The Hideaway in Bristol, City of

I feel very strongly about writing positive reviews in a world where everyone likes to complain. My husband and I visited today at lunch time for my 40th birthday. It was perfect, our waiter Josh/Joshua was so lovely. Prompt with clearing away dishes and taking orders but not so that we felt rushed in any way. He was chatty to make us feel welcome but not so much that that it was overbearing. The food was incredible and very filling, fresh delicious tasty food at a good price point. Great for a vegetarians where normally there would only be a few options. The interior and atmosphere was lovely on a Monday lunchtime, music in the back ground but not too loud. Everything about it was perfect and we've already told so many others about it and will definitely be coming back in the evening when I'm sure it looks beautiful. Sorry we are so fast because the food was so good we didn't take photos.

I had Cajun chicken burger, it was so dry and chewy I couldn’t eat it. When waitress took plate asked if it was ok, I said no it was too dry and chewy to eat. She said oh sorry. Still kept it on bill. Paid but will never go back, also I will discourage anyone else to eat there. It’s overpriced too.

Sadly we were disappointed with our visit. The service was slow and it wasn't very busy. The food itself was tasty but the portions were very small, especially for the price. The burger was the best size, but the duck and pork needed more vegetables with it. The child's chicken and chips had 2 small chicken strips for £8. Our four meals and soft drinks came to over £90, but we left hungry. This was raised when we paid and the server said they would raise it with the chef. Nothing else was offered. We went elsewhere for deserts as we were hungry still.

Lovely food and atmosphere with very helpful staff.

Love this place, Dog friendly too.

Very friendly lovley atmosphere welcomed out two dogs will be visiting again

We have been here a couple of times when it first opened and the food was so poor we never returned. However we heard they hired a new chef with a new menu who had worked in a Michelin star restaurant. We were very hopeful but as we arrived we were told the chef had left and the food was very average although marginally better than last time. Our sons Spag Bol had no bolognaise. We ordered the chateaubriand with red wine jus, pretty sure that wasn’t what we had and the jus had no flavour. Great venue but really poor food. Must be a management issue as it could be so good!

Had breakfast which was good but won't return as my coffee wasn't even half full! The menu didn't say what you got with the various breakfasts & when asked it still wasn't clear.

Well me and my friend went for coffee and something to eat, we went at 4:30ish we were told we had only 1 hr as they we're closing . We thought it’s ok we won’t take more than a hour . We got cheese toast with chips .. well, enjoyed the coffee which was lovely . Even though we were told that they were closing soon we had to wait for our food which took a while and then we’re were served chips which was obviously refried ! We paid £22 for that .. Basically I thought they were trying to get rid of us .

Really enjoy coming here, always made to feel welcome and the food is great 😊

Stopped in for lunch, spacious and clean interior, had the fish and chips which was excellent. Salmon dish and dessert, with beer and wine all went down a treat.

Absolutely lovely meal today and we always love the book area for our 4 year old to keep him entertained while we’re waiting.

Enjoyable place to visit. I only had coffee, no food.

Poached eggs on toast and Cappuccino. Nice food. Friendly staff. Would revisit.

Great service from Steve and other servers, lovely food, nice surroundings. Lovely little area for children.

Josh was great!! So welcoming and such good vibes. Gonna come back v soon. Thanks Josh!

Josh was a breath of fresh air. It was so refreshing to be served by someone who is passionate about their job and values customer service. (Seems to be a rare occurrence these days) the food and coffee was on point, also good value for money. Nice atmosphere and music. There is nothing we could fault about our experience at the hideaway. Ticked all the boxes. We are looking forward to our next visit!

As always, delicious food (duck breast and steak) and wonderful service. Only request would be to put the burger, fish&chips and risotto back on the menu, as well as the new high-end dishes, as they were really delicious and great value when you wanted something less “posh“ of an evening.

Delicious food, good value, beautifully presented, and always something interesting to try. Combined with the elegant decor and chill atmosphere - it's 100% worth the detour. Big thank you to Eddie and Kesi for making me so welcome, and my compliments to the chef!

