Reviews of Hawkes House

L. H.

A fantastic, friendly and welcoming establishment in the heart of Thornbury. As a vegan it was fantastic to see they even had a separate vegan menu. The one pot wonder was absolutely delicious and highly recommended as a change from the usual “breakfast” type offerings.

s. L.

Always great food, menu can sometimes be hit and miss as they change it all The time but but generally friendly staff

S. T.

Great late afternoon meal.

A. C.

Hawkes House is a rare gem of a place. The building and food is incredible. The staff are friendly and it's very fairly priced. I would recommend this place to anyone and strongly advise a visit.

C. B.

7 of us had a meal here, all our food was beautiful. Service with a smile aswel. Definitely recommend

J. R.

Always a good stop morning noon or night. Breakfast was good again,our dog was a bit noisy but no-one cared.. food and drink are always well presented and very appetizing 5star again

I. B.

Popped in for lunch a couple of times when driving home to the Midlands from the south west. Just five minutes off the M5. Lots of parking. Fab food and drinks. Very friendly locals and staff. Love it.

M. S.

Great breakfast as always and lovely coffee too!

n. c.

Great food! Better atmosphere

M.

Lovely place with a good enough outside area for the hot days, but even inside it is pleasant, cosy with a nice and friendly atmosphere. They have a variable menu with vegetarian and vegan option too.

S.

I loved the service man he was so polite and we ordered Sunday roast in a bun and it was delicious.

R. K.

Great food, beer selection & staff was amazing! Went back two days after first visit.

Great relaxing place to chill and have a coffee or meet friends. Just had a coffee. But have seen family with kids.

Great homely atmosphere, friendly staff, if you're new to the area you should give this place a go!

D. F.

Lovely lovely staff. Nice ambience and atmosphere but average food and amateur service for a restaurant.

B. F.

Great place to stop and take a breather, food is good, great coffee. A bit noisy if you are looking for some peace and quite but the staff was friendly and they have free wifi.

T. H.

Great food. Service a little slow but worth waiting for.

A. B.

Four of us visited on Saturday. Three of us ordered roast chicken which was overcooked, so all somewhat disappointed with our food. Sorry to say, service wasn't great.

J. J.

Lovely place,excellent meal

D. P.

Great food and drink, staff are enthusiastic... But the place needs a make over..the carpet is not what you would expect to see in a world class establishment

f.

It's got good food and a nice setting. But I wish there was a baby changer I could access (as a Dad). Generally kid friendly though

A. L.

A few of the tapas dishes we ordered were not available, the food was reasonable but slightly disappointing. I don't think I would visit in a hurry again unfortunately.

S. G.

Best pub burger I have had in ages. Great food for the price. Only 30 seconds walk from a free car park

S. L.

Lovely pub to stop for a quick drink, also the food are really good. Lots of options for vegan/gluten free.

C. W.

Visiting with my family, love the town and always look forward to visiting Hawkes.

R. C.

Sunday 3rd April. Beautiful food. Food took years and was cancelled multiple times (couldn't have first choice then took ten 20mins to even tell us that we couldn't have the second choice) . Manager/owner was very apologetic gave us free drinks as well as a few free meals that were most disturbed. If your willing to wait upwards of a hour for a stunning burger that might not arrive, its the place to go.

J. L.

Pleasant staff and surroundings, but service was slow and food ok, but wasn't special

c. s.

have been here a few times .Food pretty good . The toilets let the place down dirty doors broken lock really need a good clean . Its a shame when its an eating establishment !

G. H.

Reception staff need people skills training.. Shame as it lets a beautiful place down ....

T. 4.

Reasonable prices. Average food. Vegan burger cold in the centre. 45 minute wait after ordering and a very surly waitress

j. s.

Unbelievable... I thought I'd driven to the USA, Sam my server was incredible... And the food was hot and the place spotlessly clean.

We were visiting Thornbury today and came across your establishment where we had the most lovely breakfast this morning. The service we recieved was excellent. The host lady was extremely friendly and welcoming She had her hands full with a film set and lots of guests but still made time to talk to us and she and her staff did a wonderful job. Lovely outing.

S. S.

Super pub which punches above its weight in the food department. We ate from the Christmas menu and the food was super delicious. The menu was different and while producing the expected typical fare for this time of year, did it in such a way that was so different, tasty and exciting. All 10 of us were very happy with the service, the staff were very attentive and it all went very well. I would recommend and will look forward to my next meal here. 👍🔥❤️

J. C.

Excellent! Came into a busy, bustling pub was greeted by a wonderfully happy lady who managed to squeeze me in even with no booking! Food came promptly and was delicious! A lovely Saturday brunch experience, keep up the great work!

