Cracking start to life in Bristol, we have waited a long time for this.We started with an aperitif which was lovely, however we were expecting to drink it before we started our meal and unfortunately the first course arrived not long after the glass arrived.The cheesy chip however for incredible, flavours bouncing all round my mouth, great start.Scampi and peas were delightful.Next up steak pie and wife is not a fan of steak tartare but ploughed through it, probably our least favourite and could have done with more seasoning, however the rich consommé that accompanied was a dream, took me back to the days standing on the terraces at half time drinking Bovril, I could of drank a pint of it.Fish supper was clean, cooked beautifully and the scraps certainly took me back to the seaside as a kid.The Smoked sausage arrived with the theatre that matched our server Josh, and the pork belly didn't disappoint, lovely the way Celeriac was used, don't see on a lot of menus, very underutilised and underrated in my eyes.Finally, we finished with the star of show - deep fried Mars Bar and irn bru sorbet - wow!! I eat in many Michelin star restaurants, and this was the best dessert I have had in years - The delice was exquisite, with gel squeezing out with every dip of my spoon and the sorbet was simply out of this world, I could of gone back for more.Pros: Food and Staff were excellent; the restaurant itself has been fitted beautifully. The price will make fine dining accessible to all and the restaurant had a mix of Instagram’s through to older generations out celebrating well cooked food.Cons: We have arrived 15mins earlier for a 2:30 sitting and it felt a little rushed, I am glad we didn't order extra courses as the 2 hours to get through more than 6 courses would have been a struggle.When ordering wine its customary to taste before the glasses are filled but given this arrived whilst we had just started our aperitif it would have been difficult anyway.Will I go back, hell yeh but perhaps I will take an evening book when perhaps the table won’t be needed back in 2 hours.
