  “A gorgeous cafe with loads of space, indoor & out. It made a perfect birthday breakfast! We had the avocado toast & shakshuka. Both delicious and great portions. Would recommend!”

  “Stopped here with the family for a pre-show breakfast. We were lucky and managed to snag an indoor table for 3, but no change of getting a spot on the balcony for breakfast without a booking. Staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. Food and coffee were equally good. Would recommend.”

  “Went back after a 23 year gap and so glad we did, food was just how we remembered it, the menu is small but changes frequently and the quality is very good. The staff are very attentive, smiling and nothing was too much trouble, just doing their job some might say, but I say when you notice that it means they have been very good. Booking recommended if a large party like us and weekends. Dogs were welcome.”

  “We recommend this place - especially if it’s a sunny or nice day. The deck is great with a view of the water, the service is fast and kind, and the food is excellent. They had gluten free options - their regular pancakes are naturally gluten free!”

  “We had our wedding at the Mud Dock in September 2025. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Firstly, throughout the planning they were really responsive and Victoria was brilliant at advising and helping us plan the menu and decorations. They completely handled our set up and it looked stunning. Secondly, we didn't have to think about anything on the day - it just ran to plan! Thirdly, the food was gorgeous and really great with allergies. We were a little worried about it being enough when service started but but by the end everyone was stuffed. Finally, all the staff on the day were so nice and quick on the bar. They were also very gracious when we smashed quite a few glasses... We can't fault any of the day. We had 76 guests for food and another 15 in the evening. This was the perfect sized venue for that many people. If you book the Mud Dock (which you should) I would also recommend our DJ Dom Lawson, who was brilliant and just got himself all set up and sorted, and kept the dancefloor completely full until the end. Plus our incredible photographer, Matt Willis - the photos speak for themselves.”

  “What a wonderful hidden gem! The terrace is perfect for a quick drink and a bite to eat, the staff are lovely and attentive without being invasive, the food was absolutely spectacular! I honestly can't recommend this place enough, thanks to the whole team for looking after me during my afternoon in Bristol! 🧡”

  “After visiting the Bristol Christmas Market (VERY disappointing), we wandered along to Mud Dock Cafe because we wanted to see the harbour/dock area and the cafe is dog friendly. The cafe is in a great location overlooking the river, situated above a bike shop. It certainly has a bike theme running throughout, with bicycle parts making up some of the tables and hanging from the ceiling. The food was okay - my wife enjoyed the hot salmon focaccia but I found the chicken shawarma a bit on the dry and salty side. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was good. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.”

  “We had our wedding day at Mud Dock in July 2025. It was the most amazing day organised by the Mud dock team - from the initial communication and planning meetings to the day itself everything ran smoothly and the team were absolutely incredible. The food was delicious (we had vegan sharing plates) and there was so much of it. Thank you for an amazing wedding day! (Photos by @whencharliemethannah)”

  “Perfect place to enjoy a slow breakfast or brunch, outside on the deck with a view it it's sunny, or otherwise there are loads of seats inside. Great choice of food including veggie and vegan options plus a few more unusual options like loaded focaccia. Staff were great and car park next door.”
