"I felt actual joy at finding this pub. Had lunch there on Saturday. My partner and I like to get out weekends to explore and I love real, fresh beer, so we go to pubs for lunch a fair bit. It’s always a bit suspenseful. Will the beer be good, or will I have to have lager? Is the food honest? By which I mean local, tasty, prepared with skill and care, with the price appropriate to what you get. I’d rather a ham sandwich and pickled egg to those vast, laminated menus offering factory-made crowd pleasers from the freezer, that you pore over to find the thing they’re least likely to ruin. In the round, the experience is mixed, with enough instances of bad or disputable beer, over-priced, mediocre food and indifferent service for disappointment to be a risk. Not so here. The greeting by staff was warm and enthusiastic, the atmosphere happy and orderly. The garden, where we elected to sit, was pleasant and intimate. They’d rigged up stalls around the perimeter that give a private-dining feel even though you can still soak up the ambience. It was a bit chilly, but there are on-demand heaters. When I asked about the beer, the waiter was knowledgable and invited me to try a couple on spec. I settled for a pint of Independence, from the Bristol Beer Factory, and it was flawless and beautiful. They’d fulfilled the brewer’s vision. I could have cried. They care about beer! There were three of us, all hungry, and we ordered a little over-eagerly from the starters and small plates. Ham croquettes, prawn croquettes, chilli duck wings, glazed ox cheek, crab on toast with pickled fennel, steak with anchovy butter, flatbread with smoky pepper purée. All surprising, imaginatively-conceived, confidently executed, and delicious. It all came at once, as we’d asked, and I found it a bit daunting, not knowing what to have next. Next time we’ll order a couple of plates and savour them at leisure before ordering more. About the small plates: people accustomed to the starter-and-main paradigm might have questions about value for money. It suits me. I often order two starters and no main because I find mains oppressive in their needless bulk, and I hate wasting food. In my view, the quantity on each ‘small’ plate was generous. The toast, piled with crab paté and topped with pickled vegetables, was £7, and it would have filled me up on its own. As a point of comparison, a Whopper meal deal at Burger King, with fries and a Coke, is £6.99. Nothing against Whoppers, but sometimes you want to taste the earth’s magic. Note, this is a pub, not a restaurant occupying a pub. You don’t have to eat. The staff – who seem to enjoy themselves and to be proud of what they’re doing – want you to enjoy the beer as much as the food. Walk in drinkers are welcome, especially drinkers who might at some point get peckish. It’s a pub made for me."

Had a fantastic lunch at The Grace. Food wine reasonably priced, absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly, welcoming and added to the general calm feel of the pub. Would absolutely go back.

This restaurant is a wonderful place with a beautiful garden, tasty wine, and welcoming bar staff. I definitely recommend it. I've also heard great things about their Sunday roast, although I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Ver carta

Went for New Year’s Eve and was very pleased with our experience. The service was friendly, some good beers on offer and the food was brilliant. It’s not the cheapest but there were so many interesting flavours and well worth a visit.

We absolutely adore this restaurant. We went there for drinks, enjoying fabulous beers and cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. The place is very welcoming to both dogs and people. The following day, we came back for the Sunday roast, which was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the Bloody Mary was perfect! The only downside for us is that it's not our neighborhood restaurant, as we were only visiting Bristol for the New Year.

I recently moved around the corner from the grace and I feel really lucky it’s my local pub. It’s always such a great atmosphere. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I have always been able to book a table and the grace have always been very responsive. There is really good selection of drinks and very reasonably priced. I always enjoy going here and feel like it’s appropriate for any groups, I have been with family members and friends and both groups have had a great time. Ver carta

Excellent service from friendly and helpful team. Beautifully cooked and presented dishes with some creative and tasty combinations in the 'Iittle plates ' section of the menu. Don 't miss the triple cooked chunks on the side, they 're lovely. The Grace catered effortlessly with a table of 9 that included a mix of vegetarians, vegans and a coeliac. Went out of their way to ensure everyone was happy with their meal choices and had a good choice of vegan wine for those who wanted it too. Everyone very impressed, had a great evening, thank you!

The food was excellent, I had the beef and it was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were perfect and the cauliflower cheese was the the best ! Dessert was Summer akin to an Erin Mess and again the only problem was that I did not have enough room for a second helping. The Staff were attentive but not annoying in any way. Pleasantly surprised to have a new carafe of tap water provided without needing to ask. We were in the middle section that opened up to the garden. This allowed fresh air to circulate, it is VERY hot today so this was an ideal compromise. Should I have chance to eat here again I will not hesitate !

"Visited here in Sept 23 for an executive dinner that we were hosting for various senior business leaders. We booked out the whole venue, which was the perfect size and atmosphere for the intimate and exclusive feel that we wanted, plus a convenient location. The TV that shows into the kitchen was fascinating, and the record player was put to use towards the end of the evening! Caroline from the venue helped us organise the event in advance and was great to deal with. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to enjoy a welcome drinks reception out the front of the venue, and have the door open all evening to let the balmy night in. We had the 7 course taster menu and it was simply OUTSTANDING so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was, particularly the beef steak course! It was so tasty that I even enjoyed the fish dish (not usual for me! . Service on the night was exemplary, the courses were brought out at just the right intervals so you weren't waiting ages but also not being rushed. The chef came out to greet us after the final course, which was a lovely touch and meant we could thank him. Overall, we had really great feedback from our guests, everyone loved it thank you for making our event such a success! We would definitely book again, and I know a few of our guests have already recommended it to their own companies for executive dinners! Would not hesitate to recommend."
