Bristol pub has longest waiting list in UK with some punters waiting years for Sunday roast slot

There's one pub in Bristol that has the longest wait for a table for Sunday lunch than any other restaurant in the country. That's right - even longer than Heston Blumthetal's The Fat Duck in Bray or The Cove Club in London.

Restaurant booking management experts at Dojo have found the hardest UK restaurants to get into, using insight from TikTok, online reviews and waitlists from restaurants themselves. Bank Tavern in Bristol has a four-year backlog for Sunday bookings due to forced nationwide closures during the pandemic.

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Bristol city centre, The Bank Tavern has stood in the same spot since the 19th century. The pub says that it’s survived "an alarming number of riots, two world wars, Bristol City Council town planners and Thatcher".