Quiet because it’s August, but service was A1 and between the chef and waitress made you feel very welcome - liked the fact they gave us a freebie starter.

Always amazing food! Staff are very accommodating, helpful and friendly! Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly!

Great place, yummy food and good atmosphere. Steve was so professional and super welcoming.

Lucky to have this restaurant/bar as my local! Great for any time of day, spacious with lovely decor. Recent change of menu with lovely food and friendly staff.

Always great food and drinks. We had a cocktail night and Josh did the best margaritas!

Found by chance as nearby, will definitely visit again. Lovely, polite & friendly staff, fab food options (with gluten free options also), lovely made coffee and premises spacious & clean. Highly recommend

Lovely Sunday lunch. Good staff tasty food nice atmosphere

Greeting at the door was very friendly, all the staff were very polite in making conversations. Food and drinks were very nice and presented well. Reasonable prices in a lovely location. Excellent service, highly recommended.

Josh is an absolute geezer!!! had great drinks. Great atmosphere too.

Friendly service lovely place for quick drink or proper food will be back

Mixed experience here, last time we went they were shutting the kitchen as we went in. Ordered quickly, but food wasn't the greatest. Could be that we got the bottom of the barrel chips, so maybe just unlucky this time? We've been a few times before and didn't have any issues, so maybe it was a one-off... Update, was definitely unlucky that last time! I went since and it was definitely better. Dessert offerings were a bit underwhelming though.

Excellent breakfast my new local spot, steve & ed are amazing great friendly hosts made us feel very welcome. See you again soon

Nearly licked the plate! Food was delicious. New menu is a winner.

Lovely venue, lovely food and especially lovely staff!!! Will be coming back!!!

This was not our first visit but it was for the friends we took. I have reviewed them before but our friends were so pleased with the visit they asked us to review anew. I'm sure the notice said that for every member of staff I mentioned there was 10% discount 😁 - Steve, Josh and especially Aly were good fun. The Gnocchi was a let down but the topside of beef and the duck salad were delicious. If you enjoy a Chai Latte, try this one but make it "dirty" 😄. With desserts or cake to £30pp. Plenty of on-road parking. We will be back!

Nice spot for lunch, good menu and prompt service.

Nice outside Area friendly staff and happy hour on a Friday 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Thank you for making Father’s Day so special! The food, service and atmosphere was all excellent, thoroughly recommend! “The best roast I’ve ever had” tells you all you need to know!

Best roast ever! Absolutely lovely food. Totally recommend

Very nice food and very nice staff,

VERY friendly staff, excellent food

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Dog friendly.

Thanks Eddie for being such a lovely host, so welcoming. Food was great, well cooked, presentation and very tasty. We booked for my husbands birthday and not disappointed, cocktails good too. Dog's are welcome! Bonus !!! Looking forward to trying your Sunday roasts next. Kind regards Pandora xx

Friendly staff, great food, and child-freely. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Fantastic place, amazing food and service for very reasonable pricing!!! Eddie's service was absolutely fantastic, and for this food and experience I will be back again 😍

Great place to visit, friendly staff and reasonably priced food.

I had an excellent meal here last Thursday! The lamb was very nice indeed, tender and cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous. My wife had the pork belly which was excellent! The bread and olive were a lovely start to the meal. I'd thoroughly recommend. The service was very friendly and professional, too. I'd definitely return.

Really friendly staff- loved it

Lovely food and the service was great. Very funny and entertaining service from Josh and Eddie

Shocking to be completely honest. Went for the “Door Stop Sandwich” £14 so when you read the title and the price tag I’m expecting a serious sandwich. What actually turnt up was terrible. I’m shocked they can even serve it up and expect people to be happy with it. Check out the photos, not door stop bread just normal sliced bread , with the 1 sheet of prosciutto , I was impressed how bad it actually was 😂 I’ve had better sandwiches in a Tesco meal deal. Wouldn’t recommend this place at all, I’ve been a couple times and it’s never been great but today’s experience was the icing on the cake for me. Over priced , over marketed , rubbish! A business just trying there luck price wise because there down the road from Stoke Bishop. Save your money and your palate venture out 10 mins you have Gloucester Road , Henleaze , Redland, plenty of good places.

