Had the best service and food at The Pump House last night. We had the allotment starter, the gurnard and their new pumpkin tart dish. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff were lovely and adapted the menu to suit one member of our party who is gluten free. Great experience all round. Only rated atmosphere as slightly lower because it was very quiet that evening but we’ve been before when it’s been a great atmosphere.

The food and service were excellent. Lovely sunny autumn day. Me and my son enjoyed a roast in the garden. They provide half portions of all the adult meals for kids which is a plus.Table service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great Sunday roast lunch. Bottle of Lebanese wine helped. Delivered hot and we even had dessert it was too good to miss. Nice inside. Walk in, not booked.

Whilst based in Bath we had a day out in Bristol and decided to walk up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and found the Pump House on the way. Sitting outside in the sunshine we had poached eggs, black pudding and potato rosti which was absolutely delicious.

A recent visit was great. We sat outside making the most of some sunshine. Service was great - we had it explained that it was full table service and we could choose any table we liked. Brunch, lunch and drink menus were brought to us. Drinks were served quickly and lunch mains took a while (45 minutes ish) but when they arrived they were very good quality and deliciously fresh. A great place to stop on a sunny lunchtime.

We have been visiting the Pump House for over forty years and in that time it has changed a lot - sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. The views remain the same and it is a great place to sit by the lockside with your favourite tipple. The brunch food is currently really good - freshly cooked - and I particularly recommend the BLT. Located by the Cumberland Basin, it is a good place for a break as you walk around the harbour. There is a small amount of parking for the less energetic.

★★★★☆ 4/5
Food excellent. Waited far too long for service as if being ignored even though we had booked table. Spoke to staff, manageress stepped in, very politely and things got moving. Quality of food saved the day. There seems to be a tendency for eateries to keep you waiting especially after your initial drinks round. If that is to encourage you to buy more drinks then it should stop. Next time I am kept unnecessarily hanging about I will try elsewhere.

Beautifully maintained pub, love the grounds, plants, flowers and decor. Very well cleaned and kept. Servers were polite and professional, it was a glorious day, so we sat out front and enjoyed my Pulped peach Melba cider, gorgeous!!
