About The Ashville Steakhouse
On Leigh St in Bristol, The Ashville Steakhouse serves classic cuts alongside a Woodyboard sharing platter that brings steaks, salad, chips and sauces to the table together. Steaks are cooked to order, including rare requests, finished with a char, and onion rings appear as a regular side. A roast offers a choice of beef, pork or lamb, accompanied by cauliflower cheese and pigs in a blanket, while the rack of lamb comes with dauphinoise potatoes. Sticky toffee pudding and biscoff cheesecake round out the dessert menu. The space is cottage-style, with a full bar pouring beer on tap. Reservations are required. Tips at the table are cash only.

Customer Review Summary
Steak cooked to perfection comes up again and again, from a rare fillet with a charred finish to a t-bone praised for its doneness. Close behind, the burger built from a brisket, rump and rib eye blend earns a mention as one of Bristol's best, and the mixed roast with beef, pork and lamb draws repeat praise, especially paired with cauliflower cheese and pigs in a blanket. Onion rings come up often as a highlight, and sides like sweet potato fries, dauphinoise potatoes and the biscoff cheesecake also get singled out. The Woodyboard sharing platter is called great value. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, though one visit ran a half hour past the reservation time due to a large party ahead, and another diner notes the restaurant was cash-tips only with no card tipping option. One Valentine's Day visitor found the food excellent but felt the setting lacked romantic touches like candles or flowers.

“We had a fantastic meal here recently. The quality of the food was impressive and every bite tasted fresh and well-prepared. The steak was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful charred finish. I particularly enjoyed the rich, creamy mushroom topping and the sweet potato fries served on the side. Everything arrived at the table looking beautiful. We will definitely be back soon.”

“Highly recommend The Ashville. We ordered the Woodyboard, which at £60 for 4 steaks, a salad, chips and 3 sauces is great value. Definitely worth adding on onion rings too as they're really fresh and delicious”
