The Hen Chicken - Bristol, City of

I’ve had an up and down relationship with this place for years. Today was the worst. The staff were serving who they liked the look of, and all congregating at one end of the bar like it was a social occasion, and not work. It’s always a great feeling to be stood at the bar for 5 mins only for one of the clique to stand beside you and get served first. Not sure how I managed to hold my tongue. The owner needs to be onsite more to take control of this behaviour that has made us walk out and pop to The Malago instead.

Came here with my boyfriend and dog for some food after work one evening. The staff were very friendly and provided quick service. The pub is very dog friendly and had a great atmosphere. We ordered a pizza and loaded fries to share and it was delicious. I will definitely be coming back to the Hen and and Chicken again!

I am not one usually inclined to write reviews, but I felt I had to do so after the great experience I recently had when I came to the Hen and Chicken with some friends for food and drinks. The pub itself has a great buzz/atmosphere where the staff were very friendly and attentive. I find a lot of pubs nowadays lack this, but the Hen and Chicken certainly doesn’t! We all really liked the selection of local beers that were available at the bar. I would recommend the “Wanna Go To The Sun” pale ale. The food menu offered a good variety of dishes, I ordered the squid, a margarita pizza from the dedicated pizza oven and loaded pulled pork fries. Everything ordered was made to a high standard, which were all delicious! I would certainly recommend a visit!

Attended for an event upstairs. Good levels of staff so quick service getting drinks and pizza smelled delightful. Looks like they hired more staff and got better service compared to previous reviews!

I have been a few times recently and love this place. The food is good, friendly service and good choice of beers. They often have events on such as Jazz nights in a room at the back on thursdays.
