Wishing Well Inn in South Gloucestershire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in on the off chance on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to accommodate us no problem. Had the roast dinner (one beef, one turkey) and it was great. Plenty of flavour and plenty on the plate. Very good value for money.

It was very quiet when we visited at about 15:30 on a Sunday afternoon, hence the low atmosphere score. We had a drink and a meal, which very good for pub grub. Service was pleasant and we were were warmly welcomed. Plenty of off street parking in a quiet location.

Stayed here overnight in the rear car park, staff were all very friendly and accommodating the food was great and the service even better. Fantastic pub for stay over for the night on route to Devon would highly recommend and will definitely be calling again thanks everyone 😊😊🍻

Kitchen shuts at 8:15 but if you arrive at 8:10 everything is off and there's no food. Pick a time and stick to it.

Great pub, super friendly, loves dogs

Friendly welcome and good service.

Didn't have a meal but your bar man took the opportunity to take my family members phone number out your booking diary and proceed to message her asking if she was single, lewis was his name ,lovely meal though but have a look at your 3rd party. Thanks

Monday lunch really enjoyed the company. The food took so long to arrive. We were told that service could be a while but it took well over a hour to reach table. The Gravy was congealed The pie was hard and cold in parts Small portions It wasn't even a tablespoon of peas. Scampi chips 8 pieces again peas we're not even a tablespoon. Lasagne was very hot to the point where it was over heated. Two members of staff that was including the kitchen staff. Tried to give feed back but unfortunately he got defensive but we thought it might be helpful as you learn from mistakes. Won't be going back there.

What an amazing and generous pub owner. We were passing through in our motorhome for the second time and asked if we could spend the night. No problem was the reply. Definitely recommended if you are travellers like us. A big thank you.

Cosy family run little pub offering a well stocked bar and comprehensive menu serving dishes to tempt all taste

Came for lunch today. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced! We sat outside, lots of space for the kids to run around with their football. Liam served us and he was fab, very helpful, friendly and welcoming! This is the 2nd time we've been and we'll definitely be returning and recommending!

I stopped here after a long drive. I wanted to have some food and stay the night in my Campervan. It was a good choice. I had a great meal, the staff are lovely, the garden is huge, very nice with bunnies in it. I was able to stay in the large car park and I had a peaceful night. I would highly recommend.

Brought my mum and brother for a roast dinner a couple of Sundays again. Thought the portion size was decent and the meat (went for beef) was cooked really nicely too. Weather was a bit rubbish so didn't sit outside but looks like it would be really nice when it's sunny as the garden is massive!

Food was good and Grace behind the bar was lovely

Only give food 4 stars as has a chemical taste to it but we'll presented

Great food good choice on the menu great value for money.

Absolutely lovely pub, lovely feel, I never visit pubs alone however on this occasion I did and was made to feel very welcome. Staff can’t do enough for you and all deserve a pay rise.. staff very chatty to me which was nice, when my food arrived I was blown away with how delicious it was. I will definitely be visiting again .. thank you all

Nice pub, however, very quiet. Needs entertainment perhaps on Fri or sat nights to bri g folk in.

Came here last Thursday evening as a group of 7 what a lovely place and very welcoming food was great and the bar staff was lovely very helpful and Rachel had a lovely way with the children nothing was too much of a bother for her .wish all pubs had this level of welcome ness Thank you Rachel

Good food it was steak night and thank you to Rachel behind the bar who was lovely, very welcoming and good at her job! We will return.

Brilliant! Can't fault it. Lovely lady served us. Food was great and reasonably priced. Drinks average price for area. We stayed in the carpark overnight in our motorhome. A great stopover. Close to the M4 Bath junction and a handy place for us to stop on our way to Castle Combe.