J. H.

Great food, great services. Would recommend anytime! 10/10

T. F.

Lovely dog-friendly restaurant. Menu is a tiny bit limited but all the food is fantastic; kitchen is small so I respect the aim to do a smaller menu perfectly than a big menu poorly. Staff are all incredibly friendly and service isn't slow even when it's busy. Inside decor is very nice with eclectic furniture and there's an outdoor area too with shade. Fantastic brunch options and rotating pale and amber ales means this place is good for any occasion or time of day. My personal favourite place in Thornbury!

J. S.

Lovely lunch staff very friendly & social distancing excellent

Decent food - ate the giant chilli dog and it was huge.

I. S.

We've eaten here quite a few times, mainly for breakfast /brunch (which is amazing, all day breakfast options which are far beyond a standard full English). Today we had lunch, wife had roast beef, I had a foot long chilli dog. Interesting and tempting menu. Great choice of beers and wines too.

The most amazing accommodating team, it is a must to try Hawkes House. I contacted them to ask if they could take a booking for 15 people at very short notice. Over the course of 2 days I spoke with David, Jenny & Amelia who were all super helpful and friendly. We needed a place to offer drinks and a bite to eat after a local funeral. They bent over backwards to help us even when the numbers crept to 20 the night before and then 22 on the day. They had cleared a private area for us and provided a fabulous buffet including a delicious cake and drinks. The staff couldn't have been nicer and are a real credit to them. Nothing was too much trouble including one of the guests being able to bring their dog in. Thank you to everyone at Hawkes House who made a difficult day so much easier. We will definitely return when in the area. Victoria, David & family

C. A.

Has a great atmosphere most times we've visited. Food is cooked well and professionally presented. Just as nice for Brunch as it is for an evening meal, or dropping in for coffee

A. L.

I am new to working in Thornbury and as it is a fair way for me to travel, I intend to make a bit more of a day of it. Treat myself to a different place every time I go I went in on a Saturday lunchtime and it was busy - you could see them working in the kitchen non stop Had a great snack of bread breakfast and a cup of tea - it was busy and I was warned of the wait but it was worth the wait and I did not leave disappointed - so worth the wait and it the spot before catching the bus back home There is plenty of space

H. C.

It's a nice space in a good location, but the waitress wasn't wearing a facemask despite Government mask mandate in the middle of Omicron crisis (>100,000 cases on the day we visited), which felt quite disrespectful. Mulled wine was quite expensive yet tepid.

L. G.

Staff are really friendly & helpful. Full table service. Specials board always have delicious dishes on it & if the pork is on it I definitely recommend it. Chicken burger is delicious highly recommend

L. C.

Came here twice in one weekend. Great service, excellent chilli, and one of the best breakfasts I've had. Highly recommended!

N. T.

Went in for a family brunch. Great food excellent coffee, Staff are always friendly and helpful. Nice decor, relaxed and interesting building and photos. Always enjoy eating or going for a drink there.

Fantastic food as always! Great value for money and service always excellent.

I. R.

Great little find on the high street. Varied menu. Good food, good value.

K. W.

Great food and big portions! Have tried the smoothie bowl, vegetarian breakfast and normal breakfast and they were all delicious. Good quality food products cooked well. Service is excellent. Bonus that dogs are allowed too

T. D.

Very good service and nice meals at a good price. Beer and wine great too. Atmosphere and comfort added to the experience. Thanks.

P. S.

Warm ambience with welcoming staffs. Enough space for outdoor and indoor seating but outdoor seating is quite compact. It's a good place for tea or coffee but not great for food.

W. D.

Loved this place my boy has learning difficulties the staff are amazing with him. They are so good hes allowed to go to the counter alone to order extra fries as he adores them &he can use the contactless card. He feels so grown up &able. This is great for his confidence. Lovely place,lovely staff lovely food &great customers.

P. D.

Nice food and good service would have liked plan food but very nice place

S. G.

The inside is so fascinating, ancient and unspoilt , yet comfortably furnished, A really ' buzzing ' place.

J. R.

Excellent little bar restaurant with good real ale. Opens early for breakfast.

J. H.

The waitress was pleasant but a bit forgetful, but we had plenty of time so it was not an issue. We only had coffee and cake as there were no sandwiches. Just quite expensive hot food.

R. E.

A lovely little place and I do like it here. But on this occasion I stopped with some family and was pretty shocked to have a £30 bill for 4 slices of cake and a cuppa. I'll stick to the cider in future.

A.

Had great lunch outside. Interesting menu.

Only came here for some tea and cakes but the menu looks pretty amazing will have to come by again and try some of that! But the cafe itself has an amazing interior and an interesting set of chairs on each table. Only negative I can give is the seating near the kitchen stinks of raw meat - wasn't pleasant sitting there so I moved elsewhere.

