Blending the hip & the wholesome - Bristol born, community-driven and full of flavour

Combining the best in British pub hospitality with individuality, character and quirky charm, The Old Spot is an independently owned pub just a stone’s throw away from Bristol’s famously independent Gloucester Road. The Old Spot is the perfect setting for a laid-back yet distinctly memorable drinking and dining experience. Whether you’re looking for a lazy brunch, relaxed lunch, indulgent dinner, sumptuous Sunday roast, or social eats and treats with friends and family, The Old Spot offers an enticing range of flavoursome dishes incorporating classic British ingredients with a creative twist. All accompanied by our exceptional range of cask ales, fine wines and artisan spirits with an authentic, homely atmosphere to suit all occasions. The Old Spot’s best kept secret is the huge enclosed colourful beer garden, complete with castle for the little ones to play in. This gorgeous family friendly garden comes to life during the summer months offering a great place to relax and unwind.

Last night we said goodbye to Josh, who is heading off to pastures new!

Josh joined us at the ripe old age of 16 and has been a huge part of The Old Spot ever since. He’s been an absolute hero over the years and a real staple in our kitchen and around the pub.

It’s been such a pleasure having him as part of the team and watching him grow up into a genuinely lovely young man.

We’re really going to miss him, but we wish him all the very best. This one will go far.

Thanks for everything, Josh! ❤️ Hero!

🎪 Circus activities for the kids
✂️ Kids’ crafts
🍴 Food served all day
🍺 Cold pints aplenty

Then from 3pm the live music kicks off…

🎶 with the shanty tunes
🎸 Aaron Shawt (AZ Acoustic)— he was SO good at our summer party in May that we had to get him back
🍀 MyTinMonkey finishing off the night with their brilliant Irish-ish party tunes

And even better… the sun looks like it might actually be shining! ☀️

We can’t wait.

Can you believe that next Saturday marks 12 YEARS of The Old Spot?! 🥹🍻

Honestly, it’s crazy to think about and our birthday is always one of our absolute favourite days of the whole year. The vibes are always brilliant, the pub is buzzing and hopefully the sun will be shining for us too. ☀️

We’ve got live music, loads for the kids, great food, cold pints and plenty more going on throughout the day.

So come on down, bring the family, grab your mates and come and say hello. 💛

Cheers to 12 years! 🍻

MEET PHIL & AMY 👋🏼🥧

The husband-and-wife team behind Bristol Pie Society.

If you know us from The Gloucester Old Spot, you’ll probably know that we’re never very good at sitting still… and Bristol Pie Society is our next little adventure together.

Back in lockdown, we started making pies from the pub and what began as a small idea quickly turned into thousands of pies heading out across Bristol and beyond.

We always knew we wanted to bring them back properly and now we finally are!

Bristol Pie Society is the next chapter of The Gloucester Old Spot: proper handmade pies, made by us in Bristol, with four new flavours released every month.

Phil is the pie man 👨🏻‍🍳
Amy is the one making sure everyone knows about them. 😂

We’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on.

Welcome to Bristol Pie Society 💜

Launching 1st October

WE’VE BEEN KEEPING SOMETHING QUIET… (ish) 🥧

Alongside everything happening at The Old Spot, we’ve been busy working on our next little adventure…(those of you who know me and my husband Phil, you’ll know we love a project)

Remember Lockdown Pies? They’re officially coming back, this time as Bristol Pie Society.

Born from our love of proper handcrafted pies and very much the next chapter of The Gloucester Old Spot.

Bristol Pie Society will officially launch on 1st October.

There’s plenty more to tell you, and we’ll be sharing it all over the next few weeks, how it works, what we’ve been working on and, most importantly, the pies. 👀

We’re not going to hijack the pub’s socials (too much 😉) so head on over to Bristol Pie Society and give us a follow.

01.10.26 - Here we go 🥧