What a awesome place for family and friends gatherings. They elevate the tradicional dishes (such as a hamburger or the fish and chips) to the next level. Delicious! I love it! Yes, it's not in there City Center but going there worth it! Trust me.

Visited for a lunch with my friend’s Mum for her birthday. I’m leaving a review as the service we received was excellent. The lady serving us was charming to us, found us a nice table in the window and really went the extra mile. Thank you.

Went here with my wife for dinner last night. Sad that they were so badly supported, especially on a Friday evening. I don't think this in any way reflects the quality of the food or service which were top notch, it's purely a reflection of the location and possibly belt-tightening due to the cost-of-living rise. I had the saddleback porcerra with colcannon and red cabbage and it was really delicious with a rich, unctuous (spelling?) gravy. My Mrs had the classic burger which she also thought was very good. All washed down with a very pleasant bottle of Temperanillo. The service we received was efficient, polite and attentive. I will go back again based on my experience last night, no hesitation. I just hope that the restaurant get's more custom, they are certainly deserving of it!

Lovely place, highly recommend! Staff are always incredibly friendly (Minnie the dog loves Steve and Josh)!

Went for 60th birthday party, friendly staff, tasty buffet food. Great time had by all.

Worst service iv ever experienced. 80 minutes we waited for a portion of muscles and when we finally got our food it was Tasteless and overcooked. I will never go back and recommend you don't

We had the Sunday roast for 4 people today. The service was extremely slow , our drinks came after our food even though we ordered them first ( white wine was warm ). Service was quite disorganised , though there seemed to be lots of staff. The beef my friends ordered, they said was very pink with not much flavour. It was very diffiicult to cut with a normal knife. The nut roast was more of a pie with no nuts, and it didn't come with a Yorkshire pudding as everyone elses did? Bit weird. My roast pork was good , but the potatoes (hiding beneath ) were a bit tough and not crispy. Gravy would have been nice on the side , so we could add as wanted. but again not much flavour, seemed to lack seasoning. The vegetables were definitely the high point . We took friends who were visiting Bristol, but though the food was overall not bad , the poor service made it a bit embarrassing. We have visited before for breakfast, and the service was much better even when sitting outside. It's a lovely place , a bit sad as it could have been so much better, maybe needed a bit more of a steer to the wait staff.

First time here, for a friend's 80th birthday 🎂 absolutely lovely. Good food, excellent service.

Great food, served quickly despite it being very busy. Very noisy but it was busy.

We came for an early dinner so it was quiet for the first hour. Food was good and perfectly cooked. Very friendly service.

Went there for buffet after a funeral. Food was quite nice and staff helpful. They have high chairs for toddlers but be careful as they are quite small and can topple easily. My grandson is 10 months old and it was difficult to extricate him after.

Had the fish and chips was very good.

Good food, excellent service, convenient.

We hosted a dinner here for guests for a special birthday event for my husband. From first contact to the dinner itself, Steve and Steve and James were so responsive and the evening was a great success. Everyone had clean plates as the food, even though they were bringing out a lot of plates at the same time, was of the same high standard as usual. Our guests all thoroughly enjoyed the evening and all commented what a lovely venue we had chosen. Many are planning a return visit. I must also mention Purdey, who looked after us on the evening (alongside Steve) and was a delight. And the kitchen - although I am afraid I cannot name check them (sorry) - still smiling at the end in spite of the busy night. Thank you Hideaway for a fabulous evening.

