Popped in after visiting Aerospace Bristol museum. Great menu, good food and friendly service. Car park too. Highly recommended

Nice pub atmosphere, food was good, well priced but run of the mill pub menu. Portions were on the smaller side but still good quality.

Can't go wrong with this pub! Staff are absolutely lovely and so friendly. Couldn't have been treated any better. The Christmas lunch was absolutely amazing and massive for the price of it. More than enough on the plate and the general manager and kitchen manager were nothing but kind to me. Made my Christmas day.

Came for a family meal before Christmas, 6 Adults, 2 children! All the staff are great and friendly, quick services good food.

Courtney was absolutely fantastic and friendly.

"Quantity has a quality all of its own"

Courtney was absolutely amazing, so friendly and welcoming. We had a good banter and I believe Courtney went above and beyond.

Ordered food two burger meals. One meal arrived and asked where the other meal was informed that when meals are ordered online we would have to wait. Both meals cold ,burgers chewy . Won’t be going back

amazing food, great atmosphere and vibes, great staff. felt very welcome and had a lovely night for a friends birthday! great visit as always

Well, so we went today for the "all day" Sunday Roast at 3.30. No Beef, No Turkey, only choice was beef rib. I asked why, the less than interested barmaid said "we've sold it all" Ordered two roasts with the beef rib. After several requests about where our food was, and 50 minutes later it finally turned up. Veg tepid, to little gravy, meat poor quality etc it goes on and on I would rate it as rubbish. So for Sunday lunch AVOID, there a plenty of other places more interested in your custom that these disinterested people in this pub.

Needed somewhere quick to stop for Sunday lunch before an appointment at 2:30pm, drove past and saw the car park mostly empty at 1pm so went in and ordered 2 Sunday roast beef meals; weren’t expecting much for the price of £8.99 each but really wish we’d been told in advance of the “40 minute wait for food” - which we were only told about after checking with the waitress having waited 30mins with no sign of food; checking again after 40mins we were assured our order was due out next. Some 55 mins after ordering our meals arrived, giving us 20mins to eat them before needing to leave for our appointment. The meals were disappointing; barely warm and all food clearly of the mass-produced frozen variety, served with thick, very salty gravy. The beef was so dry and tasteless, the frozen veg undercooked, the stuffing ball overcooked and hard; we took a few mouthfuls and packed the rest up to feed to our dogs later. Had we not been pressed for time we would have asked for the meals to be replaced, but can’t say we had much hope they’d be any better. By the time we left more people had arrived; goodness knows how long their wait would have been.

Amazingly good place to eat and the staff are all welcoming and friendly and helpful,recommend to anyone to eat and drink here

Amazing morning for Breakfast with Santa! Lovely atmosphere and lovely breakfast.

Again another great pub. Foods nice staff are friendly. Give it go guys.

Had a wonderful christmas festive meal with good friends. Food was delicious & service excellent. Many thanks to all the staff.

Service is slow. But it's a nice enough pub restaurant.

Just a great place to relax with great food 😋

We've been to the Air Balloon several times now and always enjoy it. The burgers and chips are delicious, and the beef steak is cooked to perfection. We've also tried the red wine, which was a good choice to accompany our meal. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the staff are always helpful. Highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a good meal and a pint of beer 🍻.

Thanks for the good night BYEEEE DRIVERRRR

Night view of air balloon bus station

I've eaten here 3 times. Every meal was good.

Great pub. Great location. Really friendly staff. I didn't eat. Bit it did seem popular Edit ... have now returned and eaten... I had the bacon cheese burger.. severd with fries. Well presented quick service. Cost under £10. Will be back.

Amazing food, great value for money. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Great place for food.

Excellent lunch great staff always a smile and nothing beats flame grilled another great lunch and good staff to help your experience even better burgers now and top chef on the flame grilled still as good as everyes still the same friendly and polite staff still great can't post pictures so had great event

Popped in for a quick bite to eat before an appointment. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was very tasty. Pretty standard GB pub grub menu. Relaxed and safe atmosphere where I felt comfortable dining alone.

