Trip Advisor

We had our wedding here in July and it was the most perfect day! All of our 120 guests said how it was the perfect venue for the day and commented on how beautiful it was and how safe they felt. Amy was absolutely incredible the whole way through the process. She was organised and friendly whilst also making sure we felt in good hands. Amy, you are truly a diamond! Her and her team couldn’t have worked harder to make our day special – they set up the pub to look exactly how we wanted it to and there was never a wait at the bar for service during the day. And the food! OMG the food was unreal! Our guests’ plates were loaded up so high and it tasted delicious. We went for the Deluxe BBQ menu and you couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Amy and your team. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and you went that extra mile to make it perfect. In addition to our special day, we have been a handful of times for a drink and/or for food and have never been let down. Best pub in Bristol? It’s not even close. It’s the best pub in the UK!

We were extremely lucky to hold our wedding reception at The Gloucester Old Spot the beginning of May. Amy and her team were honestly the best, helping us with every aspect from start to finish, both professionally and super friendly! We had so many compliments from our guests on the food, it was all beautifully presented and tasted just as lovely. The venue really is gorgeous, and suited just what we were after. A casual but quirky affair, and not too far from the centre of Bristol. We would not hesitate to come back for any future events we may have. We look forward to coming back to try the famous roast dinners! Thanks so much to the team for making our day so special, it’s a day we’ll never forget.

Amazing lunch and service. Visited the pub for lunch, friendly and super helpful staff, the toastie menu is great, we had bbq beef brisket with home made soup and fries, would highly recommend a visit here.

5 Star Service. Great place. Love the decor and the food was delicious. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating so all in all a fantastic time had by all. Thank you.

Fantastic food choices, atmosphere and helpful staff. What a gem. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting. I have a dairy allergy they catered for me with a large selection of meal choices. The Staff were knowledgeable and helpful which made the evening extremely enjoyable. The prices were competitive especially at this time, with the cost of living so expensive. There is a garden area with a covered, heated marquee for the dining experience outside. Thoroughly recommend.

Sunday Roast Smashing It. The best Sunday Roast in the whole of Bristol. The staff are very attentive so much so we have booked again this Sunday. Can’t wait. Keep up the good work GOS. The quality of food is what we all want.

Great Pub. Exceptional Customer Service. Really nice pub. Didn’t eat but the Sunday roasts looked very good. Big garden. Great for families. I asked the bar man if they had pork scratchings, which they didn’t, however he said he would ask the chef if we can have a bowl of crackling from the pork roasts. I was actually surprised that he came back with a large bowl full. A great example of going above and beyond to satisfy the customer from both the bar, and kitchen staff and deserves a 5 star review!

Great place! Thank you for your fantastic service. The waitress was so lovely, making us feel welcome and giving us blankets and hot water bottles to keep us cosy! Good food, arrived really quickly too! We had a great time! Congratulations on doing such a good job!

Lunch today was superb. We were nervous as this was first pub visit after lockdown. So organised. We felt very safe but still totally relaxed. Staff attentive but careful. Very clear signage and beautiful surroundings. Obviously run by someone proud of their pub. Will be back again soon. Thank you.

From the moment we arrived, any anxiety about COVID-19 and being back in a pub again was blown away with a quick bite to eat and a couple of pints at the Gloucester Old Spot. From the moment the young lady met us at the door and explained how everything was working, it was obvious they have worked hard to ensure a slick and safe service. We hope this is the norm everywhere if not now but soon. I highly recommend the lentil burger and my friend said the Cajun Chicken burger was tasty too. 10/10 for this visit, would be 11 if it worked like that due to being called Kitten by the waitress . We look forward to seeing them all again soon.