We popped in last Friday (mid Dry-Jan for many!) for some food & drinks. Both the bar area & restaurant were nicely busy. The bar staff were, as always, super friendly & their service & interaction definitely add hugely to the welcome, atmosphere & overall experience of this stylish bar restaurant in BS9. The Hoisin Duck & Chilli Chips are so good! Thank you to Team Hideaway!!! Ian & Nikki

It’s really hard to find tasty and filling meals when eating out with a food allergy/intolerance and hideaway has fantastic food options for those with allergies is gluten or dairy free. Staff were so accommodating and conscious to make sure food was safe. Highly recommend!

First time here, just happened to be in the area. Lush family friendly place. Staff were well nice and the setup was lovely for the kids. Would be a regular haunt if we were local for sure

Nice place, ordered a doorstep sandwich which came in Kingsmill bread which was disappointing, otherwise fairly sound.

I booked a table for 13 people weeks in advance which was confirmed. I turned up, and was very rudely served by a staff member and was told my booking was for the following day! I was extremely upset and disappointed. They couldn't even be bothered to come up with a solution or alternative. I will not be taking my business here again and would urge others to be cautious when booking with this restaurant. A miserable experience overall.

Very disappointing Christmas lunch for 20 family members. No cranberry for the turkey, no mushrooms for the mushroom bake, no steak...all pre-ordered months ago 🙄 mould on the Tiramisu, which they said was from 'burnt wood' in the kitchen 🤔 they did eventually replace with a "non burnt wood"/mould Tiramisu after we insisted. Sadly the customer service (apart from one member of staff) was laissez-faire to say the least.

Delicious food and the best service I have experienced in a long time. Warm and friendly service.

Had a lovely pre Christmas brunch with the family, great food and service in a lovely interior, fresh and relaxing, hideaway is spot on and a great discovery.

Visited for Christmas dinner and absolutely loved it! Friendly staff, delicious food and perfect for kids. Really child-friendly (we loved the kids area) and would 100% recommend. We wish more restaurants were as welcoming to families.

The food here is absolutely amazing. i can't rave about the hideaway enough. The staff are so helpful that nothing is ever too much trouble. We love coming here for a lovely spot of lunch 😋 😍

Lovely food. The veggie Wellington was to die for. Service was great too! Very friendly and attentive. Would 100% recommend 👍🏻

Fabulous gluten free options! Had a lovely evening meal with my father who is Vegan and gluten free and there were plenty of options. Delicious food and excellent service from Anne-Marie. The gluten free lemon tart is highly recommended. Definitely a hidden gem away from the busy city centre!

Steve, the waiter looked after us very well. First class service and the food was amazing!

Unbelievably amazing food, fantastic service a truly awesome place chill out and enjoy. I would highly recommend the food the service and the atmosphere. With big respect to Steve and Steve who looked after us with the greatest of care.

Very disappointed that the Tapas menu was not available. Came especially for that. Please reinstate it.

Really nice food and great service

Lunch here today was faultless. One of my favourite venues. Excellent on all counts

Great local and v friendly restaurant with fabulous decor making it feel a cut above the usual. Menu is broad enough for a range of tastes and quality was really good too. All this accompanied with excellent accomodating friendly service. Keep coming back.

Once again Steven and his team really impressed me. We held my father in laws wake there today and they pulled out all the stops. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious and all our family were very impressed. Dad loved it there too, so it felt right to celebrate his life there. Anna, James and Pip were so accommodating and kind. I love them all. And the fact that they greeted us with 2 bunches of flowers and cards was a lovely touch.

Lovely breakfast. Nice combination of things and very well cooked. A little exspensive.

Disappointing breakfast! Lovely welcome from maitre’d. Food service very slow. Of our 5 plates, two sat on the counter under the heat lamps for almost 10 mins. Of the Eggs Benedict, all eggs were over-cooked, the plates were ice cold so food was as well, the toast was cold ordinary unbuttered bread, not sourdough, the very small drizzle of Hollandaise sauce made the whole plate dry. Of the other plates, I noticed the streaky bacon was flaccid and not crispy. On the bill the espresso was charged as £3.30, not £3 as on the menu. We weren’t being treated so I didn’t make a fuss but I cannot recommend nor would I return. Such a shame!

