We have had some great experiences including our own private party. However today upon arriving at the bar we waited approximately 10 minutes patiently to be served while the bar tenders made cocktails for other customers. A senior member of bar staff then arrived and immediately served a customer who leant over the bar and called out an order instead of queuing and waiting to be served like most normal customers. When we addressed the bar manager his response was flippant and disregarding stating I thought you had been served. To which we replied you never even asked. This is poor hospitality service and not what I would expect from a senior member of staff who seems to pick and choose who he serves in order irrelevant of queues. Such a shame as this behaviour reflects and lets down the reputation of the owners who have a great bar and restaurant. This unfortunate experience annoyed us so much we immediate left.

A lovely evening spent in Venga during a weekend visit to Portishead. Starting with the 2-1 cocktail deal and then on to Tapas. We ordered a selection of the small plate options from the menu. All offerings tasty and well presented. A chilled evening in a busy but vibey environment. Well organised and friendly 😊 Thank you!

Another amazing evening spent in Venga. All the staff are amazing but special mention for Issy who made us feel so special and welcome. We had food from the new menu and all the dishes exceeded expectations especially the breads. Keep doing what you are doing Venga as you are without equal.

Amazing cute little place. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff and owner are very friendly. We hired the secrete garden for a party with a giant paella. Gil the events manager was very accommodating and everything was to plan, great evening! 10/10!

We've been going to Venga for years since it originally opened and the new menu and chef do not disappoint. Last night was our second visit in as many weeks and we were eager to try out more of the new dishes. I'm no food critic so can't use fancy metaphors or similar to describe the experience, we just like good honest food and we really got that. The dishes came out hot, freshly cooked and with well balanced flavours across our selection. None were too overpowering individually that you couldn't go from plate to plate and not enjoy the flavours from each. Harry at the bar was ever friendly and attentive with his service as were his colleagues who helped him out through the evening. Venga was and still is one of our firm favourites for good reasons, a champion of local businesses and provider of great dining experiences.

After an unexpectedly long hike around the Gordano Valley, we found ourselves in the wonderful Venga for some much needed relaxation!! Harry looked after us and was ABSOLUTELY amazing!! SUPER friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived… I had a Porn Star martini and Chris had a beer… both received within 3 mins of our arrival. Harry recommended some delicious tapas (all delicious… esp the fried fish!) which we had in the Garden. Harry was on hand all evening to make sure we had enough food/drinks and even switched on the worlds best outdoor heater so we were nice and toasty!!! THANK YOU HARRY!!! We would highly recommend Venga …. :-)

Quite simply the most delicious and special roast I have ever tasted! The meats were so tender they literally melted in your mouth and the vegetables were next level, the layers of flavour were unbelievable. My husband was laughing at my 'happy food' face, but it's not just about the food - which was outstanding, the whole experience was exceptional from the genuine staff to the laid back ambience, I haven't felt as relaxed in a long time, even our 5 year old was chilled while he chomped on his freshly made chicken chunks and chips, which is nothing short of a miracle in itself. I'm just gutted we waited so long to try it as now we have a long wait until the roasts are back in the autumn as they go full on tapas for the summer months but that definitely won't stop me returning to try the tapas too. My new favourite in Portishead. Thank you Venga for such a wonderful all round experience, your care and attention to what you do shines out

Been going to Venga for 7 years and food and service is consistently first class. At the moment, Venga are opening Mondays and Tuesdays and using a pop up restaurant provider as an alternative to the always excellent Spanish cuisine. Tonight it was Saucy Griller and we had a sumptuous burger, fries and onion rings. Not really appropriate to call it a burger. It was a first class steak in a bun. Lovely!!

Came for an evening meal with family coming over from the US.Easy to book and a lovely welcome. Very good service from waiters and nice ambience.We ordered 2 tapas each plus chips and 2 bottles of white wine between 4 of us. The quality of the food was excellent, so we ordered a dessert dish, which took a long time coming, so we weren’t charged for it.Total cost came to £30 each for the meal which is not cheap, but it is very good quality!

