and was served by Millie. She was absoultely amazing, made sure we were taken care of and her energy and positive attitude was a bonus😍 Hats off to Millie! Will be coming back. 😄

My recent visit to The Channings for an evening of dining left me thoroughly impressed, despite the inadvertent timing of my arrival coinciding with a bustling weekend brimming with energetic uni students. Despite the lively atmosphere, the remarkable service provided by the dedicated team at The Channings remained unwaveringly exceptional. Stepping into the establishment, I was immediately struck by the charm of the dining area, heavily reminiscent of a bygone era. The tasteful decor and vintage accents added a nostalgic touch, creating an ambiance that I found immensely appealing. Securing a table by the window was an added bonus, offering picturesque views of the surrounding area and enhancing the overall dining experience. Throughout the evening, the attentive and friendly demeanor of the two waitresses attending to our table was noteworthy. Their genuine warmth and frequent check-ins ensured that our needs were promptly attended to, adding a personal touch to the evening. Now, onto the highlight of the evening—the food. Opting for the vegan beef burger with chips, I found myself pleasantly satisfied by the burst of flavors with every bite. The vegan patty was cooked to perfection, and the chips were delightfully crispy—a testament to the culinary skill of the kitchen staff. While the weekend crowd certainly added to the lively ambiance of The Channings, I couldn't help but imagine returning on a quieter weekday, when the pace is more relaxed, allowing for a deeper appreciation of the restaurant's charm and hospitality. In conclusion, The Channings is a hidden gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience. From the inviting ambiance, friendly service, and great food, to the vintage-inspired decor, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression. I eagerly anticipate my next visit, eager to explore more of what this wonderful establishment has to offer.

Ideal pub for University students, was a bit busy, but the discount was appreciated

We held a 21st birthday party at Channings in their downstairs bar which we had sole use of. Great bar, fantastic staff who looked after us so well, good value, decent food, and a fantastic night. Thank you!

Isn’t it strange how the bad reviews disappear. Terrible customer service and ignorant, uncaring staff.

Accidently attended their monday quiz night and it was lots of fun, staff were lovely and we came 2nd and got free wine so that is always great! Thanks for a lovely evening :)

Came to Channings for the pub quiz and dinner! It was so lovely, staff were super friendly and attentive. Clean and beautiful building. Would recommend to anyone!

We visited Saturday afternoon and the food was great value for money and very tasty. The staff were very polite and they are dog friendly.

Good food and good atmosphere will be returning with more friends soon for more drinks and discounts, Meg was great and a good laugh behind the bar 😊

Toilets were absolutely filthy, run down and stunk to high heaven!! I don't think its fair to charge £6 odd a pint and expect customers to have to use loos like that! Disgusting

I've just had a wonderful 80th birthday party for over 100 people in the function suite at Channings. Everything went really smoothly. And so many guests told me they loved the venue. The best way I can describe our experience is to paste an extract from the 'thank you' email that my friend and event manager Patti Heaven sent to Boris Kitanov, their General Manager. "Hi Boris, this is just a quick line to extend our sincere thanks for a first class event. The event was a resounding success. The attention to detail and hard work from Sasha has been simply amazing - well above and beyond. To say that Sasha puts the customer at the heart of everything she does is an understatement. We would be extremely grateful if you would extend our thanks to Sasha, who truly is a tribute to your Brand. Thank you again, to you and your team, for all the kind assistance and effort that made this event such a success." I should add that Patti used to run big events for a massive company in the financial services sector, so she has high standards. A month ago, I worried whether a local pub / hotel could live up to her standards: but I need not have worried. If you're planning a party in the Bristol area, check this place out!

We recently hired Channings as the location for our latest works social and were incredibly impressed by the service and venue! We were allocated an entire floor to ourselves, which was very spacious and offered a pool table, televisions (which we could pop our own videos on) and of course, our own bar. Specifically, we'd like to thank Sasha, Lucy, Grace and Orlagh for their service on the night - they were quick, helpful and sorted anything we asked for. There is also a large outdoor area, which was great as we were lucky enough to enjoy the sunshine. There was also the added bonus of rooms for any staff members to stay overnight! Would recommend Channings for any other function - business or non business.

Great place for an evening drink in the garden. Staff really friendly, especially Harry, who served us with our drinks and food with a smile. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely lovely place to go for a relaxed evening meal and drinks. The garden is spacious and had plenty of free seats. Food arrived promptly and was delicious. All staff members were extremely friendly and smiley.

Came here for drink after a stressful day at work. The beautiful garden and friendly staff was what I needed to help me feel me again 😊

Recent impromptu visit again last night. This is becoming a favourite bar to visit. Great staff, great food, great atmosphere, great prices. Will definitely be back again soon

I stayed here for a work trip and thought that the room was very nice with lots of space and a comfortable bed. The real star of the show was Ruthie (hope spelling is right!). She’s the assistant manager and she greeted me at breakfast with genuine warmth and lovely conversation. I misplaced some items and realised after I left and Ruthie had retrieved them for me by the time I returned. A genuinely lovely experience!

we hold a party here. their staff tried their best to help me make a reservation .we were thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service.

The people and the place. Stayed in here. We didn't want to leave-people were so very friendly,-from the manager Meg ,pub staff and regulars,the staff . The surrounding walks are breath talking, interesting talks along the way .

Been a while since I was last at the Channing’s. Went today for some food with mates and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had another lovely time again, glad to call this my new local. massive choice of gins to choose from with tonics.

The burger ( which I was advised there would be a wait on- for no particular reason? Why would a burger take longer to cook than the other meals!?!) Was very overcooked. Plastic cheese chucked on, hadn't even melted. Kids pizza was severely overcooked, to...

We visited as a group of 10 for a birthday meal. No real expectation... it's a Greene King after all. I requested the steak on the mixed grill to be rare. The image shows it's definitely well done... I'd hate to see how charred well...
