The Old Manor House in Bath and North East Somerset

A nice place to have a drink in the evening.

It’s a lovely building and ambiance, but you can always tell how serious the owners are by their day-to-day attitude. I was disappointed as they allowed (didn’t prevent) one family taking over most of the bar area tables with their coats and bag’s etc, yet they didn’t sit there. Other customers had no where comfortable to sit. But the staff were clearly not interested. Such a shame.

Interesting Listed Building hotel, so has lots of character Oddly, on the August Bank Holiday Sunday, the reception closed at 5pm, and there was no service in the hotel after that. Our room was lovely, abet a slightly squeaky bed frame. I did love the old fashioned wooden shutters, in the bedroom. Made up for the single glazed windows. Breakfast was cooked fresh, and tasted lovely.

We have chosen to stay here half a dozen times over the past couple of years because we have family nearby. It's a great location for us but also for a swift train ride to Bath and Bristol. It was recently taken over from the lovely lady who ran it, but the new owners are just as lovely and the transition has been seamless. This time we stayed in one of their suites, which was vast. If we could just encourage them to use up a little of the huge bathroom space to put in a shower, it would make it perfect.

The hotel was in a lovely position,on the high street, but with it's own car park. It's a very old building and the reason I only gave 3 stars was because our first night was in room 1, right over the kitchen and on the hottest day of the year, was way too hot, even with the window open and the fan going all night. When we mentioned this the next morning they immediately put in a different room which was much better. Main improvement suggestion would be better gluten free provision for breakfast, more cereal options perhaps and some mixed fruit selection. Difficult for a small hotel. The dinner options were great and cooked breakfast was good too. Definitely recommend it, not room 6 though.

They have an enclosed garden in the back which is nice for a drink when the weather is nice. Had dinner and was pleasantly surprised how good the food was, good quality and nice presentation, the fish was good and the chips seemed to be homemade. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

lovely place, super clean! and the staff is amazing! they are very helpful and courteous

Excellent food. I had the sole and it was beautifully cooked. The waiting staff were very attentive. Also it was not over the top on price. Would recommend.

Very pleasant evening, had a drink in the garden and a very enjoyable meal inside. Did look at booking rooms, but couldn't fit us all in.

Dies war unser zweiter Stopp auf unserer Englandrundreise bzw. Flitterwochen. Wir sind dort 3 Nächte geblieben und es war ein wirklich einmaliges Erlebnis in einem solch historischen Gemäuer zu übernachten. Trotz des Alters hat dort alles tadellos funktioniert, der Service war erste Klasse ebenso wie dort servierten Mahlzeiten. Es war einfach eine rundum tolle Erfahrung. Ein Bonuspunkt des Hotels ist eindeutig seine Lage. Obwohl man direkt an einer Hauptstraße nächtigt, ist der "Lärm" nicht wahrnehmbar. Wenn man nicht aus dem Fenster schaut, hätte man gar nicht registriert, wie vielbefahren die Straße ist. Man hat nur knapp 5-10 Minuten Fußweg bis zum lokalen Bahnhof. Von dort aus ist man sehr schnell im Touristenhotspot Bath, den man unbedingt gesehen haben muss. Andere Züge der Great Western Railway fahren bis London und sogar Cardiff. Nun zur Unterkunft an sich: Die Zimmer sind immer tadellos sauber und alles ist funktionstüchtig. Selbst die alten Betten sind einfach nur bequem. Wir waren etwas enttäusch, das wir in getrennten Betten schlafen mussten aber das hat nur irgendwie auch zum Charm des alten, quirlligen Hotels beigetragen. Das Frühstück dort war auch einfach nur lecker und immer frisch zubereitet. Leider haben wir es nicht geschafft vor Ort auch mal etwas zu Abend zu essen, da wir immer Unterwegs waren. Die Crew des Hotels/Restaurants war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank an die ganze Belegschaft für diese tollen Tage und diese einmalige Erfahrung.

Brilliant location, lovely old building. Friendly staff always happy to help. Large breakfast selection

A superb old building packed with charm and character. Great service, lovely room, good quality breakfast. Also only 5 minutes walk from the station.

