The best restaurants in Clifton East Bristol, City of South West

Super poor food this time. Real waste of money. Salad was so badly chopped it was like eating a whole onion and cabbage. Burnt end had no barbecue sauce and were red. Beef was overcooked. And i would of liked more than 8 chips. Have eaten from here many times and enjoyed it but this meal and the last one was a waste of money. Will not go back....

Great food, great service. Only negative was being sat right next to the pizza oven which was obviously really hot. I think the seats should be away from the oven or something sort of air conditioning.

The sweet dishes are too sweet , the salty dishes are too salty the overall taste is not good the environment is OK.

Lovely carrot cake and lovely friendly staff, staff attitudes can very considerable unfortunately

Visited last night food was very cold told the waiter which all he did was apologised didn't offer us anything, the chef kept coming out and then putting hot food onto cold food which It should of been taken away and then put the hot food out when hot holding it should be at a certain temperture which It wasn't lamb and beef was chewy , plates weren't cleared quick enough proberly won't be bk

Great friendly place, great prices for food (Pizza's) and drinks. Will be calling in again for sure on next visit to Bristol.

We had originally planned to go to another restaurant with a similar name...but had a very upset son whose nut allergy couldn't/wouldn't be accommodated. We contacted 'The Spiny Lobster' who immediately reassured us that everything is freshly made and a nut allergy would not be a problem at all. The staff were truly amazing and the food was fabulous too. Great to see the hardworking chefs in action. I'm so grateful that the team made my son's birthday so special (despite the awful start). I couldn't give any particular recommendations to anyone thinking of eating here as all the food was excellent. Thank you

Managed to get a last minute table on Sunday for lunch and all 4 roast dinners were lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive and it had a nice cozy vibe! We will be back!

Beautiful old English pub with great food

Wow just wow, just been for Sunday lunch and had whole chicken for two with all the trimmings, Amazing what a feast. Sadly I didn’t get a pic but well worth it. Best roast he’s ever had was other half’s words - well done Port it was stunning 👍

Best Sunday lunch in Bristol. Make sure you book. 😋😋

I came along to River Cottage last night - I attended the Thursday night vegetable supper club with friends. The food was delicious, innovative. Full of flavour. There are 2 courses to choose from, mains and a dessert. I had the curried squash Dal with Kale this was amazing. Followed by a chocolate beetroot torte with spiced poached pears and yoghurt. This was a delight for my taste buds. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant and very friendly staff. Very affordable prices on food and drinks. There is a shop come deli inside the restaurant selling a great selection of cook books, blankets, honey and more. RC I will come again. I loved it!

Great cosy pub. Lovely atmosphere. Great selection of drinks.

Awesome food, friendly great service, good value for money, definitely recommend. Chips perfect!!!!
