The best restaurants serving British food in Yate Central South Gloucestershire South West

Wow! I just can’t thank everyone enough from tonight. This is a local of mine and I go to quite frequently so would always be on the list to use for an occasion, but this held special memories of my mum and dad’s wedding anniversary 25 years ago and we chose to have it again for my mother’s 50th birthday. Paul was amazing to deal with in organising the Buffet and room hire for a reasonable price too! On the day we were allowed to set up and decorate very early which was fantastic and really helped elevate the stress of getting it done before a certain time. The staff were amazing, so helpful and attentive accompanied by a friendly smile. It’s great to see staff enjoy themselves as well as the invitees. Katie of particular note offering a great service in the private bar upstairs. The manager was honest about the buffet saying to not cater for all as there was a lot of food. There was plentiful whilst catering for over 10 less than expected- I was chucking food at anyone who could have it by the end! A great selection of quiches, sandwiches, crisps, nuts, pizza etc was all served and ready for us when wanted. I can’t thank the team enough for making this run as smoothly as possible. I honestly could not recommend this place highly enough for anyone looking for a hall with catering for an event.

When we visit Yate we always like to go to Boswells the food is always lovely and the staff are always helpful. They have plenty of staff and they all seem to be happy in their work. Tables are always cleaned and when observing I see that the staff are always on hand to help people that need a hand taking drinks to their tables and anything they need. The restaurant has a lovely welcoming atmosphere and I liken it to a community meeting place. Lovely tasty food well cooked with a great choice and always a welcoming smile from the staff, which makes a huge difference to feeling welcome. Thank you to all I look forward to our next visit.

Read a lot of negative reviews about this place. It has changed, but in terms of a fish and chip shop it ticks all boxes. One size fish, One size chips is obviously their way of simplifying the menu. Fish was decent with crispy batter, nice chips. Good value also.

Myself and two friends went to The Lawns for the Sunday Carvery, and came away full and very content! The food was all lovely. My friends had the roast beef and both said that it was the best beef they'd ever had at a carvery! We had to go back up for a couple of items, as it was pretty busy and the demand was high! The roast veg was all lovely and crispy, and the mashed potato was fluffy. They will serve until they run out, and we're still going strong when we left shortly after 3pm. The staff were friendly and helpful and I was told when the cauliflower cheese was about to come out... I was stuffed, but was determined and I managed to fit a little in! No photos, as it was on the plate one minute, and in our stomachs the next!! Thank you to the staff and management. We'll be back! :)
