  “Well worth the 8mths wait 😄, food was exceptional, we had the brisket and it just melted in our mouths, veggies cooked well and a great seasonal selection. Staff were great, friendly and helpful and the service was brilliant. We are going back later this year and already planning visits next year.”

  “Found this pub by chance and how lucky were we! Sam was so welcoming and efficient. The doggy bag dinner idea was a really lovely surprise, even though our dogs were back home in Switzerland. But saving the best for last: the meal was superb and we enjoyed every mouthful. Whoever the chef, their skill for preparing delicious vegetables is truly amazing - yes the veggies actually were the stars of the roast beef platter - the beef was scrumptious too. I am just so sad l no longer live in the UK and can`t go back for more.”

  “What a spot! Doing Britain proud with a robust plate of food. Bravo 👏 Sunday roast in a humble pub and equally excellent service. Yes it’s sold out for 2026 so if you are lucky enough to have a reservation… keep it!!”

  “A CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub hidden away in a back street. 4 real ales plus a cider. Flat Eric ordered a 4% Bristol Beer Factory Amber. Very good. Boothroyd Bear finds Bristol rosé wine choice poor so had a Cola. A tented village to the front. Mens toilets steeply downstairs.”

  “WOW! We waited 10 months for this table, after getting a reservation on NY Day! It definitely did not disappoint, it was delicious!! I had the rolled belly pork, it was lovely! The service was tiptop, everyone was very helpful, and nothing was too much. This was my first return, and definitely wont be my last, I already have my alarm set for reservations for next year. Thankyou everyone at The Bank Tavern, for a lovely afternoon, with great food and service. 5*s all round.”

  “Booked in for Sunday lunch ( booking is essential, as there fully booked 2025) that says it all, outstanding lunch. Crab taco starter was spot on, the main event was rare topside of beef, brisket bon bon, Mrs B had the Ham hock bon bon all cooked perfectly With Yorkshire pudding, creamed leeks & seasonal veg..the gravy was another level finished off with a beautiful light lemon tart. The service and atmosphere was ideal. We will definitely be going again ... 👏👏👏”

  “Absolutely hands down the best roast we've ever had! We came for the Christmas menu and it did not disappoint! Beef was extremely tender, the black pudding stuffing was incredible. We can't wait to try and come back when the diary opens again! Amazing staff too!”