Food was alright, not the best tapas I've had. We were missing a dish from our order that took a long time to come out once we told staff and they then bumbled about trying to sort it.The "secret garden" in the back is really lovely and has heat lamps. We were quite unceremoniously turfed out when our hour was up (I understand having times for the table but seriously it was "get up and go"). It was all very rushed and not the relaxing, good time we were looking for.Then on the way out, we did not see any signs showing to use the side exit and instead went to go back through the main front door which is where we came through at the start of the night. Two male staff members, rather than ask us to use the side exit, shared comments between each other saying "It would be nice if people read the signs" and other passive aggressive remarks on their way into the staff/kitchen area. Safe to say we felt that was not appropriate after spending a decent amount on food and drinks for 4 people.We will not be coming back.

I had such high hopes for this place. Booked for my partners 40th birthday ( which wasn’t acknowledged) we order calamari, bread with dips, prawn crochets, braised fillet steak and patas bravas to begin with. The beef really needs to be eaten as soon as it arrives because when it goes colder it drys out. The bread and dips were lovely as was the calamari but the prawn crochets turned out to be cheese and ham with no prawn available to correct ( although we were still charged) and the patas bravas had way too much smoked paprika in the sauce. The beer was lovely though as was the waiter. Possibly a bad night?!?

Having experienced our own company’s Xmas outing cancelled due to Covid. We were delighted by Venga’s novelty idea to still celebrate it in June, and not just that it was amazing to see how all the staff had really gotten behind the idea for the day and were so spirited - one was even dressed as Santa! Also notable was the lovely Xmas roast, the turkey was not dry at all; the fantastic decor, no expense was truly spared and they even had a snow machine running outside; and the delightful service always with a smile.We will definitely be returning to this winter wonderland come Christmas!

This was our first visit to Venga since lockdown ended and what a real treat. The Sunday lunch was spectacular, perfectly cooked lamb and pork with crispy crackling. The roast potatoes were so crunchy with a no paprika twist and the sides were fresh and vibrant, perfect with whichever protein you choose.The wine list is extensive with something for everyone, we chose NZ Sauvignon (Duke) which was perfectly chilled. The team were friendly and attentive, catering for your every need. Hats off to the chef and kitchen team for producing such an interesting and delicious Sunday lunch.

New to Portishead and heard good things about Venga. Unfortunately I was very disappointed staff not very attentive at all. Didn’t clear the table after food for a good 30 minutes and was hard to get a hold of during service. Was then told we had 20 minutes to have our drinks and was wanting dessert when asked how long this would take they said 15 minutes which obviously left us no time to even order it. They seemed to be very sad and just moping around which was a vibe killer. The food was ‘ok’ not very authentic at all. The calamari is frozen and was much like you get at the chinese cheap and rubbery. When I told the waiter of this his response was ‘right’ then just walked off to the kitchen. The only good thing was the Sangria and olives which we could not fault that at all.

Had spotted Venga on Tripadvisor as we were looking for a place to break our journey. Reviews looked great and were absolutely justified. Because of Covid restrictions, they messaged us to arrive 30 minutes earlier - wasn't a problem. We stayed at the Premier Inn and had a pleasant stroll via the Marina to get there - took the more direct route back. Staff were very pleasant - we had a booth for the two of us. Service was excellent. Lovely bottle of red wine and great tapas, finished with Churros and chocolate - food was piping hot, very fresh and absolutely delicious. Asked wife what she thought the bill would be - it came in about £10 cheaper - so definitely value for money. Thoroughly recommended and if we head for Cornwall again we will definitely do the same.

Unfortunately they had sold out of all but 1 meat and also didn’t have a lot of the other main dishes like meatballs, paella, bacon croquettes & beef.The food that we did have however was great and really tasty - I recommend the prawns and the omelette! The manager did give us an extra dish on the house due to the limited options which was really nice.

