Best chicken tenders in Venice Florida hands down, service always good. Also has a train the goes around the entire restaurant that I enjoy watching while I eat my chicken tenders. They have Chicken gravy as well that's also super good: not sure how any of the other food is but definitely try the chicken tenders read more

First time at the new location. I can say my wife and I enjoyed our meal very much. Our server Alexis was on the spot and took care of our every need. My wife had the Prime Rib. It was cooked to perfection with red mashed potatoes and peas. That Au Jus was its own food group. I had the Steak and Ale Pie cooked with the pastry puff on top. We had the Baked Brie platter for starters, and topped it off with the Bread Pudding for dessert. I paired my meal with a local cider from Plant City. All in all my experience with this establishment was above positive and it just may have taken over my favorite restaurant in Venice. read more

I'd give it less if I could. If you think your food stinks the first time they mess up your order....just wait to see the mess (they call your dinner) on the second go around. Used to be a great place to eat, but those days are behind all of us.... What a shame.... read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in BOP for some team trivia while in town on vacation. Everyone at BOP was so friendly and outgoing. Several of the regulars also introduced themselves as well. If you are looking for a friendly, fun place with a great beer selection, I highly recommend the British Open Pub. We will be back whenever we are in town. read more

I went on Friday and although the restaurant was busy I was seated expediently. I am a craft beer guy and was pleasantly surprised by their vast selection and variety. Our server was friendly from the start and our drinks arrived without delay. My girlfriend's pub punch was strong and tasty. For food I went with the all you can eat fish and chips for $15, be a deal at twice the price in my mind. The fish and chips came out crispy and super fresh tasting. The second portion i ordered came out even tastier. My girlfriend went with the Beef Bomber. She will typically eat half her dinner and take the rest home but it was so good her plate was clean and no doggie bag needed. A table next to ours ordered the Medium Honey Garlic wings as an appetizer and they looked and smelled so good. I can't wait to try them on our next visit. We stopped at the bar for an after dinner drink and were delighted by Bruce the bartender's wit and charm. Good stuff BOP!! read more

Nice ad said friendly place, everyone would know my name. Couldn't wait to leave. Phony ambiance

BOP is one of my favorite neighborhood places to go because the food is pretty good. Service is also good. Wait time during season can be long so we usually end up going somewhere else. The only complaint I have is the place is beginning to look run down and not as clean as it used to be since the moved to the new place. Hope the owner sees this....Trey your old manager kept the place very tidy and always managed to get us seated even on a busy night ! read more

The food was very good! The booth was a little too small and the door to the outside patio was disturbing as it let the hot humid air blow onto the table. Our server was not attentive to our needs, with drinks or checking to see if we needed anything else. After the bill was paid, we were finishing up our drinks and the server Carol was rude when telling us we have 5 minutes to get out because a reservation was coming in. IDEA...do not pay the bill until you are immediately ready to leave. Sorry we left such a large tip for the server. Sadly because of the bad experience, don't think we will go back. read more

Beer was cold on a hot sunny day, only problem was sitting outside to many people bought their dogs, had to go inside because of the barking but as for the food it was good and everything came out fresh and hot read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the entire world. We drive 20-25 minutes over from Siesta Key to eat here. BOP has the most authentic British meat pies and pasties that I've had outside of England. The atmosphere is lovely; perfect for any golf fan or Anglophile (or both!) Try the chicken and mushroom pie... You won't regret it! read more

We went there Friday night, wow, amazing and super busy. Looking forward to off season when most of the birds are gone so I can enjoy a peaceful meal without having to hear eh, oout, etc. Food ; had fish and chips, so goooood, and a full service bar, I think 20 taps of beer, Andrea was our host behind the bar, can't recall her partner's name, but he knows his beers! Thank You for moving to the neighborhood. Dan read more

Having visited the prior location on Tamiami Trail we decided to try the new location on Jacaranda. We were seated in the back dining room which was supposed to look like a library but it was very noisy. The new facility lacks the pub atmosphere that we expected and were used to. The menu is much different at the new location but that wasn't half the problem. The food was mediocre at best and lacked any resemblance to British food. The corned beef was more like sliced deli meat. The fish appeared to be frozen and lacked taste. If the food quality remains the same and the ambiance stays strip-mallish this relocation will be the demise of a once good restaurant. read more

Maybe I came on a bad day, but this place was better before they moved. I came for my birthday on an early Sunday evening to avoid any potential crowds. We stood and waited for someone to come out at seat us for about 5 minutes. I'm not sure what was going on, but guests were in the bar and restaurant, but no staff was to be seen. The service was average. It seemed like one man was working all the tables in the dining room. The food was so-so. The scotch eggs didn't seem very fresh and the mashed potatoes in my bangers and mash were lukewarm. (yet the peas were piping hot). I should have sent them back but, everything was fairly tasty none-the-less. I'm not a "regular" but I can recall the experience being much better before they moved to the new location. read more

Always amazing service and delicious food. I'm a sucker for a good Caesar salad and BOP sure has a good one. Also the "chips" are fantastic!

