Me and my partner came here and it was my first ever time going to a cosy club. Our waiter Adrien was very attentive and kind, but all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our service was excellent, our drinks were lovely and the food was incredible. I have a gluten intolerance and was very content with the selection. They also have vegan options too. We came in for lunch the next day as well and the brunch menu was also delightful. Basically, if you want a lovely vibe in a beautiful historical building for a casual setting? This is the place. Highly recommend!

First time in the New Porto Lounge. Really impressed. Good food, excellent provision for gluten free, lots of space and very relaxing. Thank you so much.

Isy Valentine

A whole menu dedicated to gluten free and they have separate fryers

Dave Eadie

Wow so pleased to call in here with family. Knowing the lounges cater for me being a celiac is great. Service was super friendly and helpful. Food was excellent, and the ambience excellent for a night out to talk and catch up. Also big thanks to the staff who looked after us all so well.

Chrissie White

Graham Richardson

Always have a good time at Lounge bars. Partner is celiac but is always relaxed knowing food is safe

Went for brunch. Nice food and gluten free options. Friendly staff and great service. Asked for water and was provided it within a minute, which is the first time this has happened in a long time, I normally have to ask again in restaurants. Good breakfast offer. We'll certainly be going back. Lovely outside seating area.

Edd Chappell

Brilliant independent cafe/bar! Great selection of food and drink and can cater for most allergies. They had a great selection of Gluten-free food and cakes! There is a baby changing room in the ladies bathroom, in the end cubicle (FYI) Dog friendly and good atmosphere. Well worth a visit! Can recommend booking if you can to guarantee a space!

Visited as a pre booked group of 9 on a Saturday night. Arrived at our booking time of 6pm and was told to wait outside and queue with those that hadn't booked, ended up going in 25 minutes later. Once seated we waited for 30 minutes to have our order taken before asking someone if we could order food. The waitress came over and said "i was told you wanted to order food?" While waiting for food some of us went outside to smoke...the doorman then refused to let them back in unless they phoned someone from the table to come get them....weird. One person ordered a gluten free meal and another ordered a vegan meal...these were brought out separately to everyone elses and were specifically told that this was the vegan and gluten free meals. The rest of the food was brought out on a large tray and dumped at the end of the table leaving us to try work out what was what, meaning that quite a few of us are unsure if we actually got what we ordered. Shortly after starting to eat my partner noticed that his beef burger looked very much not like beef. My vegan friend then took apart his burger to see that it was beef... When we tried to speak to staff about this they tried to argue that he had picked up the wrong burger but this burger was specifically given to him stating it was vegan. This is totally unacceptable, if it was an allergy giving the wrong food could have killed them. The food was very nice but sadly the lack of care from staff ruined the night. There were also a large group of men shouting constantly and doing coke in the toilets :(

Sarah Townsend

Brownie points to my date, who picked this place for a pre-movie supper. Warm and friendly service from Flo and the team, all of whom are super knowledgeable about the menu, which is changed daily. Imaginative and beautifully created dishes with an exceptional selection for vegetarian and gluten-free (I’m both). Cosy and intimate. Fancy expanding to Cheltenham?!

Victoria Forrester

Delicious brunch, gluten free options too. Interesting building and friendly staff

Nicki Stalley

A great Sunday roast! I have coeliac disease so eating out can be a challenge sometimes. However, not here. As soon as we walked in and explained I was coeliac the person that met us went straight into the kitchen to find out what I could/couldn't have. Then went our waitress took our order she explained that her brother had coeliac disease which was so reassuring and she also explained that the kitchen staff were cleaning everything down. Brilliant service, thank you! The food was lovely, would absolutely recommend

Louise Kolman

Have always wanted to visit this restaurant and it did not disappoint!! The food was absolutely delicious, I had a lamb mint sausage with mash and a side if carrots and parsnips and omg I could eat that again and again! The dessert was delicious too (we had a gluten free cheesecake) HIGHLY recommend!

mark chamberlain

I've been going to this place for years mainly for lunch, but recently went for Sunday Breakfast, all five of us had Different dishes and everything was great, you'd be hard pressed to find a better quality Full English and for my Son who's Gluten intolerant they concocted and amazing roast Pork with corn Bread and lots of tasty trimmings, good service, really friendly Staff and big enough to easily accommodate a party of six...... Coffees decent too......

