    I've wanted to go to Beese's since a friends showed me a photo about a year ago. I finally made it…read morethere last weekend and it was everything I was expecting and more! It was about a 20 minute walk from my mates house and incredible to think that you can get from St George to somewhere so lovely in a few minutes. Not that St George isn't lovely, but, um, you know what I mean! We got to the pub and had to call them to get someone to pick us up on the boat - which is the only way to get to them from the other side of the river. We sat outside and luckily for us (maybe not for some) there was some background music from a 40th party at the other side of the garden - which I loved, but some might not! The bar menu was pretty basic, but not short of your standard largers, beers, ciders and top shelf spirits. Food wise the menu was good. Nothing fancy but a decent selection of pub grub: burgers, wraps, steak, chips etc all nicely cooked. There were quite a few dogs in the garden which again I really liked. I don't have a dog but if I did then I'd definitely take it for a walk and 'spontaneously' stop here for the rest of the afternoon! I walked to the bar at one point and there was a mother duck with 4 little chicks running around the garden. I'm used to living in the city so I'm definitely not used to that; it was great! I hope summer never ends so I can go back to Beese's and sit in the garden every weekend!

    When (the operative word) we get a sunny summer day I like to head down to Beese's for a lazy…read moreafternoon. Situated on the banks of the Avon, its a tea shop and riverside bar all rolled into one quaint package - great for a date or a light lunch with your nan! The full cream tea is less than £4 and they do a stonking BBQ too, with delish veggie alternative like double portobello mushroom burger with halloumi. Best of all, I like hopping on the Conham water ferry after my lunch, fare just 25 pence across the river and dogs go free! What's nice about the riverside cosiness of it is the history. The old Mrs Beese opened it in 1846, the captain of the ferry was Mr Beese. The decking area is chillax central, and they'll even erect a marquee for your wedding reception. Aww.
