We booked in advance and walked to Caper, as we approached we could hear off tune rapping pumping out of the Collective. As we approached it got louder and the strong smell of ganja assailed our senses. As we waited for the red man to turn to green I felt the rhythm build within my soul. I was about to break out into the groove of things when I remembered white guys can’t dance. I resisted the temptation. I sighed with relief when the man turned green and we grooved across the road. On entering the Caper we were surrounded by the sound and ambience of zen. The decor was comforting to the eye, or had I breathed in the ganja too deeply. The lighting was just right, the natural light filled the area and there was a family seated at a table across from ours. The lady who greeted us was very friendly and we were shown to our table. We began with 6 oysters, so good they were followed by another 6. A Negroni and a girly cocktail were had with the oysters. I chose an English wine, the menu said it was unfiltered, but when I checked the bottle it looked fine. The wine was very good indeed, but the label on the bottle was a little childish in design. Crab and tortellini followed the oysters, both dishes were outstanding. Would recommend. For the mains we had stone bass, a good fish we had not tried before. The beans were the star attraction in mains dish. Flavor combinations were well thought out. Desert was a bit of this and that, chocolate moose, the sorbet, the creme fresh ice cream and the affogato. All good, and yummy when mixed up on the same spoonful. It was a lovely dinner, great food, great ambience, and great service. When we left it was a little cooler and the afro beats had ceased, the walk back the hotel was cool, pleasant...

Service: Kind and perfect. Three of servers all. I appreciate it
Atmosphere: Calm and peaceful. If youre tired of vibe of the pub and want to experience restaurant's vibe for sunday roast, this is perfect place.
Food: Absolutely stunning
Pork Belly: It was nicely cooked, and it didnt make my gut uncomfortable because the amount of salt was perfect. Appropriate amount of salt on crackling outside and meat was mild, which was so great. When it comes to texture, crackling was crunchy, meat didnt have any bad smell and medium~medium well done
Sauces: Red sauce might be from beet but im not sure. It has a liitle bit smell of soil so it would depends on ppl whether it will be good or not. Personally, I prefer mix it with gravy sauce and then have it with vegetables, which was good. For me vegetables with just red sauce didnt go well but i think others can feel different. Yellow sauce has flavour of peach, which is rlly good for washing mouth after you feel greasy. It made my mouth fresh. Both sauces were also good in terms of visual.
Potatoes and vegetables: vegetables were perfect. For potatoes, they were a little bit salty but not much that this can hurt other thing's flavour.
Yorkshire Pudding: Not bad, not good. Neutral
It was sooooooo nice that I even licked up all the sauces. Next time, if I have a chance, I will visit here again with my friends.
Thank you for...
Read moreSunday roast today at one of Bristols most talked about location for Sunday lunch. This is the best roast I’ve had in the city so far!
For starters I chose the Steak Tartar which was incredible! The potato was super crispy and I loved how the mushrooms added a hint of acidity - I think they had been soaked in some sort of vinegar. I did feel like the fried potato took over the taste of the tartar so potentially would’ve added more steak to offset that but still 10/10.
My friend chose the Ham Hock Terrine which was also stunning, would 100% order that next time!
I went for the Pork Shoulder which came with crispy crackling, buttered veg, Yorkshire pudding and roast potato’s. My friend chose the beef.
All in all, this was one of my favourite roasts of all time (with the exception of my nan’s which sadly cannot be beaten). We would have liked more gravy and smaller potato’s (because who doesn’t like that extra crisp?!). The meat was cooked perfectly, portion size spot on, one of the best Yorkshire’s I’ve had and I’ve never enjoyed veg on a roast as much as I did here.
Sadly we didn’t have room for dessert but the treacle tart on the specials board sounded insane.
Would love to visit again and try their...
