Pizza Express

Pizza • Pasta • Vegan • Italian

"So disappointing. We love PE pizzas but this was not a good experience. Internet drove me crazy once again and I couldn’t access their app and rewards offered which was one of reasons worth going there for. Ended up paying for things that would normally have been free. Standing outside in the rain for access was not fun! Mixed salad didn’t appear so I cancelled it. Not much cheese on the pizzas and partner said his was one of the worst ones he’d had. It was removed from the bill. Mine was quite dry and over baked. Coffee machine not working, never has been when we’ve been there! Wouldn’t go there on early Friday evening again, too busy… unfortunately probably never again. Staff helpful and kind but distracted as busy."

Carluccio's Cribbs

➤ United Kingdom, BS34 5DG, South Gloucestershire

Wine • Pasta • Italian • Breakfast

"Carluccio’s excellent legacy is being sorely undermined by this slapdash branch in Cribbs Causeway. We arrived at around 11.30am last Saturday morning and waited in a cue which several people eventually left) whilst the well meaning waitresses cleaned and reset the empty tables making sure that the didn’t make eye contact with anyone waiting in the cue to be served. Then the extremely unhelpful manager eventually came over after putting the palm of his hand up to the waiting cue in a “ do not enter “ gesture and said get this) “ Yes ?” to which I replied “ A table for two please “ “For what , because we’ve finished breakfast and we don’t start lunch until 12” he replied. As it was now 11.45 I said “ how about we come in for a couple of flat whites and when 12 o’clock comes around we will order some lunch.” He said nothing and showed us to a table. The lunch was pathetic, a couple of bruschettas with a tiny scattering of lettuce and one tomato cut in half. I had to ask for olive oil. On the up side the waiting staff, who spent most of their time all gathered around a serving station, were charming… all of them were really nice , however this once favourite eating spot was let down by surly management and very average food."

"We had a group booking for our drama group 19 people....unfortunately 3 had to drop out due to illness but a call to The Huntsman sorted it all out and the 3 were cancelled with no fuss. Our table was ready with crackers and little wooden 'scatters ' (not the usual shiny plastic! . Starters, mains and desserts all arrived quickly and hot food was really hot nothing 'luke warm '. All meals were enjoyed and I heard no complaints about quality or quantity. (We had the festive menu which is not listed in the food to recommend in this review! Staff were all friendly, pub looked festive and we all had a great evening. Many thanks! Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Treacle Sticky Toffee Pudding"

"Went along to the Lawns today for a carvery after seeing some of their posts on their Facebook page of the carvery. From what it looked like, this carvery was going to be amazing. Unfortunately that’s where it all went down hill. It looks as though they use the same video for each week so it’s nothing like what you expect it to be. When we turned up, weren’t greeted by anyone. We found ourselves a table just beside the carvery and then went to the bar to order. For a large carvery, a regular carvery and 2 drinks this came to over £30 which is a little pricey to begin with seeing as we only order half a pint of Pepsi and a J20. The gravy station was empty. All of the side sauces like your mint and your horse radish sauce were all empty. Nothing was stocked or fall up. We at first first thought maybe it had been really busy and they were just stocking up again. But we arrived at 5pm and there wasn’t a lot of people there at the time. From afar, the carvery looked nothing like what it did on their Facebook page. When we went up to the carvery station the chef wasn’t overly polite. I looked at the gammon and asked the chef if there was anymore there, to which he advised “there’s loads there mate” after lifting up a layer of gammon covered in pure fat. He said that he kept the fat on top of it as it helps the gammon from not going dry, this sadly wasn’t doing a single thing to the gammon as it felt like I was eating a tire which had been smothered in salt. Sadly the beef wasn’t much better it was tougher than a Southmeader after a few cans of Natch. The vegetable selection was dire. Frozen broccoli and cauliflower bunged together in a bowl, topped with cheese and popped in a microwave does not s cauliflower cheese make. This was hard to try and scoop out of the serving dish without burning yourself on the light above the carvery station, at one point I thought I was partaking in an episode of the Crystal Maze. Dry mash potato and swede, a handful of peas and chunky raw carrots. To top it all off as a disappointing visit there were zero roast potatoes. Which for a carvery is pretty poor, that’s a staple of the roast dinner. I asked the lady behind the counter how long they would be and she said they would still cooking and that they would be about 5 minutes and that she would bring some over to my table when they were ready. This never happened. By the time that they were finally ready and back on the counter I had finished my food and my partners had gone cold waiting for them. When looking at the roast potatoes you could tell these were frozen roast potatoes that had just been tossed into the oven. It’s sad really as the Lawns always used to do an amazing carvery back in the day where the food was constantly topped up and hot. Not anymore. Don’t think we will come again."

