The Ashton in Bristol, City of

Fabulous eve by the fire with great food and service from Jade and all the team 208

Amazing service from Daisy the other day, served us with a smile and helped us out with any queries we had. She is a credit to The Ashton. Meal was also superb, cooked by Holly in the kitchen. Will definitely be coming back!

Such a shame that such a lovely cosy venue fell very short on their food offering. I had a mushroom risotto which was beyond bland. Very disappointing.

Food was absolutely lovely! We also had amazing service from Maisie. Such a sweet girl! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Amazing Service from Harry and Daisy, looked after me as I came alone!! Thanks to the team!! 219

Admittedly we visited this evening because I'd been emailed a voucher, but glad we did. Met by lovely friendly staff and given a choice of table. The venue became very quickly full, so clearly the reputation is good. So...drinks were very nice, deal on cocktails, food really nice, especially the pizza and ambience cracking. Highly recommended. Raffle No: 213.

Had a lovely meal this evening, especially good value as we had a deal on mains. Loved my three cheese and mushroom pizza, so tasty, and enjoyed the cocktails. (Raffle number 213)

Lovely place! I’ve been here countless times and it never fails to deliver. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is exceptional. As a regular, I highly recommend!

On arriving, the car park was full mainly with rugby supporters who checked in number plate then went to match! Disabled parking was unavailable, and there were no more spaces even though a booking was made! The table wasn't ready, after ordering food we waited a long time for the food to come out and when it did it had items missing was stone cold, 2 very small bowls with little veg for 8 people, no one ate the food and they had the nerve to offer a 50% discount!! Shocking!! It felt like we were given the left overs..never again day completely ruined!🤬

Just had lunch here, got served by Harry. The food was amazing, big portions. The service was lovely and attentive! Would recommend this place, and definitely coming again :)

Very friendly atmosphere, beautiful location, and some bloody good food. The chips I got with my steak were absolute perfection and tied the knot on a pub meal to remember. Had some really good chat with one of the bar lass', Rae I think it was, which made the whole experience very welcoming and entertaining! Overall, between Rae and the chips, definitely the highlight of my trip to Bristol!

Amazing service from the whole team, Jack, Rae, Maisie and Daisy are a few who stand out!! Every time I have come here they always over achieve!! Thanks again

Food served cold waiting time to long, and way to expensive for portion size this was supposed to be a Sunday lunch for granddaughters birthday ...will not be returning 😒

Delightful Sunday roast and great service by Maisie! Liking the decor :) 119

For the money I'd say one of the worsts roasts I've ever had and we love to go out and try different Sunday roasts. I had duo of beef which I had to ask if they gave me a single portion because there was so little meat, my partner had a dry bit of pork. The roast comes with pretty much no greens, just a small bowel of kale and leek. You have to pay extra on top of the £22 for greens! Couldn't believe that. Cauliflower cheese was more like just Cauliflower as there was next to no cheese flavour. The taste was OK but with the Greens missing and small portions I'd be happy to pay around £12 not nearly double that. Also, we had to wait 45 mins for dessert and the bill did not come, had to go and pay at the till. On that note the waitress was lovely, couldn't fault her. But no way would I ever return or recommend, sorry.

Today was our first visit to The Ashton and sadly it will be our last until I see better menu options for Vegans. Everywhere you go does a burger option so I was pleasantly surprised to see a banana blossom stew. Sadly though it arrived looking like most of the meal was missing. My daughters child size roast beef towered over it. It was gone in about 6 spoonfulls and I was left wondering how that was £18 worth of food. Its such a shame because the staff, decor and atmosphere were all lovely but I can't justify a portion size like that.

Had the most Amazing meal. Our server Harry was so lovely and accommodating.

Took the grandchildren for a treat after ice-skating. No burgers so went for chiken burgers which were in breadcrumbs and greasy. Our food came out and we had no knives and forks and had to wait whilst they were eventually brought to the table. No atmosphere and cold. The table we were going to sit at near the fire, seating was covered in food so had to sit near the door. Overpriced and not a pleasant experience. Wont be back I'm afraid 😨

Thanks to Harry for such a great service ☺️ the Ashton always has such great food and lovely staff

Looked after so well by Harry . Teally enjoyed the experiance thankyou so much to Harry snd staff

Very good service and food. Harry our server was exceptionally helpful and very friendly. He deserves a raise. Atmosphere was lovely.

We had a lovely evening meal- Harry our server was exceptional and had great knowledge of the menu

We had a large group Christmas meal. I’m pleased to say all the food arrived swiftly and together and as far as I know no mistakes with any of the orders! The steaks were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals and desserts. Staff were attentive when needed, and friendly. We have been coming to The Ashton for our annual Christmas meal for a few years now, and will definitely be booking again for 2025! Thank you for a lovely atmosphere!