Love the new location, our meal very nice . Scotch eggs & Sausage Rolls were nicely cooked & well presented. I am a true " limey" and a pretty good judge of what's good & really "British" Not to be critical ,but, some of the bar staff need a little extra training on pouring Guiness correctly. Will definitely recommend & return in the future read more

This place is amazing you have a bar with your dogs and you have regular bills for families went to my favorite dish is the chips with the ranch dip very good very French all the drinks very nice there and read more

Took my 97 year old mother to lunch a couple weeks ago and we were both very pleased. Food and service was very good. We will definitely be back. read more

The BrioOpen Pub is Overrated! The server looked like she just woke up. Horrible service. The food we ordered was cold. I Do not recommend the British Open Oub in Venice Florida read more

I like this place and would prefer to give 5 stars. The food is good and the service is generally very good and friendly. In the last two visits I have been a bit ticked about the same young man they have as a host. Tonight as my wife and I walked up to the host desk he decided to take a phone call instead of attending to us. I heard him say "I'm not sure if we have Irish dancing tomorrow" and he walked off to find out. We stood there for 5 minutes while this moron tried to find someone to answer the question ....I assume. Management ....train your employees to care for customers in your place of business before they run off to play trivia with people calling your place. Otherwise I really like the place. read more

Delicious food and great atmosphere. The train the goes around the room is adorable. I just wish the food was less expensive, then I'd eat there all the time. read more

Had dinner tonight in the dining room with my mom. We both had drinks and prime rid dinners. They were perfectly cooked and we loved the mashed potatoes and steak fries. Peas and carrots were good too. Low price for what we had. Very good service and place was crowded. Will definitely be back! read more

The food was meh and the experience was meh. All in all I probably won't go back based on my visit. We ordered several things off the menu, and they were all just mediocre. There was nothing that we tried that was like "ohh. I need to get this again." When my friend asked what beers they had, the server just said "a lot." So my friend asked for details and the server listed about 5, then said "and others." Not overly friendly. read more

The food was ok just o k. S erver seemed to not care.told server my cornedbeef wsway ro tuf his coment was well they probably cut the meat the wrong way that was it inotherwords they don't care just shut your mouth and eat whatever they plate.Sorry I cant do that I want a place where everything is great. read more

Attractive pub-like setting with excellent and attentive staff. The onion ring/deep friend mushrooms were excellent as was the fish and chips. Bangers and mash and cottage pies were tasty but the corn beef was cut thin and over cooked. read more

Service and food was great. Had the crab cakes, not in the shape I expected but they were very good. Prices are very reasonable.

Friend recommended BOP as great for fish fry and liver w/onions. I couldn't resist the Meatloaf wellington and was pleasantly surprised and loved it! All at table were satisfied. Only the nearby roundabout was a hassle. read more

our waitress was not very helpful in her knowledge of what type of rum they carried and made a remark to us that she is not a bartender. i thought that a pretty snarky remark Cobb salad average Shepards pie very good read more

First time at the newly opened restaurant and they certainly have some work to do. We were seated at 4PM (old folks) but had to summon the owner to get a server after a wait of 10 minutes. Owner was very apologetic and explained that it was the changing of the shifts. Still the hostess should have handled it better. I ordered the Fish and Chips, large size for $12.99. The fish was very lightly breaded and was mushy. I'm used to the coating to be harder more cooked, but that might be British way of frying??. Steak fries were fine. My wife had the bangers and mashed, which again was very bland reflecting the normal British cuisine. Her food was just okay. We're not sure we will be back but we live only a half a mile away and it would be convenient to have a nice local restaurant, but it has to be a good place to go. The bar seats about 16 and was full at 4PM. Overall we were disappointed. MIght try it again in several months once they get their feet on the ground and make the necessary changes and improvements. I think this place is double their older place which might account for some of the problems read more

Can't say this was a favorite dinner. Shepherd,s pie tasted left over. Beer was good tho as was the service.

newly opened location; went to try it out. very crowded, full; ordered fish and chips, reubin sandwich. Horrible, Most Horrible, said Lady Mcbeth as she walked out the door. Fish breading very thick, mushy on the inside; not much fish; reubin barely warm, not apetising at all. Fries limp, tasteless. What a disappointment!! read more

My wife and I went in for authentic fish and chips. Service was excellent but the cook was completely unaware of virtues of salt. After pouring most of bottle of salt on my food, I can say we enjoyed our meal. read more

food was fine, prices are high for food and drinks, nice location with ample parking in safe lighted area, I do find the conservative old folks at the bar annoying and pushy in their opinions and very loud. place could be brighter inside and staff a little more friendly. serving sizes were on small size, menu selection was fine. my beer was on flat side, lots of foam no carbonation in beer. very average English pub read more

I had the 6oz burger with fries and it was delicious! Hand made patty and fresh, crisp accoutrements- fresh fries - good service. I heard others comment on their satisfaction while there - read more

Every one at our table of eight enjoyed the food and drink except the guy that ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was skimpy and came on a roll that seemed to have been frozen and oven thawed. Why can' we get good crispy crust rolls and bread in Fl? read more

The British Open Pub is a good place to grab a bite to eat. I had the seafood platter dish with shrimp and crab cakes. There were 5 good sized shrimp and good plump crab cake! The remoulade for the crab cakes are great. Instead of the mashed potatoes I ordered the garlic red potatoes. And I ordered the peas which added with the butter I got with my roll was very delicious. Overall this restaurant was great the ambience was cozy and the waitress wAs nice and attentive. read more
