Wessex Flyer in Bristol, City of

Very tasty food, reasonable price 👌

Great place for food and drink reasonable prices

Food took ages had a autistic child who did not understand why it took so long. People and children with disabilities should be put to the front of the queue and people without disabilities should understand this !

Everyone that I speak to say the service from miss fay is always good thanks you my family love it there .

Went for family meal for boxing day. Absolutely dreadful. Staff were miserable. Service was slow and drinks where not even right. Beer tastes like the pipes needed cleaning.. asked one of the staff a question. Replied . I don't know do I. ... To me that terrible customer service. Had the table booked for 3pm. 20 people were eating . So you can imagine just how much was spent. There tried to rush us out at 5pm was it worth it definitely no. Never ever will I go back totally ruined our day. I suggest if you don't want to work boxing day . Don't work in the industry

I visited with family on a Saturday night the place was really busy but we still received excellent food and service. The man who was our host was amazing /extremely professional/friendly and polite. The whole experience was enjoyable and would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Everyone enjoyed their food and nothing was wasted. Thank you Wessex flyer for a great evening 😊

Had lovely food and drink thoroughly recommend to anyone April and Colin Levis

Always excellent service from all of the staff, would especially like to thank Issac for his hospitality and friendliness. We are frequent visitors and have always had very goid food and exceptional service.

We went to the Wessex for our Christmas festive meal. We had to wait a long time for the meal but it was worth the wait. There was 9 of us there and we knew the wait time was long. The staff at the Wessex were running around like headless chickens, to ensure all those present got their Christmas meals. I give the staff 10 out of 10, the manager on duty was here there and everywhere, providing people with their meals. The food was really lovely cooked to perfection, top marks for the cooks. The table was set out nice, with Christmas Fayre to make the night complete. We will definitely book again next year. We'll done to you all, hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Fantastic service from Ellie, whenever it’s super busy she still continues to provide excellent service and provides us with great cocktails :)

Could do with putting heating on as,was very cold and keep beer up together as doom bar was very cloudy and had take back then thay had no more so not very good

Stayed here with a large school party and The staff could not have been more helpful. During adverse weather, we were provided with a large breakout space where the students could relax and play card games without disturbing the other customers. Food was provided in abundance for breakfast and nothing was too much trouble for the staff to assist with. Can definitely recommend.

Great family meal. Food was delicious, service was great. Will dine again soon

Usually a great place to eat but the last few times we've been unable to get a table.

Me my partner and family come to this pub very regularly they are a very good hardworking team, great food and well mannered staff and also keen to help and assist 😀 also haves a great manager called Isaac!

Having a lovely hot roast dinner9

Staff were amazing. Locals are friendly. Definitely flying out of Bristol again. And will be returning soon.

Tried Wessex Flyer again today meeting up with family, food again very good, reasonably priced and service by the team, Faye, Kelly and Andy excellent.

Food was amazing and so was the staff

Yet again another perfect meal from the wessex flyer. Luke took our order and was very informative. All staff were very professional and friendly

Beef Lasagne is not nice and under a table is not good and DO NOT COME IN THAT PUB

We decided to try the restaurant connected to the Premier Inn, but it turned out to be quite a letdown. The place wasn’t clean, with worn and dirty walls, decor, and furniture. The staff seemed overwhelmed and didn’t pay much attention to the customers. It took two hours just to get a main course and dessert each. It might have been even longer if I hadn’t gone up to the bar to ask them to start on the desserts. Overall, a disappointing experience and not the best memory. This restaurant might have been good when it first opened, but it’s lost its charm.

Big fan of a fry up and the food was hot and juicy, bacon wasn't super fatty like places usually are and the eggs were lovely

Another successful visit this morning 🥰 it was slightly busier today, probably due to it being half term, but still the service was impeccable (THANK YOU FAYE!!!) and the food was delish! This place never fails to disappoint. Our regular spot for breakfast or lunch 🥰🧡

Incredibly friendly welcoming service. Awsome. Great food, served in fast efficient, feindly professional manner good time. Two meals, two drinks total bill £24. Absolutely out standing all round, especially for the price

Izzy was amazing, she made sure we had everything we needed. She is a credit to the company.