We only had drinks but this is a lovely pub and judging by the packed tables the food is good too 😀 Service warm friendly 🤩

Had a booking on Boxing Day and all I can say is that it was the worst experience we have ever had . Our family Christmas meal was totally spoiled by lack of staff , extremely slow service , mediocre food and priority given to football supporters for drinks meaning we waited an hour for a drinks order at the table which is unacceptable . Do not book if you don’t want your Christmas celebration spoilt !

What can I say !!!! Absolutely awful after having such a great meal the previous year why wouldn’t you do it again somewhere local ! From the moment we walked in it didn’t feel like Xmas even tho it was Boxing Day !! No service with a smile , everything seemed to be an effort but couldn’t eat food with no cutlery , drinks orders were over an hour , no atmosphere I appreciate they were short staffed but that did not need to reflect on our experience paying the same money ! Still waiting for response Boxing Day ruined

Boxing daily totally spoilt! Terrible smell, zero staff, zero service, cold food, and hour to get a glass of wine, no cutlery.. the list goes on. We get the staff were stretched, one unfortunately had a bit of an attitude. So far our formal complaint hasn't been responded to other than "we tried our best". Other diners had discounts off their bill! I'd appreciate our complaint reviewed please.

Utter incompetence from the staff. AVOID. The table next to us actually got up and walked out halfway through their meal, which I wish we had the guts to have done. The food was mediocre, but I cannot emphasise how rude and unhelpful MULTIPLE staff were. I am sure they were busy, but to speak to customers the way that they did, not only to our table but others too is just not acceptable when you are paying a significant amount for your meal. We will not be going back again.

Excellent food but it is expensive Great setting and atmosphere.

Great looking place. Food was decent. Staff were friendly and reasonably attentive Definitely worth a visit

Great food, service and atmosphere. Fabulous pub

Granted, we went in for food on boxing day, so we expected it to be busy. The poor waiting staff were very snowed under, they were clearly very very understaffed. Bless the ones who were there, and did their best for us, well done to the team today. Was it because it was the holidays and staff sickness or was it a company decision to not have so many people in on the day, I don't know? Food was very lovely, amongst it all, really made up for the rest of it. Well done to everyone who working there today, it was just a shame the odds were stacked against you

Massive thank you to the young member of staff HARRY, he went above and beyond for us, table full of allergies and he made sure everything was spot on! He deserves a Christmas bonus for sure! Thanks Harry!

Really lovely experience today at The Ashton. Food was delicious, great service from Maisie, really cosy and festive. Wouldn't hesitate to return!

Lovely meal. Maisie was great, and the food was lovely

Very good. We didn't book, but were found a table and had a nice lunch!

Roast dinner Amazing. Very welcoming Dog freindly.

Just visited this pub with two friends for our Christmas catch up. Main course which was belly of pork was lovely but I cannot get over the portion size of the crème brûlée for a staggering £9.25. It was so tiny it’s unbelievable. Then to find out from the menu when checking the price that it should have been served with raspberries which were missing and other components were missing but they couldn’t be bothered to own up to that. Mentioned this to the server who pretty much dismissed it saying she wouldn’t know because she doesn’t eat crème brûlée. Would not return and would not recommend.

Good lunch last week . Thanks for cancelling my parking charge PCN NO: 88889013336

Service was very slow even though the place was empty. Would have been nice to get some Pepsi with our ice. Prices are a bit steep for the surf and turf not sure how two prawns and cold steak justify the £36 price tag. Would have been nice if it came out hot but seems it was sat there on the pass too long.

The staff gave us a warm greeting and offered my toddler some colouring in pages. The festive menu was excellent and good value for money. The ambience was lovely and the staff were polite and helpful.

Excellent service from the bar person Rae the reindeer today ,great to see Christmas cheer being spread by all on this miserable windy day.

Visited the Ashton for breakfast with Santa with two very excited 4 year olds although the weather storm Darragh lead to a lot of cancellations all the staff made the experience magical for the children we all enjoyed a breakfast then the children went to see Santa.Thank you to all the staff who made it such a brilliant morning.