We and another couple stayed here for two nights as part of walking from Bath to Bristol. It is 5 minutes walk from Keynsham Station so very convenient as a stopover. The building dates from 1609 and has many old fashioned oil portraits on the wall. Particularly appealing to those who value historic places. The staff were lovely, nothing too much trouble. We ate here both evenings and the food was excellent. We all were very pleased with our choice of accommodation. It is probably worth saying this is not a suitable place for someone with mobility difficulties. The entrance is not level and the floors are uneven. The corridors are narrow and there is no lift to the first floor where the bedrooms are.

Perfect experience. Food and staff were amazing 👏

We had our Golden Wedding Anniversary meal here, for family and friends. The staff at the hotel catered for our every need. The meal was superb, the atmosphere was excellent, the cosy bar was very welcoming and the function room has a great ambience. All of our guests enjoyed our day and we are glad that we chose this venue. It all made for a memorable day! Carol & John

The food was poor, they never heard of porridge. The disabled bedrooms were on a upper level some stairs had no handrail. We were locked out at 8.25, we had no front door swipe key to get in, eventually a guest let us in. We will never return.

I had my works Christmas meal here and it was fantastic. The food was delicious and hot, the service was excellent.

We booked 2 rooms here as we were going to the Christmas market with friends. When we arrived it was freezing outside and indoors, the heating wasn’t on,there wasn’t even a radiator in the bathroom,when my husband went to complain they said it was on the timer and they had just switched it in and it would take some time to heat up. We ate at the restaurant the food was nice but we had to get our coats to keep warm as it was still freezing in the restaurant. They were having Christmas parties so was also very noisy. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Would be good to have someone help with bags as no lifts

We stayed at the hotel for one night, after checking in to our room we noticed how cold the room was, we did ask if the heating could be turned on and were told it would be on shortly, we had a dinner reservation at the hotel & can honestly say the food we had was amazing the only issues were the heating was still off & the restaurant was absolutely freezing and we & another couple sat in our coats, we were also rushed through our courses as a Christmas party was booked in the same night. The heating eventually came on once back in our room and was snug but throughout the night the room was so hot you couldn't turn the heating down or open the window.

Stopped for drinks during Keynsham winter festival. Very nice place and great staff.

Charming hotel with lovely staff. The food in particular was exceptional with a great menu. Would highly recommend!

A family meal. Again a fabulous place, food and staff. Carlie and Sarper were very good and gave great service.

Delicious options for the steak dinner with wine. It is possible to "upgrade " to a better steak cut and the sides are really good. Recommend

A wonderful place, fine food, quality bedrooms and a great breakfast. Jane and all the staff are a credit to Keynsham.

What a great hotel, very friendly staff who were so helpful, I ate here as well, good food, excellent value for money and a good wine list. Absolutely excellent cheese board, fabulous cheeses and a glass of port as well, who could as for more. I'll definitely return.

20%of Friday lunch time meals .. fab fish and chips..cold wine and beer in the March sunshine. Just perfect.

Nice food but incredibly slow service. Party started at 1900 didnt get deserts till after 2200. With pre booked, pre orderef food you think it would be quicker.

Booked ages ago. There were 10 of us. Service was good and food was nice. Can’t say anymore than that!!

Stayed overnight in the Tower Suite,huge suite,enormous bathroom. Breakfast was delicious,staff very friendly and decor was very pleasant,we'd stay here again happily.

Friday 23 Aug. Was booked in to the crown in keynsham they phoned as we were attending a wedding to tell us the toilet has broken and they were placing us at the old Manor House. What a great mistake on there part this place was great,friendly good food.nothing was to much trouble for them I would go back there again. Great people

Enjoyed a lovely 1st class meal with friends tonight, good selection of food and drink, with a lovely back garden. Good service from the staff too. Thanks Normandnic

I had my hen do here recently and it was just perfect. Couldn’t fault The team always on hand, what ever was required. Food was amazing both evenings and the gin tasting complemented everything perfectly. Highly recommend this beautiful place. X

Came here for a family 'do', therefore lots of us to serve. We had a large room to ourselves. The staff let me decorate the room as it was for a special occasion, obviously restrictions where to put "blu-tac" and sellotape was forbidden. Easy rules to abide by. We were basically left to it, which was good, and they only brought out the tea when we were ready and removed items when we were nearly all done, i.e only about 4 of us left in the room. It was good to be left alone and not fussed over and not rushed to start or leave. Only very minor points: the bowls of sugar were forgotten, I don't think it bothered many people, just one or two missed it, hence I knew it had been forgotten! Also, cold roasted vegetable sandwiches as an option for a vegetarian, did not look good, I didn't taste them, but not over-impressed with that option. However, I was more than happy with the cheese and eggs sarnies, and it was nice of them to think of something else, just personal preference I guess. The scones and cakes were lovely as was the tea, coffee was also served. The staff are lovely and it's a beautiful building. There is a very small car park, so you would be extremely lucky to get a spot, and they do not reserve spaces. The toilets were upstairs, not sure if it would be possible to get there if you had difficulty walking. There's a lovely little bar. They have WiFi.