Having to wait while they cook the breakfast items for the servery.

A place to stop by when walking the dog through the park. Nice and friendly staff. Dog friendly, when having a drink outside. Our dog loves it!

This is a great spot for some food and drinks all day around. Always friendly atmosphere and professional service. Menu to fit dietary requirements

Food basic and limited menu for vegetarians and if you have coeliac disease. Wish I never went to the bathroom before I ate as they were filthy and blocked. Although not directly their fault they need to regularly check them.

2 meals for £11.49 . Can't go wrong at that price . Food was lovely and staff were friendly.

Realy nice atmosphere, great service.Good price Thank you

Great food and drink. Great prices and fabulous staff. Kaye, Izzy and Luke x

Food always very good, pricing competitive and staff including management very attentive and always keen to ensure everything is as good as it can be.

We regularly visit the Wessex Flyer in Hengrove, Bristol. Today’s visit was no exception. The food and drinks were excellent. The service is always excellent with caring and pleasant staff. Faye, (the duty manager) and her team are all working together. A special shout-out to Casey who served us today, a lovely young lady. Faye has a lovely attitude and a hands-on work ethic with her team. Highly recommend.

Had the all you can eat buffet, only an hour in and they have sold out of some of the food, the food that was there had been under the lights too long and dried out, they had forgotten to put out the dips and sauces to accompany the meal.

After booking a table for 11+ were swiftly moved on when we were still drinking even though the pub was quiet 🙄

This spot is perfect for bargain breakfast. The food is always spot on, kids eat free and it’s buffet?! What more can you ask for! Faye is absolutely brilliant and if she isn’t already, she deserves to run the place! She is definitely the most friendly, bubbly and helpful!! We are regulars now as we love it here so much, won’t go anywhere else for breakfast!

Booked here as we stayed in the Premier inn next door, food was ok but the place is completely understaffed and needs to get more workers in. Took a hour or maybe just over for the food to come, if we didn't pay in advance we would have gone to KFC, I wasn't happy I have to say.

The Wessex Flyer in Bristol—a pub that makes one ponder the deeper meaning of existence. Or, more accurately, the absence of it. This is a tough one to review, not because it’s a complex enigma wrapped in a pub-shaped riddle, but because it’s so depressingly average that it makes me question why I ever started going to pubs in the first place. But let’s give credit where credit’s due. The staff were nice enough, doing their best in a place that seems hell-bent on draining the joy from every pint and every plate.. In short, The Wessex Flyer is a pub that you’ll want to avoid. Avoid it, unless you’re into that sort of thing.

A nice place to visit and dine in every day, the food is always cooked the way you like it and nice cold/ hot drinks.

Food was terrible ! Took close to half an hour to come and the club sandwich was stone cold. My wife ordered fish but was then told there were out of fish. She chose a jacket potato and chilli but the potato was hard. Then the two people sat behind us ordered fish and actually got it !

Brilliant food. Carvery or set menu. Breakfasts are amazing too

Food was very blah. Not inspiring

Had a wonderful breakfast this morning! Was perfect from start to finish. Went in alone with my daughter without booking and was welcomed in by Isaac who was lovely, funny and helpful. Then was served by Rihanna who fussed over my 2 year old and made her so happy! Breakfast was beautiful and fresh! Can’t wait to come back!

Thankyou for a lovely breakfast! Everything was hot fresh and delicious. Isaac, and Rihanna were lovely and made my visit perfect from start to finish. Service was fast and nothing was too much! Amazing!

Quick service and a special thanks to Luke who was so friendly and went above and beyond thank you Luke 😀

After standing at door waiting to be served was told they were full to capacity and no more walk ins allowed.

Nice food staff good would recommend

Fantastic breakfast, hot & continental buffet this day. Great selection & value for £10.99! Staff efficient, very friendly & helpful. Will definitely visit again.

The food was very good and the service was excellent. Was very busy but the staff on shift were attentive and the food came out quick.

Great food, good atmosphere will use again

The absolute worst restaurant/pub l have ever been , rude staff who , just slam drinks down and walk off , filthy tables , rubbish in the beer garden ,totally unacceptable.

