Boasting a menu entirely devoted to the American specialty, Mall Clifton is raising Bristol's burger game. Alongside the fail-safe cheese and bacon, you'll find a equally decadent Beyond Meat option topped with Scotch bonnet sauce.
The Royal Oak Clifton has plenty of pub classics from a Sunday roast to beer-battered fish, but the hotspot also knows a thing or two about a good cheeseburger. Served with skin on fries and on a pretzel bun, their patties are super juicy. We recommend pairing with a freshly pulled pint.
