����� 5 STARS ALWAYS!
Good food & alcohol. Very friendly staff & family friendly place! Highly recommend *_*
On Friday we held a surprise party in the Venga garden. We had c90 guests and had a massive paella. The staff, food and atmosphere could not have been better. I would highly recommend this venue for a quiet meal or a private party. Awesome!!
The New Zealand wine tasting on Friday was a fabulous evening; great atmosphere, great wines and great information (and as for the cheese...! �) thank you Mike ��� � � �

The best place in Portishead, food, wine, GnT, staff are just the best!! The garden is the place to be, a credit to your hard work Mike and Chris x
Hello to all at Venga! I just wanted to say thankyou so much for a great meal on Thursday. We had our work party with you and I've had amazing feedback from everyone. The food was top quality and there was plenty of it and the atmosphere is brilliant. You were very accommodating and the staff were great. Our vegetarian was touched that you'd gone to the effort of her own dishes as such short notice! Great place. Will definitely be back, thanks again, Laura (and the work bunch) x
Had a lovely evening. Very busy. Tapas delicious as were the drinks. So impressed with friendly, efficient staff a n d very reasonable bill. Thank you.
Highly recommended. Definitely go again. Really happy staff.
We had a lovely time. Great wine and lovely tapas. Lovely staff. A spur of the moment evening, that was very pleasant indeed! We will be returning!
Amazing night ,great tapas,great staff and with loved ones what could be better. Thank goodness my daughter lives in Portishead as we can go whenever we're visiting which just happens to be very soon again 100% satisfied.
Just used the private dining area (upstairs) at Venga for a public speaking seminar with a set menu (£20 pp) for 11 people. The food was excellent and sensitively served by knowledgeable staff i.e. without interfering with the presentation side of our evening. The room makes an ideal venue for such events. The evening was a Gordano Breakfast Rotary Club event and I'm sure we will use the facility again. Thank you!
Venga is my favourite to eat and drink in Portishead. The beer garden is wonderfully decorated and cosy irrespective of the weather. The natural ambiance and welcoming staff does always ensure a special and memorable experience.
Excellent as ever but no NZ Sauvignon sadly....
Yet another fabulous meal at Venga! I can't rave enough about this place, brilliant atmosphere, service and the food is wonderful. So authentic, you would think you are on holiday rather than in Portishead! Already looking forward to next time.
FANTASTIC!! The food was beautiful! The staff were very helpful and welcoming! Most possibly one of the best meals I have ever experienced!!! Couldn't fault it in anyway! Such a great variety of food! Will be recommending to everyone!! The garden out the back made the experience feel like you was on holiday great atmosphere! Thank you!!!
It's by far and away the best restaurant in Portishead!
If you want cheap food prepared with no love, go elsewhere. If you want a shoddy wine list, go elsewhere. If you want to be served by staff that don't want to work and don't enjoy working, go elsewhere.
If however, you enjoy awesome food, cooked with love and passion, served in a vibrant atmosphere by people who want you to have a 5* experience then it's definitely the place for you!!
Thank you to you and your team for a superb evening!! Can't wait to come back! Just need to think of an excuse!!
Cool place, great food loved the rooftop bar, will order better weather next time!
Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!
Thank you Mike and Chris for a fantastic night last night. We (all 34 of us) had an amazing time; the food was great and the service couldn't be faulted! You really looked after us and made us feel special! I will definitely be recommending friends to visit Venga!!

I absolutely love venga, it's the perfect place to go to catch up with friends or straight from work for a cheeky tipple. The garden is a show stopper and my second home this summer! Pure class, very welcoming and friendly staff!
Always a pleasure to pop "next door" every time we are in Portishead ���
Thoroughly enjoyed our evening there recently. Varied menu, great food, relaxing atmosphere. Hope to see you again soon.
Best place in Portishead to meet friends and family. Great atmosphere. Can't wait for the summer to enjoy the garden.

