Re-branding as a chop house and grill was an intriguing and perhaps misguided decision for what is a pretty pricey Redland pub. This has resulted in a bit of an identity crisis. Bad move.Vegetarian options: Not great.

Had veggie roast today on our 2nd visit. Overall food very good.Feels slightly steep re price, paying nearly £90 for a main, dessert, and 1 drink each for two people. Service friendly though took a while for orders to be taken. Dog friendly which is a good plus. Veg and meat roasts here are same price which is not something we are used to as veg options generally cheaper elsewhere. The veg roast itself was very tasty, really enjoyed, however the serving size is on the small side, so you are wishing for more.

After a couple of visits that weren’t great the Kenny seems to have returned to its best. We had a beautifully cooked and well priced lunch here.

Fantastic public house, excellent variety of really good alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as you'd expect but the real star here is the food, extremely high quality! not your normal pub grub, more like fine dining, also has a small function room above the bar for private hire!

Slightly disappointing experience overall both on service and quality of food. Could not recommend based on this experience.

Gatropub means you arrive hungry and leave hungry. But very good food compensates somewhat.

My daughter organised a secret 'do' for my 70th birthday in a private room upstairs in this lovely place!Food was delicious as all my guests agreed.Service was top notch and the staff were happy and attentive!All of us had a very positive and happy experience and we'll be back!Vegetarian options: 2 vegetarian guests were very pleased with so many options that were perfect eating.Dietary restrictions: My Granddaughter has many severe allergies and was very happy with her meal.Kid-friendliness: Seven Grandchildren at the event who had a great experience(they loved the fries especially)
Best roast I've ever had, not much else to say! £40 for 3 course and worth every

We (group of 4) ate on a Friday eve, absolutely lovely food and great service that was friendly and quick. It’s well above pub grub level, great for passionate foodies. No parking.

In a word, disappointing.Came here with high expectations. Nice atmosphere and looks like a good gastro pub. We came for the supposedly renowned Sunday Roast, but unfortunately the food was poor and severely overpriced (for info, they charge £27.50 for two courses, £35 for three).Our order: 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert, two pints and two glasses of mid-range wine: £110.Starter: a pork and black pudding terrine which was quite nice, the chutney was good but no better than a standard caramelised onion chutney, and a handful of cornichons. There was only one small piece of toast to go with it which was stingy - there should be at least two given the portion. 6/10Main: the roast beef, where to start... first point to make is that most of the dish was room temperature or cold upon arrival. Two small slices of beef, where a quarter of each slice was fat. The actual beef was tasty, but a stingy portion and poor quality. Roast potatoes were not crunchy or seasoned, the Yorkshire pudding tasted like it had been left out for a long time, and had no flavour, I didn't notice the celeriac and thyme puree on the plate though it's stated on the menu, the singular roasted heritage carrot was ok, mixed greens were cold and flavourless, the cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese was very undercooked, a tiny portion of beetroot and no peas, although they are stated on the menu. The gravy was thin but had flavour, although a tiny portion which didn't even cover the plate, and the red cabbage which was sweet and rich and probably the best item on the plate. All in all, very disappointing and measly portions! 2/10Wine: The English rosé and valpolicella ripasso, good but expensive for glasses; £7/8 for small and £11/12 for 250ml. 6/10Dessert: shared the sticky ale pudding, nice but tasted like every other sticky toffee pudding. 6/10Some extra points: The salt grinder did not work, which should have been checked before service. The tap water did not taste fresh, not sure if this was the water, ice or glasses.It wasn't just us who were disappointed; a person next to us sent the roast beef back as it was too fatty, and was then presented with either the same plate again, or a very similar looking serving. Can't imagine they were very pleased!Given the setting, reviews and prices, we expected excellent food, but it is a very poor roast and absolutely not value for money. I hope the management sees this and drastically improves the quality, portions and service time once plated (given the cold food) of the dishes. Would not recommend.

Sunday lunch was outstanding and our second visit in last couple of months. Consistently excellent food. Quality of the food is excellent and chefs care and attention is breathtaking. Wonderful meal.