Can’t get better than this... friendly homely rustic place. #lovetheginandgarnishes. #burgerandpint£10whilstEnglandRugbyplays.🇬🇧

I booked an afternoon tea for a friends birthday, 6 guests in total.A beautiful Manor House, local to the High street that has character and charisma, we had the celebration in the seating area of the bar, which was perfect and recommended the Inglenook fireplace is a real eye pleaser, and our waitresses Georgia was was extremely polite, welcoming, attentive and professional, With an abundance of knowledge of the Gin selection recommendations and mixers/garnishes. The table was beautifully laid out with room for presents and balloons ect. The cute finger sandwich selection was so attractive and perfectly cut, great tastes in each sandwich and more than enough to go around, the tiers of different cakes were just perfect with warm scones, cream and jam,.A very happy afternoon spent in the gorgeous surroundings of the Manor House. I am so impressed I’ve booked in for Christmas Lunch.Highly recommend a visit,

We chose to eat at the Old Manor House, the hotel at which we had hoped to stay overnight.The welcome and service were attentive, courteous and efficient, the room very pleasant and the food extremely good.My cannon of lamb was cooked pink and served with good vegetables and an excellent jus. Perfect!We had intended to enjoy three courses but with a starter and main enjoyed so much, there was insufficient room to take on a third course. Not that the dishes were overwhelming in size, just too good to risk spoiling the flavours with another, sweeter dish.Highly recommended!

We have spent many happy times in the sunny garden this year. Set behind the Manor House and away from the busy road you could be convinced you were in the country. Bar prices are reasonable for Keynsham.

We were shown into the bar/lounge area, the restaurant has a wide selection of Gins, so my wife was happy, but as the designated driver I was less than impressed that the only non-alcoholic drinks they had were the normal soft drinks. Whilst having our drinks we were able to make look at the menu but then it was really long wait until they came and took our order and then we were just left there again for ages, before eventually being taken to our table. Service throughout the meal was a bit chaotic. My Pigeon Risotto was very disappointing, with tough small pieces of pigeon, although the risotto was tasty. My main looked lovely was but way to dry. For pudding I asked what the cheese were on the cheese board, but chose a Sundae instead as they only had three cheese and nothing special. A couple of the others on our table ordered the cheese and when they came out there were more cheese and they were different to what I had been told! Then although my pudding was called Sundae I found no Ice Cream in it, it was just cream and fruit, so more like a Mess. Then to top it all I had to chase to get bill and then physically chase again to allow us to pay and leave. All in all very disappointing.

Had the best Afternoon Tea, with a group of six friends. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so the staff ask if we would like to sit in the garden. They set a table for us on the lawn and could not have been more attentive. The food was amazing and we weren't rushed at all. Will definitely be back for more - when I have room in my tummy !!! Think it was the Chocolate cup that finished me off!

Wanted somewhere different to go in Keynsham and had one of the best evening meals for a very long time. The food was great quality, service excellent.... thank you for a lovely evening, spent in your secret garden, will definitely be returning. Mum had a lovely birthday meal. Thank you again.

Booked 2 rooms, double and twin, had query on the run up to going which was solved easily and efficiently by staff,Arrived parked in free car park, staff that greeted us was fabulous, Rooms were to die for, especially the tower room... perfect for anyone wanting a romantic night away for sureBreakfast was served hot and tasty... thanks for making our night away a little more special

On our table for eight people I think all of us were disappointed by one or more elements of their meals.We had 6 starters and eight main courses but were not prepared to risk the puddings. One steak was sent back as far too overdone and two pork dishes were so poor that we were not charged for them which was a nice gesture but does not prevent a gathering of old friends form being spoiled. Would not return until the kitchen gets its act together and would not recommend others to risk it either. When the waiting staff do not ask if all is well and avoid eye contact you get the feeling that they might know that all is not well perhaps?