Amazing Food 5* and the service was really friendly, the staff making our toddler laugh every time they walked past and stopped to chat with her even though she was just yabbering. Will definitely be dining here again

Had lunch after a shopping trip

Went along today for Sunday lunch other options are available. It was very busy so advisable to book. My husband had the a roast beef and I chose the ribeye slow roasted beef very nice and plenty of veg. Thought it come with gravy boat on the side but I had to ask and took a few minutes. Both meals were delicious. Would definitely eat here again very handy for premier Inn.

Ne’er have I laid eyes upon a sorrier knave than the wretch who dared to wait upon us, shuffling forth with the pallor of death itself. With hollow gaze and witless tongue, he did mutter, “Doth any here desire turkey?”—this, four times o’er, despite our protestations. Like a spirit damned, he plagued our table with naught but error and oblivion, each step a tragic affront to service. Flee this dismal den, lest ye too suffer such zombified folly!

Food was lovely, we came with a couple of extras, that we hadn't booked for and Courtney was very helpful. We were not rushed to leave our table either, arrived at 2pm left at around 6.30

For food menu, it's great value for money. A place where local people come to eat after work or "dinner in family" like. A bit hard to order, as staff is mostly on pub side, but you can use Green King app to order for your table. Give it a try!

Only my second visit. The food was quite expensive for a pub-chain. Steak had a lot of gristle. The chips were very nice. But a small portion. I may attempt to go again, but not sure. It was deafening the whole time.

Good place, reasonable prices. But the food was blunt.

Nice pub in a good location accessible by the main road with plenty of free parking spaces. The pub itself is spacious and has modestly comfy decor. Front of house was welcoming and polite. The menu is extensive and caters for a wide range of appetites and food choices. They also have lots of food offers throughout the week and an extensive selection of drinks at the bar. However, sadly, the value for money of the food is below par, to say the least. Apart from having to wait a long time for it, when you do eventually get it it's not only half cooked but half warm. The underwhelm of this would really put me off returning or recommending this place for a meal. Not only that but the only swift part of the service is as soon as you put your fork down a server will ask if you have finished yet and take your plate away. Which I found a bit odd. Coupling that with the cleanliness of the facilities, which would only really need a good scrub down this place falls short on two of the most basic aspects of a modern pub. Which is a shame as this place seems to have a lot of potential.

Always nice food a d friendly staff

Just had the most beautiful tasting rib eye steak. Definitely retuning here. Staff are are so friendly and the service is second to none

The food was amazing, loved the starter but little disappointed with the sunday roast. Desserts are spot on.

Ok. Bar area ok, bathrooms disgusting. Food ok but that's as far as it's go. Looked fun for crisps and a pint.

Very friendly staff, funny and helpful, food great value, especially the weekly 2 meal deals. Very popular, advise booking for larger groups.

Excellent location, food very good, and reasonable price, especially the 2 meal deal. Staff are extremely friendly and funny. Only criticism is, as it’s very popular some wines can run out of stock quickly, but have several other alternatives.

Fantastic pub, food always tastes amazing, comes out nice and hot, I can not fault the steaks always cooked exactly how I like it medium rare and never over cooked, would 100 % definitely recommend, great friendly pub with very helpful staff been many times and definitely will continue to come

The pub itself is lovely along with friendly staff however management are pretty unapproachable and standoffish. App times are quite slow and food arrives before drinks. we finished our food before drinks arrived. It's a shame as me and my partner come back time and time again with the hope it'll be better as it's our local pub, but we feel uncomfortable whenever we're in.

A bit of a mixed bag of feelings towards this place really. The food was really good, the service and the staff were lovely and the value for money was great but it felt really filthy. Everything felt grimey and sticky. The high chairs were grim, the tables and menus were a bit on the sticky side, disabled toilet - grim, and the wood work and wallpaper were sticky and worn out. Carpet - grim! It’s my local pub and the value for money and food was good but the grubbiness would put me off coming back

Lovely food. Fantastic service. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Helping me in any way they could as I have disabilities.

Good cheap burger deal You get what you pay for

Love coming here for drinks with my mates - great atmosphere even had a pool table and darts - great service and really enjoyed the food I have had here before

Great service and atmosphere - will definitely be coming back for food and drink again

Went for a late Sunday lunch. Food was nice, juicy burger but the toilets were very unpleasant. Seats hanging off and not clean.

