Quay Street Dinner

It’s not very often I have an entire weekend to myself. But last weekend I found myself in that very position. With nothing planned I decided to take a drive into Bristol to meet my sister for a catch up over a spot of lunch. After putting the world to rights over a coffee and spending a ridiculous amount of time people watching by the docks it was time to eat.

A few weeks ago I was in Bristol and walked passed the Diner on Quay Street. I didn’t go in as I’d already eaten but made a mental note to return to try out their food. The place looked vibrant and energetic and the kind of place you wanted to go into. So with this in mind I suggested going there for our lunch on Saturday. We sat outside as it was a baking hot day.

The street is a little crowded with building work going on and lots of people mulling round, but it all added to the atmosphere. What also added to the atmosphere, and not in a good way, was the gaggle of drunken women who clearly had had way too much and were screeching mostly obscenities into the street! How their mothers must be proud? Anyway, we ordered our food. 32 What also added to the atmosphere, and not in a good way, was the gaggle of drunken women who clearly had had way too much and were screeching mostly obscenities into the street! How their mothers must be proud? Anyway, we ordered our food. I had the Philly Cheese steak. Having been to New York and had the original article, my expectations where high. My sister had a portion of BBQ chicken wings and house fries. I asked if my £9.95 steak sandwich came with fries and the answer was no, they were extra. For a dish that’s costing you almost a tenner I think its a really poor show that they don’t throw in chips with that! Instead I did what all big brothers do, I stole my little sisters!

The food came in good time. It tasted good and was filling. The cheese steak itself could do with some improvements but on the whole it was a nice sandwich. The fries were really good also and so was the chicken. All in all it was a good lunch. A place I’ll definitely be going back to.
