Severnshed - Bristol

The Severn Shed is one of Bristol's smarter venues. Half the shed (much classier than that sounds) is a cocktail bar and the other half a restaurant. The cocktail bar is worth a visit. The staff know what they're doing, and will impress with twirls of vodka bottles. There's a harbourside balcony where you can watch the rowers going past with cocktail in hand, a very relaxing way to spend the evening. The food is pretty sophisticated stuff. Last time I went with a group of eight and only heard one person with a bad word about their meal. It's not cheap, but there are lunch deals, so maybe go and research these before visiting. Whether you visit the bar or the restaurant (that's if you've got the cash to do it) Severn Shed will bring a dash of class to your day.

Jolly nice spot on the riverside. Extraordinarily friendly service, delicious food (great lamb cacciatore) and great atmosphere, although I would suggest anyone looking to get very romantic or intimate to find a quieter place.

The Severn Shed is a lovely little restaurant tucked away behind Queen's Square. As with most things located on the harbour, I was very excited to visit here and I wasn't disappointed! If the weather is good, try and eat/drink outside on the terrace as the views are lovely and it makes a very peaceful afternoon. As you can see by the pictures I uploaded, I visited in the snow which meant it was a little cold to eat outside, however there are equally good views if you are able to sit at the back windows. The food was very nice, and not badly priced considering the location. On the note of location, The Severn Shed is a little far away from the heart of Bristol. It's a really nice place to come for a couple of drinks and if you are in the area, definitely worth a pop in.

The Severn Shed has a wide selection of great food, and the place has lovely views over the river. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for here and if you manage to take advantage of one of their great offers you could get a real bargaincheck out their website but they used to run 2 courses for £7 if you got there before 7pm. Bargain! Great for a snack, a special meal or just for drinks after worksome of the nicest cocktails in town!

My experience at The Severnshed was A-OK. The staff was A-OK The venue was A-OK The burger was A-OK The ambiance was A-OK ...but much like this review, there was just a little too much A-OK going on to bump it up to fan status. However, I will say this: For a nice tasty meal in a stand-up establishment, I 'd definitely put Severnshed on the list. It didn 't wow me, but it certainly didn 't disappoint. Like I said... NOTE: My dining partners, on the other hand, are still drooling over their order of chicken schnitzel and creamed spinach. So much so that they nearly demanded we drive back over from London to dine here on their last night in town. So stick that in 'yer pipe and Yelp it!
