Excellent place to learn some really interesting things about Bristol and its floating habour, and its wonderful, mind blowing hydraulic power system that effectively ran the once thriving Bristol docks...Before the creation of the floating harbour, the docks were tidal, and so when the tide went out the ships would settle on the river bed...and everything that was not tied down and safely stored moved...hence the expression "ship shape and Bristol fashion"

I found it really interesting learning about the engineering history of Bristol at the Underfall Yard. I had no idea how much work goes into maintaining the docks and how much these have changed over the centuries. The exhibition pays homage to the great minds, past and present, who helped to make Bristol one of the biggest ports in the world and who have continued to work hard to maintain the city that we know today.

Out son had sailing from here with cubs so we thought we would all go down as a family and watch. Not been to Pickle before but have walked by before and thought it always looked nice. It did not disappoint, great food and friendly staff and well as having interesting interactive things for the children to do. We will be going back again very soon.

Was having a nice time until staff came to tell my toddler to stop playing with the rope. He was just holding it. It's designed to hold this while canopy down through a storm. It would take tonnes of pressure to break the rope or hooks, many many tonnes. My toddler is that strong. I just wanted to be left in peace to enjoy my beverage.
