I keep thinking that the Weatherspoons in Temple would be good, foods okay and 2 meals for £6 or something. Pretty sure bikes can't be parked out front though.

Then there's Quincey's at Filton - bikes can be parked out front- foods pricey-ish for what you get and it's mainly fried. Easy to get to as it's not in town centre.

What about the Ostrich on the quay at Redcliffe. Was refurbed a while back and seems to have a cheap menu. Think plenty room for bikes, but you may not be able to see them from windows. Its actually quite hard to think of somewhere that ticks all the boxes when you add in the parking issue.

Vix and I had a bit of a think and a tour around to look for a suitable venue.
The one that came out tops is the "Fox Den" at Stoke Gifford.

Very easy to get to, plenty of room inside, food is good, plenty of parking etc.
The only thing it doesn't have is female students in short skirts - so bring your own!

For a better map and directions from M32 J1 go here.

I suggest we give it a go this coming Thursday, if we don't like it we can try somewhere else.
