M. P.

Good overall roast dinner, beef was melt in the mouth with nice veggies. My only little niggle was the roast potatoes weren't quite cooked enough and not crispy or fluffy outside. Nice pint of Neckoil and good overall service. Recommended.

M. K.

Dropped in for a weekday lunch on Monday. Had a really tasty burger and a nice pint of decent ale (not your new age, ice cold micro brewery sherbert !). NIce boozer and friendly bar staff. Lush !

C. K.

Great food and service!

R. S.

We stopped off just for coffee for a change, but always great for lunch or dinner.

S. S.

Always enjoy eating here. Is a great place for a good lunch or weekday evening. Gets pretty busy at the weekend but staff are fab and do their best to be entertaining!

R. M.

Fantastic pub with gastronomy food, delicious mussels and a perfectly cooked and tender flat iron steak. Worth a deviation in your route to try. Very friendly and helpful staff

T. S.

Really nice cozy place with great food and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Felt welcome amongst the locals, and enjoyed the night. We went with kids who enjoyed the food and ping pong table.

M. F.

This is one of my locals. Quite often pop in for a drink when walking the dog. Down side is the building is owned by Heineken Sotheby's draught selection is limited to major national breweries. However did have one from the milk street brewery recently. Food is good quality but simple enough to be comfort grub.

C. P.

Felt very safe. Food was delicious and not pricey. A bit slow with food, but it was a Saturday night! Would happily go back.

N. C.

Love atmosphere and place to relax. They take the covid measures really seriously which is reassuring. We only had a drink so no food but well priced.

M. B.

P. B.

Lovely food, nice selection of beers etc.. Relaxed atmosphere, hidden gem. Only negative is that it can be difficult to find somewhere to park if you come by car.

S. W.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, has beer garden. Limited lunch menu.

W. I.

Lovely atmosphere, very accomadating service and lovely food. One small flaw in that with all the sleek modern hard furnishings it was very echoey and hard to hear conversation at our table. Will be going again!

C. B.

Really nice place, great fun and friendly staff. Food very good too!

R. S.

Great food, friendly staff, lovely decor and brilliant view (even has excellent beer garden)!

J. F.

We had a good time at the knowle,the only fault was,when ordering food, so things which they had ran out of which was a bit off putting as it was only Tuesday ! And as it was a quiz night and half term that more stock would of been ordered?

J. T.

One of my favourite places to eat.If carlsberg did restraunts they would be like this

R.

Food was reasonable and staff were friendly enough but got overcharged when I paid the outstanding amount on my card. £115 minus £96 does not equal £25

D. H.

Best roast for miles. Proper sticky toffee pudding. Always book a table - always busy on Sunday.

S. M.

Really lovely local pub with excellent food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

M. C.

Eaten here several times on Sundays now, really good. My beef on this occasion wasn't the best however my mate had pork belly which he really enjoyed and looked banging

D. H.

Great pub. Friendly service and really good food. Not typical pub food, plenty of choice for everyone.

R. S. (.

You walk in and immediately feel, "ah yes, this is a good pub". There was beer, it's a pub, I was happy. 5 stars would imbibe until inebriated again.

M.

Lovely local hostelry with great staff and communal atmosphere. Extensive menu, and Sunday roast is one of the best.

A. D.

Was visiting Bristol as had to take to dog to the vets and thought we would stop off for lunch the bar man was very welcoming allowing us to bring our dog in and the food was lovely will deffo pay this place another visit when in the area again .

N. B.

Love this place, friendly, welcoming and good coffee! Good for families and even dogs. Just wish we lived closer, who knows, we could always move!

N. C.

Nice, cosy, and very welcoming! The interior space was a bit too plain and the kitchen exposed with all kinds of smells and not a very interesting sight.

K. H.

M. F.

Lovely pub, very relaxed atmosphere, great food and fabulous service.

