Booked here for Sunday lunch menu and I would definitely recommend. I had 2 starters as I was so hungry, the soup was delicious, it had that wonderful homemade feel and texture to it. The cheese soufflé was good, fun texture, but the flavour was a little bland, not as cheesy as I had anticipated. The roast itself was wonderful, my friend and I got the combo roast and our server Nicky was lovely enough to give us extra beef as we did not like turkey. The gravy was thick, flavourful. Personally I prefer my beef pink, but I was not disappointed! It was so tender, and so was the pork. The pork was amazing, so meaty, very little fat, and super tender, it passed the fork test. The sausage was a little lacklustre, quite salty, and a bit of a flat texture. Overall, it was delicious. My only disappointment was the service. Our server Nicky was lovely, but it was quite slow and at times, did not feel very attentive. We had to try to catch someone to get us another drink. However, I understand it’s Sunday and the restaurant was getting somewhat busy - good sign! If you want a chilled afternoon, not in a rush and good food. I would 100% recommend.

Firstly we were put at a horrible table opposite the serving hatch and kitchen entrance and next to the toilets. Horrible atmosphere here. We had two lovely servers a young lady and young gentleman. They were very attentive, polite and friendly. You could see they were busy but doing a great job. The female manager came across extremely rude and literally reprimanded our two servers right next to our table. We could hear everything and the two young servers looked quite deflated. I think it is highly unprofessional as a manager to reprimand staff in front of customers and I have worked in the trade. Also if unhappy choose a quieter time as an opportunity to train your staff to your expectations, don’t just shout at them. This is the worst management technique! The food was ok. I haven’t been to Clifton Sausage for a few years and quite frankly I was really disappointed with this visit. Bad table, mediocre food, stressed management with a power complex. I won’t be rushing to go back.

Looking for somewhere a little different for dinner I stumbled on this restaurant and decided to give it a go. And I'm glad I did! The place is lovely inside, and the staff were friendly and efficient. I ordered sweet roasted ribs as a starter, and they were fantastic... Cooked to perfection, succulent, sweet and slightly spicy, and the meat just fell off the bone. For the main course I had pork and stilton sausages on a bed of champ (potatoes and spring onions) with onion gravy. The sausages were of very high quality, tasted amazing, and the mash was creamy. The onion gravy was the perfect accompaniment too. For dessert I had a brownie with ice cream, which was a nice way to end the meal. I went on a Sunday, so this meal was the three course "Sunday lunch" offer, and it was honestly great value for money. Definitely somewhere I'd go again!

We decided to go to The Clifton Sausage for my wife's birthday. I booked the table in advance as it's a popular place in Clifton. A warm welcome from the staff , showed our table but the table was set only for 1 person even though I booked it for two. It was our first time so had to get some suggestions from the staff and recommendations was good. We had one lamb and pork sausage which was good. We also ordered some sides but red cabbage wasn't great. It was salty and tangy which was not enjoyable. However the main meal was delicious and portions were big. The sausages were cooked really well and it was delicious and juicy. For dessert we had sticky toffee pudding and it was fresh and delicious. Overall, it's a good place. Service could have been better.

Popped in one afternoon mid-week and received a very warm welcome by Sabrina (?). Lovely place with wooden tables. Menu looked interesting with a few classics, but the star was clearly the sausage. Shared a deep fried squid starter which was superb. Never had squid so tender and the batter was very tasty, too. My partner had the daily special black pudding mash and black pudding sausages. I went for champ and pork, leek, stilton sausages. Both dishes excellent. Puts bangers and mash to a whole new level! Very high quality bangers, lovely creamy mash and the gravy was almost black and full of flavour. Banging!!! (No pun intended 😜) Desserts didn't disappoint either so we left stuffed and happy.

We were expecting more. We went for a 2 courses Sunday roast for £19, 1 side and 1 pint of beer for almost £50. Sides are charged extra (for example the cauliflower with cheese is £4.5). We weren't asked how we wanted the meat cooked, the beer we asked for was gone and we were not given a good knife to cut the meat (we had to ask for that). We were not impressed by the service. I didn't like the mushroom soup but my wife did. The pork belly and beef were average. We previously went to another local pub in clifton that was not so highly rated and we ate better and spent less. Maybe the sausages are better? We left not satisfied as we were both expecting more.
