The Poacher Portishead bristol

Had Sunday lunch here today with my family. My Granddaughter had children’s tomato pasta with garlic bread which she loved. The rest of us all had roast beef. There was a choice of size. £13 or £16. It was absolutely fantastic. Tasty meat, great Yorkshire’s and all the veg was lovely. A couple of us also had dessert. Sticky toffee pudding and a caramel cake which we really enjoyed. The barmaid/waitress was brilliant. She really looked after us well. Will be back soon.

Like the ambiance very much. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely coffee and hot chocolate. Didnt eat, but others food looked yummy. Very child and doggy friendly too. I recommend, definitely,

First visit to this local pub. Nice light and airy feel to the place with plenty of seating both inside and out. Recently refurbed and well done. No problems with parking here and flat easy access to bar and eating areas. Friendly, prompt service from staff with a varied menu selection.

The Poacher has a lovely atmosphere and is nicely redeveloped. I stayed last night and the rooms are clean and functional, and the staff made an effort to arrange for my breakfast so i could make an early start. competitively priced warm and friendly, the breakfast was excellent too.

We have been to the Poacher many times over the last 5 years. It has been in many hands but the current managers are the best yet. We went for Sunday lunch. All staff friendly and helpful. We will definitely go again, in fact we are going tonight to try their Tuesday offerings.

What an absolute gem! My friend and I popped in on Sunday evening at around 20:30. We were greeted by a couple of very friendly locals and equally pleasant staff and the landlord. Surprisingly, they were generous enough to place dishes of leftover roast potatoes - from the Sunday menu - around the bar and tables in nice big white roasting dishes, along with side plates and cutlery, for patrons to help themselves gratis! They went down very nicely with the couple of pints of perfectly stored/poured Guinness I had. My friend ate enough of them to sink a hefty seagoing vessel too! We very much enjoyed the comfy Chesterfield-style sofas next to a log burner (wasn't lit due to it being very quiet and already generously heated). Had I not already had a skinfull, I'd have happily sat for hours sinking many pints of perfect Guinness! Beautifully decorated with a comfortable and tasteful ambience. I've become very fond of this place already (can you tell?!) and highly recommend it. We'll be trying the menu next time, which I'll review in due course. Thank you for a lovely couple of hours!

Great place to go to for meeting up with friends for a drink. Great selection of beers on tap. Food is excellent and tasty. If you like pub quizzes go there on a Wednesday night.

Good to see a pub staying open until 11pm. Nice selection of drinks and very welcoming on a cold pre-Christmas evening.

Stayed here with family in December 2021 and we had a very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious.

Food and service was good. Unfortunately the food went cold quickly. Just needs to be served on a not plate.