I. J.

Don't be shy of paying for quality. What a lovely place for a quality bite to eat and a natter with a decent pint. There's a small but respectful range of quality ales on rotation and a commendable range of gin if that's your poison of choice. The food menu offers a simple choice of fayre and it's good quality - a falafel burger was demolished without interruption by my wife as was my fish and chips: well cooked chips and a delightfully thick piece of cod, complimented with a garnish of home made tartare sauce and mashed mushy peas, which were brilliant. I've previously reviewed the pub before, commentating on its prices, which are higher than I'd like. Being objective, the prices aren't unreasonable and in line with prices from other quality gastropubs in the locality. I'm always one to identify high prices in return for mediocre food and it would be for from fair to place The Knowle in this bracket. (Oh - the staff are lovely too, very friendly and the decor is great!)

R. S.

Very impressed with the food and customer service. Would definitely go again.

P. H.

Food is delious . Friendly atmosphere. Always feel welcomed. Top class.

Lovely bar person. Knowledgeable and friendly. Great food, great garden too!

B. B.

Food is great, limited options! We could only eat there after out second try! The first we got there around 2 pm and they didn’t have enough food. Since it was nice and sunny, we were looking forward to sit in the garden, but apparently they do not serve there! I honestly don’t know why they have it. Waitresses were kind, it took sometime for them to clear our table! But overall the food was good. It is an amateur environment, with homemade good food. It seems like they don’t wish or desire to make much effort as fat as the service is concerned! I believe they can afford that. In summary food is good, service can be better! Zero covid measures in case you ar concerned with any of that.

We come to The Knowle on a Sunday for the Sunday Lunch Roast. The options we had was beef, turkey and pork belly. We ordered the pork belly, beef and half beef (children's portion) All were delicious and I really enjoyed the selection of vegetables to accompany the roast. We opted for a side of pigs and blankets and for dessert we chose a dark chocolate and peanut butter tarte (tasted Amazing I'm told) Speed of service was brilliant and the price is quite reasonable for the quality of the food and services your paying for. Were be back!!

This is first time for many years that I've been in the Knowle and what a change! The vibe is a very relaxed and open one. Decked out with a combination of 1960's Ercol furniture and 1950's Oak veneered table and mismatched chairs its decor is very much of the moment. A real nice selection of beers and larger including Red Stripe on tap this is probably the best pub in the area. I didn't sample the food but the dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen looked very good. I'll definitely be returning.

Varied menu to cater for everyone though would suggest not putting salt on kids meals!

G. W.

Nice local pub with good beers. Decent menu too.

U.

Great service and good food. Dog friendly as well 🙂

R. H.

Lovely food. Limited Sunday lunch choices but artfully presented and tastes like it should. Pork or beef roasts are shown in the pictures. Beef shredded in the Yorkshire tasted divine.

R. A.

Great food at a good price. Staff were really friendly. Quite loud when busy making conversation a little harder but that's due to the open plan nature of the place - it's a pleasant buzz rather than an unpleasant racket. Will definitely visit again.

C. B.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast here. The vegan nut roast was ideal and we enjoyed the chocolate and peanut butter tart, which was also vegan and GF. Would highly recommend!

C. G.

Three generations of us called in for Sunday Lunch. Food was well cooked, plenty to eat and a reasonable price. Plus a friendly team.

H. I.

Lovely neighbourhood pub, excellent menu and a good selection of drinks. Caters well for vegans and vegetarians and they take table reservations. Feels safe during covid times too. 10/10

S. P.

Very friendly. Nice garden area to sit.

D. R.

We were taken to the Knowle by my wife's son and his partner for a Sunday roast, I have to say it was one of the best roast dinners I have ever had! It is a really nice local pub with a lovely beer garden, the staff are friendly and professional. We will definitely be returning when we are next in Bristol.

M. B.

Been coming here for a while and it's always good. Great beer, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. However came for Sunday lunch in Jan and the roast was even better than usual, really excellent. Been thinking about the beef shin in the giant Yorkshire all week!

L. C.

Really nice food, very impressed with the quality for the money. Will definitely return. Pet friendly is a plus.

p.

