Wiper and True Brewery & Taproom, Old Market — Restaurant in Bristol

Quite the disappointment really. I’ve done a lot a breweries and taprooms and this one just didn’t seem to come up to scratch, especially considering some of the other offerings in Bristol. The beers were fine, but little more than that, mainly pales on the menu. The biggest shame for me was the food.

The website clearly states that have a pizza offering, but the didn’t. Instead we had to go with the Japanese street food. To my mind the gyoza were too swamped with oil and sauce, which left them quite greasy. The fried chicken rice bowls did not seem to have been assembled with great care, again, totally over powered with WAY too many crispy fried onions and sauce.

We were told it would be coming back soon... a year on...nothing doing. Hope this doesn't come across as a bit harsh, just an honest opinion...

Good selection of drinks and a large seating area both inside and outside. Eatchu have a mobile takeaway there that does excellent food and more choices than the St Nick's one. We went for the pub quiz which had good prizes and a nice variety of questions, but the sound system was terrible and we struggled to hear questions, mostly because we were at the back next to the speakers for the bar. Make sure if you do go to the quiz to sit in the area inside furthest away from the bar which no one told us about when we arrived despite been sat at a table and one of the staff asking if we were there for the quiz whilst handing...