Clean restaurant, friendly staff. Very busy on Sunday for breakfast, plenty of parking spaces.

My Steak shuld of been Med rare was Med 2 well done, cocktail was stirred not shaken no coffee machine was turned off @ 8-15

To packed long queue at the buffett, long weight for empty items to be refilled, no cups coffee machine no hot water do cold coffee all in all not a pleasant experience

Popped in for breakfast was greeted by a lovely lady called Faye, excellent service for all the team, breakfast was fantastic, buffet was replenished very quickly, and it was very busy and team were great throughout, highly recommend

Great pub for a drink and a sit down. Did not eat but staff friendly and also dog friendly

Too long to bring food. 46 minutes wait

Have always enjoyed the food and service is pretty much quick and staff are friendly

Received great service but like with all places by Whitbread, the free WiFi is appalling and its only deliberately slow to be greedy and encourage you to upgrade.

There are nice young people working. But i so get upset pay for a burger 14 pound and get little one like joke. Really small! Fries large but not proper cook. Toilet in bad condition.

The manager must be commended, always busy, always on the ball, the food is plentiful and great value and the stock at the bar is very good. Great.

All you can eat breakfast is great. But long waits on Sunday morning. Ample seating available

Good. Went at 2.30pm on a Sunday and there was bo carvery left

Welcoming, friendly staff. Breakfast buffet all looked and tasted fresh

Wonderful lazy weekend breakfast, unlimited breakfast and kids eat free. Lovely atmosphere, great staff many thanks to Faye and team.

Food was good and well priced. Standard brewers fair stuff. Happy to go again

Lovely afternoon, ladies at lunch 👭🥂🍾

Had Sunday Roast here. It was ok but the veg, apart from the cauli flower cheese and carrots, was a tad bland. The beef was excellent as was the yorkie { as the chef called it (lol) } and horseradish sauce. Unfortunately they had ran out of gammon so I can't comment on it. As I said overall it was ok.

Gave 5 stars purely for the staff and the efforts they go to, to make breakfast a nice experience. They are so cheerful and kind. The buffet breakfast food is good, (£10,99 per person)and lots of healthy options too, although I love a pan au chocolate after 🫶

Food today was disgusting and the customer service skills of some of the staff are even more disgusting and the short manager working there has no customer service skills what's so ever I do not no how he got a role of a manager. But then again the place is run into the ground and runs nothing like the one in bristol city centre so I'm not surprised they just employ anyone there. Will definitely not be eating at the hengrove location again

Excellent place for good quality food and service. The management team and the rest of the team work really hard and always courteous.

Great atmosphere. The manager is lovely and always happy to help. I definitely recommend a Breakfast.

When it comes to eating out, the quality of food is always a top priority. Recently, I tried the sirloin steak, and I was impressed by the quality, especially when considering the price. Even though I am quite choosy about my steak, this one met my expectations. The waiting staff were very polite and attentive, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. We stayed until closing time, and they were very accommodating, even as they prepared for breakfast. Overall, it was a great experience, and the prices were quite reasonable.

my sunday dinner was absolutely disgusting

Always good for an impromptu all-you-can-eat full English with the family, not always necessary to book in advance, but does get busy, so always good idea, so you aren't disappointed. Staff are always friendly, food is always great, always leave full! Great value for money !

Chips were skin-on and perfectly cooked. We'll stocked gin bar. Very friendly service. More than I would expect from a pub chain. Would reccomend.

Food taste nice, the staff are respectful and lovely

Lovely staff and the food was nice

RUDE RUDE RUDE MANAGER!!!!! Just been spoken to like absolute rubbish on his shoe, because I had been standing for 10 minutes with my disabled son who needed to sit down. Was aggressively spoken to. Will be speaking with head office as I’m appalled. No point telling people to wait to be seated if they won’t seat you, they just stare in your direction. Never met such an aggressive man. Embarrassed me infront of the whole pub.

Family Xmas meal for 20 people. No pre orders or deposits taken so was a little worried. No need brilliant service and food. Manager was very helpful nothing was to much trouble. Very impressed and food amazing. Well done. The best hassle free Xmas meal we have done.

