Coach house outside the station (possibly incorrectly assuming you're meeting there) only has freeview, Queens head (10 minutes walk up towards fishponds) usually has the lot, I'll be going past at lunchtime and can check for you if that one sounds ok.

No luck there mate. See if i can think of anywhere else.

Fishponds is prob best bet - there's a lot of those large type bars with all mods cons on the main drag there...
If you're in Filton, you should be able to get a train to Stapleton Rd station from Patchway or Bristol Parkway.

Bit further round, I'm the UWE/Frenchay side of Filton and pretty handy for Abbey Wood station (goes into Temple Meads via Stapleton Road/Lawrence Hill).
Ta all for comments, I'll wander up towards Fishponds from Stapleton Road and see what I see - doubtless I'll get to the pub just in time for the freak rainstorm to wipe out play at the Test.

I think the missus is planning on Cafe Matreya (sp?) or somesuch, supposed to be an excellent veggie restaurant.
Which confounds my plans for a steak somewhat.

It's a great restaurant (if you don't want meat).
We are having steak for tea (not rubbing it in, like!)
Beanburger
Deep Fried
I think it's gone downhill a bit. Although I'm still sulking coz they stopped doing their rather awesome breakfasts. In fact, the opening hours are extremely limited now.

Never been to it, although one of my friends raves about it. I like the Kashmir on the High Street.
There's three now aren't there? Easton, Montpelier and Clifton or something. I hear standards vary from one to the other
One in Totterdown as well, been there and it was ok. Still not a patch on traditional curry houses IMO. Easton-wise I'd go for Eastern Taste on St Marks Road, it's byo too.
Ah yeah, Totterdown. The Montpelier of the south. I heard something about stuff being cooked or prepared in one and then transported to another but this recollection is so vague and that I wouldn't swear to the details. Years since I went to the original one in Montpelier, it was decent enough grub
Lyba Palace on Stapleton Road is pretty good too.
I thought that was just takeaway? This thread has got my mouth-watering now. Anyone else remember The Kathmandu takeaway in Easton, that set the standard for me.
Did a BS5 pub crawl a couple of months, hate to say it but the JR is nowhere near the roughest. St Judes and Barton Hill, do they know it's the 21st century?

She looks like Alan Gilzean
The Swan with Two Necks in St Judes is good. Last time I was in they were showing England test match in one bar and England footy match in the other. Very local but all friendly.
Where did you go?
Started in The Swan with Two Necks, Armoury Tavern, Lebeqs, The Jolly Roger, The Plough, Whitehall Tavern, The Fire Engine, The Kings Head, The Russell Arms, The Lord Nelson and The Rhubarb Tavern. I also vaguely remember at least two refuelling stops at Miss Millies. A BS2 crawl has been done since I can try and dig up that list if you want.
wanted to add although I've said the term 'rough', all pubs visted were friendly, just some were in need of modernisation/makeover/on-site psychiatric services etc.. a few still do meat raffles, darts and cheap fags. HTH.

Yeah, they moved to Colston Tower but when I went there for a meal I wasn't particularly impressed. It was good, but not brilliant.
