testimonials.

  • “When we were planning our wedding in my hometown of Bristol there was only one place we wanted to host our small wedding party. We took over the courtyard outside littlefrench and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food, drinks and service that made our day and evening so memorable. The food was incredible and the wines exceptional… My friends are still talking about the amazing food and the whole experience two years later.”
    Fiona & Tim
  • “For the last two years we have run an Annual South West Networking Dinner at littlefrench. Freddy and the team have been fantastic from concept through to the dinner itself. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The service on the night on both occasions has been flawless. It also goes without saying that the food has been off-the-charts. Every single client and customer who has attended the event has vowed to return with partners, family and friends. I cannot recommend littlefrench and the team highly enough.”
    Simon Lindrea, Senior Partner, Page Executive (part of the Page Group)
  • For the last three years we’ve had the great fortune to have Freddy and his team provide food for our events team and judges at The IEWA - an annual English tasting event - and every time they’ve absolutely smashed it out of the park. Both in planning the event and on the day itself their team somehow work with zero fuss, are totally unflappable, and always always always operate with good grace and humour to the fore. Oh, and the food is just incredible - and gets better each year, although I’m really not sure how. Wonderful stuff, thanks guys.
    Alex Taylor, IEWA (independent English wine awards)

"The fnest French food I’ve eaten in a long time is here, in Westbury Park, Bristol-sur-Avon, a newcomer from the chef Freddy Bird (late of the local waterfront stalwart the Lido) and his French wife, Nessa. Bird, a bearded bear of a man only just contained by his tiny kitchen, radiates infectious delight in his new baby."

Marina O’Loughlin, The Sunday Times, August 2019

"littlefrench is good. Very good indeed. It’s the sort of small, unpretentious bistro – with copper-topped tables and comfortable booths – that is now rarer in France than a jolly Parisian...the sort of menu, bursting with Gallic greatest hits... that you want to marry and grow old with it"

Tom Parker Bowles, The Mail on Sunday, August 2019
"This neighbourhood bistro’s authentic Gallic feel will warm your soul. It’s family owned and run and is certainly a busy place, with visitors being warmly welcomed as if they were regulars. Well-executed dishes are fresh and hearty with a rustic style and bags of favour; in the evening go for one of their sharing dishes."
Tim Hayward in the FT Weekend Magazine February 2020

"Littlefrench brims with a sense of largesse that I’ve not felt for months. Rare onglet arrives in a red wine jus packed with melted shallots and alongside a gargantuan heap of crisp, salty fries: this is steak frîtes elevated way past pub grub level."

Grace Dent in The Guardian, July 2020

The Michelin Guide

"Freddy Bird is in the kitchen and his wife Nessa is on the foor, serving his classic, simple, French-inspired food."
