The George, Abbots Leigh

This place has changed hands many times since I worked in the area but there is little difference to the actual pub and it’s offering.
They’ve put more thought into the décor this time round but I’m not 100% sure about the weird fluffy clouds hanging from the ceiling. It’s clean, simple and looks more up market than your average country pub.
The bar sells a good selection on lager, ale, cider and wine but it’s pricey, a small pino cost £4.65.
The food menu is typical of an up market gastro pub and it all sounded lovely, mains cost anything between £9−16. They also had posh bar snacks like a pint if prawns and a number of specials that sounded good.
As it was lunch I opted for a rare beef sandwich which was £6.50. The bread was freshly baked, the beef beautifully cooked and all presented on a board with some token leaves that we’re light dressed. As far as sarnies go this was a great one.
I wouldn’t go to this pub for a night out as it would probably bankrupt you but for a lovely lunch or evening meal I definitely recommend.

Abbots Leigh is a pretty little village just outside Bristol, with a history that includes Charles II (look it up!). It’s only two miles beyond Clifton, and at the village cross roads is this brilliant little pub. The beer is pretty cheap, the food is superb and reasonably priced (everything well under a tenner) and it feels exactly like what it is: a cosy village pub. Afterwards, you could do worse than head a mile down Manor Road (where the pub is) to Abbots Pool, a beautiful, historic woodland with a big lily-​covered fishpond at its heart.
