Local tips
- Book well in advance, especially for weekends. The restaurant fills quickly due to its popularity and limited seating capacity.
- Ask your server to recommend house cuts from the daily blackboard selection—weights and cuts vary, offering flexibility for different appetites and budgets.
- Budget for side dishes separately from your steak; the generous portions of mac and cheese or truffle fries are worth the additional cost but add to the final bill.
- Arrive early if you plan to enjoy the late-night bar scene; the venue transforms into a lively music venue after dinner service with local DJs and live bands.
- The chocolate dome dessert is exceptional and highly recommended—consider sharing if you're already satisfied, as portions are generous throughout the meal.

Discover more about Pasture
A Steakhouse Built on Fire and Craft
Pasture embodies the philosophy of "Fire. Meat. Music." in a beautifully restored Victorian warehouse opposite St Mary Redcliffe church. Chef patron Sam Elliott, formerly director of operations at Jamie Oliver's restaurants, opened Bristol's first location three years ago and has since expanded to Cardiff and Birmingham. The restaurant's commitment to quality begins with its sourcing: beef comes exclusively from the finest southwest farms, featuring suckled native breeds dry-aged for a minimum of 35 days. The meat is displayed prominently in chiller cabinets visible from the dining room, a transparent nod to the restaurant's confidence in its supply chain.The Theatre of Cooking
The open kitchen is the heart of Pasture's experience. Charcoal grills dominate the space, with flames visible to diners as skilled cooks work the meat with precision. The flagstone floors and warm, low lighting create an intimate yet energetic atmosphere. This theatrical approach to cooking transforms a meal into a sensory experience—the aroma of charring beef, the sound of sizzling meat, and the visual spectacle of the open flames all contribute to the dining narrative.A Menu Beyond Steaks
While the steaks are undoubtedly the showstoppers, Pasture's menu demonstrates culinary ambition across all courses. Starters include char siu pork belly with puffed crackling and competition BBQ sauce, Cornish crab with brown crab chawanmushi, and beetroot tartare with whipped cashew and elderberry gel. The short rib croquettes with gochujang aioli have become signature nibbles. House cuts—chateaubriand, tomahawk, and porterhouse—are cut fresh daily and designed for sharing, each served with two sauces and two sides such as truffle fries with aged gouda or fried broccoli with cashew yoghurt. The chocolate dome dessert, featuring dark chocolate cremeux, brownie, hazelnuts, molten caramel, and toffee ice cream, has achieved cult status among regulars.Cocktails and Late-Night Energy
The bar programme extends beyond wine, with creative cocktails such as the Coconut and Pineapple blend featuring white rum, coconut, pineapple, lemon, clarified milk, and Champagne. The late-night bar showcases local bands and DJs, transforming the space into a vibrant social hub after dinner service. This dual identity—fine dining restaurant by evening, lively bar venue after hours—appeals to both special-occasion diners and those seeking entertainment.Sourcing and Sustainability
Pasture's commitment extends to its vegetable and fruit sourcing. The restaurant operates its own farm, ensuring traceability and seasonal freshness. This vertical integration reflects a broader philosophy of supporting local producers and maintaining control over ingredient quality. The emphasis on native British breeds and regional suppliers positions the restaurant within Bristol's growing farm-to-table movement.The Dining Experience
Service is consistently noted as attentive and knowledgeable, with staff capable of guiding diners through meat selections and wine pairings. The restaurant operates a reservation system, and booking well in advance is essential, particularly for weekend dining. The noise level can be considerable during peak service, reflecting the restaurant's popularity and lively atmosphere—a trade-off some guests embrace while others find challenging for intimate conversation.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