Got there and the table was covered in dirt and grease which we only realised after placing the order, then had to wait 45 minutes until I decided to go to the till and had to ask where our food was after everyone around us had been sent their food and then left after finishing it, the server said it would be another 20-25 minutes, as they’re ‘busy’ looked around and there was one table in that section that was occupied. There was no sincerity from the server that we would have to wait over an hour for food, then went back to get a refund, was told it would now only be a 15 minute wait by another person, still wanted our refund and they tried not refunding us the whole order!! There was no care or sincerity about anything and the service was appalling, can’t even comment on the food as even though we were there for over 45 minutes, the only food we saw was everyone around us eating. Even the manager was sat eating whilst we were talking to her. Absolutely horrible service

The rump steak special was delicious. Really good value. Served on sizzling plate. Quick service (10 minutes)

Food was lovely and the staff were really friendly. Not from the local area but would happily come back if ever visiting Bristol again.

Terrible experience, and I’m sure not typical, probably just everything went wrong on the night. Me, my wife and 2 children. Ordered and paid on App. An hour passed, no food, asked how long, told ‘soon’ we’re busy etc. Place was at about 50% capacity! After about 70, kids food comes out, by then, both kids had fallen asleep and barely eat a bite as they couldn’t stay awake. Wife's food comes out 10 mins later, which she struggled to eat with two kids trying to sleep on her. My food, XL Mixed Grill with hunter top (extra charge) and Peppercorn Sauce (extra charge) shows up after almost 90 mins. Wife and kids are fried and ready to leave. My food: Small mixed grill, not XL, and none of the extras which amounted to almost £10 Made a low key complaint to shift manager and was told we’d be refunded (Via App, as that’s how we paid) Never got any form of refund. The food was ok tho, just the experience of the night meant the whole evening was a total loss. Would not return on principle. Had they honoured the refund, I could forgive and forget. But unfortunately this was not the case.

A good general standard. Clean and well presented. I had slow cooked beef rib which was good. My only quibble would be the use of frozen chips. I realise it takes longer to prepare and fry a real potato but the meal would have gained another star with fresh Home cooked chips. As it was, its standard pub fare. Not over priced but nothing to push it to the front of the crowd of other eateries in the area. Staff were pleasant and helpful. And the cutlery was clean (not to be taken for granted anywhere, unfortunately) Good for a quick local lunch, but don't expect anything out side of the ordinary.

Nice pub, friendly staff with good sport.

Stopped by on way to Devon. Great food & Service. Our Eleven year old son wants to come back on the way home Monday 😂👍🏼

Very nice range of food and very tasty comes out fast even on buisy days

Worst pub in Bristol. Longest waiting for an order ever. Only 1 person behind the bar on a busy Friday night and saterday. Don't come unless you like a 45 minute wait for a pint. Staff are miserable. Management always sat on their arse not helping. Food is under cooked and raw on a regular basis. After 11 years of drinking there I will not take 1 foot back in that place. BEWARE

The staff was very friendly and the food great.

Absolutely amazing value. Had lunch with my 2 teenage boys, we ordered the Flamin BBQ meat shearer and the ultimate feast, with jacket and salad sides the food was excellent and we even had takeaway bags for our left overs. Just to make room for the sticky toffee pudding cheese cake. Thankyou guys for an amazing afternoon with good food I will be definitely be recommending this place. Well done.

Always great! Amazing customer service and such friendly and efficient staff! Always happy to help! Hayley is super smiley and never seems unhappy even under the pressure of busy times!

Great atmosphere and fantastic facilities for food and showing the football - massive beer garden screen gets very busy but viewing angles are sound no matter where you are

Great spot for a few drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating for these great summer days. Always have great service from the staff, they like to have a laugh, always cheery.

Good friendly place to come on a Friday night. Staff very helpful especially Lisa Courtney and hayley.

Good pub however slow service, sometimes 20-25 minutes to get a drink however it was really busy so I get it. Would have liked a snappier service however. Food was fabulous and would still recommend this place to others.

10/10 service and great atmosphere

It's still cheaper than KFC and better value.

Have been coming to this pub for years for family events and it has never disappointed. The atmosphere is amazing, staff are lovely and friendly and the food is always very nice. Will continue to come back for any occasion.

A warm welcome and friendly bar staff. Got served fairly quickly and a decent price. Highly recommend.

