Hole In The Wall Bristol

Tonight we visited the historical hole in the wall. So-called as the hole in the wall was used hundreds of years ago by people avoiding the press gang and they believe Robert Louis Stevenson wrote treasure Island right there. Back to the food, we had the crab and chorizo linguine with scallops. We also had the belly pork with scallops. The scallops were cooked to perfection and all the food was fresh and very tasty. We followed it up with the trio of desserts which was just right and a good selection. Service was excellent.

We had booked a table in the restaurant but decided to eat in the bar area instead as there was a roaring fire there which added to the ambience on a cold day. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent.

Had a lovely meal (compliments to the chef) the food was presented well and was very tasty, Really friendly staff who catered to all our needs. The restaurant was nicely presented and clean, Will definitely be back with family for an evening and their Sunday Lunch as heard there really good. Highly recommended this venue.

The staff were welcoming and Abbie was a wonderful waitress. Food great served promptly, allowed us time between courses, Overall amazing, a little noise from downstairs but that didn't spoil our evening

I’ve visited so many times and always received a reasonable level of service and on occasion very good service however, today despite booking online and confirming my booking, the restaurant didn’t have my reservation and I was made to feel really unwelcome as I was told they had large parties! This was meant to be a Christmas lunch for myself and a customer. Reluctantly we were given a table after wr had to push do you have a table or not! The staff made it clear that walk ins were not being taken, even though I provided my email confirmation that I had pre-booked, so not a great welcome or start! The mulled wine ordered was virtually cold and the service and the rest of the meal followed the same unwelcoming vain. When ordering food we were told what we wanted wasn’t on the menu , even though it was on the menu and again the order reluctantly taken. The chips arrived for my customersMeal stone cold, the rest of the food was ok. The sparkling water with lime cordial arrived with water with a slice of lime and then finally the coffee arrived also virtually stone cold! I was so disappointed, this was meant to be our Christmas lunch, ended up pretty disastrous meal and made to feel really unwelcome