We were there with our motorhome, had a delicious meal and were allowed to spend the night on the meadow/gravel 😁 A win for everyone 👍

Really lovely country style pub. Have been here many times in the past and enjoyed ourselves. Haven't been for a while so thought we would go here for a change of scenery. I was quite shocked how much the prices for food have increased - considering the portion sizes it arrived as. I didn't get pictures of all our food, my friend got the salt and chilli chicken kebab and fries - hers looked amazing and a relatively good portion (cost £13.50). I had adults hunters chicken which came with chips, 2 onion rings, half a grilled tomato and a tiny bit of rocket, I thought was slightly overpriced at £12.29. We were most shocked at my daughter meal, she went for the 'bigger appetite' hunters chicken. As pictured it was just a hunters style breast of chicken, maybe 10 chips and 2 tiny spriggs of rocket on top - although it said on the menu a salad garnish. This cost £8.25! Which I thought was way overpriced for the portion, in comparison to other places in regards to 'bigger appetite' child meals.. this was definitely one of the smallest portions I've seen. Was quite disappointed it didn't even come with peas or some other extra that is healthy. We did order side dishes of halloumi sticks - which were honestly the best I've ever had. Onions rings - also wonderful and garlic bread which unfortunately was quite overcooked. The pub itself is lovely, lots of character, open fire for those colder months, seating outside at the front and back which is awesome. Plenty of parking as well. I would recommend this place if you're wanting a cold drink in the sun but unfortunately due to us being quite disappointed with the food, we won't be back.

Visit 28.4.24 Staff are always so welcoming and accommodating. Roast dinners are wonderful and piping hot Told a fair few people about you and always chose your roasts over any local provider. Room was nice and warm on a cold day too Suggestions: Cauliflower Cheese and some more dessert choices

My family and I (11 of us) came for a meal for a birthday celebration this evening and were sat next to an even larger table who were also celebrating a birthday. The table next to us had just finished eating when we arrived and were drinking; they were so loud and increasingly rowdy and after enduring it for a while, my dad asked them politely if they’d mind being a little bit quieter, whilst also acknowledging that they were there for a celebration too. This was met with an awkwardness and hostility which persisted throughout the whole meal, with younger (drinking) members of the other table continuing to moan and talk about it under their breath for the duration. Reference was made to the fact it’s a pub and not a wake. Completely appreciate that, but it was 6pm in a family pub, with our young children including a 3 year old and one month old baby. We spoke to bar staff afterwards whose response was ‘sorry there wasn’t anything we could do about it’, ‘it’s just one of those situations’, ‘it was out of our control’ which just highlights that they would not have dealt with it appropriately had they been given the opportunity to (baffled that they had no awareness of how rowdy it was - appreciate loudness comes when numbers are high but it was far beyond that), and were probably just happy to take their money. The pub was empty apart from our two tables and my mum had mentioned that perhaps we could have been placed elsewhere, to which the waitress responded to say ‘there was nowhere else we could put you’ even though we have previously frequented the pub and sat elsewhere over the last twelve years. On leaving the pub, one person from the other table said they ‘were that close to decking my dad’ - a completely disproportionate response!! The really loud and then awkward atmosphere and poor response of the bar staff/ management are all reasons why we left our meal earlier (taking the birthday cake with us) and we will not be returning in the future! I’d recommend others look elsewhere too based on our experience.

Food was delicious & reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Definitely going to make it a regular for dining out.

Food stunning, staff friendly, polite. Highly recommend and will 100% be going back.

Food bad pie cheap peas frozen chips frozen mirrusons cheapest

Excellent venue , staff friendly , countryside location near Bristol . Pub grub , good beers

Staff and venue warm and welcoming and the food and service was good. We 3 adults all went for the Sunday Roast so didn't try the main menu but we also had a little one with us who chose from the Kid's menu and that food was good too.

Used to be one of our regular haunts but not been in ages so, encouraged by the offer, booked for lunch and it was an excellent visit. Happy with the menu and service, the bar lady was friendly and 'on the ball' and the meals were freshly cooked and piping hot.

Went on a Monday night for a meal with 7 without booking, was very quiet but overall good experience, solid food, decent prices, and friendly service.

