The Grapevine Brasserie in South Gloucestershire

We visited back in June after they reopened with new owners and a new menu. We had tried The White Harte before which has the same menu. We went for the Himalayan menu as it’s something different! Starters we had chilli chicken & chicken momo, both delicious starters. Mains we had Himalayan lamb chops & Gurkha chicken, both mains were really good and the lamb had so much flavour! Really enjoyed the food again & the service was good which makes all the difference. They’ve also got a really good IPA on tap!

The Grapevine is an excellent place to eat and drink. The food here is amazing and very well presented. The staff are welcoming and very friendly. They go above and beyond to make your dinning experience an excellent one. We would like to say a special thank you to Pryanka, Rubina, Binod, Prince and Josh. We have also had a takeaway a couple of times and that was excellent too. Thank you Grapevine!

Chose this place because they advertised Sunday food hours up to 9pm, and had what looked like a great Sunday roast menu. Rather disappointed then to find that a 6:30pm arrival time was too late for the Sunday roast menu! So Sunday roast turned into a variety of curries & chicken tikka - all very nice, with a helpful staff - but not quite what we were hoping for...

Food and service was incredible, our waitress was wonderful with our 1 year old son and the veg sharing starter was great. A little quiet in the restaurant section but would definitely recommend.

Very enjoyable - the updated menu is really tasty, with loads to choose from, and the Ghurka Chicken was incredible.

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it. Everything was just ok.waiting staff ok, restaurant ok and the food just ok with the price just on the high side for what was average pub fare. I understand that the family which has bought this pub has bought several others in the area,which has saved them from certain closure. So well done them as a ok pub in your village is better than no pub.so use um or lose um.

It didn't let us down. We had samosas, chicken momo's & salt & pepper chicken. Then himalayan masala chicken lovely lovely lovely.. Not only was the food 100% the staff were amazing. I am on crutches but as we walked though the door made me feel comfortable even opened the emergency exit to let me out rather than walking all the way round. Will defo be back so pleased they have taken this place over

Lovely Service and excellent Food. Really welcoming and clean. Plenty of onsite parking and easily accessable.

Great food and friendly service

Exceptional food and service! We have tried the Fishponds Tap and The Grapevine hits the same high standards from the same owners. Great quality and taste. We will definitely be back!

I had the best lamb Biryani (Spicy) in Bristol

Been there a few times now since the takeover, was a massive fan of the Fishponds Tap but having the same team just up the road now is wonderful if somewhat dangerous Always Fantastic Curries and brilliant service from the friendly team at the Grapevine Partner is a massive fan of their caramel latte macchiato and swears it’s the best she’s had.

Visited for a summer evening drink and decided to try the food. We had the prawn masala with rice and naan and the himalayan lamb chops. Food was excellent and full of flavour with generous portions. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Me and my partner came here for the very first time with family this evening and we really enjoy our meal very helpful staff and friendly I would definitely recommend here and I would definitely come back again.

Gorgeous food and service. Great portions too. Very reasonable priced too. We highly recommend a visit. We’ll be coming back

Delicious food Fabulous service, great atmosphere, clean , friendly staff, would recommend , well done the grape vine !

Wonderful no complaints with anything at all.

Popped in for a drink. Didn't fancy the ale on tap so ordered a Punk IPA listed as 550ml on the menu. When it arrived it was only 330ml. Didn't want to make a big thing so raised at the bar. Few minutes later manager arrived, no real apology just that menus were wrong & price was adjusted at till. When I looked the reduction was minimal. 2 mins later all the menus were taken off the tables.

Wow...the food here is outstanding. The Himalayan menu is excellent. Staff were attentive and the whole evening was a success.

Delicious food and great service

Went there for a meal tonight. Bland food (chicken listed as Tikka and was just plain) service was non existant (went to the bar to order and was told I couldn't, then had to wait 20 mins for someone to come over to us. Waited 35 mins for the bill). Shame as it used to be a great pub.

We've just been for a lunch, decided at the last minute, but they found us a table. There is an excellent selection of food for every taste, although we both went for a curry (one lamb, one veggie), which were both exceptional, as was the service. We look forward to returning!

Visited on a Friday night with a friend. Service was good, food delicious and reasonably priced. I had the chicken saag and my friend had the fish curry, both exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend

Walked in here last night expecting a village pub vibe to find all vert stiff and formal, a brasserie definitely not, a curry house I won't be back absolutely no ambience and extortionate prices for alcohol 😑 😬

There on opening day. Can't wait to come back to try the food

Nice place for the area! Tasty dishes, but not very good beer 🍺 And not all beer is available ((((

Love this place. Food quality is brilliant. Excellent service too.

