The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Downend South Gloucestershire South West

I absolutely love this family run cafe . Kerry and Rich are so lovely and welcoming. I’m a coffee snob and the coffee here is spot on . I should have put a photo of my breakfast on but I’ve eaten it , lol . The food is beautifully seasoned and very good value for money . There are tables outside but it’s pet friendly anyway . They also do outside catering . Please support this local business.

Went to celebrate a birthday on 2nd Dec. The decor and atmosphere were warm and lovely, the food was gorgeous and the staff were wonderful. I forget the name of the chap who served us (Valor?) but he was kind, friendly, helpful and funny. Good cider too! It was quite expensive but honestly it was worth it, especially as a gluten intolerant vegetarian... So many good options.

If we decide to go out for breakfast on a special occasion (birthday) we usually go to somewhere else close to The Beehive, but decided to try the beehive, to support another local business. We ordered some coffees, which were nice and also ordered two English breakfasts. The breakfasts were tasteless, definitely cheap produce and everything was cooked in a lot of oil. Weatherspoons would have been a better breakfast! It's such a shame as you want to support local businesses, but often you can be disappointed. Won't be going back for food.

Popped in for a coffee and cake when we came down from Wolverhampton definitely will drop in again when we come to Downend

There are, arguably, two reasons to visit Downend. One is on a summer’s afternoon to watch Downend CC play cricket with the bar in full swing and plenty of boundaries being scored as the ground is relatively small; the other is to pay a visit to Melanie’s Kitchen. This delicatessen shop is a positive cornucopia of cheeses, bakery items, biscuits, chutneys, artisan breads etc etc. The man who serves at the cheese counter (who I assume is not Melanie!) is a fountain of knowledge on local cheeses and knows all of the local cheese producers, when their cheeses are at their best and is happy to provide advice to ensure that you will leave well satisfied having enjoyed a sensory and culinary experience second to none. It’s full marks from me.

Me and my mum came here yesterday . The lady that served us .was very welcoming and very helpful.. we sat outside . The drinks and the food were excellent and so was the service she gave us .. we will come back again ...