Yzella Barr

Our servers were wonderful! They were all super friendly and knowledgeable! Made me as a coeliac very comfortable knowing they took allergies seriously. The food was incredible and we loved our surprise anniversary desert! Thank you!

Martin Gorringe

Surely the last place in the world not to offer gluten free pizza. The portion sizes are tiny, my friends 'steak' was a few small slices that you couldn't have made a sandwich with. Spanish tortilla was very bland and a really small few slices for the money. Will not return, all our large party were stunned by the appalling value for money.

Charli Ball

Had an incredible experience at KIBOU for my sister-in-law’s birthday. The food was amazing and the service was so good. Extra kudos to Syd who was our server and she was brilliant - so patient, helpful and attentive. We had 2 coeliacs and the range of gluten free food was really good - even had gluten free soy sauce on the table! They understood allergens and were happy to explain the menu and make sure we were having a good time. Would 100% recommend to anyone and hope to be back!

Elizabeth Pescud

I have visited Harbour House 5 times in the last few months which says all you need to know. The food is delicious - I particularly loved the tuna nicoise over summer, and now the surf and turf is beautiful. I am coeliac and the gluten free options are delicious, and this has been handled professionally and with absolutely no issues. It is a lovely venue both inside and on the terrace. The thing that has really stood out is the service - the waiting staff are awesome, friendly and attentive. I recommended it to my colleague and we are now coming to Harbour House for our work Christmas party as well!

Jennifer Connell-Waite

Cannot fault our meal. Kids pizzas/ meal deal was perfect for our 9 year olds, pizzas were devoured and gluten free pizza was delicious!

Alfredo

We had been told that there was quite an atmosphere, aside from the fact that it has a certain name, the place is ideal for a beer and also for eating. There is quite a variety of beer, even gluten-free

Rachel Hartles

I normally have a great experience here, and the staff are always really friendly. But this evening, unfortunately, I didn't. Tonight my gluten free pizza was cooked for too long, so it was quite cardboard-like and the eton mess for dessert tasted, well, weird! It almost tasted like someone had added perfume to it?! I have to say though, staff were great and took the feedback with civility. They were very good! We normally go to eat before a show in the wardrobe theatre, and I'm sure we will again, we may just think for a minute before we do.

Elizabeth Pescud

I loved this pub! Amazing roast, good gluten free options, nice garden. Plus decent sized car park. Will be back

Asked about allergens before we waited 20 minutes outside for a table with my heavily pregnant partner. They assured us they could cater for both gluten and sulphite allergies. After a long wait we sat down ordered two drinks. Pregnant partner ordered an alcohol free beer and staff instead served her an alcoholic one which is completely unacceptable. When we came to order, they then informed us that nothing on the menu was suitable for a sulphite allergy and we couldn’t actually eat there at all! So we waited nearly 40 minutes in total to be told we couldn’t eat at this restaurant. So we needed to go somewhere else to eat. My pregnant partner was already hungry before we waited 40 minutes to be served. Then to make matters worse, the guy serving us (who claimed to be the manager/owner) and was extremely unprofessional. Told us essentially tough luck and here is the bill for the drinks… we wouldn’t have waited 40 minutes and sat down at all if your staff didn’t tell us it was ok for our allergies. You should be hugely ashamed for your service today. We won’t be returning. Allergens should be at the forefront of your business followed by decency and customer service. Today none of these things happened. Because your response has purposefully tried to manipulate the narrative of our visit, I would like to clarify; The only bad behaviour came from the manager, he was extremely rude and abusive in how he spoke to us and the language he used. And clearly this restaurant instead of taking this feedback seriously has tried to deflect the narrative instead of taking responsibility for the failings detailed. This is not a safe place to eat if you have any allergens.

Bethany

Nai my waitress was really helpful with my gluten and dairy intolerances and went above and beyond to accommodate to my needs

Julia Galton

Very helpful and accommodating staff, especially for Gluten Free. Lovely food. Would recommend!

Julie Janssens

Meal was a bit overcooked. Service great. We were a group and had reserved beforehand seats and meal. We had a private room upstairs. They managed with my diet gluten free and dairy free but just removed part that had it without making a replacement to not miss out of the roaster experience. Nice area.

