Lunch at the Rummer – in Bristol
March 4, 2008 by HeatherCowper
There’s something a little indulgent about slipping out of work to meet your husband for lunch, even though you’ve not long said goodbye over breakfast, and will see him again in the evening.
We met at the Rummer hotel in the middle of St Nicholas market, itself full of foodie delights. It’s not so much a hotel as a cosy bar which is fast becoming our favourite for a mid-morning cappuchino, light lunch or early drink and bite to eat.
The decor is all comfy leather sofas and dark wood tables, with old stone flags and a cosy open fire. It’s the sort of place you wouldn’t feel out of place on your own or with a crowd and I saw more than one person settled in with their lap-top open and i-pod plugged in.

There’s been an inn on this site since the 13th century, and for a many years it was a traditional pub, then it fell on hard times and was boarded up, but a couple of years ago it was resurrected with a fresh contemporary look.
The food menu was good value with plenty of hot lunch options around £6 and tapas style bites for around £4. I had a haloumi crostini with sweet chilli sauce and some salad garnish – yummy.

As a bonus, the Rummer is currently hosting an exhibition of art photography by Bristol photographer Fruitsalad. I love the way they take the familiar images of Bristol and give them a colourful new twist – take a look at their photo gallery here.
