Reviews
"A great pub. Amazing atmosphere, the service was the best. The best Sunday roast ever. Great ingredients and perhaps the best beef that Ive ever eaten. Now I can understand why the Sunday is always fully booked. Give it a try at least for a beer, the place is magical"
"The Sunday lunch here was delicious, one of the best I've ever had; veg was cooked well, the extras were delicious and the beef was SO TENDER. Didn't need a starter. For the price it was pretty unbeatable. Quite small inside so recommend booking (although you might need to book a way in advance as this is popular)."
"One of the best roasts in Bristol. Can’t fault any of it. Freshly prepared, tasty, great value for money and awesome customer service. Deserves its reputation"
"Booked a roast dinner at the bank tavern almost 2 years ago and finally got to try the famous roast dinner out and it didn’t disappoint. The pub itself is tucked away and if you haven’t been before is easy to miss. Inside is a nice mix of new and old and the pub itself is very small and probably explains why the waiting list is so long! The starter I went with was the ham hock and it was great! For main I went with roast beef and it’s possibly the best roast beef I’ve had. It’s soft and tender and just melts in the mouth! Roast potatoes were nice and crispy also. My only complaint with my main course was I only had 2 pieces of beef, where as most other places I’ve had a roast offer 3. And for dessert I went with a white chocolate crème brûlée which again was one of the best I’ve had. All this for £19.95 is outstanding value and will be hard to beat at that price. The staff were friendly and helpful and made sure everything was okay with our food."
"Good roast in a quiet hidden away location. The food was nice, tasty but I think the winner here is the price. 3 courses for £17.95.. Can't go wrong. The only downside was the dessert, just wasn't a fan of the rice pudding."