Gorgeous meal! Will be going in person soon!

GORGEOUS!!! We have ordered takeout as both of us weren’t well enough to go out but was planning a date night anyway! The mushroom pasta was LOVELY! And came with enough food to feed a small family! (not complaining). We shall be booking a table shortly when we feel much better!

Lovey place for Sunday lunch, staff very attentive. Food was gorgeous and great quality but could've been hotter, it was cold before finished.

Excellent service and fabulous food.

With my Partner away for a few days visiting family, it was left to me to cater for my Son on his visit this weekend. My Son and I were busy working on an IT project, so I decided to offer lunch out. This was welcomed by my Son, and so the die was cast. We opted to take a 30 minute walk to this particular pub for our lunch. I had a voucher, for 33% off food, that needed to be used before the end of the month. So, it all ‘fitted-well’. I telephoned the pub just before leaving to check if we could get a reservation. The only tables available were in the bar area, rather than the restaurant, and there was only one table (with a suitable time-slot starting in 30 minutes time); again that ‘fitted-well’. Our small table for two, was just inside the door to the building and it was surrounded on two sides by a glass brick wall. The unusually strong sunlight for mid February meant that I had to squint to avoid being blinded, and my Son could feel the strong heat from the sun on his back. Not great seating, maybe some curtains would be a good idea? We were particularly glad of the refreshing iced tap-water that we had ordered. We both shunned the traditional Sunday Roast in favour of burgers; with my Son opting for the ‘Prime Beef Burger’: a 6oz patty with burger sauce and skin-on fries. I decided on the Korean Chicken Burger and skin-on fries. Both were served in brioche burger buns featuring tomato, gherkin, crispy onions and lettuce, plus a small pot of slaw. My Son’s burger was much enjoyed and he pronounced the meal as being “very good”. The evidence was plain to see, as only the slaw and the gherkin remained on his plate when he had finished. My chicken was coated in that familiar Korean-style sauce, actually called ‘Dakgangjeong’. The coating is supposed to be crispy and sticky, but the chicken inside should remain tender and juicy. I have enjoyed this plate whilst visiting the far east and the flavours today were a good facsimile. The problem was that the chicken fillet was too thin and had been cooked for far too long. The result was that the whole piece of chicken was entirely hard all the way through. I did eat it, as the taste was good enough, but the texture was a complete screw-up. My Son followed-up his main with a good chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream, whereas I abstained from taking dessert. Service was satisfactory most of the time, but placing the dessert order was delayed as waiting staff didn’t came for quite a long time, to check if we wanted anything further after our mains. I did get an apology for this issue, and I also got my 33% discount, saving me £12.48… result!

Lovely place and great that they now welcome dogs in the bar area.

Good friendly service, excellent food at reasonable prices

Cold and mostly tasteless food. Felt like it was cooked yesterday and reheated. Miniscule amount of mash in the roast dinner. Ordered a drink that I never received. There was a roof leak dripping on our table. Music was quiet. Staff was distracted. Starter of prawns was very unpleasant. The toilets were uncomfortable and not very clean or private. The worst part - our meal was served AN HOUR after we came in. There were plenty of free tables ariund us so I wouldn't say it was due to the busy period... I personally did not enjoy the experience and do not recommend their festive menu.

Fantastic meal on Christmas Day . Staff were fantastic and couldn’t help more. Food was outstanding. Definitely going to book again for next year .

Beautiful food... lunch for 5 of us .all empty plates.

Sorry but my shawarma was dry cold tasteless bits of looked like someone’s left over chicken edges served on limp salad one piece of feta and no obvious minted yoghurt . So disappointing as last time a succulent whole tasty sliced moist chicken breast with fresh accompaniments,hence repeating my menu choice. I am very well travelled and have to say you let the side down it was way below par for any class of eatery .Was told it was busy etc etc but that’s a real cop out ,the waitress offered me something else but was I expected to sit there amongst my friends eating after they had finished so asked for some coleslaw thinking to moisten it up sadly not !Such a pity as have in the past really enjoyed meals at both Mocha and Grapevine.One rather unsatisfied customer.

We organised a lunchtime event for just over 40 people. Absolutely brilliant. Good food, good service, good atmosphere. And the staff (especially Corinna) were professional, helpful and really patient. Thank you all so much.

Very nice brasserie with good food and pleasant service.

