The Full Quart

The first thing I noticed about The Full Quart Hewish was how clean it was proving that pubs such as these can be clean! We we're greeted by an attentive, friendly waitress who remained so throughout the meal, so 4 stars for the housekeeping and hospitality staff. To get their final fith star the chef needs to up his game. The food is good but its overpriced for the portion size. The homemade pie is a nice size but for the price the dish needs more of the cheap food such as potato, carrots etc. The beef in the pie was a little tough and oregano was a dominate taste which is strange and does not fit in a steak pie so my meal was a little disappointing. Lasagne was a good size and very good but it's a cheap meal to make and only comes with a side salad and small piece of garlic bread. The cod is the size of 2 cod bites and its about £15.... Sadly for cost and portion size.... I dropped a star.

Stopped on way back to Bristol from Weston. Five star Ploughman’s - decent cut of ham, tangy cheese, nice crusty bread served with a refreshing dressed salad, pickles and slaw. Efficient and friendly service too. Dogs allowed in bar although sunny so we sat outside - nice kids play area too. Rate this place

Had to book a place to eat at the last moment and it was Mother's Day. This place had vacancies whereas others did not. The other reviews here aren't the best by far, but I needed a place to meet up with family and friends so the food wasn't a first priority. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The carvery was good although the beef was rather leather like and hard to chew on. The pork was excellent and so was the turkey. Some of us had the gammon and chips, again good. The service was prompt and very polite. A few crying babies in the room did spoil the conversation but that's no fault of the establishment, it is family pub after all. I would recommend it and concider coming back at a later date.