It's a really nice place. And the smoothies are amazing. If you're a sweet tooth and a health geek. EAT THEM GREENS is the smoothie for you 👍

Menu looks good and they have lots of good ideas, but was disappointed with the food when it came, it was just not exercuted very well. We had early lunch on a Saturday but most of the things we asked for from the menu they couldn't provide as they didn't have or have the right ingredients. The food felt rushed and like not a lot of attention had been paid to it. I hope this was just an off day as I like what they are trying to do with the variety of menu and inclusiveness they are trying to provide, but unfortunately we didn't have the best experience.

Very busy. Pleasant surrounding. Simple but good food. Not too expensive.

We had a great lunch. Good food, gluten free choices and fast service. Grandchildren just wish they still did big fluffy pancakes but no pancakes on menu now!

D. S.

We've spent lots of times at Hawkes, but our 1st return as a family was disappointing. The food was very underwhelming and expensive for what it was. My example being the Nachos, £7 for a bowl of nacho crumbs, a dollop each of tasteless sour cream and guacamole, melted cheese not much better and the 'salsa' was a few chopped up tomatoes, sprinkled on top. We will come back, because we hope it improves, but not quite yet. Come on Hawkes.

Lovely Food when we Eventually got it. Was taken to a table and sat there 15 mins I had to ask for someone to come. Chefs were Arguing with man who was taking the orders . Shouting NO FOOD FOR 40 MINUTES!! 🤔 suppose it was a bit of entertainment while we sat there waiting . That's why I only gave 3 star . Be a lot better if it was run properly

Lovely food, good service. Visited here a few times and always been very happy.

Stunning gem in Thornbury High street, was gorgeous before but the new refurb has really elevated it to a new level! The food array is vast, they have an open kitchen so you always know the hygiene is great, really friendly staff whom nothing is too much trouble for, and the food will keep you coming back again and again! This is where the locals go, (I am one!) don’t miss it! Really good value for money too, highly recommended! Well done Hawkes House!

P. T.

Relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly. Gluten free and vegan options. Real ale available. Good food, good coffee. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you were in a hurry! Would recommend.

C.

Lovely building with a great vibe, lots of people whether just having a drink or eating & chilling. Sort of place I'd happily visit on my own or with others. I really enjoyed the food but not the coffee sadly. I'm not a great coffee connoisseur so can't make claims about its quality one way or the other. Just not to my taste!

P.

Great atmosphere, excellent food and nice staff. Right in the heart of Thornbury. We always go here when we're in this area as we know we're going to be well looked after.

M. a. J.

Brilliant takeaway burger, great friendly service and a cracking pint!

B. B.

Fab food and lots of it! We had the full breakfast. Lovely,polite staff. Very Covid aware. But....... Menu bit ambiguous/disjointed and think the wait time for some people was a bit lengthy, maybe because of current situation? Personally, we'll definitely visit again. 😃🌞

C. M.

Great atmosphere, delicious cakes. Not particularly a fan of the coffee blend here but the food is good. Toilets could do with more frequent cleaning.

G. H.

Lovely cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Great for a tea or coffee stop & food also great! Dog and vegan friendly too - highly recommend!

M. R.

Second time here seriously NOT disappointed. Awesome food, brilliant service, definitely worth a visit. Simply the best.😎

C. L.

Bizarre insistence on staying table service post covid

M. H.

Love this place. The decor is awesome, food is great and staff are super friendly

A. W.

Really good food!

F. O. O.

An absolute gem of an eatery. Great customer service. The food was delicious and well worth a trip to discover for yourself. Brilliant ambience. Hey, let's not forget the parking: you have two choices - free parking for either 2 or (drum roll) 12 hours 😂😁🤣!!

R.

Good service, nice food (with veggie / vegan options including pudding), and dog friendly. The dark forest hot chocolate sounded excellent although I didn't try it. I recommend popping in.

O. S.

Great drinks, great new menu just let down by tough meat and a few items missed off of plates which had to be chased. Ordered lamb and couldn't cut it with my knife which was bizarre. For a reasonably priced meal it's not bad!

J. H.

Had an excellent cup of tea and tasty piece of simnel cake. We left a hat there and they kindly kept it to one side for us to pick up the next day. Friendly staff and pleasant surroundings for a break. It is now one of our go-to places.

P. L.

Not bad local independent bar/pub/restaurant! Good atmosphere and friendly service, but the food is not that good anymore - they can't keep good chefs and have some absolute muppets. Good choice of ales/ciders and other drinks.

D. M.

Friendly, welcoming, the coffee is great, the burgers are yum. Bring back the full menu though Hawkes House! The plant based, vegan style food isn't for everyone...