Ali Barter

Excellent service from staff very friendly plenty of gluten free food and very tasty would definitely recommend cocktails are lush to we had sex on beach very fruity and refreshing

Caroline Marchment

My husband is coeliac and we really struggle to find safe places for him to eat and drink. The majority of beers here are gluten free, the menu is clearly marked for allergens and there is plenty of gluten free food to choose from. The staff were really knowledgeable about cross contamination and my husband enjoyed his food and drink feeling like he was being well cared for. Can't recommend enough if you have a requirement for gluten free, and if like me you aren't gluten free, try the rarebit dirty fries, they were out of this world!

Victoria Forrester

Fantastic place, beer is delicious and pizzas are tasty. Gluten free options available for both beer and food. Great music too. The tour was very informative and lots of beer to try! Will definitely be back next time we're in Bristol.

Andy Childs

Really good range of beers including gluten-free options

Bryony Hampton

This place is great and often overlooked as a place to eat. They do amazing nachos which are Gluten free, you can normally find a table. The bar is busy but well worth-staffed who are always pleasant and fast. The beer selection is excellent. Goram Zero on tap is exceptional. I had the pork belly and beans. Top notch. Always a great crowd. Arty. Good people watching. Toilets unisex and funky.

Rick Purnell

We were day visitors from Devon having supper before returning home. Very popular and busy place. Not a happy experience as we ordered a gluten free just egg and chips, but the regular menu ham egg and chips arrived. The meat was taken off and we were assured that the meal was gluten free. There must have been some cross contamination or fryer used to cook things other than only chips as my wife suffered with gluten intollerence all night. After my fish & chips, I also became unwell and was violently sick in the early hours too. Fortunately we have both recovered. Trust we were the only 'unfortunates' on Thursday night.

Jay Smith

We visited the coppa club for dinner. The atmosphere and venue is fantastic, beautiful plants, interesting artwork with comfortable chilled seating and typical restaurant seating. My partner is gluten free and was given her own completely GF menu and tge waiter was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The cocktails and wine list were great. We had: Starters Antipasti (GF) Buttermilk fried chicken Croquettes Mains Carbonara Carbonara (GF) Desserts X2 Crème brûlée We had a great night and would definitely recommend it and revisit. @Bristolian_Foodie

Hannah Henderson

We came here for our 1st wedding anniversary celebration. We booked well in advance and asked for a nice table for the special occasion, unfortunately this did not happen. We were on a rubbish table right next to the toilet, which was a shame. There were some lovely tables in the restaurant with nice views, romantic booths etc, however I do not believe the staff read our comment on booking and did not ensure we received a special table, which was disappointing. I wouldn’t come here again for a really special occasion, but would happily come for general dinner, or with friends etc. Food was really good and tasty, especially the salad which came with the shish (although it is slightly overpriced), food came out quickly. Staff were great and were also very good with allergies, gluten/dairy etc. The decoration was lovely and overall we had a nice time.

Phil Gledhill

Have wanted to try this place every time I drive past it and we weren’t disappointed. Able to sit outside as it was a nice warm evening. Tried two of their craft beers and they were great. Both went for pizza, and one has to be gluten free. Normally gluten free pizza especially from the supermarket are always rubbish compared to normal pizza but this one was amazing and probably the best I’ve ever eaten. Staff were really friendly, would recommend to anyone

Kris Britton

Great service, all too keen to accommodate a gluten free diet. They didn’t have any bread in stock, so someone left to go get some for my breakfast, which was greatly appreciated. The staff were so happy, and went the extra mile in contacting me when I’d left something behind. Great experience!

Danny Brasco

One of the best roast we have eaten. To bad i forgot to take a picture before everything was eater. They even accommodated gluten free option with Yorkshire. Thats the extra mile. Will come again and bring friends. Lovely pub

Ciarán Carter

Good vegetarian and gluten free options.

Mattholme Johnson

My experience on the Grainbarge was so, all encompassing, I didn’t have time whilst there, to realise just what a magnificent time I was enabled to have. Happily I wandered off. Many thanks to the crew, Danny, Paris, John, the one they call Macca? Plus the kitchen crew, Vinny and Ted too. The bar manager did a fine job also. Gluten free food and drinks galore! Happy New Year

Matthew Batten

Lovely bar that also sells two gluten free beers.

Kirsty Watters

. Lovely place , but what was the ingredients in the gluten free fish and chip batter? Beautiful bunnies and quails!!!

Iván Fernández Montiel (Perfect Chaos)

Really good place and quiet. Kind staff and with a good range of gluten free options.

Monitor Town House

Gluten-free food on the menu. Nice pub with good service. This pub is in a student area, so expect them to be there.
