As always your staff are extremely amicable, courteous and helpful. They were exceptionally patient with my friends eight year old daughter. It was the second time I dined and have already advised my friends to visit.

Booked an impromptu table for 4 on a hectic Saturday evening, brilliant service, fabulous tacos and bravette shared between us, washed down by some superb bottles of wine. Great DJ sound with excellent customer service and chats made a truly memorable evening for us all.. so fortunate to have a location like this close by.. bravo amigos😎🍸

I ordered a rump steak with peppercorn sauce which was absolutely wonderful, well cooked, well presented and very tasty. My only criticism is that it stated £38 for 2 courses but there is a surcharge of £10 if you have steak, this was not made clear enough on the menu. But great service and a very indulgent chocolate dessert made the whole experience worh while.

A memorable and outstanding lunch. In spite of my allergies I was fully able to enjoy the varied and delicious menu choices with thoughtful adaptations. All of the seasonal and local options were scrumptious but the standout dish was the North Somerset Venison Haunch. This was cooked to perfection for each of our differing tastes, and accompanied by melt in the mouth fondant celeriac cooked in beef tallow, onion puree, deep dark greens of cavolo nero and curly kale with unctuous slow cooked garlic. We also had to try a perfect pairing of coal roasted beetroots with pickled blackberry vinaigrette which carried early autumn flavours with a welcome tang alongside the naturally sweeter onion puree. It was a sublime combination. The staff were so welcoming and outstandingly attentive, even though the restaurant was full of other grateful half term customers and their beautifully behaved offspring. The sprigs natural ferment non alcoholic fizz makes any weekday into a proper celebration.

    Great experience at the Three Daggers. Lovely linguine and a burger. Could not fault the beer / service or food. Have not eaten there in a while and will be back - plenty on the menu I would like to try. Many thanks, John

    Friday evening was very busy with lots of people both outside and inside the pub. No spaces in the car park-had to park in a nearby road. Glad we booked a table. Was told there would be a 45 minute wait for the food but only took 15-20 minutes so happy with the service.