We had a lovely Sunday roast and our server Jack was fab! My partner loved the pork and the veggie option was great :)

I was there today with friends for a Christmas lunch could not fault the service from Ellis he was above and beyond helpful and friendly , and food was nice to! Will be back 😊

Had amazing time at the Aston today staff was really friendly and food was amazing will be definitely coming back

Wonderful lunch today with friends. Harry was our server and is utterly charming. Would definitely recommend to friends and family when in the area

Poor service. Food was OK but overpriced for what We had it took an absolute age to get our food. Booked for 12.30 didn't leave until 3.10 and that was only 2 courses. Didn't get offered dessert or coffee. The restaurant wasn't busy. We had to go on to the bar to get more drinks. I would hate to think how long we would have to wait if it was busy

Came for my husbands birthday, lovely atmosphere friendly staff, great service from Rae who recommended a cider, cant wait to come back.

Absolutley outstanding service from Jack and Charlie, was very refreshing to talk to some students! Awesome food as well! Will most certainly return for the great service alone!

Great food and very friendly helpful staff

Is a nice place, food's amazing, beautiful decorations. The billionaire's chip motivates you to be one 😂💪

We had a roast today. They were very good. The children's roasts were enormous, adult size but half the meat. The service was slow but it was a Sunday. Overall, very good.

Lovely quality gastro-pub food in a cozy smart environment. Despite our large party, the staff did a great job this evening. Harry in particularly really stood out as a service-conscious, knowledgable and friendly host. He made sure to start and end service with a really pleasant professional tone. Good job Harry! PS. Have dropped stars for missing cutlery when desserts arrived (torturous!) and would be even better if the lower bottom room tables were checked on more often as we found it hard to catch attention of team. But all in all a lovely evening!

Jack served us, what a great service and what a great person 10/10 100% will return

Great food and amazing service from Harry.

It was a nice experience all the people there were super friendly and a person named harry was amazing and really polite.

Brilliant Sunday lunch, the pub was packed but the staff were so friendly.

Attended the refurbished Ashton this evening as a family of 4 with 2 young children. We all loved the food and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The food came out quickly and it was lovely to sit in a relaxed atmosphere by the warming fire!

Food portions are quite small but generally this is a nice quiet pub for a group meet up.

Really cosy pub. We came in for a Sunday lunch, had a bottle of wine between me and 2 other friends outside while we waited for our table. The staff are very friendly and welcoming but because I expected a lot of from the roast dinner, I felt quite disappointed. I had the chicken and fig parfait to start which was lovely. I had the trio of roasts for my roast dinner. I was really excited for some pork belly but they gave me the fattiest piece, which I don't mind but a bit more in the oven or cooking on it would be nice. The potatoes were also hard and needed more cooking. I felt like the meal was a bit rushed especially because my friends said the same with their meal. My yorkshire pudding also tasted quite burnt but my friends said their's were fine. Dessert was lovely though...I had the chocolate bomb but I'd say its probably best they do this dessert in a bowl rather than a flat plate as the ice cream melted everywhere and it was hard to scoop it. I would definitely recommend the chocolate bomb as I'm not keen on overly sweet sickly desserts but this was just right!

Lovely decorated pub with a cosy atmosphere. Unfortunately, that’s where it ends. The majority of waitresses and waiters seemed incredibly anxious and quiet. Yes it was busy, however it took an eternity for orders to be taken and food/drink to arrive. The Duo of Beef was just rare fat that wasn’t really edible. About 4 raw roast potato’s, a sprinkle of gravy + oh and the cauliflower cheese had ZERO cheese - it was honestly quite funny. We then waited an eternity for the deserts to arrive - at least these were better. The manager woman serving tables seemed the most competent, at least she was good. Looks can be deceiving - although this pub looked beautiful, the food and service was below average

Great place for food and drinks.

We really enjoyed our evening. Food and service was superb.

Lovely roast ..super rare beef and great vegetables.

We came out to the Ashton for a spot of lunch, we booked in advanced so we swiftly got taken to our seats, the lovely Charlie and Harry were our waiters. They ensured we had everything we needed and provided excellent service. The food was amazing we had 2 seabasses, but one of us had a prawn allergy. Our servers checked with the chefs and managed to make a sea bass meal without prawns so I could still have the meal I wanted. Thanks

Very slow service worst roast I've ever had and very rude waitress can't fault the manger for resolving the issue, roasters we're hollow and filled with oil with a rubber texter parsnip wasn't cooked and hard inside waitress who was rude showed attuided over being asked to warm up the stone cold coli cheese before this she slammed them on the table and walked off in a huff only bouns is the manger was very understanding and refunded us with no problem maybe this was a one off but shan't be rushing back there

Well worth a visit but not cheap but I thought value for money

Nice pub, lovely decor, good Sunday lunch

Lovely food, good stylish decor. And they do a fondue, by the looks of things, which is a rarity in Bristol.

