Nailsea Pubs Reopen After Covid-19 Lockdown
Following the easing of lockdown restrictions, many pubs in Nailsea have been welcoming back customers through their doors the past few weeks. Pubs were able to reopen earlier in July providing they complied with guidance and measures issued by the government.
In this short guide we’ve provided a brief overview of what some of the pubs in Nailsea are offering.
All information correct at time of writing (29th July 2020).

Opening on the 22nd July and serving food from the 24th, The Old Farmhouse opened slightly later than a lot of other pubs.
Their menu is slightly reduced due to the number of chefs that can be working at any one time. However, they are introducing a “Carvery to Your Table” offer whereby diners can enjoy the carvery experience from their table with unlimited vegetables and sides.
Booking is recommended, however, walk ins are welcome if tables are available. Delivery and takeaway options are available too.
Lots of changes have been made to keep everyone safe but the space indoors allows for social distancing and the garden can seat 120 people.
Due to the smaller team, they are temporarily closed on Mondays (except for Bank Holiday Monday).
For the latest updates, please see their website or Facebook.
The Ring O’ Bells
The Ring O’ Bells is offering a full menu of food Thursday to Saturday, as well as a carvery on Sundays. New to the menu, they now also offer homemade, stone-baked pizzas with a variety of toppings.
A one-way system has been implemented in the bar area for ordering drinks and food, and the function room and garden has been opened to allow more space for customers.
Those looking to eat are advised to reserve a table, however takeaway is available too.

The Royal Oak
The Royal Oak is offering a limited menu, with takeaway available on some dishes. Queueing space at the bar is extremely limited so customers are advised to order their food and drink on the order and pay app.
A one-way system is in place and the large beer garden is open for customers to eat and drink.

The pub features two distinct bar areas and a large outside garden to allow for social distancing.
The Sawyers Arms
The Sawyers Arms has been welcoming customers back since 4th July. Plenty of social distancing measures are in place – such as entry through the front door and exit through the garden – and are thus operating at a reduced capacity.