Great food. Very helpful and friendly staff. One of my favourite places to eat.

Fantastic staff, food great, Quick service

Lovely pub Lovely welcome stayed overnight in our campervans and woke up to a beautiful site will definitely return A☆

Yet another lovely Sunday Roast at the Wishing Well. Staff friendly and welcoming and a plus they are dog friendly. 👏👏👏

Went here for a family meal, lovely place in the countryside, very empty only a couple of others in there. Ordered 4 mains and 4 garlic breads for starters, the barmaid was very cold and unwelcoming, 2 of the garlic breads arrived, both were under cooked and only toasted on the top half, the other 2 took ages to come as the barmaid was to busy feeding another couples dogs with chews from behind the bar. Was around 8 further minutes till she arrived back with another 2 rounds of soggy undercooked garlic bread. There was no mixed grills or kebabs available, we ended up with 2 burgers and 2 hunters chicken, the roll on my burger was so hard you could of thrown it threw a window, the hunters chicken was microwaved to death and was brought home for the cat, who didn’t eat it, all in all this is the worst meal we have had out in the last 24 months and ended up going to a different pub for dessert. This is such a shame as it’s a beautiful setting, Marstons clearly need to employ a proper trained chef for this pub as the food was awful, and employ someone who can give a warm and cheerful welcome and some descent customer service. I will not ever be going to this pub again and will be sending a letter of complaint to Marstons, We did ask them to swap out for a new roll but there was no apology from the barmaid, I will write a letter of complaint to head office and recommend they get some descent chefs and staff. All in all a very disappointing evening in the pub. I would also recommend moving table 1 as you can see straight into the kitchen and see our food sitting under a warmer hood for around 20 minutes.

Staff amazing... always make you feel welcome , nothing to much trouble.

Lovely warm pub. Comfortable seating. Good choice of menu and very friendly helpful staff. Only negative we couldn't order dessert from the lunch menu after the main course as it had to be ordered at the same time as main meal and you don't always know if you want a dessert beforehand.

I booked a table for 4 for lunch, following us attending Westerleigh Crematorium to intern our sister's ashes. We found the pub welcoming, cosy and the staff friendly and helpful. The log fire crackling away certainly helped with the ambiance and it was lovely to visit a proper old fashioned country pub. The food was excellent, delivered quickly enough (given they had a wake taking palce at the same time) and hot. Nothing was too much trouble and we've all decided we will definately be visiting again. The only downside from our visit was the lack of food options ( we wanted 3 mixed grills but only 2 were available and there was no sherry trifle cheesecake, which I'd been looking forward to all week!)

Always our go to place for a decent Sunday roast. Has always been great there with the new people that have taken it over . Food is always fresh , cooked perfectly . Would highly recommend

Six of is had lunch today. Lovely table, warm and welcoming. Lovely fresh food and great service. Will definitely be back.

This is a traditional country pub with a welcoming atmosphere and on a cold day it was good to find there was an open fire in the bar. The menu offers a fairly good range and a reasonable prices. The food was well presented and well cooked, however there was a problem with two of our main meals. Myself and another guest had chosen to have the Thursday lunchtime special, which was steak and a free drink. Unfortunately, both of us found the steak to be tough and extremely fatty, making it almost inedible. Following our meal we were surprised to find that the landlord came to our table as he had seen that the steaks were only half eaten and was concerned to find out if there was a problem. After we explained, he was quick to point out that had we returned the meal earlier he would have changed it, but as we hadn't he would compensate by offering a refund. We were impressed by his concern to please his customers and will definitely be returning.

Had a car club meeting there, with 28 pre ordered meals required. All went really well. Thank you Wishing Well.👍

If I could give this food a (0). It was the worst fish and chips ever, had the lighter lunch menu. Ordered at 2.15 food arrived at 2.30pm fish batter was soggy I just wish I had taken a picture. My husband had the veg Chili it came out warm, as I tasted it and just went to the bar after a lady was being served. I said we couldn’t eat our food and requested our money back which they did but the chef Kev was very rude and said there was nothing wrong with our meals when our food was brought out! He obviously does eat the food he prepares. It was shocking we normally go to this pub regularly but this was the first and last time with these new owners.

