Bristol Inn in North Somerset

Ok but the beer was in quite poor condition. I don't think I'll be back in a hurry.

Disappointing double birthday experience here. Kept forgetting parts of our orders, drinks or bringing wrong thing. Forgot the birthday girls meal altogether so she got upset (she's only 5)my dad ordered a coffee, waitress went to walk away, I asked what coffee she was getting him. She said he didn't say what he wanted! I'm not a waitress but a polite yes sir, what coffee can I get you is what I'd say..not difficult. He's 82, not in the best of health so a bit of respect would be nice. The owner seems nice, we had a warm welcome. Things just went downhill after he left

Under new management now. Much better atmosphere than with previous people. Very pricey for a small town pub a pint of Heineken £4.60. There is now entertainment. Great if your into Drag shows. Not my cup of tea..

Parking Scam.Down from Manchester visiting family stayed the weekend,choose pub to meet family member for lunch at 1 o'clock arrive early, parked up and waited family member who cancel cancelled only in car park for 15mins, contacted company via email and explain the above you only have 10min window to change your mind is their reply. lost appeal now want 170 pounds because lost appeal, biggest scam, no clear signs, misleading, and have to appeal through via email, which takes time.so your option is to pay or appeal lose and pay more.

Nice staff and atmosphere, however there was no chef so food was not available and some of the drinks options were not in stock either. Probably just temporary issues due to covid though.

Parking scam. Do not visitWent for a drink two weeks ago. We were there 30mins and now have a £60 parking fine. The sign as you enter says “Customer parking 11:00 to midnight”. There is nothing clear to suggest not parking there while using the establishment. There should be clear signage starting their ludicrous system, and there quite simply isn’t. Very deceptive and borderline criminal.Will never visit this place again and will ensure none of my friends and family do. Disgusted.With regards Bristol inn’s response:Firstly, there is no additional signage in the car park. Just the sign stating “customers only” with a time window in alignment with pub opening times, this is deceiving and wouldn’t raise alarm bells. Many pubs have a private land sign stating patrons only, this isn’t dissimilar, and it certainly doesn’t state anything about penalty fees or a parking system. If there is no parking and there are penalty fees it should be clear. (“No parking, penalty fees apply” and certainly no mention of “Customers only and a time window in alignment with pub opening times) The detail should be displayed in the car park, but it isn’t.You mention about the console at the end of the bar. I’ve never noticed this, I simply went to the centre of the bar where the bar staff are, and not once has anything been mentioned to me about the parking system.It would seem this is the same with the dozens of other frustrated customers who have posted reviews regarding this.It’s just not good enough. You are shying away from the fact your customers are being scammed with the screen of it’s not our problem, it’s not our car park. is is your problem and is surely your responsibility to ensure the signage is clear and that your customers are protected.You don’t make every effort to inform costumers. I wasn’t informed and neither were the dozens of other customers who have wrote reviews about this topic. If we were aware we wouldn’t have bloody parked there and thrown away £60.I did try to call yesterday, the call went to answerphone and guess what. The main topic on the recording is about parking fines. (If you are enquiring about a parking fine please contact the parking company directly, we do own the car park etc, etc) This clearly confirms you know there is a problem, and equally highlights your lack of care or compassion with regards rectifying it.I have visited other pubs who operate parking fee systems and impose penalties, and all have been clearly signed regarding this. Yours isn’t.There’s no way I will pay your fine.

BEWARE. My pint and crisps have just cost me £65. Dropped in for a pint while waiting to meet a friend. That was fine. What is not is the £60 parking fine I have had in the post today - meaning that my pint and crisps have cost me £65. Yes, I should have been paying more attention - but you don't expect this in a pub car park. It was a dark and rainy October evening. Signage is rubbish, both inside and out - certainly not obvious to me. And I didn't see the signing in console (assuming there is one). As a new customer wearing a coat and ordering at the bar, the bar staff, who must know of the issue, really should have asked me if I had parked in the car park and signed-in. They didn't. £60 fine. I have no intention of returning.

My friend , a local , suggested going there for Sunday lunch , only to be told they weren't serving food .We had a quiet drink and left , today received parking ticket yet saw no obvious signs and to be honest , probably didn't look as was only going to the pub . Turned out a very expensive drink . Will avoid , so beware

Booked a table inside. Upon arrival was ushered outside, to sit under an umbrella in the pouring rain. Explained to multiple staff that our booking was explicitly for an inside table, and was met with shrugs, and "sorry, we're fully booked"... yes, but you weren't when I booked my table inside!One round of drinks took 35 minutes to arrive.Total shower of a pub.

Stumbled across this little gem en route to Cornwall and what a find it was. A genuine warm greeting with quality freshly cooked home food to match. Great menu with sizeable portions so come Hungry!
