The Beaufort Arms

Drank here from 18-21 years old while attending the DAF college as an apprentice. We always had a good laugh, locals and staff were brilliant. Recently returned for a very different visit with my wife and kids while travelling and had our tea. Can say after 8 years the place has barely changed (in the best possible way) great selection of beers / ciders on tap. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Staff although new faces from what I remember were still super friendly and helpful.

I've mixed feelings about this pub what with our recent experience a few weeks ago. We"ve been here twice around lunchtime/early to mid-afternoon, both on a weekend. Plus points: Very convenient as it's a few minutes walk from the train station. Cozy and warm. Varied menu selection. Clean toilets. Not so good points: The first time we went here, it was close to 11 a.m. (we checked and they open at 10 a.m. on weekends) and we wanted to get some light bites but the staff said they were not serving any food yet. So we settled for just coffee. OK, fair enough, and it was a nice place to be in on a rainy day. The second time we came here was for lunch (and it was around 1:30 to 2 p.m.), and we waited almost an hour for our food to arrive. My husband and I ordered drinks, which arrived early. We thought the food would soon follow so we waited, as there was quite a crowd. We really thought they had a staff shortage so we opted to be patient at the 30-minute mark. After waiting for 45 minutes, my husband went to the bar to follow up and they said they were preparing it and the staff apologised for not informing us. We ordered via QR code but no one informed us of the waiting time. By this time, the crowd had thinned out. When the food arrived, the ale pie crust was too hard (like it was 'in the oven too long' type of hardness) although the filling was good. I ordered Fisherman's Catch but it's the saddest looking dish I've ever seen (the peas were dry and the chips looked and tasted like it was reheated). We were too hungry by that time to care and complain and we just wanted to finish and leave. Hope the management would improve these issues because it really leaves a bad impression on customers.

Lovely place to be from food to beer, service is always with a smile and the atmosphere is how you make it, great menu and plenty of free parking all day long. And with staff like Connie you know you’re in good hands. 100% good place to be !!

I ordered sautéed potatoes as said on the menu. However, they served me boiled potatoes as shown on the picture. I told them this is not what I ordered. They said they always do boiled potatoes and they don’t know about the menu?!?!?! . They didn’t give me any solutions until I asked. They didn’t seem sorry. I took my dish to them after my partner talked to them. They said: so you want sautéed potatoes? I said yes. Then they took my dish and sautéed the original potatoes on my dish and gave them back to me. They broke my fish too when they tried to take the potatoes. Oh they lied as well they said they don’t do sautéed potatoes. They said what they do is boil them then sautéed them. However, as you can see from the picture, there is no sign of sautéed!!!!

Large Pub close to Bristol Parkway Railway Station. The pub has a large car park. It is a bright pub with lots of seating both inside and outside. The service was excellent 👌. A well priced, varied menu with the normal pub food. The food was well presented, hot & served promptly. I enjoyed my lunch & will visit again soon. Well worth a try.

Went for a Maple Double Burger, came with a side of beef dripping gravy which at the time I thought was a bit odd, but tasted lovely with the fries

The Beaufort Arms has a nice feeling, it is comfortable, the food is good and everything is tasty. It is mid range expense so very accessible and i have recently made my second visit. I plan to go again!

The staff are great, the atmosphere is great but the food portions are so stingy for the price. Nearly seven quid for cheesy ciabatta garlic bread that was tiny (see photo). PS the pub replied to my review online, asked me to email them, I did, I was clear I wasn’t looking for refund etc, but they didn’t reply.