Top food and really nice atmosphere 10/10

Visited for a Sunday Lunch. We were greeted with a warm welcome and the real fire was warm and comforting. The food was amazing, with all fresh veg and crispy potatoes, best roast I have had in a long time. I would definitely recommend. Thank you to Kev and the Team we will definitely be returning.

Had a great time very friendly staff will be going there again.

Been 4 times over the last month due to great food and warm service,despite being newly taken over they've done brilliantly 👏

Fabulous Food with Fabulous friends. Thank you Kev and the team for an amazing afternoon. The food was exceptional and we are looking forward to our next booking in April. Caroline and the other WIMA girls.

Service was excellent and friendly and the food was great

Had the special Weds offer. curry and a pint. Delicious xxx thank you. Lovely warm welcome and log fire on horrid wet night.

As always a lovely atmosphere and cosy traditional pub Great food and service too

Not been here for years since it was called the codrington, nice to see it's still got it's charm only called in for a drink as we were passing, worth a look very friendly and I've been told the food is excellent...I'll be back

Visited today for lunch and the food was amazing. Its a cracking little/not so little pub, really cosy atmosphere. Definitely going back

Great night, food was amazing! & a cosy atmosphere! Staff are friendly & quick service. Highly recommend!

We booked a table of 25 and we were very impressed with how fast the food came out all together, food was brilliant and waiting staff were very attentive. Will definitely book again

Great food, very well cooked and my steak was spot on as i like it, lovely country pub with a real log fire which added to the atmosphere. Looking forward to the chef (Kevin) adding his own menu he's truly the best chef in Yate with no rival!! No doubt when the new menu comes in tables to book will be like hens teeth. Looking forward to our next visit.

Had my staff Xmas meal here great food and service definitely will return

Staff were super lovely and the food was great. X x x x x. Z xx z xx. Z z xx z. Z z. Z z xx z xx z

Wonderful Food, lovely pub with open fire. Lovely and cosy. Late lunch and the food was excellent, definitely worth a visit and will return, thank you

It’s a lovely and cozy place to spend your evening for drinks and food. The large and open outdoor area will be great for the summertime!

Amazing pub with great staff, food was lovely and location was perfect, 10/10 would come again.

We were a pre-booked group of 6 when we visited and they were very busy due to a funeral party who just turned up unannounced and a member of staff who hadn't come in that day! Never the less were well looked after with good service and the food was excellent, well prepared and hot. When ever we need to take friends out to a pub for a meal we will go the the Wishing Well again. My local car club have recently started to hold their monthly meeting there so I will be back! Thank you for looking after us so well.

One barman! He was inexperienced but also had to serve everyone’s food as well! Loads waiting for either food to arrive or in the Q to order a drink! Was told it’s under new ownership and it’s now terrible service but better food! Sadly we...

Such a cozy night out. Home away from home. Beautiful aesthetics, amazing food, thanks to the wonderful chef! Loved that it came out piping hot. Lovely service from Kieran, Kevin, Tash Lewis, always attentive to what we needed. Best part was the perfect fireplace !!...

The food was really good the pub was nice, warm and cozy great experience I recommend.Had chicken tikka masala and it was delicious.

I came here with the church guys last night and I can honestly say the atmosphere was amazing, really good place to be, the food is spot on and would highly recommend to anyone, the area that stood out was the fireplace oh my days...

This place is perfect for meeting with friends or dates as it has a very nice atmosphere will definitely go again!

Booked the table for family and ourselves who were more than satisfied with food and service as were we.

Best burger I have ever had! Amazing customer service, cozy and well cooked food. I’d recommend to anyone, I really loved it

Beautiful pub located in the picturesque village of Codrington serving a wide selection of hot and cold meals along with a well stocked bar also serving a selection of real ales. The place has been given a new lease of life by former Bristol Bears...