The bar is small and intimate, allowing family and friends to gather. The buffet was delicious and the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The ballroom was a delightful room to eat in. Particular thanks to Georgia.

Excellent Christmas Day meal in a fine setting, a truly lovely historic building in my home town. I could not fault the 5-course meal nor the service, great atmosphere, more than I would usually pay but why not at Christmas? I'll see you again next Christmas!You can have a drink in a very cosy and charactful bar next to the dining room. It has a cottage feel, like a front room. I have had a drink or a coffee there in the past and had almost forgotten you can just pop in an have a drink, particularly in the Summer when there is a small garden out back. I'll have to come in more often.The building feels historic the moment you walk in and is one of the oldest in Keynsham. Even the red telephone box outside is a Listed Building! Both are time capsules, really! I have not stayed overnight in the hotel but find some of the reviews moaning about not having mod cons (like a shower) in such an old building very peculiar. They should go and stay in a modern one instead if that's how they feel! Well done, thanks again.

We booked a table for 9 which included 7 adults and 2 children.The food served was of an exceptionally high standard and very hot as we like it.The ambience was also brilliant(cosy and intimate) I am booking my 'special' birthday' meal here again in March this year!

Some 8 of us, all family, came here to eat a pre ordered meal at a pretty decent price.We were first shown in the lounge by the bar where we could enjoy drinks. My sister was opening her presents and something very special at the end where a lady named Jane told us three to four times that we were to move into the restaurant. I felt like a school child. On the 2nd time we made it clear we were doing the presents and she still managed to not get the hint and come back two more times to march us out? Like... we're paying customers, don't push it. I thought it quite rude and a big shame.The restaurant was nice but rather plain, tinny sound coming from a tucked away iPod speaker. The food was lovely and warm, a real treat!One thing again that saddened my visit was the feeling I was on big brother... a cctv camera bared down on me whilst eating my meal, I and many other family members felt rushed in their dinner and a member of staff was in checking on us to see if we'd finished, like.. we do plan to pay the bill and no we haven't put food on the walls. Customers need space. Enjoyed but a true shame about the team and who leads it. We won't be planning a future visit.

We had so far the very best Afternoon Tea, plenty of lovely sandwiches cakes and scones. Good service in lovely surroundings. Thanks very much.

Arrived here for one night. Nice welcome, room OK and breakfast was good. The reason for oh 3 stars is that at 11PM on the dot we were practically thrown out of the bar. We felt like we had gone from welcome guests to an inconvenience in the space of a minute. We had been told earlier that the bar closed at 11 and were fine with that,, we were just a bit disappointed by the change in atmosphere. Would have been four and a half stars otherwise!

Visited for first time and was pleasantly surprised. Not the biggest menu choice but doesn't need to be as catered for all of us. Food arrived piping hot with good service. Garden and old world charm of building make it a great place for something to eat or just to sit in the grounds and have a drink. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Visited the Manor House for a family Sunday lunch.Service was not the best. We did not get any food for an hour after we were shown to our table even though the food order was placed before. Wine was ordered and the bottle not opened, water ordered and delivered but no glasses, no plate supplied for the toddler. One sweet was forgotten by the kitchen, when it eventually arrived it was a botched version of what was ordered. No interest from the staff in our 'satisfaction'.Consequently no tip and this review.Food was of an OK standard, not exceptional but OK.

Went here for Mother's Day. Service was great and the roast dinner was too. It comes highly recommended.

Stayed for 2 nights when up for training, good location, lots of history to the building. Rooms done out in period style, 4 posters and oil paintings of famous people (though didn't know anyone) good value breakfast, and free wifi. Certainly worth considering if wishing to stay in Keynsham, only 8 minutes from Temple Meads by train.

We had our Christmas lunch here, it was a really bad experience. We had to wait almost an hour between each course, The staff were friendly but not once did they come and check on us or ask if our food was ok.The pheasant was so over cooked you almost needed a steak knife to cut through it. The vegetables were a mere cauliflower, few carrot and overcooked red cabbage. There was then an hour and 10 minutes wait before we were served puddings. We were then told that one of our party had to change desert from what they pre ordered as the chef has dropped a desert...The Christmas pudding was microwaved and so overdone, its obvious when a pudding is 'over microwaved' as it was so chewy and hard on the outsides. We skipped coffees and mincepies as we had small children at our table and we had already been sat there for almost 3 hours! We complained to the manageress, who was more defensive than apologetic. At £80 per head for Christmas lunch, it was such a disappointment. They just couldn't cater for the size table we had, though they should have said this before booking as it ruined our Christmas lunch.