Straight forward pub. Went here because I'm an AA member and received a discount. We were hungry and the place was convenient.

Can't say enough how great it was here. The staff were so great shout out to Jordan. 10/10. I recommend everyone to try this place. Great food great selection of drinks and great staff..

Sat outside on a lovely summer day, bit noisy with traffic but staff were really lovely and helpful.

Best pub for food and football- never have a bad experience!!

Decent price and great service.

This is actually a normal pub and not an actual air balloon. Nice pub tho

If you love watching sport on TV, live music or just a good place for a meal with family and friends, this place is ideal. Good food at an affordable price for most pockets. Large variety of beverages in stock. Large dining room, seating area and outdoor (covered) seating. Friendly staff who try to make your visit a good one

Great service , friendly bar staff

Great place for family gatherings and drinks

Ordered on the app, drinks were brought over immediately. Ordered nachos as a starter, lots of them and lots of sauce etc on them. All day breakfast was lovely and all cooked good, food very hot. Mushroom, cheese and garlic bake, more like a pie with no lid but very tasty and nice and hot, friendly staff

The staff were absolutely amazing and helpful, the food was lovely!

Would definitely come back food was great and came out in a timely manner , bar staff were very friendly, helpful and nice

10/10 would Air balloon again mad scampi to extend this glorious review how about we take time to talk about our lord and saviour Gareth Southgate

Great value and varied menu excellent selection of beers and lagers Recommend! I will definitely return when in the area.

i loved how friendly and helpful the staff were. Food was amazing and overall a really nice place to be in. I can’t wait to come back soon!

Friendly local pub, always a warm welcome, yes there are queues from time to time but that just goes to show how popular it is. Keep up the good work guys

Honestly shocked how rude one of the staff were. A very young girl who we asked a question to, looked at us with a don’t care face and didn’t help us at all. I have teenage daughters and they don’t even act like the rude belligerent girl did. I also work in hospitality and catering so know exactly how you should treat a customer and that wasn’t it. We promptly left thought we would spend our money somewhere that actually acts like they want customers.A smile wouldn’t go a miss either !

Watched the England game here last week and rather impressed by how the staff managed the volume of customers for serving beer and food with such a high demand. Well done to the staff for keeping up but please make sure that there is hand soap in the men’s toilets….. Bogof on burgers 🍔 Thursdays The piling crew

Had a mixed grill and chicken and ribs. A lot of meat for the money on both meals good value and very helpful and friendly service from all the staff.

I had gammon steak, which was lovely.

Same as any other pub nothing special.

Recommend the fully loaded nachos if you fancy a snack

Have been here very often, always have a pleasant visit. Food very good value for money and staff are always friendly and go to all efforts to find you a table even when they are busy. Only downfall is the availability of the menu (doesn't normally effect me though as tend to stick to the same dish)

This pub has it all! The food was excellent and was very reasonably priced, the service quick and efficient, several big screen TV's, pool table and dart board. This pub also has a large raised seating area outside.

Sunday food was horrible, peas, carrot and beans tasted horrible and looked grim, roast potatoe burned and sad looking, lumpy gravy. And 2 slim peices of processed Turkey.

Great food & full menu. Very friendly & helpful staff. Would highly recommend & will visit again.

Thought we would try a Sunday roast for a change as we've enjoyed everything else on the menu no complaints there! We were both very disappointed with the roast beef we bought earlier today the veg under cooked the roast potatoes was burnt all obviously from frozen the stuffing was like cardboard and the gravy you could of sliced it it was that thick... The beef was cooked nice the portion on the plate wasn't very big and not value for money ... the staff are always polite and friendly... We will just stick to the mix grill in future as that's absolutely perfect 🥰

Every item we chose was off the menu - meat platter ribeye Drink was wrong Seemed to be ignored by bar staff but eventually served by polite bar maid Food was good hot and quick. Steak was good we just ordered too much

Visited for family birthday, had tables reserved. Good tasty food, good size portions, too much for a dessert. Friendly atmosphere.

I've been here several times since it was taken over by Greene King. It has improved massively. The food is lovely and service is quick. Even had a birthday party here with 30+ guests and they accommodated us well, including bringing out the birthday cake and lighting the candles. Great atmosphere!