Came to Bristol and stopped at this pub for a quick bite to eat. The food was amazing and steak perfectly cooked. The decor was beautiful and very comfortable. Staff were welcoming and helpful but a huge Thank you to Ellis for great service and amazing food! Totally would recommend

Very good, tasty roast dinner and good value. The pub is in a good location and very nicely decorated with log fires etc. I would imagine it would be nice to sit outside in the summer.

Good food drink and friendly staff

Went there today, blunt response to not having a table. Second time I’ve gone in 2 weeks. Other time we had a good meal but again, front of house was grim. She really needs to understand how to be friendly. Food was good though. Same girl each time, really poor at customer service.

The deco and set up is lovely. Really friendly staff and very dog friendly. We went on a Monday evening and it was quiet. The food came out quickly. Was pleasant food. Normal pub food. Would recommend booking at busier times.

Great place to stop after a flight, just been refurnished and looks all top notch, great food and looks like a great place after a dog walk

Went for a family meal on a Saturday afternoon. Really delicious food in a relaxing atmosphere, and great service from Harrison.

A great offer of a free meal for my birthday. Lovely food and fantastic service from Harry

The Ashton was a really nice restaurant with great quality food and drink. I had the aspals cider and steak pie. Thanks Harry, was a great server. Top notch bloke.

Great meal and very professional and helpful service from Harry.

The food was excellent and the service from Jack and Harry was fantastic definitely a place I’d visit again.

We just enjoyed a lovely meal. We were served by Harry, he was very polite and attentive and looked after us well. The food and drinks were all reasonably priced.

Came in for a quick lunch, had an amazing time. Service was excellent and the food was so tasty. Absolutely loved it will come again! Shout out to Harry and the rest of the staff.

Maisie was great and very helpful with a group of Flamenco people. Thanks Maisie! Xxx

We had a long journey ahead of us home from the airport, and stopped off here for some food and a drink. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice selection of food to choose from, very well presented. The toilets were very clean. Very impressed all round. we hope to visit here again.

We enjoyed our meal, however the service was slow. We were not advised on arrival, that we needed to submit our car details into the screen at the bar otherwise we had to pay for parking. The sign to share this was not at the entrance and suggested and Euro Car Parks charged £100 per vehicle, we had 2 vehicles and so for a sunday roast the final bill was £300. I appealed and the pub were very unwilling to help and I was told that despite them having a record of our booking and proof of card payment to the Ashton Pub, they were unable to help me with the parking fines. A very disappointing experience and whilst the food was nice we will never go there again because of the rude staff and lack of support.

It was our first time at The Ashton tonight, we absolutely loved it. Had a lovely meal and fantastic service from Harry. Will definitely be coming back again. Thanks so much x

Our waiter Harry was just a dream. Kind, helpful and attentive what a lovely young man he is an asset to a wonderful pub. The halloumi fires were exceptional I am truly obsessed!!!

Great food. Had an issue with the order not going through, but the staff were friendly and resolved everything.

The food was going really well till we got to the desserts. The duo of roast beef was delicious and the other roasts were equally tasty. The chocolate creme brulee (£9.50) was the size of a 2p coin and barely contained any substantial amount of dessert. I left a quarter of the dessert stained on the bowl (see photo). Meanwhile, my baby had - for £3.50 - two full scoops of icecream and a chocolate cookie. Such a disappointing end to a good meal. I’d recommend skipping the dessert menu if you visit this restaurant.

It has been a long time since my friend and I last went to The Ashton. We were in for a lovely surprise with the refurbishment being first class luxury! Harry was a breath of fresh air, polite, helpful and the perfect host. The food was great and the dessert was excellent! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Great staff. Lovely surroundings. Free parking a bonus.

Great food and attentive service!!!

A great refurbished pub. The menu was varied and good prices. Food was delicious. Service by Harry was exceptional. All staff were professional and approachable

Good location and the pub has been renovated very nicely. A couple of the staff were clearly trying their best. I can only describe the food as overpriced and diabolical at best. It was a joke! The place was very busy - can’t understand why - and extremely noisey. No chance of us ever coming here again. Such a shame.

Served by Harry. Proper 5* service. First time coming and will be back.

Harry was lovely and provided great service this evening. Food was lovely too. We had all 3 courses. Lamb rump was perfect.

We enjoyed a delicious meal at The Ashton. The surroundings indoor and outdoor are modern, stylishly furnished. The design of the outdoor seating provide privacy. A varied menu and reasonable prices. Nice selection of desserts which included mini dessert with a coffee or cocktail!. Our meal was perfect. I particularly enjoyed my ribeye steak. The staff were personable, professional and efficient. Harry looked after us and nothing was too much trouble.

Booked a table on the Fork, but when we got there they had not received the booking and the kitchen was closed. We were informed that you can only book online on their website.