L. C.

The interior is probably better suited in its style for the younger generation, that said the service was friendly and it was nice to be able to have a smaller cup for mum as she struggles with the larger glass ones in other coffee shops, toilets easily accessible and the personal touch appreciated

R. C.

Good food, decent selection and nice ales on tap, only let down by the desert. I had an elderflower cheesecake that oddly came decorated with raspberry syrup and hundreds and thousands, it looked like a lame child's birthday and was partially ruined by the slice of lime on top

R. -.

Great place with varied food (good vegan options). Cosy setting with games and book to use. Would be 5* but we have to check our wallet before we decide to go... You pay for good food but the drinks are expensive.

Z. B.

Have been here lots, for drinks,food etc. Always friendly helpful staff, a lush local business nice coffee. The best fries and chicken nacho burger I've ever had.

m. s.

Warm friendly welcome. Tasty food even my dog was made a full fuss of. Would recommend whole heartedly to everyone.

M. H.

This was a chance visit but Hawkes House is a lovely lunch destination, with plenty of space, lots of variety on the menu, delicious food and pleasant staff. It's just outside the shopping precinct in the town so easy to get to. It would have been 5 stars but our table obviously needed a clean and was sticky to touch. As my wife pointed out to me repeatedly ..... Other than that, great lunch!

P. F.

The meals were ok but we had to keep our coats on throughout our visit. When we touched the radiator it was stone cold...

P. C.

Lovely relaxed breakfast. Good service.

C. D.

An excellent place, ever since it opened at the end of 2014. Well used from early morning for breakfast, morning coffees, lunches and in the afternoon and evenings for food and drinks. Popular with men and women, young and old. On our last visit we were there in the evening and noticed it wasn't as crowded, possibly because we understand the owners are focusing on opening a new place in Congresbury.

J. D. R. d.

Getting better all the time as restrictions are eased. Great range of food. 👍🙂. You would be well advised to book these days.😉

U.

Food was good bit diddent like homemade beans. It's a dog friendly place if you can eat with strong smell of wet dog this place is for you. Lots of choice on menu and breakfast was tasty.

G.

A real English breakfast at a fantastic price!

H. A.

Good food, friendly service but took a long time to get our brunch.

A. M.

Great building, Great menu, Great drinks on offer and great staff. Would highly recommend whether using it as a cafe, meeting place or pub.

M. O.

Food is awesome, staff nice and just a lovely place to switch off and relax. I come here three times a week and the place never fails to impress.

A. P.

Great ambience, lovely food and staff. If there was a drawback it is a little pricey, but you do get big helpings for your money

K. S.

First visit to Hawkes House as it claimed to have a good range of gluten free options. Unfortunately when we got there there wasn't much choice for a 10 year old. The food was nice but quite pricey for what it was and the place looks like it had its hey day about 5 years ago and is in dire need of a refurb. The dead plants in the bathroom didn't really do it for me either.

S. R.

Lush! The menu is good and it has a nice vibe to sit and chill with a coffee or something stronger if you want! Children welcome and the a nice outside place if the weather is good

A. W.

I use the place fairly regularly, Saturday mornings for tea and breakfast then again in the evening for cider or beer. Very nice helpful staff, nothing is too much for them even if you want to "adjust" the menu. Lovely place.

C. M.

Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere anytime of the day. Very popular so if you're able to plan ahead I would definitely reserve a table prior to arriving.

S. M. W.

Visited the Hawkes House whilst car was serviced. Had a glass of wine and their own burger and chips. Burger was good. Chips where skinny fries (awful). Needed more lettuce. Staff friendly. Coffee was boring (cheap beans?). No signal from my provider but Hawkes Wi-Fi was adequate for emails and Google searches

D. T.

Friendly and relaxed place, good selection of healthy foods. Well worth the effort, the food here is absolutely delicious.

S. R.

We had a quick, early supper. Fast service, delicious mexican burger and yummy sweet potatoe fries. All ages happily presented. Very happy!

A.

Very pleasant atmosphere, nice food if a little on the expensive side. Only done breakfast and coffee which was good, can be slow to arrive though!

A. P.

Excellent evening, lovely food and live music. Would highly recommend

N. B.

A lovely neighbourhood cafe/restaurant. Great prices on drink and food for both a morning stop off or an evening meal. We've had a few problems with our bill being wrong but it's always sorted quickly and with no hassle. The place is looking a little tired on the inside but the atmosphere makes up for it.

A. W.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Parking can be difficult if you have mobility problems.

A. W.

Had the full breakfast. It was a nice breakfast. Poached egg was runny , a bonus. Homemade baked beans... have butter beans in, but it was OK. Staff are friendly. Would come back again.