Last night we celebrated my husbands 60th birthday by enjoying a lovely three course meal with our family. The staff were fantastic, the food was beautifully presented and was delicious.We couldn't have chosen a better venue. A big Thanks to everyone at the old Manor House !

Arrived and had a drink in the bar, menus handed out and given time to order. Called through to the restaurant when starters ready. Very nice table with candles lit so nice ambience. Starters arrived and I have to say best soup I've ever had, leek & potato. I ordered roast beef, and 3 adults also had roast. My meat was lovely and do was the vegetables, only thing that let the dinner down was the roast potatoes because they were extremely hard and none of us could eat them, but the chef did do a dish of mash potatoes after we told the server. All in all cracking lunch and lovely surroundings and a reasonable price. Will be back and will recommend. Many thanks Georgia for taking my booking.

Very rude and unhelpful staff wouldn't cross their door step ever again. They were very negative if they want customers they should educate their staff

My 12 year old son took me here today for my birthday and treated me to an afternoon tea which was absolutely gorgeous. The little sandwiches were very tasty and fresh, we had two scones each with cream and jam and little cakes to finish off, with one of the best pots of tea I have ever tasted (or you can have a jug of Pimms if you prefer)The lady who served us was so friendly and helpful too - a lovely birthday experience that I am definitely going to repeat - thank you

Five stars all round. Great service, lovely food, well located for Keynsham. We look forward to a return visit.

Sometimes you just want a great Sunday Roast don't you. Tender beef, pork, chicken with roast potatoes and tasty vegetables that have been cooked just right. Make a note to book a table here because you won't be disappointed. The staff will guide you to the bar lounge land take your drinks orders then give you menus to choose your starters and mains. Take a seat and take your time. Once you've ordered , they'll take you to your table when it's ready. What a great way to enjoy a relaxing Sunday. The meals really are good and favourably priced too. For less that £20 you can have 3 courses (if you can manage it!).

Visited with family for a roast dinner, the food was absolutely lovely with decent sized portions and friendly staff, will be visiting again!

Sunday 20th aaa star for food service ----- poor--- thank you to the chef at the old manor house hotel

Went here with a group of 10 for roast dinner, excellent service, friendly staff, all meals came out hot, at the same time and promptly even though the staff had another huge table of people to cater for at the same time. Food was good, most of us had the beef. Decent sized portions, well presented, tasty yorkshire pudding and a nice bit of beef. Only downsides were the potatoes were very dry like they had been cooked a while ago and the veg selection was a little limited. Would I go there again, yes probably. The staff were very attentive, brought extra gravy and some more veg on request.

Stunning place to stay, rooms spotless, staff friendly, helpful and polite. already booked again wouldn't stay anywhere else. Highly recommend.

We chose The Manor House for our annual pre Christmas meal as we thought we would get a cosy Christmas atmosphere, we were wrong.The restaurant was dull with no decoration and I've never eaten a meal so fast. The starter was brought to the table as soon as we sat down, as soon as we had eaten the last mouthful the plates were cleared and the mains brought out, the same happened with the desert, not a minutes break between all the courses! When we finished the desert there were no staff around, no one to ask if we wanted coffee or more drinks, so we left(we had paid 2 weeks before). I never have eaten a meal so fast. After looking forward to this evening we were really disappointed. There was other things including a disco going on so we assume that this was more Important to the staff.

Such a quaint little establishment. Our twin room was spotlessly clean with lovely comfy beds, crisp white linen and fluffy white towels. Unfortunately, the saniflow was quite smelly in our en suite bathroom when flushed and although we reported it the staff were unable to offer a solution and or possible air freshener!!! We advised them to maybe have it serviced!We ate in the restaurant and really enjoyed our meals. I went for the steak and my sister had the lamb. Although my steak was slightly over cooked it was still tasty and succulent and my sister loved the lamb. Although they forgot the crispy goats' cheese and had to bring it separately to her dish. Waiting staff were very friendly, but could have been more attentive though. We ended up decanting our own champagne after requesting that it be left to chill a little. No one came to check if we were happy with the meals either! Breakfast was slightly disappointing given that the evening meal was so good. My sisters' requested well done egg, bacon and sausage were sent back to be returned completely frazzled after an obvious dip in a deep fat fryer. Toast was a slice each and no more and we had to request milk for our coffee and brown sugar more than once. Given that the hotel is over 400 years old some history to read up on would also have been nice but there wasn't any and the staff couldn't provide any either. We would stay there again though as overall it was quite a pleasant experience.

