Close to Bristol Airport

I will be at Bristol airport in a few weeks on a Sunday evening, I will be dropping somneone off at 4:30-5pm and picking someone else up at 6:30. The cheapest car park I can find is £15 so I was thinking, could I avoid the airport totally, is there somewhere nice nearby that I could have a nice early dinner?

    Personally i'd say drop them of then go out the airport turn right and head into Churchill there are a couple of pubs there on the main road and advertise food at reasonable prices. This is about a 10 to 15 minute drive maximum
    :hello: Lets all save a £ or two, lets all earn a £ or two, and lets all enjoy spending that £ or two wisely.

  • Yes, I would second Churchill. The Stag and Hounds (on the right hand side about 1/2 a mile after the traffic lights into Churchill) isn't bad at all and reasonably priced. Certainly, the outlaws' family have used it and raved about it in the past...
  • Thanks for those responses, I would nearly rather getted ripped off than pay £15 for a couple of hours parking.

    I have tried a few pubs just past Churchill on the A38 southbound and not been overly impressed but I'll give Churchill a go.

    The Plough in Wrington is a good pub. My best recommendation would be the Bear & Swan in Chew Magna. A friend of mine was restaurant manager there until recently.

  • The Stag & Hounds was always OK - very 'foodie' with lots of 2-4-1 offers.

    The Winford Arms is on the A38 towards bristol - basic pub grub at reasonable prices & a large carpark.