A great lunchtime venue. Food was excellent 👌

Family friendly restaurant with a good children's menu. All the food is really great the service is fast and friendly.

Food was lovely & staff couldn't do enough for us 😁

Didn't come for the food but the atmosphere was really relaxed. Great place to catch up over a drink or a casual bite to eat.

Fantastic food for everybody. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Sunday Lunch.

The staff were lovely very attentive. The food was delivered promptly. We were in a separate room for the Baby shower the seating was well organised.

First time here for Sunday lunch and will definitely be back, couldn't fault anything, absolutely spot on, beautifully tender beef, fresh veg, a decent amount of potatoes along with excellent service. Lovely to have somewhere as good as this on our doorstep.

Last time a group of us ate here the food was fantastic, I thought I'd have a burger this time, but it was overcooked,the sour dough bread was hard, warm chips. The only thing that was cooked properly was the peas !

Fantastic food and service. We were a table of 8 and we were all incredibly impressed with our food. The atmosphere was lovely. Great selection of drinks. Looking forward to going again.

Wonderful food , lovely staff and great atmosphere, will be back soon . Well done all there the menu was very varied to suit the whole family

We love coming here! The food is excellent, great choice of drinks and such a lovely atmosohere. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's our favourite local spot for a treat or celebration, or a quick drink on the way home from walking the dog (the bar areas is dog friendly).

Lovely food well worth a visit , best burger I’ve ever had ,Carnt wait to go back .Staff are lovely and very helpful

Never been before, but I'll definitely be back again! The online booking form was quick and easy, and we were welcomed promptly when we arrived. The service was relaxed and friendly, and we weren't rushed at all to finish our meal. Our food was hot, fresh, and delicious! my only minor quibble was that the ambient noise levels where we were sat (in front of the bar) was slightly loud which made conversation ever so slightly difficult, but given I booked it the night before and it was a Friday night I really can't hold that against them! I'd definitely recommend this for a lovely evening of drinks with friends or a meal with the family.

Really friendly and clean Great gluten free options and food is always consistent

Great menu and food! Friendly staff and love that it's dog friendly!

Lovely place went for Sunday lunch beautifully presented but unfortunately it was cold, would give it another go though

New menu is worth a look, lovely place, friendly atmosphere and great food and drinks!

Staff were very friendly....and food was excellent...would recommend it and will be definitely be going there again....

Lemon chicken, absolutely delicious! very tasty,will be back soon for more, , went back today and the lemon chicken was not the same,just chicken, which wasn't tender in a cheese sauce,and few small slices of toasted bread,no roasters or salad like before,bit disappointed, still the company was great

Lovely lunch today. Good size portions, wraps prepared fresh. Fantastic value and we didn't leave hungry! Great service too...We will return 💛

Tried the grapevine on a recommendation it didn't disappoint was very tasty and was a lovely pub to sit in decent menu for both adults and children

We visited to take advantage of their steak deal. It was great from the moment we walked in from the service to the food, couldn’t fault it.

Only had a snack but was very nice

Very friendly, welcoming staff. Clean restaurant. The food was fantastic. Wild mushroom tagliatelle and taleggio chicken 😋 both meals looked and tasted delicious. Will definitely be visiting here again 🙂

Lovely pub. Very friendly staff and great food. They were very understanding and accommodating of my youngest son who has food allergies.

Really enjoy visiting here, excellent staff make it feel relaxed, food quality is great, look forward to next time

Been here twice in recent weeks and the food has been amazing. Everybody had something different and each dish looked delicious! Cocktails great too.

Third time here. First time was excellent, second not so good and this time truly poor. 20 minutes to get a drink and it wasn't at all busy. Starter prawns badly overcooked. Feta cheese starter greasy. Main course shawarma dry and looked re-heated. Creamed mash lumpy. And to cap it all 10% service charge added. Wondered why it was so easy to get a table on a Friday night. The server was pleasant enough though.

AMAZING food, excellent service, lovely place. My wife and I had a wonderful time at The Grapevine. My only suggestion would be to have a larger vegetarian menu as we've almost exhausted it in one sitting! Don't get me wrong, the veggie menu was interesting and immensely delicious - not just your bog standard mac'n'cheese - it was just a little limited. We'd love to be back for more, different food some day! Overall, very enjoyable. Made a great anniversary meal. Reasonably priced too.

