A truly fantastic experience at Pasture. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the team were incredibly accommodating when it came to our seating. The food completely surpassed our expectations. The beetroot tartare was absolutely outstanding, and the ribeye was cooked to perfection. The service was equally impressive, friendly, attentive and helpful, but above all, incredibly professional. They also catered brilliantly for our allergies, and the manager personally made sure we felt comfortable and reassured throughout the meal, which really meant a lot. A fantastic restaurant with exceptional food, service and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back!
The best steak I've had outside of London.
We had such a fabulous evening here! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel so at ease. As someone with allergies, dining out can often make me feel like an inconvenience, but I genuinely couldn’t have felt more accommodated. The team went above and beyond to explain the two different allergy menus available. Christian, who I believe was the manager, was absolutely fantastic. He knew the menu inside out and was incredibly reassuring and knowledgeable. Our server, Dimitri, was also brilliant. And, of course, the food was delicious! For anyone with allergies, I honestly can’t recommend this place enough.
All the food was absolutely incredible. Everyone talks about the shortrib croquettes and they are indeed amazing, but we also got the beetroot tartar which i was excited for but was way better than i ever expected. The mushroom stroganoff pie was one of the best things we've ever had, not even joking, that thing is amazing. The cocktails were very thoughtfully designed, we enjoyed everything we had and if I could have I would have tried 10 more. Finally, the staff was incredible. Everyone was great and so friendly and knowledgeable and we really appreciated them.
amazing service. We were asked about our day before we were seated, and if we were celebrating a special occasion. Complimentary croquettes were provided before the mains arrived. The steaks were gorgeous, with a great selection of sides and sauces. The servers were clearly very knowledgeable on the ingredients, wine pairings, and recommended cuts. After our mains, we were also provided with a complimentary dessert, as the server had remembered us stating we had just finished our A-levels. Overall, perfect!
The best steak we’ve ever had by some margin. The meat was tender and smoked so well by the chefs, amazing side dishes, coupled with excellent welcoming staff. A really cost effective way is to buy the steaks by weight and this includes 2 sides and 2 sauces. Flynn was an excellent member of staff with his knowledge, attention to detail of us as customers, we had personable conversations rather than generic chat and this culminated into him arranging a congratulatory complimentary desert for our special occasion.
The food was exceptional at Pasture with some of the best steak we have ever eaten - we had fillet and it melted when you cut it. The smokiness of the steak was superb and it melted in your mouth. Sides were incredibly tasty- tenderstem, carrots and baked potato were so good and again some of the best i can remember eating and all reasonably priced. Waiting staff were doing their first shift and he was honestly so attentive and professional. The staff were all friendly and incredibly attentive to us. 12/10!
Best steak in town! I recommend, the sides are stunning. The wine is beautiful
Not often do places exceed the hype they’ve been given but I was pretty much mindblown by every bite. Counting down the days until I can next eat here
Good to know
- Book ahead especially at weekends as the restaurant is popular for lunch and dinner.
- Order steaks by weight as this includes two sides and two sauces and 500g is plenty for two people.
- Ask about the two allergy menus if you have dietary requirements; the extreme version is prepared in a separate kitchen.
- Try the shortrib croquettes; they are frequently given as a complimentary starter while you wait.
- Share sides as portions are generous and one of each is usually enough for the table.
- Mention special occasions when you arrive; staff often remember and may bring a complimentary dessert.
- The Sunday roast is popular so arrive early if you want the full selection of Yorkshire puddings and veg.
- The atmosphere gets noisy so be prepared to raise your voice a little during busy service.
Why people choose us
Fire-Smoked Steaks
Reviewers repeatedly call the steaks the best in Bristol and some of the best they've had outside London. The meat is tender, full of smokiness from the fire pit and smoker, and cooked exactly to order whether ribeye, fillet, sirloin, tomahawk, porterhouse, chateaubriand or Sunday roast beef. One diner said the fillet melted when you cut it and the smokiness was superb. Another described the chateaubriand as exceptional and cooked to perfection.
Thoughtful Sides
The sides are described as stunning, incredible and some of the best reviewers can remember. Shortrib croquettes are a constant favourite, often given as complimentary while waiting. Other standouts include truffle chips, spinach gratin, tenderstem broccoli, carrots, baked potato and mushroom stroganoff pie that one couple called one of the best things they've ever eaten. Sauces and seasonal vegetables also get strong praise.
Allergy Care
Diners with allergies say Pasture makes them feel completely accommodated rather than an inconvenience. The team provides two separate allergy menus, one for less severe allergies and an extreme allergy menu prepared in a completely separate kitchen. Managers like Christian personally explain every dish and ingredient, reassure guests and check in throughout the meal. Multiple reviewers said this level of care made their evening truly relaxing and they will return because of it.
Knowledgeable Team
Servers such as Antonio, Demitri, Henry, Flynn and Callum are named and praised for deep knowledge of the menu, recipes, wine pairings and cooking methods. They remember special occasions, reinstate cooking instructions to the kitchen, and make personal conversation instead of generic chat. Staff often provide complimentary croquettes or desserts when they learn it's an anniversary or celebration. Reviewers say the team makes the restaurant and they will return because of the welcome and attention.
Great Drinks List
The wine list is called beautiful and fantastic. Cocktails are thoughtfully designed with something for everyone and reviewers say they would happily try many more. There is also a great beer selection including local beers and the coffee and desserts receive consistent praise. One group enjoyed mocktails and cocktails even if the presentation was simple.
