Salop Matt Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Folks am here with work for the week and thought it was worth asking for advice on where to eat? So far I've found an itallian with no carbonara! So I need some local input incase the golden arches don't have any burgers either !

margun Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Whenever I'm there on business I eat at the Fox Den. It's got a reasonable menu and good ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 What's your budget and what type of food are you looking for ? I've been over here as a student two years now and been plenty of places. The fox den on the business park is indeed very good for pub meals, I had a fantastic fillet steak there one time. There's some great places in town, head on down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 £22.50 is the budget set by work. Will check out the Fox's Den as it seems popular. Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to bump it up yourself then there are some excellent steak houses further into the city, The Cowshed, Cau and Steak of the Art (on the newish harbour area) are all nice although a bit expensive. Not far from the fox den , if you go into winterbourne there is a pub called the golden heart which was excellent both times I went for Sunday lunch, although a little slow (but the food made up for it), plus one time they apologised for being slow and gave us free deserts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Maniks is a good Indian but they don't rush Each to his own but I wouldn't revisit this place. My Massaman Curry was a sub standard watery curry with a few potatoes and a friends chicken satay as a main course was a collection of those ready made chicken bits on sticks you get in supermarkets with a small pot of satay dip straight from an off the shelf jar. Importantly, Tripadvisor currently carries a banner headline in red that it has grounds to investigate that individuals or entities associated with this restaurant may themselves or have a hired a third party to write positive reviews about this restaurant. No smoke without fire as they say. Unfortunately there is not much on offer in the filton area. If you drive in to Bristol,about 3 miles down the A38 from the filton roundabout,there is choice of restaurants and pubs on the Gloucester Road strip down to The Arches (Cheltenham Road Bridge). If you do not wish to drink and drive then there is a bus route (75 & 76 I think) which covers this short run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