We got sat in the back room, which was dire....we hadnt booked to be fair to them, order was out quick, but would have to say it was pretty grim. The burger had some kind of curry flavoured relish in it which dominated the flavour profile and my partner had what I can only describe as a very very average hunters chicken type thing...didn't stay for desert as we knew it would be below par. Was our first visit back after a two year miss due to poor food. Won't be back in afraid....far from a gastro pub. There's way better locally for similar money. Sorry, I don't like to give negative reviews, but sometimes they're justified.

We had the Sunday lunch was ok just nothing amazing. The meat was tender but the Yorkshire went soggy, the Gravy was watery and the butternut squash puree got lost in the gravy. It was pleasant enough but nothing to rave about.

Roast dinner... Food was lukewarm, one had to be sent back as it was too cold. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were so hard and crispy. Badly presented on the plate Hardly any gravy 1 parsnip and gooey red cabbage. Definitely not worth the price and very disappointed. Burger ordered for one of us looked amazing a d told it tasted good... A voluntary 10% discount automatically to the bill was the tipping point into not returning ever again.

Food gone downhill. Batter on fish not cooked properly and medium to well done steak very red

Excellent Sunday lunch. I had the nut roast, the others had beef and it was all very good. Vegetables were perfectly cooked and the cauliflower cheese was delicious. Service was very good without being too ott. Busy but not too noisy to enjoy conversation

The GVB burger was a challenge but well worth the effort. Great value for money, beautifully executed.

Really enjoyable food. Highly recommended. We will be returning.

We celebrated my wife's birthday there and took my two boys. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, we were all full, and my two nearly teenage boys eat like horses. Would highly recommend this establishment. Would certainly go there again. Thank you

Large and well organised place, also very tidy. Lots of efficient staff. Food is OK (being a brasserie I was expecting something more specific than the usual English food). Bad note: the bill with the "optional" 10% service charge already applied. We are not US.

Went for lunch with 4 adults & 4 children Had an excellent meal enjoyed by all Overall very good service & food at competitive prices.

Been here five or six times now, not normally one to leave reviews but the food and service is out of this world, highly recommend!

Great food, but service was slow. It was Mothering Sunday though and they were very busy.

Had a meal at the gvb last night and was absolutely stunning amazing service could not fault it Would highly recommend 👌

Our meal and the service was top notch and excellent value! Great midweek deals too.

Really Great pub. Marco the magician was great. We had so much fun

Great service and big portions. Well worth the money and will visit again

Great. Really nice food, very friendly waiter and 20% off the bill on Mondays and Tuesdays. They’re also dog friendly now.

Lovely food, amazing service, quiet pub atmosphere

Really nice place. Went with family for mothers 60th birthday meal. Service was great. Really nice people. Food was AMAZING. But quite expensive, however you do get what you pay for! The Choritzo Lasagne was amazing and the Fish and chips was massive and tasty! Highly recommend 👍

Food was good, wine was very expensive

Good food with excellent service. Friendly staff as well.

Staff were great. Food was good. Good gluten free options. Will definitely be back.

Amazing Christmas Day lunch! Thanks to all the staff who worked so hard to ensure we all had a good time. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was good and we were looked after so well. We have already booked for Christmas 2023!

Nice restaurant with good food and good service

Lovely Sunday roast. Good service and friendly staff.

Been here a few times now, bar staff are always super friendly, lots of local tips too if you’re new to the area & accommodating if you haven’t got a booking, food is always amazing! The roast dinner is one of the best in Bristol! Lasagne and pork chops are also delicious. Drinks wise: they do a great Guinness & Prosecco is good quality & not bitter!

Great local pub. The staff are always attentive and the food always great quality. Highly recommended

Really really disappointing. 2 meals came out wrong, which they did correct straight away. The other 2 were different to what was described on the menu - so whether that's a printing error or a new menu that hasn't been updated in the kitchen yet I don't know. Really limited on vegetarian choices, you have falafel, falafel or gnocchi. I thought I'd try the falafel (as it was on there twice) was different to how the menu described it and I needed a pint of water to eat half of it as it seemed as it was incredibly salty. I don't know if someone knocked over the bottle of salt in the kitchen or if it comes that way but i couldn't stomach it. To be fair to the staff they didn't charge for that meal, and the waiter/waitress were lovely. But it was an underwhelming visit. We last visited in the summer and had really enjoyed it, this time we were left feeling cold from the draught and disappointed with the food. Its unlikely we'll go back, unless they change the menu again!

Christmas festive menu, good food, nice ambiance

Had a lovely evening, food very good. Service excellent and had a laugh with the bar man Jake which made our evening.

Excellent food, friendly service, definitely come again!