Spanish Sunday lunch - 30th August. What an awesome meal! We cannot speak more highly of, or recommend more, this fabulous roast. The meats were cooked beautifully and the flavour was great. Portions would feed even the hungriest of people. But the vegetables had a starring role too. Everything with a Spanish twist. Perfectly cooked and delicious. The truffled manchego cauliflower cheese was so scrummy. Staff, as always, were super friendly, even behind their masks, and they looked after us royally. Thank you Cam and Scott for the best Sunday lunch out ever.

Absolutely outstanding in every way- the service was very attentive Without being intrusive, the food we simply cannot fault- at £17.50 per roast some may find that expensive- but you not only get quality but quantity too- the food was plentiful- large portion of quality meat, various different veg (cauliflower cheese included in the price) so much too choose from- it’s a Spanish twist on the British classic Sunday roast, so the food was brought out on various different boards and plates for sharing- this made things relaxed- and even with current covid restrictions we didn’t feel rushed At all- it was a really enjoyable experience- we’ve been out a few times since lockdown eased and this was by far our best experience. What Campbell, Scott & team have done to the garden is absolutely beautiful, and although my partner doesn’t like to eat outside- this isn’t a ‘pub garden’ it is a fully covered/heated area that feels properly like the inside of a restaurant. Of course you have the option to eat inside- but we’d both recommend the garden every time. We left feeling truly stuffed and can’t wait to return. Thanks team- a job well done!

Delicious food and fabulous surroundings. First night open after lockdown and these guys have it all sorted. Superb food and excellent service delivered to our table in the cosy covered garden made us all feel completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed our first night out in some time.

Global pandemic lockdown and Venga have stepped up to the plate and nailed it! Delivery was on the button and the food so good we ordered 2 weeks running! One of us is a coeliac and we were very glad to see even more options available as gluten free - including great meatballs and melt in the mouth beef in Pedro Ximenez. The tortilla and the cauliflower, both with aioli were perfect - all in all a real treat. Well done and thank you to Campbell and Scott!

We have been huge fans of Venga since giving it a go after we viewed our first house in Portishead. Nearly four years down the line we don't get to visit nearly as often as we'd like to anymore as we now have a toddler! However, thanks to you adapting impressively quickly to this strange world we currently find ourselves living in, we're now able to enjoy your food at home.Needless to say we love it! We've had delivery three times now and been very happy with the quality of the food. The service is also excellent and completely contactless, if anyone is concerned. I love that we are able to support a local business at the moment and enjoy great food. My particular favourites are the cauliflower (This coming from someone who won't touch the stuff usually!), the braised beef and the paella.Thank you Venga.

We were delighted to see Venga was running a delivery service during the lockdown and took advantage of it as a Saturday treat. Efficiently managed and delicious food. Thank you and look forward to your reopening.

Venga has regularly been my go to bar for a weekend tipple. I think it is fantastic that they’ve been able to keep going with a great delivery service to keep us in the Venga family during the lockdown blues. Gorgeous food, generous portion sizes which were super delicious. All delivered with a nice chilled beer. Top marks guys *****

In these lockdown times we decided to have a family Saturday takeaway meal from Venga. We had 3 separate orders delivered to 3 separate addresses at 3 different times. All delivered at the requested times, all piping hot and all absolutely delicious. Every family member more than satisfied. Can definitely recommend. Well done guys at Venga , you came up trumps.

The atmosphere was good, the meal tasted nice however the portion sizes were pretty small. A beer & double gin and tonic was over £20 and 3 small tapas dishes came to around £15. Again the taste and atmosphere were good but for that price, I'd expect a lot more.

Wonderful venue for any occasion, Scott and Cambell are brilliant hosts. Scott who cooked all the food and made birthday cake done a fantastic job and left everyone full and very happy and Cambell who was front of house meeting greeting and making sure everyone was happy. The atmosphere was superb. Would rate it 5 star and will definitely be returning there

Went to venga in the private function rooms for a friend's 40th. Their attention to detail was fabulous and communication pre, during and post event was second to none. We had to make some last minute changes and they were super accommodating. Drinks and food are amazing! Thanks Venga for helping us celebrate in style.
