The Clifton in Bristol

Delicious Sunday Roasts with Bloody Marys. Friendly staff and good service. Roast Beef was perfectly pink & roast potatoes crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Not the cheapest of places but quality of food and cooking is very good

Honestly this for me is the best restaurant in Clifton village and one of the best in Bristol. They always use fresh produce and the menu is changing constantly depending on what’s available and in season. The way to go is to share a little small plate on the table as they are more fillers for the main, and then go for the sharer plates. We have gotten the sharer plate a few times now and every time it is way bigger than expected with comfortably feeding 3 people. It’s such good money for value I could not recommend it more. Unless you are trying the sharing plates I do not think you have had The Clifton experience. Also the service is excellent. P.S. can’t tell by the photo but the size of the plate is bigger than my arm

If I didn’t reserve a table through First Table for 50%off discount, I’d be shook to the core by the portions of the small plates with such high prices. We ordered sourdough and some oysters for starters and they were amazing. However, the mains were a massive let down. Ordered pork cheek with chicory but it was served like a cold Caesar salad and I found it too greasy with bits of solid cold pork fat. The lamb was great but the portion was way too small. The dish came as four mozzarella stick-sized fingers. The leek was recommended by the waiter but we weren’t amazed by it. The quality of the whole crab was great. But, we weren’t expecting that it was served cold. It was quite a messy experience as we weren’t given a spare plate to leave the shells nor given anything to sanitize our fingers after. The highlight of the meal was the orange soufflé which I loved, I’d recommend trying it. Service was just ok as we waited about an hour from ordering our dessert and getting the bill. It was peak hour and the waitress forgot to give us our bill and we had to go to the bar to pay. Overall, I’d only visit again if I fancy a nice dessert and few drinks after meal.

We visited for a Sunday roast having seen great reviews online. We were hesitant at the £24-26 price but thought you pay for what you get. WRONG. The service felt strange it wasn't very welcoming. The toilets were poor, urinal leaking all over the floor. When staff were told they used the resturant mop to clean it up and then placed the urine covered mop back in the resturant. Our roast arrived. The look was good but we quickly notice our plates had one slice of meat, one small carrot and some cabbage. The 2-3 roast potatoes you got were the worst l have ever experienced on a roast. They were either frozen or cooked hours before. Dry and rock solid. The waiter look surprised with our feedback. Check reviews here or on Google it's a consistent issue. You cooking a roast. A potato should be spot on for £26! Yes we did receive a discount. To be honest I wouldn't risk a roast

We've been for a Sunday roast on a few occasions. The food is always really good. The crispyness on the roast potatoes is exceptional (unless they've sat under the heat lamp for a while, in which case they might go a bit soft on the outside). The gravy is also very good, they've clearly taken their time to make it. The service is usually always good. It has a nice warm atmosphere. Good environment for a small group/family.