My local and great to go back there for first time since COVID - my first time ever for food. They took great care - COVID confident - and were very welcoming. You need to book in advance of course - and the sirloin steak and Lamb & chorizo pie were both delicious! Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

刘.

Had a Sunday roast with friends. Was tasty and good portion sizes. Helpful staff that checked everything was ok.

L. M.

A solid Sunday roast in Bristol. I had the nut roast which had a lot flavour, highlight was the Yorkshire pudding & cauliflower cheese. Make sure you ask for extra gravy as you only get a little. Roasties weren’t that good, a bit hard and not crispy on the outside or fluffy inside.

d. d.

Good food, could have been hotter, the beef for me was under cooked , but it's the modern way. The veg was excellent, more than enough with more available if required. Wine a tad expensive for a pub, house wine at £22-00, but it was good with the food. 6 people more than happy.. will go again.

D. S.

Good food, for a pub. The aftertaste left by the bill is less palatable. food quality rating 4, price rating for value for money, 2. Will I go again, no 😔

B. A.

The Staff, Food and Beer are all very nice. Well recommend

M. c.

What a transformation of a place. Admittedly this happened a few years back but it all still looks very new and fresh. Small and well executed lunch menu. Very clean. Staff extremely helpful. Small selection of real ales. Large grassed beer garden. Child friendly. Dogs welcome on leads. Excellent lunch.

G. S.

Had Sunday lunch here with friends on 2nd December and it far exceeded our expectations. The food was fantastic - the best roast I've had in ages - and all the staff were attentive and friendly throughout. They even gave us Christmas crackers! Also - a small but important thing - there was background music but it wasn't too loud so we could have a good conversation. Nice decor too.

D. W.

Steak was amazing! Great Gin and nice wine. Atmosphere was really good, really attentive and friendly staff. Would recommend booking a table to guarantee a table. Girlfriend had gluten free option, which was, According to her, was really good. Will be going back again!

S. W.

Best pub in my area. Happy to walk 4 mile round trip to enjoy.

J. D.

The young men and women on the bar are all very friendly and really add to the place's appeal. There's a decent range of beer and the garden is nice on a sunny day. Certainly nicer than my other options for a local.

G. P.

Pretty much your standard fancy gastro type pub. It was clean and pleasant with decent beer etc. Nothing special but not to be avoided.

M. R.

Always a friendly smile to welcome you. The food is always a good standard in a busy yet organised friendly atmosphere. Can get very busy on a weekend so booking essential. The menu is small but full of quality with a relative selection for all tastes. The bar menu is broad wit a good selection of beers wines spirits and non alcoholic drinks.

Absolutely incredible service! Staff were all friendly and fun to be around and talk to! Has to be the highest quality food I've ever had too! All in all, best pub experience I've received yet! 100% recommend!

Short stop off for dinner. Two of their Gastro Burger choices. Really delicious food, the burger is really something! Good dressed salad and chips. Nice charming service. Grand building. Glad we tried and we'll be back to try more of that food.

J. W.

It's really good if you're local and fancy a decent pint, can't downvote them for their lack of bourbons because the service is efficient and friendly. Shout to Nathan making our trip so much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Lovely beer garden and friendly staff

Had a lovely family Sunday lunch. Food really good. Great selection of veg. Nice to have an extra jug of gravy with meal. Apple and pear crumble fab. Staff very welcoming. Definitely be going again.

We contacted The Knowle when we were searching for a venue to cater for a wake following a funeral in the nearby Catholic Church. Out of all the venues we got in touch with, Beth at The Knowle responded the fastest and was straight away accommodating and helpful. The menu they provided was appetising and creative and very good value, needless to say we booked straight away. On the day they had kept half the pub accessible for the funeral guests and laid out a tasty buffet with fresh sandwiches (lovely fluffy bread) and other items we chose. The brownies were a particular favourite. Once the guests had dispersed they cleared the buffet and even packed all the leftovers into Tupperware which they gave us to take away! All in all it helped to make a difficult day that bit better. I would thoroughly recommend them

A great local that we enjoy visiting regularly! The food is good, especially with the new chef, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside to the pub would be that the veggie options are usually disappointing, but overall a great place

This place is so good I almost don't want to recommend it because it will become too crowded. The real ales are excellent and the chips are probably the best anywhere. I've never had a big meal here but they look delicious and, judging from other reviews, indeed are. It's my friend's local, and I wish it were mine. The only negative comment is a personal gripe about pub quiz nights (Tuesdays) - if you're not participating they can be annoyingly loud and distracting to conversation.