Stopped here for an impromptu Sunday lunch without a booking. We had a very warm welcome from Lucy, who squeezed us in and gave us great service and wonderful food. Highly recommend. Dog friendly - our labradoodle particularly loved Lucy!

Great food cooked by the Ex-Head Chef from the Bristol Bears Rugby Team, lovely surroundings and cosy atmosphere also has a well stocked bar and large menu

Well stocked bar, Good Food, Great Atmosphere, Open Fire, Dog Friendly and plenty of parking.

Lovely warm welcome from the staff when entering. Cosy fire. The food was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

A super variety of food on the menu to suit must tastes, the staff were friendly and professional in service. my wife is a retired chef and her comments on the standard of food was heart warming to hear as she is quite fussy. we...

Excellent service, great food ,friendly staff nothing is to much troubke for them as i am a fussy eater, will definitely visit again

Fantastic food, excellent service. Very welcoming. The open fire makes it very warming aswell. Overall the whole experience was the best ive had so far. Keep it up. We will be coming back again.

Excellent service and staff were excellent, the chief was outstanding...9 of us turned up and all the food was delivered to our table piping hot and no-one had to wait... 10 out of 10 from me

Lovely Sunday Roast. Always a bit cautious when the usual daily menu is also being served when Sunday roast menu is offered, but was pleasantly surprised. Lovely beef and roasties were good. Great service and nice atmosphere. Will be back 😊

We visited for Sunday lunch , the Sunday roast was hot and very tasty, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be returning to try more dishes , reasonably priced so 5/5 stars 🌟 awarded.

Made very welcome. Food was delicious and staff were great. Would recommend a visit. Christmas menu also looked amazing we will be returning.

Great burger and a pint. Friendly and attentive staff. Would recommend.

It's a lovely pub in yate, food was great & the staff are very friendly, it's even got its own old wishing well in garden .

Nice big pub ideal for birthdays, wakes, christenings etc, or a quiet drink or meal. Friendly cheerful staff and Kev is a excellent chef who has been in the business for years. You can take your dog if you wish and enjoy a log fire during the colder months.

This is such a lovely cosy pub, staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food was really nice and there was lots of options on the menu. This was my first visit and I will definitely will be returning!

Very friendly staff on arrival,come solo and was well looked after , i chose the turkey roast and didnt dissapoint !! i will for sure be returning often to try the menu all looks good from your pub classics to a twist :)

Went for the steak night first time under new management and it didn’t disappoint! Lovely warm welcome and good food we have rebooked lovely to have the pub back long may it last. Tim and Linda

New landlord - very impressive improvement Great cooking - good beers and delightful staff plus roaring fire. Been twice this week - both occasions very good - food very good and freshly prepared. Early days but has this place been saved?

Very nice food would recommend to friends s and family very good value for money excellent service Curry and a pint on Wed £11.95 bargain

Kev is an amazing chef, he and his family have recently taken over this lovely premises. His food is amazing and his family are lovely. It will be well worth the visit.

We had a lovely evening meal - great food and the fire was creating the lovey atmosphere Staff are so happy and organised was like it used to be thank you

If you want a warmth feeling pub this is where you need to come! Nice roaring fire making it feel cosy! Staff polite and friendly, excellent service, excellent food and value for money!

Now that kev has taken over with his family you have a well known chef in kev whose food is out of this world.They have a lot of experience in running a pub & you will not be disapointed.

Came here for a meal with family, a nice variety of meals to choose from, staff were lovely and really made us feel welcome. Food came out quickly and tasted amazing I would come back here again best Marstons around!

We avoided this pub after a few years go had a bad experience, but it’s recently been taken over, and WOW it really did shocked me and my family how amazing it is now. From the warmest welcome to the lovely food we will 100% be returning. The team are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. Highly recommend this family pub. ❤️