I've visited here 3 times and each time they've tried to overcharge me. This can't be a coincidence. It's a nice looking place and the food isn't bad but if you do visit keep a very careful eye on your bill. I shan't be returning.

This restaurant is stylish, modern and a hidden Gem in Stoke Bishop. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. They are attentive and check on your throughout the duration of your stay. You can see the food being freshly made in the open front kitchen. The cleaning standards are very high. Tables were quickly cleaned as other diners left. You can book a table online. There is a good range of food available on the menu, and the good is amazing! I can't wait to visit again. Toilets are very clean. Tables are available inside and outside. We visited again for the Halloween party and they went all into. Everyone was dressed up and the themeing in the restaurant was really good.

Chronically understaffed. The one waitress tried her best but seemed to be unsupported by the other guy who mainly stood behind the bar. Even when we ordered drinks directly from him (as no one had come to the table) he forgot to make them and we had to ask the waitress to chase it up.

Very understaffed. Food and drinks took ages to come out, and our starter was forgotten about. Coudnt fault our waitress however, she did the best job she could serving the whole restaurant by herself.

Enjoy coming here as a treat as it is a little expensive compared to other restaurants serving similar

I found staff hurried you up, I felt I couldn't sit and enjoy a catch up with a friend.

I really like this place. Great food and atmosphere and very wheelchair friendly.

what a fabulous lunch we had. We had 27 seated inside the Hideaway and everything was done so well, all the special touches and needs were catered for everyone. Special shout out to Anne who was absolutely divine throughout the whole meal and didnt bat an eyelid. The food was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The decor is stunning, The type of venue that is suited for night and day and for all occasions. will definitely be visiting very soon.

Recommend it to everyone! The lamb was fantastic one time I came and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since!

We went early at 6 ish so it was not too busy; A warm welcome by the hostess whose summery top brightened up a slightly dreary day. I had fish and chips and it was the best for a long while that I’ve had. Plenty of veggie or vegan options and what seemed a fairly varied menu for all tastes. Hoisin duck chips made my mouth water but my son pulled out having filled up on his chicken! Friendly staff and a buzzy open kitchen. We were out of town dropping at Uni so was a lucky find. Easy free parking just up the road btw.

Excellent spot for a special occasion, or a casual lunch or dinner, or even a private hire. This place really covers all the bases! Excellent menu, friendly and speedy service, delicious food.

The Hideaway is a wonderful addition to our community. Placed on Shirehampton Rd in Stoke Bishop (BS9) and close to the leafy neighbourhoods of Sneyd Park, Clifton and Shirehampton. The environment is relaxed and informal and offers a well stocked bar, coffee and a restaurant . The menu is varied, interesting and well thought through. Food is always delicious, well presented and cooked to perfection. The service is warm, welcoming, informed and efficient. A particular mention for Anna, Brooke and Steve (Assistant Manager) who are outstanding members of the team, they have a genuine warmth, give an exceptional service and are an asset to The Hideaway. Thank you!

Nice open place, coffee is spot on and the staff are friendly. Had a good chat with Ryan who was full of smiles with everyone, really charming and rare to come by! Will definitely be visiting again!

Beautiful food and excellent service. Thank you to Brooke for being a great server!!

This was our 2nd visit. The first experience was very good . Last night was a family birthday, but we were not impressed , fish and chips were hardly any fish loads of batter, asked for the promotion of 2 cocktails for £12 ended up with a choice of 3 coolers but charged 2 for £14 . Lastly, we had drips from the air conditioning unit on the ceiling dripping on to us , pointed it out, and was told to move tables . Wasn't a good experience, so will not be back .

What a hidden gem! Was meeting friends just off the M5 for a catch up and needed somewhere suitable for 3 adults and 4 children on Saturday morning. It did not disappoint. The staff were lovely and very welcoming, the food was great and they also had a small area for the children to read/chill when away from the table. Parking on the street close by. Have saved this on maps for future reference 🙂
