Coq

In Clifton, Bristol, Coq keeps things delightfully simple: exceptional food, warm service, and a place people love returning to. Founded by two brothers united by a passion for hospitality, this trusted local favourite’s built its reputation on doing the basics brilliantly and letting flavour lead the way.

The kitchen leans into comfort with craft, centred on buttermilk fried chicken and unapologetically indulgent burgers. Festive without the fuss, the Christmas Co marries deep-fried chicken with Bramley apple brightness, cranberry jack cheese and a whisper of smoked sausage. For something bolder, the gauche cag pairs braised beef and Monterey Jack with sriracha mayo over tender, crunchy chicken - a confident nod to big, bold flavours.

Sides step confidently out of the background. Truffle and parmesan fries or mac and cheese loaded fries bring indulgence, while drumsticks arrive dusted in truffle and parmesan or turned buffalo hot.

Whether it’s a speedy pit stop or a leisurely evening, Coq offers the kind of welcome that keeps Clifton coming back. Swing by, tuck in, and let the good times cluck.
