Montague Hotel Kingsdown Parade

From the Annals Of Bristol, by John Latimer.
An illustration of the bibulous habits of the Regency is afforded by a tavern bill paid by a Bristolian in August 1817, to the landlord of the Montague Hotel. The dinner which was for twelve guests, and included venison and turtle, was charged 14 guineas; dessert, 2 guineas. The giver of the feast supplied twelve bottles of wine from his private cellar. Beside this, the guests drank claret costing £7; Madeira, £1 18s; two bottles of hock, £1 8s; two bottles of champagne, £1 14s; and two bottles of port, 12s. Altogether the party must have swallowed about three bottles of liquor per head. The hotel bill amounted to £31 7s, exclusive of the wine privately supplied.

King’s Head Stokes Croft

No pub name given between 1820 and 1886, listed as the King’s Arms in 1887 and early 1890s with John Turner recorded as licensee. The King’s Arms again from 1963, recently the Pint & Pie and the Junction. In 1834 James Waters was also the owner of a glue manufactory at Froom bridge, Blackfriars, off Merchant street. In the 1851 census Elizabeth Waters is listed as … manager of gin shop.

Information on the Keen family was kindly provided by Vernon Keen, son of Gus. Vernon also points out that prior to 1963, the pub was known as Waters’ Wine Lodge; which, before, during and after the war and well in to the 1950’s, was in the hands of the Haskins family and following on from its early years as a wine lodge, sold Red and White wine and Sherry which arrived in 64 gallon butts. These were put up on the stillage in the cellars by either my father or brother with great dexterity, an old knack acquired from many years in the Trade. Total weight around 7 hundredweight (cwt)- try that next time you’re in the gym! This continued until my brother’s time and many old City Road residents will remember the October trip with a gallon bucket (or other large container!!) to the off-licence so they could buy wine to soak their fruit for the Christmas cake!! Normally the wine was sold in Flagon bottles with our own label and silvered cork covers or over the bar in “schooners”, now there’s a name from the past! Very potent.