A really nice pub. Good ale and great food. The staff were nice and helpful. There were several TVs on the walls but they weren't on. There's a few signs advertising the upcoming football world cup but it wasn't obtrusive. I'll know not to go there for the next few weeks...

E. C.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Good size serving, nicely presented and very tasty. Friendly staff relaxed atmosphere.

N. C.

Friendly, cosy environment but food not great. If we go back it'll just be for drinks!

First time visiting the knowle yesterday and was blown away by the quality of the food! Best roast I’ve ever eaten solid 10/10 the beef melted in your mouth. Friendly staff and great atmosphere in the pub too!. Highly recommended

M. B.

Lovely local pub in Knowle - good choice of real ale, wine & cocktails. Great menu with good choice of meat, fish & veggie dishes, Sunday roast always good. Great beer garden which is a real sun trap late afternoon evening with table tennis table. Only thing that lets this place down is the 100 watt lightbulbs - always far too bright whatever time we go.

H. G.

Usually has a good selection of drinks, friendly staff, nice setting and also great views out the back. The 4 stars is for the lack of variety on the menu, which is not rotated often enough, while they also need to advertise more clearly when they are serving food. I've been in late afternoon when they have stopped serving food, when the website suggested they were

A.

Excellent food and reasonably priced. Friendly service that always exceeds my expectations. There's lots of room for dining but make sure you book a table in advance because on a Friday / Saturday night it gets quite busy.

I've been here a few times in the last year (my courses are in Bristol and I use an AirBnB around the corner). It's not the cheapest place to eat in the area it seems, but it is bloody lovely. Had the pork on the current menu (Apr-18) which didn't look like a lot of food when it came out but its deceptively filling! Always friendly staff. Echo the comments about it being a bit noisy for some, but I liked the busy atmosphere in the bar area. The dining area is a little quieter though, especially around the corner.

D. W.

Short Sunday lunch menu, but very high quality and friendly service. We took some of-of-town friends who were also very impressed.

j. P.

Booked a table for my husband's Birthday.We come from Birmingham, looking after Grandchildren for 10 days and they live just by the Knowle. Had a brilliant meal and service and atmosphere great. Will come again when visiting. J&G

R. W.

Great local pub, good selection of drinks, lovely food and staff always friendly. Sunday Roast is always good here.

N. H.

Great local pub, out of the way from main routes a little, good variety of food, service good.

C. H.

This is a really nice local tucked well away from the high street in the middle of a residential area. Place is clean and tidy, food is fine and seating is spacious. Only thing negative is that you couldn't hear each other talk if the place is packed - the noise is deafening as it bounces off the bare walls. I wouldn't stay if it's packed - shame that.

N. P.

Great pub, good beers, friendly and attentive staff and great food. Recommended.

M. P.

Cute pub with nice ales on tap. However the food wasn't great. We went for a Sunday roast (albeit at the tail end of the day) and each dish was overly soaked in gravy and the meat tough as nails. Staff were very nice however.

K. W.

Amazing place! Great atmosphere. Great food. Catered well for my gluten free requirements. Rosie was an awsome waitress. Thoroughly enjoyed our Xmas dinner. We’ll be back for sure!! Thanks so much! Kate x

B. W.

Such a friendly place to go for a drink, the menu is amazing and ever changing. Really great atmosphere whenever I'm in there. The locals are proper characters! The events like the Tuesday night pub quizzes are brilliant with some good prizes on offer.

