We couldn't fly on Friday, of course (and the skies are still closed). Went to Bristol for a long weekend instead. Nice hotel - except for the noise of the band! So moved rooms at 11:30 pm. Moved again the next day for a better room (at least got a free breakfast out of it).
Generally, I like Bristol: full of life and some nice (and not-so-nice) restaurants.
Ate at Riverstation on Friday: good food (quite posh and niceley presented) with some decent ingredients and a good - not expensive - wine list. Pretty much the same story for Saturday at the Glass Boat (well, more Italian, really). However, Sunday was a different story. Went to the Severn Shed (VERY popular) -- terrible sloppy service and I thought the food was poor. Has a semi-open kitchen -- it was interesting tio watch the 'chef' drinking several pints of beer (I think) while preparing food --- not a great advert and my advice is stay away!
