The Lodekka — Restaurant in Bristol

I've been coming to this place for months now and never got around to reviewing it.

The food is where I'd like to start, delicious every single time! The chicken breasts are succulent and tasty, the veg is lush, roast potatoes are crispy and fluffy, mashed potato is creamy and soft, if you pay an extra £2 you get extra yourshire puddings which are light and delicious, this makes the roast dinners one of the best in bristol I reckon!

I had to ask for extra gravy this time but they were only too happy to give me 2 pots free of charge.

Next is the staff, always very friendly and welcoming even when they're clearly very busy, always polite and very happy to make sure you have a nice time.

Prices, very reasonable considering how expensive everything is right now. They have specials every day of the week and on Thursdays you get a free starter or pudding with selected meals.

Sport is shown in the bar area whenever there's a game on, with sound and a projector.

Parking is plenty, and they have a bike rack out the back too.

This place is massive, they have lots of tables and only once have I not been able to get a table. They have many more tables in the rear garden which also have a play area for kids including a slide and fort. My son loves it here!

Big shout out to Jack who tends the bar, really nice kid who always remembers my drink and makes a real effort to make you feel at home!

You have to try this place, if you're a big group, book a table and they'll be prepared to give you...

To start with I have been wanting to visit since the pub was first opened but never had the chance until now. I was really looking forward to trying this place as always enjoyed other hungry horse pubs. A I was entering I had to walk past a group of people smoking at the entrance wich some places actually have designated areas for that wich would have made it better as it's a small area by the door and had to walk through the group. As we entered we was met at the door by a member of staff who checked are booking and took us to the table she seemed nice but could improve on the greeting. As we was lead threw the pub I liked the lay out of the place it was warm and inviting. We was taken to table 1 and having the time to notice things the end of the seat was falling apart and the menus had seen better days and was sticky. We ordered are food which arived quickly and was really nice I really enjoyed the food and would recommend it. Whilst we was there the pub was not to buisy all the time we was there. There is a 2 hours limit on the tables but being not to buisy I don't feel they would push that altho we had staters mains and desserts and went as a normal pace not rushing or taking are time and ran over the 2 hours by 15 minutes so if they do push the 2 hours limit you might want to keep eye on time and go at a pace to stay within the limit. I did enjoy my visit the food was great and will be returning. I hope to se some repairs done to keep the place looking nice...

My first time at the lodekka and my last omgg,I had the super breakfast orange juice and a espresso coffee, first thing first orange juice wasn't chilled coffee was tepid cup wasn't warmed first,in comes breakfast first impression looked spot on until you eat it, the beans were cold and so were the mushrooms,so back goes breakfast a lovely lady took away my cold breakfast and politely replaced after a wait. Breakfast no 2 was hot and absolutely floating in cooking oil,I can see why we have to start fracking in this country the lodekka is draining the country of its oil reserves lol, it took four tissues to soak up the shear massive oil slick on the plate,the toast comes with a knob of cheap and nasty margarine which tasted awful,you have a hard job cutting the sausages because the knife has no teeth on it and the skins were tough, the extra black pudding was ruined by the shear amount of oil on the plate,what a absolutely dreadful experience, one of the staff came over and asked if my breakfast was OK I politely told her about the shear amount of oil used,she politely replied it is a fried breakfast so if you have poached eggs then the breakfast will be floating with water lol the bacon was soaked in oil oh it was awful.PLEAE GO ELSEWHERE DONT...
