Stepping into the Robin Hoods Retreat, on the Gloucester Road, the first thing you notice is the large selection of Real Ales on offer and, if you are a local to this area, the dramatic change it has gone through. The interior now has a homely feel with a fireplace located in the corner, perfect for the cold winter evenings. The menu is simply presented on a huge blackboard offering pub food which includes dishes such as Meatballs in Spaghetti and a varied selection of starters, mains and desserts including such delights as Slow Cooked Shoulder of Lamb or the well known Treacle Tart for pudding. The head chef, Nathan Muir, has put together a group of chefs who have a real passion for cooking who want to re-ignite simple but delightful pub food. The food here is served with the same amount of attention to detail as the top restaurants and we fully expect the Robin Hood’s Retreat to establish itself on the map as one of the finest gastro pubs in Bristol.
