Bristol Inn

"Very pleasant, lovely Buffet done for my son's wake. ( Free)"

"My local pub.. run now by the very capable Sam (who used to be the chef at the crab apple apparently) .. staff are friendly the locals are local. Great place to stop off after work have a quick pint and then stagger up the hill regretting that extra cider! Still run by Sam as far as I know."

"My Father visited this pub (77yrs of age), wasn't told there was a car park that you needed to pay. He now has a debt recovery agent after him for £170. You had a new bar member, I'd like your help please. We have lost our Mum to mixed dementia."

"Parking scam. Do not visit Went for a drink two weeks ago. We were there 30mins and now have a £60 parking fine. The sign as you enter says “Customer parking 11:00 to midnight”. There is nothing clear to suggest not parking there while using the establishment. There should be clear signage starting their ludicrous system, and there quite simply isn’t. Very deceptive and borderline criminal. Will never visit this place again and will ensure none of my friends and family do. Disgusted. With regards Bristol inn’s response: Firstly, there is no additional signage in the car park. Just the sign stating “customers only” with a time window in alignment with pub opening times, this is deceiving and wouldn’t raise alarm bells. Many pubs have a private land sign stating patrons only, this isn’t dissimilar, and it certainly doesn’t state anything about penalty fees or a parking system. If there is no parking and there are penalty fees it should be clear. (“No parking, penalty fees apply” and certainly no mention of “Customers only and a time window in alignment with pub opening times) The detail should be displayed in the car park, but it isn’t. You mention about the console at the end of the bar. I’ve never noticed this, I simply went to the centre of the bar where the bar staff are, and not once has anything been mentioned to me about the parking system. It would seem this is the same with the dozens of other frustrated customers who have posted reviews regarding this. It’s just not good enough. You are shying away from the fact your customers are being scammed with the screen of it’s not our problem, it’s not our car park. is is your problem and is surely your responsibility to ensure the signage is clear and that your customers are protected. You don’t make every effort to inform costumers. I wasn’t informed and neither were the dozens of other customers who have wrote reviews about this topic. If we were aware we wouldn’t have bloody parked there and thrown away £60. I did try to call yesterday, the call went to answerphone and guess what. The main topic on the recording is about parking fines. (If you are enquiring about a parking fine please contact the parking company directly, we do own the car park etc, etc) This clearly confirms you know there is a problem, and equally highlights your lack of care or compassion with regards rectifying it. I have visited other pubs who operate parking fee systems and impose penalties, and all have been clearly signed regarding this. Yours isn’t. There’s no way I will pay your fine."

"Stumbled across this little gem en route to Cornwall and what a find it was. A genuine warm greeting with quality freshly cooked home food to match. Great menu with sizeable portions so come Hungry!"
