Visited The Churchill with family, unsure what to expect here, greeted by lovely lady who made us all feel welcome and homely, this set the atmosphere off too how the rest of the trip was going to go.
Smallish menu packed with country pub favourites, smaller dishes and quality specials board.
This is a proper country pub! All the dishes cooked in house with that homemade feel, not the standard run of the mill (chain pub) menus.
Ordered a potato and leak soup for starters, with garlic cheesy bread.
Soup was thick, flavourful, almost mash potato but loosened with cream, served with fresh bread and butter really good dish for a winters day, coupled with a thick loaf of cheesy garlic bread, again freshly made not straight out a freezer.
Ordered the beef chilli for main - huge portion, again home made chilli, really nice depth of flavour across the dish. Chilli had nice array of veg, not just the standard meat and some seasonings. Plenty of onion, kidney beans, chickpea, celery, mushroom, tomatoes and more. Real filling dish with side of rice, fresh salad and slice of garlic bread.
Family also ordered - omelette, hunters chicken, and gammon everyone’s plate was full with fresh produce and good presentation on the plate.
I’d like to thank the staff here for being attentive and really helpful and welcoming. Really brings country pub feel to the visit!
If it’s country pub, with cosy seating, good quality homemade food and feeling welcome this place is worth the visit!!
Overall will score this visit a solid 8/10!
Will definitely return and for adult family of 5 the bill was very reasonable!
Well done to the team at The...
Read moreFirst but not last! I have past The Chuchill inn countless times over the years but never paid a visit until this week. Living in Downend north Bristol it's not on my door step these days. So having paid a visit to Cadbury garden centre at Congsbury I took the short trip there to have lunch. Arriving circa12.15am the good sized car park already had spaces taken .Once inside we (My wife and i)we're greeted warmly by I think is the landlord Adam .we sat down and the service was prompt efficient. As we received are meal the place began to fill up the well arranged dining tables .My wife and myself decided on a cheese and ham omelette which comes with chips and a small salad.Turns out we made a great decision. The omelettes were delightful! Made with real ham and of course Cheddar cheese! and as an extra treat home grown free range eggs.With proper chips and a lovely salad topped with cress and a chunk of pineapple are lunch turned out to be the best we have had at pub for a long time .The cooking was done by Adams mum with her keeping an eye on her grandchild who kept the guests amused. So three generations of service then? lovely. The Chuchill inn is a good old fashioned pub with no ares and graces just very good quality service. I am sure it won't be long before I return safe in the knowledge I will receive a warm welcome and a lovely dining experience....
Read morePopped in at midday on a Sunday on the off chance without booking on the way to Bristol International Airport and glad we did. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and managed to fit us in even though they had several bookings for Sunday Lunch. They needed the table by 1pm which gave us time to eat as we had a check-in to get to! Ordered the Roast. Excellent food with a variety of vegetables complete with additional portions of vegetables as a side included. Will certainly eat here again when flying out of Bristol.
Update 13th April 2024:
Stopped off here again after flying into Bristol Airport as we knew from previous experience that the food was good. We're weren't disappointed! Good selection on the menu with a Specials Board for additional choices. Both decided on the Beef and Stilton Pie from the Specials board. They came in their own individual dish with a crispy pastry crust on top, piping hot with chips, peas, and a gravy boat to share. The meat was really tender, and you could certainly taste the stilton. Again, the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Can recommend this Inn, especially if you're flying in or out of Bristol Airport as it is approx 10 mins and 6 miles away. We...