The Fox Den

"The majority of our food was ok, we were disappointed that there were no steaks available, .but did understand why. Our waitress was pleasant, however, when we ordered dessert I don't think that the chef got the order because we waited over 30 mins before I enquired about it (there weren't many people dinning at this point and they had started to clear up) when they brought out our desserts my crumble and custard was cold and I complained and was told it would only take a few mins to heat up, I refused as I dont like the fact that I was going to be paying for a reheated dessert. While we were waiting for our bill, we could hear our waitress getting a verbal battering by who I presume was the manager, I don't think it was very professional of him to swear at her several times and especially in front of customers either. They were standing a matter of feet away from us. We were glad to get out of there, Its a shame as it was a celebration meal as it was our 25th Wedding anniversary."

"Went here this evening for my daughters 8th birthday meal out with my family which consisted of 4 adults, 2 children and 2 babies, one of which cried continously for the final hour! The children were quite noisy and made a fair mess of our table (which we did our best to clean before we left). However I cannot fault the staff here this evening at all, we were quite a noisy table with the children but the staff were great with them! There were two particular members of staff that went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after, I think one was a general manager (I didn't catch his name) and the other was called Luke whose people skills and attentiveness was impeccable! We had a little wait for food as we went at peak time and was informed that they're may be a 30 minute or so wait and Luke brought out a complimentary bowl of chips to keep the children from whinging! His manner and service was 2nd to none! I've been here many times as I live local and enjoy the food as its always tasty and value for money but I don't think I've ever been served by Luke before, I shall definitely remember him and look for him in future! Thanks for such a pleasant experience and making my daughters birthday meal a lovely occasion! xxx"

"Unfortunately it's a bad review. I booked a table for five 2 weeks prior (table booked for Sunday 5th November 4pm), unfortunately on arrival we were told that the kitchen was slightly behind and our table wasn't ready for us. No big problem, lucky the two people sat on our table were very pleasant and moved so we could have our table (thank you). We sat down looked at the menu, then went to order on the app. The app was telling us that there wasn't any roast dinners left, or burgers. We asked member of staff and they said that this was correct. It would have been nice to have been told when we turned up that they had ran out of the main thing we'd gone there for, rather than moving two people to another table, seating us, then us getting up and walking out 5 minutes later. Overall pretty poor. The staff were polite and I understand it's not their fault and these things happen but surely management must foresee Sundays being busy for roast dinners?"

"The carvery well we're should I start. On arrival we went up to look at the food it was all dried out carrots were going black in places bubble n squeak was hard as rock cabbage was crisp n burnt the peas were brown mash was also dried out we had to Tel the chef to change it all which she did not like the supervisor also told her to change it which she started to do so we paid for the carvery then went up to get it she started to serve us then we realised the meet was all dried up to do. Said wed v the cut after the first. Wow she started being very rude so we said we would get are money back so went to til got refund and was told Amy is always like this towards customers. On leaving the premises we were. Follow out by supervisor and she apologised. Profusely to us but it was to late for that. I'm absolutely disgusted with this place even the carpets were filthy which I noticed on the way out food hygiene. Needs to be assessed at this place so I am not going to give it any stars as it's awful I would even let my dog eat there after witnessing this good luck to you if you do decide to eat here and make sure you got plenty of andrex tissue paper that's all I can say"

"I typically don't write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this restaurant. The food was fantastic, and the vegan cheese actually tasted like real cheese! Even my non-vegan friends preferred the vegan pizza over the other options. The service was exceptional, particularly thanks to our server Mia Saunders. She made sure we had everything we needed and assisted us with ordering since the online menu was a bit tricky to navigate. Mia was attentive and very kind, checking in on us frequently. I would definitely return to this restaurant again without hesitation."

"My sister and I called into this lovely looking pub/restaurant on the way to visit our mum. Beautiful day very warm. It was really hot in the restaurant no fans or air con). I ordered a spinach feta and butternut squash gluten free tart with a green salad and boiled potatoes. The gf tart was very over cooked to the extent that the pastry was shattering instead of cutting cleanly. The filling was virtually black , the feta , unfindable and the squash formed wet patches in the extremely hot tart. The potatoes were bland with no dressing I could find. The salad tasted like it was dressed with plain oil. Very bland and not good to look at. My sister ordered the cherries mac and cheese with garlic bread . She rated it mediocre at best. Again it was extremely hot. And the ciabatta roll which they used for the garlic bread was very hard and extremely chewy. We also had a coffee each. For £40 I feel we could have had a better meal just about anywhere else. I will not be eating there again. Money is harder to come by in todays economy and this felt like a waste of it."

"Great food, good service. One of our party had food allergies and they double checked everything before it was served Staff were helpful and attentive My only negative was the incredibly loud music in the bar and eating area. Even the waitress couldn't hear us It was only 1830 so not late, but it was packed with some roudy noisy people. That and the music didn't make the experience as pleasant as it could have bee Maybe go on a lunchtime or not on a Friday evening!"

