🏠 Brunels Buttery, Wapping Railway Wharf, Hotwells, BS1 6UD
Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Brunel's Buttery is the kind of spot you stumble into after a long walk, and it delivers — mostly. The views are stunning, and the staff are friendly, but let’s be real, the food can be hit or miss. Ralph Payne calls it a 'fabulous food and drink stop,' but then you’ve got folks like Vanessa who were less than impressed with their bacon sandwich. You win some, you lose some.
If you fancy a hot coffee and a bacon roll while looking at the harbor, this place has your back. But maybe steer clear of the more adventurous options unless you're feeling lucky. It's a decent place to refuel, just don’t expect it to blow your mind.
"A fabulous food and drink stop, right by the water's edge."
"Staff were attentive and welcoming."
"Lovely hot coffee and yummy chips."