T. V.

Went with 2 friends for a Sunday roast. The food was delicious, would also like to say a big thank you to the chef who was absolutely lovely and was a joy to see someone who takes pride in his work , as well as sharing his recipes and culinary tips , will definitely be trying his recipes at home ,and returning to the knowle again

J. B.

Went for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed in the slightest. The place is done out really nice, the meat was great and veg was abundant and delicious. Only ever so slight downside was the potatoes, would give 4.5* if I could.

A. S.

Really friendly staff, nice food and decent selection of drinks. The beer garden is lovely in the summer though they close it (and seats out the front) at 10pm cos of noise complaints from fussy neighbours - if you buy a house next to a pub you should expect it will be a bit noisy! Inside it is a nice mix of old school booze with more modern gastro pub. Smart without being pretentious.

F. L.

lovely pub with really good looking attractive staff

M. D.

Great food. Good choices. Well kept beer. Friendly service and a welcome!

D. S.

Had the venison pie, was bloody lovely, and great value too. Great atmosphere with friendly staff doing their best during all this covid stuff. Also, waitresses are fit as.

s. b.

Very nice pub friendly staff

K. A.

I went there with my wife, young son and baby daughter on a weekday evening and we were greeted straight away, we found a seat and the staff came over after about a minute and took our drinks and food order. They were very friendly, they were very attentive and the food and drinks were very good. A nice and friendly atmosphere. It was great and we'll be back again :)

I have heard about the reputation locally for this pub and it's food for some time. This often worries me, as hopes rise only to be dashed. Not here. Visited with a friend for lunch. The service was friendly and helpful, delivered promptly and most of all was delicious. One happy customer who will be returning.

H. G.

Good refit. It's good to see new life in an old pub. It has now become more of a gastro pub than a back Street boozer. There is a good selection of real ales and the staff were polite and friendly, although it does feel like drinking in cafe grounded.

G. S.

Booked a table for the dog friendly area and from the moment we walked in with our pooch,Charlie the bar maid/waitress was the most amazing host.....nothing was too much effort for her!sorry we didn't have any more money to leave her the tip she deserved 😍 And the food was good too!

B. S.

Great welcoming atmosphere for an after work pint. Food didn't start until 5 but as soon as it hit the o'clock the bar maid came over and asked if I wanted my Chips now.

s. m.

Possibly the best gastropub in Bristol. I have eaten there meny times now (10+) and have never been dissapointed, great food and very well priced. The staff are really friendly and helpfull, dogs and kids welcome. if i had to mention a negitive it would be the steep steps down to the garden, but i guess thats what happens when a pub is built on a hill! The lovely staff opened the side gate for me to get in the garden (step free) when i bought my son last year after he broke his leg and was confined to a wheelchair for a couple of months. My Husband tells me they keep a great selection of beers, i am more than happy with the wine selection! I would always book for the Amazing Sunday roast (or at least phone ahead) Chef Blaines 12hour roast beef is sublime, its pink and oh so tender, Mmmm i feel a Sunday roast calling me....

M. C.

Lovely place just a shame the veg was so under cooked we couldn't even cut them

D. F.

Food was pretty good, but service? Hit and mainly miss. Drinks orders forgotten but billed for. Meals for the group arriving in batches so the group meal wasn't as "group" as it should have been.

S. B.

Really friendly and we'll presented pub. Would love to try to food next time as looked amazing. Great atmosphere and good gin.

J. A.

Top pie! Good, attentive but not intrusive staff.

r. i.

A couple of friends got me to go here last night and I had a pretty nice time. The staff were friendly and courteous, with a good selection of drinks and snacks all reasonably priced. I look forward to returning at a decent hour to try the food

G. C.

Great food and great service.

Went in to The Knowle for lunch today. Lovely welcome when we walked in, shown to a set table and presented with menu. All of the 4 of us had their club sandwich. Certainly delicious . Had travelled from London for a friends funeral and just what was needed. If you are in the area Find on your Google map and give it a go.
