The Clifton, Clifton Village, Bristol

Here at The Clifton, as in our pubs in Wales, we serve good quality food and drinks in relaxed and informal surroundings.

Our pub is a thriving local watering hole that has been keeping locals’ thirst at bay for many years. We still do exactly that, with great ales, interesting wines, homemade seasonal drinks and delicious bar snacks.

Alongside the bar, we offer a daily changing, seasonal menu in our dining rooms. Head Chef Cory was Tom’s Sous Chef at the Hare & Hounds, and offers his own style here at The Clifton. We’ve had a custom made Parrilla Grill built, so Cory is cooking over fire, with big focus on sharing and feasting dishes. We aim to build strong relationships with artisan suppliers in the surrounding Bristol area, as well as using produce from our own smallholding. As with our other pubs, seasonality is at the heart of what we do, and the focus is on short supply chains. The food ethos echos ‘Nose to Tail’ British cooking, with the influence of the wood fire.

Everything is made from scratch in our kitchen, from our own sourdough bread and cultured butter, to fresh pasta. This is not pretentious fine dining; its just about good food, whether you’ve been for a long walk with your dog or have got something to celebrate. We’re very excited to bring our regional cooking to Bristol!

Food

Our menus all change twice a day with the seasons, and can be served in the bar, dining room or at the counter. Locality and seasonality is key, and the menu reflects the best of the days local produce.

At Lunch we offer our Lunch Saver Menu (2 dishes and a drink) or A La Carte, apart from on a Sunday, where we have a Sunday Lunch Menu. Our menu is written so that you can eat how you prefer, whether it’s ordering a few dishes to share, or your own A La Carte meal. We also write feasting menus for large parties, email us for more information.
