The best restaurants in Chipping Sodbury South Gloucestershire South West

What a dreadful name for a pub.

The staff were very welcoming. I really enjoyed the food and the service was great! Will return.

We had two toasties and coffees. Both were excellent and well priced. We sat on. Two stools in the window which is the only place inside.

We went to cafe before doing shopping. Limited brunch menu. Good quality toasties and various pastries, muffins etc. Coffee ok. Not the best. Generally clean. Pleasant no-nonsense staff. A few tables outside for those with dogs.

This place doesn't have all the bells & whistles but the staff are great, the food is fantastic and the portion sizes are good. It's more a takeaway but has seating out back.

Sunday lunch was nice but had better, pork nice, very disappointing crackling as it was small and it was from a packet (pork scratchings) the puffy ones! Sat very close to next table with other customers on it, staff friendly, unfortunately wouldn’t hurry back.

Why when I went into the Royal Oak last Friday 21st February at 1.30 pm for what I hoped was Lunch was I turned away? My husband and two friends from Devon, surely that isn't to late for lunch. My view is they like the locals going in but not people that they do not recognise. So disappointing we went to the George instead and had a very nice welcome and lunch.

Very poor AVOID AVOID AVOID Loud music until 1AM. Breakfast (or lack thereof) very poor.

A pub/Chinese restaurant with lots more, food is top notch and beer garden is amazing, had our wedding reception in the function room and it couldn't have been done better, eight stars from me.

Chipping Sodbury has a dearth of cafes but this must be the worst - indeed possibly the worst cafe I have ever had the misfortune to visit. Service was unbelievably slow - nearly 25 minutes in two queues, the first to order and pay and the second to wait for the coffee. No apologies, and the server had to actually be asked to provide teaspoons for our coffees and a fork for our piece of cake. The coffee was pretty tasteless, only the cake was alright. And the clientele seemed to be largely people with noisy, yappy, whiny, untrained dogs. Never again!

The Horseshoe is a lovely place, very welcoming and brilliant atmosphere, going there on my own I feel safe. Good place for live music, Good place for all . Amazing thanks to the staff.

This is our favourite place to order a kebab from. The food is great and the portions are good. Delivery is quick when they’re not busy, and pretty standard when they are.

We ordered a take away and gave clear instructions to our address - the driver called shouting in an aggressive manner as he could not find the property - he was sat almost outside, he just needed to turn into the road we had specified on the delivery notes. After much aggressive shouting from him in the telephone where he would not allow us to speak I walked to the end of the courtyard to retrieve the delivery. I was greeted with more aggression when I asked how I could have made the delivery instructions easier for him - he then sped off. We called the restaurant to report this and the person who answered the phone claimed to be the ‘new person’ and also the ‘only person working on the premises’ - we asked for the managers name and the person hung up on us. To really add to this experience, when we opened up the food, the order was incorrect. … this isn’t the first time this has happened with this same driver (in a white car).. but it will be the last as we won’t be ordering from this restaurant again.

We became a bit concerned when we arrived at this restaurant above the Horse Shoe Pub in Chipping sodbury High Street and there was no one there. It was empty. Down stairs the pub was rammed with revellers enjoying the live music. Trying to fins the restaurant was a bit complicated as it didn't seem to be clear where we had to go and we wandered around the pub for a while trying to get our bearings. Eventually we found a door that led to some steep steps which would make this a difficult venue for anyone disabled or in a chair. The stairs were steep and at the top was a sign telling us to wait here to be seated. We rang a small bell and a lady came and showed us to our table in a completely empty dining room. This sounded the alarm bells. why was there no one else dining? It was a reasonably attractive room but very cold as the window was open and several of the seats had rips in the cushions? The sound of the band from down below was extremely loud and made talking a bit difficult. We were given menus and immediately told some of the dishes were off. Ratatouille, Fillet, T bone and Rib Eye were all unavailable. Undeterred we ordered 2 Monk Fish, one Sea Bass and one Pork medallion. The server came back to tell us the Monk Fish was also off. So we ordered another Pork and a Sirloin steak with Bourbon BBQ Sauce? Then we waited. for over an hour actually. Our server brought us a bowl of Crisps to keep us going. Eventually when the food arrived it was very disappointing. The Sea Bass was actually so small it would have made a good starter or a Tapas dish but it went nowhere near a main course. They delivered the 8oz Rump and not the 14oz Sirloin. There were no sides, no additional dishes to compliment the mains and the Portions were very small. The Pork was over cooked and dry and the Asparagus was stone cold. There was enough Hollandaise Sauce to feed a dozen people and none of us even tried it. When asked by our server if our meal was OK we did tell her it was cold and that the wait had been far too long. She said they had staff problems and there was only one chef on duty. However, she did agree not to charge for the wine as a good will gesture. This wasn't the '5 star dining experience' we were promised and there were mistakes at every level. I do hope they can resolve these issues or their new venture will be short lived. I think they are trying to do too much, Pub, Music, Wine bar, BBQ food , fine dining. They need to decide what they want to deliver and stick to that. The Hill Top Restaurant was I'm afraid a step too far.
