    Well that's why I need help in choosing a place to go!

    I DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR BRISTOL SO NEED HELP ON THIS ONE!

    I was making a decision as we are meeting in 2 days time and need to know where to go.

    Thanks for the suggestion, any others?

    There's a Wetherspoons (The Berkeley) on The Triangle which is OK for drinks and mediocre for food. Similarly, there's another (The Commercial Rooms) just down the hill in the centre.

    Also nearby there's the Slug & Lettuce (bit posh/trendy I think, not sure if they do food), then there's stuff like Pizza Express, Greenhouse and plenty of places I've never been.

    Any other Bristolians got any ideas?

    TBH I'm a "play it by ear" kind of guy when it comes to pubs and such, so it's amazing that you've got anything out of me!

    has to be in the town center somewhere as the Triangle, Clifton etc etc are quite a distance for anyone walking.
    It is Inevitable.....

    I feel honoured by your presence! Pizza Express might be good for dinner, as it's one of my faves.

    Ikonia - Staying in the centre was my thought as I will have to keep moving my car otherwise.

    I think we'll stick to the commercial rooms then for an 11am meet up as it's easy, then we can play it by ear from there.

    If you're coming, please could you PM me your mobile number and I'll check them before I leave this time!

    Well there is always pasta or salad. Or get a pizza without cheese, seafood pizzas are normally served without cheese in proper italians. They will easy make one without, and i bet it will be just as good

    This is what I like about pizza express, that they will cater to anything really. Ade I'm not too sure about, but we can always do waht we did in glasgow!