There was a large party of us to celebrate relatives' 60th wedding anniversary. Although we did not stay tthere, taking a cab home in the evening, we found the staff to eb attentive, the food to be good and the atmosphere cordial for a large family group in a private room

The menu is a schizophrenic mix of traditional (burger, fish and chips, steak) and the more modern (mackerel & goats cheese ice cream, herb crusted lamb with basil pesto). The prices are high. £19 for an 8oz rib eye is top end. However some of the details are poor: rubbish wine list and the 'hand cut chips' appeared to have just been fried out of the freezer and left to wrinkle under a hot lamp. On balance we enjoyed it, but the restaurant needs to decide what it is and then commit to it. At the moment it is neither a good quality pub grub place, nor a high end fine dining venue. The mixture doesn't work for me.

6 of us booked Sunday lunch to celebrate one of our birthdays. We arrived to a warm welcome with a log fire. The staff were lovely and looked after us really well. The food was amazing, battered prawns with chilli dip for starters were fantastic. The main course was brilliant, lots of roast beef, roast potatoes cooked perfectly and the vegetables were just right, everything was pipeing hot with plenty of thick tasty gravy. We forced ourselves to have a pudding and was not disappointed. All in all one of the best Sunday lunches we've ever had. Would definitely recommend this place, very clean and welcoming and reasonably priced.

Can't fault the food or the setting, the staff all all very nice the menu is a bit traditional though

start in the bar where you order your food then drinks while you wait to be seated and served .good choice of wines. food is excellent qualiyt and presented very well. service is excellent.

Be very aware of this hotel and how they try to ripp you off. Stayed here on a business trip. They do not have 24 hour staff.i left this hotel at 0745 on a sunday no staff were on duty.so i left my key at the reception desk.as i was driving back to brighton at about 12.00 hours i recieved an email from the hotel informing me that they were charging me an extra £55.00 pounds for smoking in my room which i found odd as i have never smoked in my life.i phoned the hotel and told them that i have never smoked to which they replied that the room smelt of smoke i told them that i was a 62 year old asthmatic and could not smoke even if i wanted to and that my room was vacant for four hours between me leaving and them invoicing me and that any body could have gone in that room.they insisted the charge would stand.i asked them if they had any proof that i smoked in the room like ash or cigarette ends to which they replied no but would still charge me.i have taken steps to get this charge revoked . You have been warned.l would not recomend this hotel to a homeless person even if it was free of charge.overall opinion crap.

Si tratta del ristorante dell'omonimo hotel, ubicato a Keynsham in uno splendido edificio antico in pietra risalente al 1609.Essendo ospiti dell'albergo (da non perdere la camera vittoriana nella mansarda con un bagno a dir poco strepitoso) ci siamo trovati comodi a fermarci per la cena un paio di sere.La location è ricca di fascino e soddisfa le aspettative del viaggiatore che sa apprezzare lo charme tipicamente britannico di questo posto meraviglioso. La sala da pranzo, contigua al pub, è molto suggestiva, con luci soffuse, un arredamento antico, un bellissimo parquet a listoni ed uno splendido camino. La proprietaria del locale è una signora molto simpatica e gentile. Dopo aver fatto una piacevole conversazione con noi ha provveduto lei stessa a raccogliere le ordinazioni e ad effettuare il servizio al tavolo.Per l'aperitivo abbiamo scelto un tradizionale Pimm's, in linea con le caratteristiche del posto.Il menu offre una scelta di piatti a base sia di carne che di pesce. Nel corso delle due serate abbiamo assaggiato sia gli uni che gli altri, avendone in entrambi i casi un riscontro ampiamente positivo.Per le bevande abbiamo optato per la classica 'bitter' alla spina, di produzione locale, veramente ottima.Il conto è risultato molto contenuto in rapporto alle positive caratteristiche del locale.

