  “Stopped in here on my way to the airport rather than pay ridiculous prices at Bristol airport. Warm summers morning, plenty of tables free inside and outside. Sat outside and ordered on the app. Drink was brought out after a couple of minutes, and food just a couple of minutes after that. Pretty much exactly the same as any other spoons.....but for the price, really good value for money. Staff were also friendly and attentive which was a bonus.”

  “It's a Spoons, so you already know the drill. Cheap food, cheap drinks, and a clientele that can make you question what day of the week it is. The Templar does have one major advantage over many other Spoons: it's right next to the railway station and even has a screen showing live train departures. You can sit down for a Large Breakfast, keep one eye on your sausage and the other on your platform number, and still make your train without any panic. The staff are genuinely lovely, from management to the cleaners. They're friendly, hardworking, and somehow remain cheerful regardless of what chaos unfolds around them. Weekend mornings are the best time to visit. It's relatively peaceful, the breakfast is spot on, and the atmosphere is uniquely Wetherspoons. While you're enjoying your tea and toast, you'll likely spot the dedicated doors opening hard-core alcoholics already several hours into what appears to be a very ambitious day. It's less a breakfast venue and more a live documentary on British society. Some of the finest people-watching this side of the railway tracks.”

  ““The Knights Templar” Walking into The Knights Templar feels like stepping into a retired financial hall that’s been repurposed for maximum pint efficiency. No medieval fantasy, no church cosplay—just a big, solid space that now runs on lager instead of ledgers 🍺 🏛️ The Setting This is where it quietly flexes: Huge open-plan hall Tall ceilings with proper breathing room Classic, slightly formal architecture (columns, symmetry, order) It’s got that “serious building, unserious purpose” energy. You can tell it used to mean business—now it’s just here to serve drinks at scale. 🍔 Food & Drink Let’s not overcomplicate it: Cheap ✔️ Fast ✔️ Consistent ✔️ You already know what you’re getting—and that’s the whole point. It’s reliable fuel, not fine dining. 👥 The Crowd Standard Wetherspoons ecosystem: Office workers powering down Tourists clocking the size of the place Regulars locked into their usual spot like it’s reserved by law It’s busy, but not chaotic—more like a well-run system. ⚙️ Operations App ordering keeps things moving. Food lands quick. Drinks rotate efficiently. It’s basically a high-volume, low-friction machine. ⚖️ Final Verdict No gimmicks. No pretending to be something it’s not. Just a big, dependable pub in a building with history. ⭐ 4.3 / 5 — “Built for business. Now built for pints.””

  “Popped in for breakfast with Flat Eric and Boothroyd. Not as easy to find from Temple Meads, especially if you do not leave by the small east exit. A very modern Spoons with front courtyard seating. Toilets upstairs. Up to 9 real ales.”

  “£12 not as good value as expected. We were a few minutes late for the breakfast menu but that's a hard and fast rule so had to pay more for less.”

  “I’ve had an amazing experience at this Weatherspoon tonight. I came for dinner by myself, and somehow my order got mixed up and got the wrong food delivered. It certainly wasn’t too bothersome for the waiter and the manager, who realised actually over paid for what I ordered. Seems like the cashier misunderstood. They dealt with it really nicely, they brought the right food and they offered the difference back. I really can’t fault it and well done to everyone who served me tonight. Thank you very much”

  “Very quiet compared to Wetherspoons in Inverness, actually had empty tables! Conveniently located next to Temple Meads station. Great if you want something cheap and cheerful to fill you up, plenty of choice.”

  “This is a very handy place to stop off at if you are arriving into or leaving Bristol from temple meads as it is only a short walk away. The outside seating is very nice in good weather and there is also plenty of space inside. The coffee refills are very much appreciated. Food is very well priced and also reasonable quality. It is basic and filling. Serves the purpose. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Just remember to get a table number before ordering 😀”
