  A thoroughly boho and shabby chic little establishment in Montpelier, The Cadbury is my favourite sort of pub: a great combination of classic, dark, old pub serving pints of local cider, and youthful, liberal hideaway with funky graffiti murals, huge beer garden, and reggae music.
  
  I came here with friends on Sunday, to enjoy their special "Reggae and Roasts". It's actually quite difficult to find a pub that will do Sunday roasts beyond about 3pm, so we were pleased to find that The Cadbury serves it until 6pm. My two veggie pals chose the chickpea and nut roast, while I went for the topside of beef with all the trimmings.
  
  And what a roast it was! At the great price of £7.50, each plate came with yummy Yorkshires, roast tatties, a range of vegetables and very hot gravy. It all had a very home made feel to it, not that slightly too neat and shiny roast you get in some bigger pubs.
  
  We sat outside in the huge garden, which has several big picnic tables. The atmosphere out there is brilliant - mainly students and young professionals, but also some older locals - and before we knew it we had been out there chatting away for five hours. Delightful.

  The Cadbury is a really cool pub in St Pauls.  Very near the railway station, it's got a very large back garden, with both seating area and a grassed garden patch (I've only been here at night so have never seen the grass bit in the daylight).  It's always been really busy when I've been in.  There's a bar which has a good selection of ales, beers and spirits - they're not so strong on wine but the rest will keep you going for sure.
  
  It's got a really nice atmosphere - the indoor part isn't massive so fills up quite quickly, but the outdoor section allows for a lot more seating and is entirely heated. A really good pub in a tucked away location, well worth searching out for a drink.

  Apparently owned by the man behind St Werburgh's delightful The Farm and recently rejuvenated Montpelier pub The Old England, The Cadbury shares the trademark laidback, faintly hippyish vibe.
  
  There's nothing wildly different about this pub. It's just a pleasant, easy-going place to enjoy a pint in of an evening, with a great garden and music selection to ease the process.
  
  Which is perhaps reason enough for its popularity...

  The Cadbury House is in my opinion definitely somewhere that is worth visiting whether its to grab some good pub grub or just for a drink with a few friends. The inside is lovely and there's a very warm and welcoming atmosphere any day of the week, and the staff always have a smile on their faces which helps to make for an enjoyable experience here.
  
  They serve very reasonably priced food, making it popular with the student market as well as locals, and their grub is delicious too. On Sundays they serve a brilliant pub roast which is only around £7-£8! I would definitely recommend it in the summer months as they have a lovely little beer garden which is great on a warm summers evening. Even on colder nights the outdoors is great, as they have some of those outdoor heaters. You can't really go wrong with this pub and definitely give it a try the next time you want to try out somewhere new.

  Nothing to do with chocolate, this pub is a slightly leftfield establishment up a hill in the St. Pauls/Montpellier part of Bristol. You'll be a bit more likely to see hippyish characters here than in other pubs; The Cadbury attracts a chilled out, young crowd. This makes for friendly evening where you can sit in the garden under the porch and watch the stars for a while.
  
  It's a little out of the way, more or less in a residential area. But at only 5 minutes walk from Stokes Croft, its only a little detour on a pub crawl into town and worth it in my opinion. Also, although its up a hill the bar staff let me bring my bike in and leave it out the back, so consider cycling here. You'll probably being going downhill to get home anyway. Hidden away, The Cadbury is a gem of Bristol that you should definitely take the time to find.
