"My partner brought us here for our anniversary. Sadly the food was a real pretentious mishmash (a lot of purée in every meal including a really unattractive grey sludge in the main), we were freezing cold in the restaurant, and the service was absolutely awful. Wildly overpriced; we’ve spent the same amount of money at Michelin-starred restaurants in London. And the level of quality/overall experience here in no way felt aligned with, or deserving of the steep prices. Firstly, we went on a cool night in early October and the restaurant was freezing. People were eating in their coats…at this point it should be fairly obvious to light a fire or turn on the heating, but it seemed management couldn’t read the room there. The service was incredibly sloppy and careless…spending so much, you’d expect more of a well-rounded experience, which could be as minor as making a small note as to who’s eating what on a small table of two people. I had to ask for cutlery twice when I already had a plate of food in front of me, and at every stage of the meal, “right, who’s having the XYZ??” just seemed so out of place and charmless when you’re digging deep into your pockets. The waiter got one of our drinks order confused, and then later on, after saying he’d remove it from our bill we discovered we’d still been charged. We didn’t really feel like they gave a hoot about us to be completely honest. My partner’s wine glass had also been unhygenically cleaned and imparted the wine with a stench of fish. It was quite shocking. Thankfully on that occasion they were apologetic but wow, that really should not be something happening to customers. The menu was really confusing, and when the waitress tried to explain, only led to further confusion. Firstly, small plates really aren’t tapassy small plates as they’re served in huge domed bowls. just call them “starters”. “Snacks” as a header for the menu too feels like it belongs somewhere much more casual. The experience overall was unnecessarily pretentious and lacking any real substance. I’d really urge you to strip things back to wholesome pub fayre and get solid on the basics first before aiming for the stars, as this was all very shaky. I’d go as far as to warn friends to steer clear of the restaurant at this pub, unfortunately."

Amazing Sunday roast with fantastic, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Possibly my favourite Bristol roast. Wish I'd had room for dessert. Voir le carte

This was one of the best roasts I’ve had in Bristol. Beef was cooked perfectly (rare) and the roasties were crisp and delicious. My partner had the roast pork and that was also incredibly delicious. The hot chocolate mousse was also lush!

Newstead is an amazing chef and the roasts here are literally TO DIE FOR! Everyone ordered the beef and it was exquisite. Even the glazed carrot that comes with the roast is a show stopper. Can't say I've ever said that about a carrot before.

Amazing food, amazing staff and an amazing restaurant/pub with a brilliant atmosphere. The staff are brilliant and helped myself and my mum arrange my dad’s wake which was held here too. I cannot thank everyone enough, especially Catylyn. I strongly encourage everyone to come to try this place! Voir le carte

Young couple running this pub are doing a fantastic job of running a great pub and restaurant. The guy is a highly talented chef, and his partner is a great front of house and bar manager. She is particularly knowlegable about their food. My wife and I had dinner here on Saturday with a couple of Bristol friends who recommended this place knowing that we are keen on good quality food. We were not disappointed I had slow braised beef cheek which was so tender and well flavoured, I don't think I've had a better example. My wife was wowed by the Cornish sole. Not only was the food amazing for what you might expect in a pub environment, but the cask ales were very well kept and in fine condition...

Me and my my partner went to the Star and Dove for my birthday on Sunday and this is the first time we have eaten there. We had the most excellent Sunday roast. I would give it at least 10 out of 10! More like 20 out of 10! As I walked in the pub I was greeted with Happy Birthday! They had obviously remembered. Great staff, so friendly and efficient and the service was incredible. We were treated like royalty. Lots of nice touches, lovely linen napkins and water at the table. The roast dinner is the best we have EVER had. We ate every little bit. My partner said his beef was incredible and my vegetarian celeriac was so tasty. It really was excellent. The carrot, celeriac puree, greens, roast...

"Visited here in Sept 23 for an executive dinner that we were hosting for various senior business leaders. We booked out the whole venue, which was the perfect size and atmosphere for the intimate and exclusive feel that we wanted, plus a convenient location. The TV that shows into the kitchen was fascinating, and the record player was put to use towards the end of the evening! Caroline from the venue helped us organise the event in advance and was great to deal with. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to enjoy a welcome drinks reception out the front of the venue, and have the door open all evening to let the balmy night in. We had the 7 course taster menu and it was simply OUTSTANDING so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was, particularly the beef steak course! It was so tasty that I even enjoyed the fish dish (not usual for me! . Service on the night was exemplary, the courses were brought out at just the right intervals so you weren't waiting ages but also not being rushed. The chef came out to greet us after the final course, which was a lovely touch and meant we could thank him. Overall, we had really great feedback from our guests, everyone loved it thank you for making our event such a success! We would definitely book again, and I know a few of our guests have already recommended it to their own companies for executive dinners! Would not hesitate to recommend."
