Hall & Woodhouse Portishead

We made our first visit yesterday for drinks and food, and were amazed by the quality of service and food. Nothing was too much trouble and the person who originally helped us had his coat on ready to go home, but stayed on for quite some while (with his coat off!) to ensure that we were looked after. We later discovered that he was the GM - obviously he sets the tone for the whole place. Food was lovely too and we'll definitely go back!

It was Saturday evening we'd been around the nature reserve and then marina for a walk, there was a chill in the air and we were ravenous! We went into a few places but no available seats, we were about to leave to get a takeaway for home but decided to just try H&W and were pleasantly surprised to find an available table for 2 in a cosy corner. We immediately ordered their porkbelly special on the recommendation of our waiter, and it didn't disappoint...the portions were huge (thankfully, as my partner and I were starving by this point) and delicious. I have been there before for a Sunday roast, and it was ace. It's definitely a great option if you're looking for yummy pub grub.

Nice location and like the design and overall feel of the place. Very nice outdoor seating overlooking the Marina and always enjoy a few drinks here. Haven't had a main meal here yet, but if the Starter 'nibbles' (BarBQue Chicken Wings with Triple Cooked Chips) whilst having a few drinks is anything to go by, it won't be bad. Great portion size and very delicious.

Went with friends for coffee & cakes, we were given a very warm welcome & our order was taken very quickly. We were spoilt for choice for cakes, my friends had red velvet & a cookie, I had lemon cake, all of which were delicious, we also had a fudge sweet served with our coffee, what a lovely touch! The staff were all very friendly even though they were busy. Will certainly be coming again.

Fantastic place, great for a cup of coffee and a cake, to a full meal. Quirky construction, built of old shipping containers, and it is wonderfully comfortable inside. The staff are what makes for a good restaurant...or pub...and H&W staff are all excellent. There are a few car parking spaces outside the building, and more exist in the car park behind the building opposite. Be aware of the colour coding....and don't get caught out! Otherwise it's street parking and a walk in. Further to my earlier writing, we held our reunion for 40 former Merchant Navy Officers and the staff from H&W were wonderful, the food was brought from the kitchen to the tables in a timely manner. Everyone was impressed by the standard of the food...and the service. Thank you to everyone serving on the night.
