  “Food, vibe and staff were great although double check the bill, we were charged for an adult meal instead of a child's and when we left realised we paid for a pint of guiness not a zero, they were busy so not an issue, will certainly go back again and can see why they have so many great reviews.”

  “We used to really like coming to this place a couple of years ago but I think maybe their administration changed or something because the menu and the quality isn’t as great now. The food is fine, I like the chicken ciabatta. But I have to say, I’ve been there twice in a couple of weeks and there’s this girl behind the counter with the most awful attitude that I’ve seen (both times I’ve been there in these two weeks) it really does not feel like she should be customer facing.”

  “Somerset House has become a firm favourite public house for its exceptional quality in food offerings, service and atmosphere. Always a great time and fantastic location enjoying the benefits of the once road now pedestrianised and plentiful seating outside as well as inside. Reasonable costs, and for a Sunday slow cooked topside of Roast Beef special, dont miss out, comes with extra gravey and side included as standard and all gluten free.”

  “Had a roast here today. Everything tasted great! Was even better to have everything on the same plate and not as an accompaniment to share with others. Beef was cooked well, roast potatoes were great and the atmosphere of the bar was good and the staff were great. Would definitely go here again!”

  “After trying a few places for a walk-in roast at 3pm on a Sunday we were losing hope BUT we stumbled across Somerset house and wow we were so glad we did. The best roast I’ve had in a long time. Chicken and pork were both great, loads of veg, piping hot, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pud. All really nicely cooked and all of the staff were so friendly. Only complaint was it was very cold in there on a cold day!”

  “Had an absolutely wonderful evening here, we dropped in on the off chance of getting a table for 5, as we had just arrived for the weekend and hadn't booked anything and were taken care of, it was a Thursday in November, which would help I suppose...🤔😁 Anyway, the small plates were amazing, cold beef, "burnt" goats cheese and BBQ chicken strips, followed by seafood tagliatelle for me, washed down with a good beer and nice wine, awesome. Great food, superb service, and a lovely time. Thanks for your fantastic hospitality.”

  “We walked in on a Sunday afternoon (18th of February ) not expecting a table as it was packed and buzzing. Luckily the very attentive staff managed to find the 3 of us a seat by the window. We ordered our food, me being a bit fuzzy as I do not like sparkling water and questioned a bottle of what we thought was gin but it was the bottle containing the water. The staff remained friendly and patient. The food had really good sizes and well worth waiting for. We will definitely come back again and a big cheer to our waitress who came checking to see if everything was ok.”

  “Booked a family lunch. Had this on my try list thanks to gluten free Facebook group. Roasts did not disappoint but desserts could have been more varied as I craved a warm gluten free pud. Pavlova was nice though. Unfortunately venue was very cold so tainted the experience. I may venture back in the summer. Its also not disability friendly so be warned as toilets were upstairs.”

  “So, here we are , a quick 1 night break in super Bristol....which we love! Having "retail therapied " and strolled along the banks of the river we have climbed up the steep hill to our favourite spot.....Clifton. And lo and behold we have stumbled upon the Somerset House....our first visit. Perfect evening and with seating outside we chilled out and had some Desperado's !! Such a shame they had no decent real ale beers....just Proper Job and Gem. Nice music, lovely staff and they do food but we did not partake. It's so good that pub's are allowed to encroach on the road and make it very civilised and friendly indeed !!”
