From slow cooked lamb shoulder to the wild mushroom and thyme tart, the savoury courses will have your mouth watering just thinking about them. And don’t get us started on the puddings…

The Restaurant

Located in The Bristol hotel, The River Grille offers a gorgeous lofty open space and exquisite wooden floors paired with floor-to-ceiling windows which lets in copious amounts of natural light. Not to mention the stunning views of the Harbourside with boats bobbing on the water and people ambling along outside. This dining location is famed for its succulent steak, unique setting and the energetic ambiance, which often comes in the form of live music. Make sure to stop by on Friday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes for live piano, as you indulge with delicious lamb shoulder, or tuck into your pudding to the sounds of jazz on Saturday evenings.

Festive Menus

The River Grille’s menus showcase the best seasonal ingredients, all of which are sourced locally and freshly prepared in the kitchen by quality chefs. The enticing festive menu is now available, so make a reservation and come hungry, ready to devour some seriously flavoursome dishes.

The seasonal lunch menu is jam-packed with warming options. Starters include soup of the day, perfect to keep you toasty warm in the winter months, as well as a smoked farmhouse terrine. For mains, choose from slow cooked lamb shoulder, roast turkey (a Christmas classic) or savoury crêpes with roast pumpkin.

If you have a sweet tooth, the pudding options are incredibly tempting, with chocolate fondant, lemon meringue pie and Oreo cheesecake to choose from. The dinner menu is even more extensive, with sea trout fillet and creamy cauliflower purée or the appropriately named The Bristol Burger – the options are endless. To finish, make sure you save space for the mysterious ‘Coffee and Festive Treat’…you’ll have to stop by to find out what you’ll be treated to!

So, celebrate the festive season in style with loved ones. With such a gorgeous menu, The River Grille is not to be missed. Vegetarian and gluten-free options make this food spot a destination for everyone to enjoy, whilst the broad drinks menu offers many a festive tipple.
