Here are some of the best Bristol pubs to while away those autumn days.
The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer

Boyce's Avenue, Clifton
A renovation a few years back made one of Clifton's favourite pubs even more cosy, with plenty of leather arm chairs and deep sofas to snuggle into for an afternoon in front of the fire.