Went here recently for the set Sunday lunch.The deal was just average pub fare at best, and definitely not 'best sunday lunch in Bristol' as claimed by someone.The bar area is nice, rural olde world , and relaxed, with good service.The restaurant is very dated decor wise, but reasonably comfortable , kind of a bit like a typical pub restaurant from the 80's & could really do with a revamp all round.I went for the mackerel with toast first , with was ok, but had no lemon or pepper on it.No rolls or bread were supplied during the meal, which was a bit unusual.This was followed by roast beef , with seasonal vegetables. The beef was not rare , just too modest slices, only average in flavour, supplied with bog standard gravy . The gravy definitely was not properly made, & tasted of Bisto or something similar.The veg in the main was was done well, but let down by rather tired and not very well made roast spuds. The yorkshire looked very nice, but sadly was dried out , and had clearly been sitting around a bit too long.The pudding was OK, I went for Eton mess , that had good flavour , and reasonable enough.All in all it was a bit of a disappointment, not a disaster , but not very good either, so won't be returning in a hurry.

This was a 60th Wedding Anniversary, so some of the participants were very elderly. We had a big room, with plenty of room to circulate, and had an excellent 3-course meal chosen from a menu range a month (!) before hand. The staff were attentive and the food was very good considering the numbers (ca 20 people). Not sure about value, as we were not paying, but knowing our family it was probably good value!

We visit the Old Manor at least once a month for a roast, superb every time! The food is always fresh, and cooked well. I wont even mention the naughty deserts! We went last Sunday for Mothers Day, same amazing roast dinner, same incredible service, and unlike most places, not an extra penny more, we left feeling full and satisfied as usual! This place is a little hidden gem, and they should be very proud of what they do, perfect! Thank you Old Manor, for staying traditional, filling our bellies with delicious food, and always looking after us when we come.

Booked up for Valentine's day dinner. Not for the day but because 50 years ago I got engaged to be married. Excellent menu. Excellent service. Nice convenient venue. Excellent food and a couple of heart shape topped cup cakes was a very nice touch. Not sure what happened to my petit fours with the coffee but as I was well satisfied I might not have had room so I didn't ask. Not the fault of the restaurant.It was a surprise for my wife. Easy parking. Certainly recommend.

Excellent food, well cooked, well presented and well served. I thought it was a little expensive for what it was, but then again, the staff had given up their Christmas Day to work so I didn't have to cook.

This is a very local venue for us, We have popped in for Pimms on a sunny day and recently we have eaten there. the food was fantastic. The quality and choice is excellent. Price wise it is not cheap, More of a special occasion venue. The atmosphere is ok, when there are more people it feels better.Would recommend and it is an easy walk to keynsham train station .

We ate dinner on both of our nights at this Hotel, the selection and quality of the food was amazing. There is a lot of choice for breakfast and this was wonderful too.

This was my first visit to this restaurant with a friend who had a Groupon voucher.The ambience was good, although we were originally seated about 6 inches away from another table before requesting a move to a more private table.The food was good and the portions were ample - my fellow diner was not happy with the quality of his steak but this was replaced without question and he was satisfied with the replacement.

My husband and I have just returned from a lovely evening . The food was excellent . The portions were very generous ! The service was also very good . We had a Groupon voucher which was such a bargain. I would recommend this restaurant with reservation

With friends, we had a Groupon deal, evening meal, every thing was just OK but not more. Portions were small, this may be because we had a deal, I don't know. It would not be worth the ordinary price, we are unlikely to return.

Old Historic Building, lovingly maintained.. Friendly staff, prices very reasonable. Food excellent.Try the Lamb Chops!!

Back again !Meet up here about every six months with friends who are quite unadventurous diners and have yet to have a bad meal. I normally have the steak as it is to die for but this time chose the lamb rump which was the tastiest ever. Cant remember the last time I had such a tasty piece of lamb on a pretty plate of vegetables, The old world charm of The Old manor House complements the no fuss simplicity and presentation of good quality meat and vegetables. The desserts are yum too!!!

We ate here for the first time on a quite Monday evening we were greeted by a very bubbly polite lady who looked after us very well throughout the evening. The food was stunning, very well presented, beautifully cooked and a nice selection on the menu. The only slight negative comment I would make is the courses came out a little too quick for our likening. This is a similar comment to other reviews so you may wish to ask for a suitable break between courses.
