Local record
History of this pub
The Gifford was one of Beefeater’s newest restaurants. The Stoke Gifford Journal records that the new-build restaurant and adjoining Premier Inn opened to the public on 17 June 2024, behind Sainsbury’s at Fox Den Road. Local residents had been invited to staff-training meals during the previous week in return for charity donations. Its life as a Beefeater lasted little more than two years before the national closure.
Christie & Co’s sale particulars describe The Gifford as a purpose-built restaurant on one level, with extensive glazing. Its dining room was laid out around a central bar and service area, with tables, booths and a grill facing customers. The listing gives about 184 restaurant and bar seats and describes outside seating and a shared car park beside a 103-bedroom Premier Inn. These details distinguish its open, modern layout from the older inns elsewhere in the chain. The property is advertised on a leasehold basis; the advertisement does not confirm a completed transfer or a reopening.