Defo will be back again. First time today and Izzy, Laila,Rory and all staff exceeded customer service. Food incredibly tasty, environment for all kind of public. Suitable for private parties! AMAZING SUNDAY ROAST but also worth to try their tapas!! And amazing cocktails...Will pay more visits. Thanks IZZY!!!! Franc
We hired out the private room for Sunday lunch, there was 16 of us, what a lovely room, excellent service, very friendly staff, food was amazing will highly recommend and will definately return
Perfect place for a recent gender reveal party. Really lovely outdoor space . Staff were really helpful and accommodating. Look forward to coming back soon
Update 26/7/23. Fantastic new menu guys! The new fish pie was to die for and the fish tacos were absolutely excellent!! Thank you so much
Yet another sublime Sunday roast. Thanks so much for fitting us in guys. Hassleback potatoes were particularly good today and the meat was as beautiful as ever
Great vibes, atmosphere, excellent customer service but wasnt impressed about the quality of foods. They looked low profile to be honest and way too overpriced.
My partner had a issue the owner dealt with it with real charm and concern .Was a fantastic evening with great food and really good value
We went for a roast dinner at Venga. Our booking was at 4pm. Great service and atmosphere the food was very nice and a good choice of vegetables. My only complaint was no roasties only new potatoes. We both wanted the Mediterranean chicken but they had run out due to a large group booking. So I would suggest you request on booking so you are not disappointed. We also had a jug of Sangria with the meal. Overall nice food and friendly staff
Fabulous food, amazing service, wonderful atmosphere- great venue- thank you so much for a brilliant evening ❤️
What a roast ..... with a twist. Early birthday treat. Thank you to Campbell and his staff. Such good service, as always. Loved every minute of it. Best beef I have ever had. It came out in a huge paella dish (hence the twist) and the cauliflower cheese was in another dish. Too much for us to finish it all (shame) but we had a good go and yes we finished the cauliflower cheese :) can't wait to come back.
Our family had four really filling Sunday lunches ( we had all meat options available ). All were generous and of excellent quality. Service was very attentive. Music and ambiance also very good. One tiny gripe is that the soft drinks could be less pricey. Would recommend. The Steads.
Came for an evening meal with family coming over from the US.
Easy to book and a lovely welcome. Very good service from waiters and nice ambience.
We ordered 2 tapas each plus chips and 2 bottles of white wine between 4 of us. The quality of the food was excellent, so we ordered a dessert dish, which took a long time coming, so we weren’t charged for it.
Total cost came to £30 each for the meal which is not cheap, but it is very good quality!
First time at venga. Nice atmosphere. Food was good and service at table brilliant. Very relaxed atmosphere . Had that eating abroad feel to it with the cooking smells and music. Toilet facilities were clean. Would visit again but I do think I would book as it is very popular especially around 6pm.
Just like to add . 4 to 5 stars. Went for Xmas eve 2022. Amazing atmosphere and they cooked paella with Christmas ingredients and it was amazing.
Wish the evening didn't have to end. What was really nice is I heard they were doing meals for people who struggling on this Xmas day for free. Not many restaurants do such kinds things like this.
Lovely atmosphere, the Secret Garden is very cute. Often quite busy so recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Good range of cocktails and the team there are always happy to help.
Fab fab fab what a place. Staff, food, ambiance immense. Wish this was our local. Joe was lovely but so were all the other staff. Just don’t change …,it’s wonderful (but maybe a sherry menu!) can’t wait to return ☺️
We were here visiting for our sisters’ 40th birthday and had the garden area booked for the celebration! The staff were friendly and helpful, service was excellent and the music was great! We had an absolute blast and didn’t want it to end! Thank you to the team for a truly memorable evening!!
The seating process was very quick and the staff where very welcoming to us. The menu was filled giving a great variety of tapas to choose from. When the food arrived it was very nice and enjoyable. Despite, the slight mishap in the order not fully going through to the bar, once, The drinks were amazing. overall a great experience topped with good food and drinks.
Four of us went for lunch and ordered from the sharing menu. We ordered chicken, lamb and pork. Chicken came with a delicious spicy lime sauce, pork with crackling etc... sauces were delivered separately and all the meats arrived in a large sharing dish with the potatoes and vegetables underneath. At first we were a little unsure, as we'd taken the parents and wouldn't usually share like this, but once we got over that, everyone got stuck in and we all agreed that the food was absolutely delicious. The meat just fell open/off the bone and everything was cooked to perfection. We love our vegetables, so the only change I would have made, would have been to have had more vegetables as potatoes and carrots aside there was very little else. The only reason I gave a 4 was because the seating was a little uncomfortable for two of us and the seat kept moving, so we had to keep resetting it. Staff were lovely and I actually think the chef came out at one stage, which is always a nice touch.
Best Sunday lunch I've had in ages well worth it
A family Sunday lunch, staff great,food excellent,and more than enough,not our first visit or our last. Would advise to book if a bigger party.👍👍