Beware: closes at 2200, not 2300 as stated.

Tastes great. Green bean sauce. Tartar sauce is great.

Arrived 12pm got drinks and a table, viewed menu then ordered at bar. My friend had lasagne came out in oval dish boiling hot and staff warned hot, along with small salad and 2 slices garlic bread, she ordered side of fries. I ordered veggie lasagne same salad and garlic bread as came with meat version. Rather than go up again as can be a wait I ordered our dessert all in one order banoffe cheese cake with blob of ice cold ice-cream. Unfortunately had to ask 2 different members of staff for our desserts as 25mins after mains still not brought out! We expected to be about an hour all in, but because of delay we're 2hrs which is why only 3stars, it's not like they were busy, 2 staff chatting behind bar, 2 servers between serving deck and bar, yet I think she was a manager who brought out our meal and dessert. Cost just under £40 for 2 of us with a drink each. Felt it was rather overpriced and very limited vegetarian options, nothing on the deal 2 meals for £11.50 now because swapped cheese to violife and everything labelled vegan. Vegetarians and Vegan are vastly different with what can eat! Also on photos on website shows egg and chips, also on drop down list here for review selection, whilst I'm writing no cauliflower cheese either as shows on drop down options on review, yet was not on the menu in the pub!!!

great place to have breakfast not many locations in bristol do a help yourself breakfast but certainly recommend this one. many thanks to rihanna and faye for making our trip

Overnight stop on route to Bristol Airport, for flight to Canaries.

Visit the Wessex Flyer regularly, have always had great food and excellent service, Kelly and Issac are very friendly and welcoming, the rest of the team are just as great. I will continue to be a frequent visitor.

We are regulars on a Saturday, we have always had great food and the staff are excellent. We look forward to this as our weekly treat and break from the norm. Would definitely recommend for good food and a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Stay in a lot of Premier Inn Hotels with work, usually eat in the restaurants attached to the hotel. The Wessex Flyer, is dirty, run down restaurant with terrible food, there was 5 of us eating, two of the meals were inedible the others were mediocre, we did tell the waiting staff, who showed no interest. Better eating at McDonalds or Pizza Hut across the road.

We come regularly but had a little break recently came back for breakfast and as always food was delicious and the staff were welcoming , helpful and friendly especially Faye great team great place for breakfast (and lunch/ tea)

Booked a table for a time when I would like to eat. When ordering..at the bar, no table service, I was told there was a 35-40 minute wait. Food arrived after 30 minutes, cold and with ingredients missing.

Lovely food with attentive staff.

I was down in Bristol from Essex visiting the family this weekend and we all went for breakfast which was fantastic...we'd booked a table for the 9 adults and the 4 kids....it was busy there but the food dishes got refreshed really quickly and we all got what we wanted which was all yummy...the staff including Faye, Ellie and Rihanna were all soo helpful, friendly and managing everything so well. I'll definitely be going there again next time I'm down 🥰 .... and I thought the price and everything was great...thank you for adding to my lovely weekend away xx

Fantastic outing for my mother's 51st birthday, Staff were professional and friendly. Food was exceptional and waiter was happy to help once we were enjoying our meal.

Not been here for a while, however this time around meals and service where what you would expect from a busy brand restaurant, special thanks to Kelly and izy for going the extra mile for our kids

Convenient for staying in Premier Inn. We chose fish and chips which was very nicely cooked. Clean and friendly staff.

Came in on Saturday 17th feb with a big table and what can I say about the place, smooth, Ellie was working got told there was an hour wait on food because there was only 2 chefs working got told it was jay and Louis and what can I say we waiting for around 45 mins and all the food was hot and fresh, we was so grateful we wasn’t waiting for long, we had a couple round of drinks in time for our food so even more perfect

Simply good food at a great price. People are helpful and the service is good. The only thing I would say is the building is looking a bit tired now.

We have just walked out after waiting 15 mins, big queue waiting to get seated and pay and being totally ignored. When we saw people waiting for the food to come as well, self service we decided we were not waiting any longer. Really poor organisation and management, get it sorted. Pay for the staff if you want people to come.
