Davefevs Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Bearing in mind i’ll have finished up work for Xmas, Joe will have finished school, so a chance of getting to an evening game nice and early, where is a good place to go around AG - also 12 year old friendly. I don’t be drinking because i’ll be driving, but it would be nice to get a bit of pre-match atmosphere in BS3. North St somewhere? Of course, I had thought about the Sports Bar, but i’ve just had an email, saying it’s 2 sittings, £40 per head, 3 courses, unlimited pizza per table...which although I could scoff enough pizza to get near to justifying it, is massive overkill for Joe - nor is the prosecco on arrival, much of a tempter. To be honest i’m A bit disappointed with the Offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Tobacco Factory is good mate Just a shame it's owned by an a********e ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Agree with BobBobSuperBob. Not keen on going in there due to ownership, but it's the only place that is bearable with a decent size wheelchair. We go in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 La Mediterranean on North Street is my eatery of choice for midweek games. Good food and good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hen and Chicken is ok and usually plenty of space. Food wait not too bad if you are early. (About 5 to half 5 ish.) Burgers and pizza are the order of the day. Next door is The Malago. Really chilled and hardly ever any footy fans. Never had any food in there but it looks ok. Might be worth checking out access beforehand and booking a table if that is where you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I use the Ashville pre match. Great food and good drink selection. Always good to pre book a table on match days though. Child friendly. Haven't seen wheelchairs, but plenty of large pushchairs. And if you like Steak...check out the 98 oz challenge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 There was a decent curry place sit down on North Street- think it's shut down now though. Wasn't posh or fancy, had a decent range also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, they want to make some money, but if the ten quid breakfast the other day was anything to go buy, you will probably have to make your own pizza and they won't have cheese or tomato available.

To be honest i’m A bit disappointed with the Offer. Given some of the other offers they've done recently, this one does seem to be taking the Mick somewhat. I've only just got over the ten quid breakfast that didn't have eggs or toast! Appreciate the club want to make some money, but a forty quid a head menu just smacks of the short sighted pub landlord who tries to charge his regulars for a ticket on New Years Eve and then gets narked when his pub is quiet during the week for the next 3 months. With the highly questionable service (sometimes great, sometimes shocking) in the sports bar, I hope the club have thought this through. Does make me question if the club have appreciated the spend of many over the last couple of years. @Mkelly be interested in how the forty quid figure was arrived at.

Been there thrice in recent years. 1st time the service was so appalling, despite the almost completely empty restaurant, that I thought we’d actually been abandoned at one point! 2nd time much the same despite being busier, we were in there for something like 3 hours just to have two courses, it was bordering on the ridiculous. 3rd time for a family meal....they completely forgot to cook what my fiancée ordered and then when they did whip it up, it was so disgusting that she couldn’t eat it - what little she did eat made her very sick overnight.

BRISTOL86 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 As a public service announcement - there’s a relatively new place opened up near me (BS30) called Mughal Palace and it’s probably the best Indian takeaway I’ve ever had, certainly since before Sagar changed ownership many many moons ago! I think it’s a sit down restaurant as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recently we were there on the Friday of the QF draw of the League Cup (what an afternoon that was eh) and it was up to it's usual high standard. Tasty food, big portions, nice Bangla beer and ready with a foil container at the end for you take home any leftovers. Job's a good 'un if you ask me.
