  “A lively pub with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It was the perfect lunch spot along our bike packing tour, with great food and drinks for refueling.”

  “Went in on a Sunday for the roast and decided to go for the all-meats option – definitely the right choice! The dinner was absolutely lovely, with everything cooked really well and full of flavour. The portion size was generous, and it felt like great value for money too. Couldn’t resist finishing things off with a cheeky dessert, which was just as enjoyable as the main. Overall, a really satisfying meal and a spot I’d happily return to for another Sunday treat.”

  “Wanted to take my parents for a lovely meal and instinctively thought of Boars Head because me and my husband came here on on first wedding anniversary. The food was lovely and the atmosphere was brilliant. I wanted my parents to experience it, especially as it's just down the road from them. Unfortunately, the food was very basic and lacked the flavour and presentation that it had on our anniversary. My Mum's jacket potato was stone cold in the middle, so was replaced (my daughter was offered an ice cream as compensation, but she doesn't like ice-cream, so was offered an ice-lolly unstead). The staff were all wonderful, happy, helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was great, very homely. The food Unfortunately let it down for us. We'll try again as it was very hot that day, so may have just been an 'off day'. Well worth a visit though. The property is super pretty”

  “It was a recommendation from the Travelodge receptionist, so we drove the four minutes (could have walked) and found the Boars Head, in the beautiful village of Aust, that Google calls Australia!😊We wanted an evening meal so we hoped a table would be available. It was and to refresh us while we waited we had fresh orange and lemonade served in pint glasses which helped both meals go down. When the Steak n' Ale Pie and BBQ Hunters Chicken came served on huge platters we realised we were going to have a feast. I reluctantly had to leave a few super chips and Morag had all she could eat. I've had Hunters Chicken many times before, and can honestly say that this one was the best ever, and Morag agreed about the Steak Pie. I think the new management is a young family who occasionally peeked from behind the bar to watch us joyfully filling ourselves. What a find! We're on our way to Cornwall, but we're delighted with our eating experience at the Boar's Head, and can certainly recommend. The only sad thing is we'll have to come all the way from Inverness in Scotland to enjoy this food again. Hopefully the new management will go on to make a huge success of their business venture.🥂🍭👍😊”

  “Really beautiful pub. We had a table of 8 including 2 kids for a wedding dinner. The venue is very beautiful and quaint. The food was absolutely incredible! Despite us struggling to eat everything due to the unexpected heatwave! Hannah and a gentleman (I'm sorry I've forgotten names) provided fabulous service and my two children absolutely adored them. Very much recommend! I'm sure we'll be back very soon!”

  “When I came here for the first time, I didn't expect to experience such a authentic vibe of a real British pub. The staff is very friendly and easy going. Definitely recommend this place. It's definitely in top 10 pubs around Bristol. Will come here more often.”

  “Quite a quirky pub before the bridge. Stopped here for a pint. Lovely garden friendly staff and good grub - opted for thick cut sandwiches and chips - for £9 it is a bargain. Well worth the stop.”

  “First time at this pub and will definitely be going back! The food was awesome and my desert was lush. The staff are all so lovely, friendly and professional at all times. It was a great atmosphere from the moment we walked in to the moment we left.”

  “We’ve (party of two) have just returned from the Boars Head in Aust, we’ve been many a time prior, however I’ve never left a review. We were greeted by Carol-Anne whose customer service was second to none! She made sure we were well looked after, explained all choices on the menu and attended to any dietary requirements.. above and beyond the call of duty! We arrived around 16:20 and Carol-Anne got us in, bless her. Took our order before the kitchen opened at 17:00 and the food was absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef(s) also. The menu is one of the best, especially for myself who is Gluten intolerant (yeah, I’m one of those)! Spoilt for choice.. usually I can find one or maybe two dishes on a menu elsewhere, however at the Boar’s Head, I could eat at least 30! The owner also, a wells dressed gentleman who makes you feel welcome like family.. in fact the whole team are on a par with that one! Last mention, the music. I was in my element.. Smokey Robinson’s ‘Cruisin’, Staple Singers, John Mellencamp, Bob Marley, Gordon Lightfoot.. what’s there not to love!? 10/10, we look forward to returning! Thanks again for a lovely experience.”

  “We came across this beautiful pub completely by chance. We were staying in the Travelodge near by and just looking for something for dinner. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a warm and welcoming Christmasy atmosphere. Nice and cosy and you could still smell the remnants of the fire in the corner. If I lived local, I would definitely have my name on seat next to that fire. We were welcomed in by Hannah, with a big genuine smile and made us feel right at home, straight away. The whole place is set out for Christmas beautifully, nothing tacky or too much, just the right amount to create the desired effect. We were then made even more comfortable by Rachel who took our orders and allowed us plenty of time to look through the menu. They both took time to chat with us, which was really nice. The menu is brilliant, a nice variety of meals to appeal to anyone’s tastes and you can see just how much thought has gone in to this. I had the cider and vegetable soup of the day for a starter which was just incredible, and I even pinched some of my wife’s nice cheesy nachos. For our mains I had the steak and ale pie with mashed potatoes and veg and my wife had the gammon and chips. The pie was homemade and one of the nicest pies I’ve had for a very long time. They know how to make a goood gravy! Delicious! My wife’s gammon was huge and I even managed to pinch a little bit of this too. The quality of food here just highlights what a hidden gem this pub is. You can see the level of care in everything they do and I actually feel like driving all the way to Bristol again, just to have my dinner there. I had a local bitter which, again, was delicious. If you are reading this I definitely recommend a visit. It is beyond great value for money and one of the best pub dining experiences we have had for a long time. Thank you so much to Hannah and Rachel for taking the time to chat with us and for just being fantastic and of course thank you to the amazing chef who knows just how to please a belly and make a hungry northerner very, very happy. We will definitely be back.”