"This lovely place survived the pandemic and came out of it stronger than ever. This time, we opted for the fixed menu, which offers exceptional value. All three courses were spot-on. We went for a bin-end of wine, which also offered great value. Relaxed and friendly, but extremely high-end food. Highly recommended."

"I am not satisfied with my experience at this restaurant. As a celiac who needs to eat gluten-free, I informed the bartender of my dietary restrictions. He assured me that all roast dinners were gluten-free. However, I have fallen very ill after eating there today and am extremely unhappy. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone with food allergies. Rating: Food 1, Service 5, Atmosphere 4."

1853 Restaurant And Bar

Full • Cakes • British • Breakfast

"I took my mum and two daughters to Tortworth Court for afternoon tea on December 8th to celebrate my mum's 90th birthday. I had hoped it would be a special treat, but we were disappointed with the experience. After being seated, we had to wait a long time for our order to be taken and for our food to be prepared. The tea that was served was not up to standard - there were no homemade cakes, only bite-sized party food similar to what you would find at a supermarket, and soggy microwave sausage rolls. The finger sandwiches were made with sliced Kingsmill bread, processed cheese, and processed turkey, and were not very tasty. We had to ask for a cup to go with the pot of tea that was brought to our table. We also had to use the same plates for our scones as we had used for the sandwiches. When I asked for butter instead of jam and cream, I was given a packet of sunflower spread. The staff seemed inexperienced and there was no acknowledgment or mention of my mum's special day. Overall, the experience was disappointing and not worth the £135 that we paid. It was not what I would have expected from Tortworth Court."

"I recently dined at the Blue Bowl for Christmas Day lunch and had a fantastic experience. Despite being a bit hesitant since it was my first time at the restaurant, I was impressed with how smoothly everything went. We received a warm welcome from Becky, were promptly seated, and had no wait for drinks. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, especially considering my wheat and gluten intolerance. The meal was delicious, with each dish being excellent. One person raved about the salmon, another loved the fall-off-the-bone rib of beef, and the turkey was incredibly tender. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and overall, everything was a hit. I can't wait to make reservations for this year's Christmas meal. I'm quite particular about food, but I couldn't find fault with anything at the Blue Bowl. If you haven't been before, I highly recommend visiting - you won't be disappointed."

Spice Mahal

"We have eaten at Spice Mahal before and had good food and service. However last night the service was almost worthy of a Basil Fawlty episode. The waiter was really rude when we dared to ask to reduce the amount of poppadoms from 10 to 8, making a huge deal about having to rip off the order from his note pad, storm away from the table, put it in a bin, come back and start the order again. He did this twice, it was so odd, his explanation being that if he didn't do this, the kitchen would get confused. He was so rude, I at first thought he was being ironic. It made us feel very uncomfortable. The food was ok, nothing special this time. The atmosphere was really quite odd, staff looked angry. I won't be back."

"This Place is dirty dirty dirty The seating areas and tables are filthy. Dirty plates left on the tables for far too long? Smoking area out the front is vile the toilets stink and are also filthy. I don’t expect much as it is very cheap but I do expect my order when I order on the app? I ordered and the funds came out of my bank straight away sat for ages waiting so decided to go up to the bar and ask what is going on. I was told they have no order and it’s my bank’s problem as it’s pending so they can not offer me a refund I showed the manager proof that the money came straight out my bank again she refused to do anything about it and questioned if I ordered for a different weatherspoons? Yea of course I did "

"so we have already used a few times China capital and have found ourselves perfectly acceptable (apart from the chips that were always terrible).) we just ordered the half crispy escape, a few fried rice and a few spring rolls. I can say that it was that I've ever had. the duck was like biltong, the early rolls were slimy and soft, the pancakes were chewy, and they could even send dry gurke, which is quite a performance. really terrible. I'm sorry, but we're not gonna order again. btw, it costs more than 30 pounds."

"Arrived with a party of 60 to be told that we couldn't have the Christmas menu but people downstairs could.. it's Christmas ! I ordered 2 of the Xmas cocktails and was told they weren't on the menu because the bar staff didn't know how to make them couldn't be bothered. When we eventually had our food brought 40 mins later the chips and burger were stone cold and my partner's streak was like an old rubber boot. Never had such terrible service and a disgustingmeal. I'm leaving hungry and will find a chippy on the way home. Never again will we go to this beefeater."

"Struggled to understand the attitude of the staff tonight who where confrontational and unfriendly. Just dropped off elderly father and brothers who were visiting for the weekend and staying at Langley Arms seeking a late drink at 11.00. Told bar was closed even to guests. Asked why it was ok for staff who were drinking and told that if I did not like it, to leave. Was informed that it is not a hotel. Very upsetting end to a delightful evening at the Golden Heart, Winterbourne. Check it out Lessons to be learnt about customer service me thinks"
