Amazing food. Great atmosphere. I had veggie Sunday roast which was superb. Everyone in party of six was very happy, well worth a visit.

The staff were very hospitable and polite.The food was well lets just say I can see why it's such a long wait for a roastVegetarian options: They offer vegetarian options Sunday and all other days. I will be going back during a mid week to try the menu and the panko tofu katsu curry is definitely one off many dishes I will be havingKid-friendliness: My two children were welcomed and treated very well. most places usually ignore children and only ask adults how things are at the bank they were engaging with them aswell

There’s a reason why this place has a years long waiting list-without a doubt the best roast you’ll ever eat.Don’t overlook their daily menu either-they do amazing burgers and lunch options. Also one of the best pubs in Bristol for an after work pint or a bit of bandeoke!

i can't comment on the food, however they sell a lovely and very local cider I can definitely recommend. (this review is #1000 by the way)

Long waiting list for Sunday lunch. Tiny venue but the food is great.

Great roast at the bank tavern. Small establishment so you can appreciate the high demand. Service was quick, staff were friendly.

Well... I was lucky enough to sneak in here for a sunday roast, despite a waiting list of 2+ years! My friend was attending and had a cancellation! Thank goodness they did because my roast was banging! I tend to judge roast dinners out, on their roast potato's... they were crispy and succulent and not what you'd expect from a pub roast dinner. The beef was a teeeeeeny bit tough... well a slice of it was, the other slice was gorgeous and tender. However all of it was cooked to perfection and had a red tinge to it. Juicy and delicious. The celeriac puree had us all talking at the table. It added such great flavours to the whole meal. The cheesy leeks were gorgeous. The service was great, friendly staff, the owner was attentive. We had a few late stragglers and they were OK with that. I believe each booked table has around 1.5-2 hours so bear that in mind. Wine was great, lovely selection on the list. I can't comment on starters or dessert (gutted, I was peer pressured out!) But from what I saw this follows suit. Reasonably priced, around £18 something for a roast. I would love to come again but I doubt I'll be able for many years! Another bonus that we got to meet a well known TV chef amd I was interviewed for a well known prime daytime TV program! I did spot a couple of tables of one, which I may try and hit up in the future!
