SERVING BRISTOL

Serving Bristol is like that awkward friend who tries really hard but still can't quite get it right. They’ve got the hygiene game locked down with a solid 5/5, but the food seems to be a mixed bag. Sure, you can grab a chicken New Yorker or a Korean BBQ burger, which sounds decent, but it’s tempting to wonder if their chef was on break when they cooked it. Staff members like Paris have been praised for their friendly service, and the atmosphere is nothing to sneeze at, but some recent diners have raised eyebrows at the quality of the food — think sloppy plates and 45-minute waits that feel longer than a Netflix binge. If you’re craving a cheap meal in a busy pub, it might do the job, but I’d check my expectations at the door.

In short, you’re going for the vibe and the staff; the food is just... there. If you walk away hungry, it’s on you for not ordering wisely. Just remember, the Hungry Horse is as much about the experience as it is about the meal; don’t overthink it, and you might even leave with a smile — even if it’s slightly forced.
