Seymour Arms, Bristol

The pub itself is quite a decent size, although with limited seating. There's a table skittles game that's takes up some space, and a couple of raised areas limit the flexibility of layout. It's got a decent country pub feel to it, albeit not quite as cosy as some, but with plenty of wood panelling, beams and a large fish tank. As well as the skittles, there's a dart board and a Wii console that apparently comes out sometimes on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The menu was quite basic with several “pub grub” dishes such as scampi and chips, cod and chips, lasagne, chilli, curry, etc, plus a couple of more upmarket dishes, e.g.; steaks. The landlady was very friendly and helpful, and assured us that all the food was freshly made on the premises. The lasagne and cajun chicken that we had were both certainly very good. Possibly slightly overpriced at £8.95, but for decent home cooked quality you can't really complain. Beers on this occasion were Butcombe and the rather pleasant Holy Thor II from Glastonbury Ales. Ciders were Thatcher's Gold and Blackthorn.
