We had an amazing time while visiting Chequers Inn, Hanham during a Sunday for some Sunday Roast. Everything tasted good and staff were extremely kind. Dogs everywhere, lot’s of green area and positive vibes. My favourite was the sticky pudding at the end it always is Definitely recommend you to visit!
After our last visit was tarnished by a very busy restaurant- We revisited this evening 26/08, I can honestly say we had an amazing fish and chips and ham egg and chips with delicious desserts. Ben looked after us from the minute we walked in, it was how I always remember our previous visits before the Sunday blip. The music was playing outside its a great place for an evening meal and chill out Thank you PREVIOUS REVIEW After our visit today we won’t be returning- the worst roast I’ve ever had, standard has definitely gone downhill since are last visit. Considering the prices they charge, £5.50 for a cauliflower cheese which was tasteless and the meat on the roast was something you’d purchase from Iceland not happy at all over £110 spent on terrible food - we understand the wait as very busy and the waitress was lovely
Lovely spot by the river for a Sunday roast. We were surprised to get a table. Perfect after a long stroll! Staff were very accommodating and service was good despite the place being busy. Nice food and a good range of options to choose from
Summer terrace with good restaurant right on the river, simple classic dishes and a few good vegetarian options. Parking available nearby. Service was great and the people are friendly but it took long for the drinks and the food to arrive. Waiting time was about 45 min… however, the food was fresh and delicious. We had cauliflower steak with salsa verde, heritage beetroot salad and a burger. All great! A bit pricy but you are paying extra for the location.. Good selection of beers and ciders! The place can also be accessed by cycling along the river bank which is fantastic.
Fantastically situated pub/restaurant alongside the river with the most gorgeous views overlooking the forestry behind, the staff have gone to great lengths in making the outdoor seating area just perfect with ambient lighting and a marquee. The staff are always lovely and genuinely friendly and chatty. The indoor seating area is rustic with a lovely wood fire for the winter months. It also attracts a very diverse crowd and not just locals. Food is of a high quality my only minor criticism is the limited variety of vegan food other than that - this place is quality.
Food has definitely uped its game since I last been here. I would have given a 5 star but unfortunately I got a hair on my food, I would still recommend coming here as the food was amazing, I can't let a minor slip let this place down, Customer service is great Food is great Location is great especially when the sun's out,
We visited yesterday after a day of swimming and sitting in the sun. We didn't think we'd get a table and a roast at 7pm! But we got both and the food was delicious. Happy staff too and good management observed : was the perfect end to a perfect day!
Good food. £16-19 for a Sunday roast, so fittingly premium for a riverside pub. Big plate, small food. Roast could have done with some more veg. Will try the old lock and Weir next time to compare.
Went for dinner as a group of 3 on a Thursday evening. The staff were lovely and didn't push us to order quickly. They were attentive and took extra care with someone's nut allergy, removing pesto from the starter and checking the label of the hot chocolate and consulting with us to check that everything would be safe to eat.
A quick Google for the best roast in Bristol highlighted.... as a must try. So I did and this is what I found Location It's on the outskirts of the city, well to be accurate around a 2 hour walk. We walked it after a heavy Sunday morning breakfast and because its majority alongside the river we really enjoyed the walk! Would reccomend this as on a nice day. As we approached we could see that there is a beer garden directly on the river and the carpark is ample for the pub size. I cannot imagine that getting here is difficult by car and it is very picturesque! Interior It's a lovely pub, it's got some nice stuff on the walls and counters to keep your eyes busy. Standard mix match of furniture making each table special and super clean throughout. Toilets were very nice the hand soap smelt lovely haha. Our table was a bit wobbly so had to put a napkin under one of the legs and it was directly next to the window and in the sun, it was incredibly hot, not really something they can help but it did make it slightly uncomfortable Service No complaints with the service, we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table, before drinks orders and mains. The food arrived quickly and the team were able to answer questions about what some of it was mashed celeriac as well as getting this northerner another pot of gravy! The only slight complaint I could have was that getting the bill was quite painful, but they were super busy focusing on getting the roasts out. Food/drink Let's start with a huge issue, the drinks tap was broken so no draught soft drink on a super hot day... such a let down... completely our of their control but it did ruin the experience somewhat. We had the: [ ] Lemon and time half roast chicken - absolutely beautiful, really juicy and a good amount of seasoning on the skin [ ] Pork and sage stuffing - been a whole since I had stuffing, absolutely loved this, a good amount of meat in it [ ] Garlic & thyme roast potatoes - these were massive, almost too big perhaps as they were a little bit crunchy inside. Beautifully crisp on the outside but I prefer a bit of a cloud inside and these were still a little hard. [ ] Roasted carrot and spring greens - pretty standard, the carrot was half a carrot roasted so it had a good sweetness, for me these were staple additions to the plate [ ] Celeriac puree - WHAT IS THIS AND HOW DO I GET MORE? Oh my I remember a friend at uni ate this stuff and it never tasted great however this was the highlight of the plate. Loads of flavour, really smooth and just bloody fantastic, ***googles how to make it at home! [ ] Yorkshire pudding and gravy - I am from Yorkshire so I simply have to rate these, especially when the gravy was 50% chicken fat and the Yorkshire was massive. Top job! Price Toby Carvery - £11.99 Chequers Inn - £15 That's all I am saying here, would you pay 25% more for a meal that is simply 300% better? Overall Google smashed it here, the reccomendation was spot on! Have not enjoyed a roast as much as I did this for quite a while. I just wish the drinks had been working and the sun hadn't been so hot burning my face through the window.
