Broken Dock Kitchen & Bar

A lovely bar in a very pretty part of the docks, very friendly staff, I would recommend a visit. No food just bar snacks

What a lovely place, great views over the harbour and the water with really helpful staff. We even saw Ben Shepherd from Good Morning Britain and Tipping Point on Monday night after filming on Bristol! 😁 Drinks have been great and food tasty... Highly recommended, steak night on Tuesday! 😁 See you there... As an aside its out of the wind that other cafes locally suffer from as its in a dip, and has heaters outside for warm Al fresco dining!

Overall a fantastic little place and not over priced, especially for the area. We were a group of four and was greeted with a friendly service. The layout and design is contemporary with a very nice panoramic painting covering the back wall. The front facade consists of multiple bifolding doors which are great for those sunny days and warm nights. For food we ordered risotto, avocado and poached eggs with a tomato salsa, the chunky bacon in flat bread and a portion of double dunked chunky chips. Now the first issue is a matter of personal taste and perception. The double dunked chips we're not actually chips but rather potato wedges with the skin still on. Many people like this option, in fact the other 3 members of the group loved them. I, however, do not like the skin on variety. There is definitely a difference in taste so they should be described as such on the menu. Admittedly they were cooked to perfection, a soft crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside but unfortunately I just don't like the flavour when the skin has been left on. The poached eggs and avocado dish was amazing, runny soft eggs over avocado layered toast accompanied with a sweet and juicy tomato salsa. The bacon and flat bread fell a bit flat. It was more panceta than chunky bacon with a chewy under cooked rind swimming in grease and the flatbread (large tortilla) was chewy and rubbery. The risotto was the worse dish. 3 of us tried and had the exact same response. Tasted of watered peas, very bland and well over cooked so it was like a pile of mush. The service was great and as I paid the bill I explained our thoughts and it was nice to see the chef to actually listen and appreciate the feed back. Overall, definitely recommended

Some places you don't want to review, so that they stay quiet and perfect. Broken Dock is too good to stay quiet about though. Morning breakfasts are delicious, light but filling. Perfectly cooked eggs, tasty meats, great service. Plank boards in the evening are incredible, plenty of choice and flavours. Compared to most tasting boards in Bristol, they get the right mix between temptation and quantity. Sadly destined to be packed in summer, but thoroughly deserved

Amazing Sunday dinners! Good choice, friendly staff, great location! Fabulous views outside. Will not disappoint! Book as small indoor area.
