Dining in Bristol, UK, for end-of-year do?

Question

I'm trying to find a place to eat for my end-of-year11 prom/presentation event at lunchtime. It needs to be in Bristol or very near and fairly posh as we will all be in ballgowns! There's a group of about 20 of us. If anyone could help that would be fantastic! Thanks.

Answer 1

You could try the Marriot Royal (used to be The Swallow Royal) at the bottom of Park Street or there's the Glass Boat.

Good luck and enjoy

Answer 2

How about the glass boat?  I hear that  its great!

Answer 3

Ballgowns at lunchtime! Not usual but should be good fun.

If you want it posh and stylish then try Kings Weston House (see URL below). It may be a bit big for 20 bodies but call them and discuss it.

The Aztec Hotel at Patchway is a 4* establishment located near the M4/M5 Almondsbury Interchange so it's easy to find. They'll handle a "posh frocks" party with aplomb. (see URL below)

Make sure the fellows all wear "black tie" too. It's a courtesy thing, men who don't dress to match their ladies are thinking more about themselves than respecting the occasion.

Answer 4

MOST Chinese will accommodate you
