"With a charming midway placement on Bristol’s Christmas Steps, the Scrandit offers surprising value for those with a penchant for honestly priced oysters and a convivial setting. I was altruistically guided toward the house wine, which paired perfectly with their freshly shucked offerings. The crab rarebit was cheese-forward and lacked any crustaceous funk, however we enjoyed the lobster (bisque) and rabbit pie enormously. All in all, a solid 7/10, but be prepared for modest portions."

"The Scrandit is in my opinion the embodiment of Bristol. A safe space with perfect decor and music, filled with great people and excellent food. Used to come here with my Dad during university and still continue to bring friends here to do this day. The magnificent food pop-ups from TNT Tacos to Kring Kringz keep me returning guilt-free. Josh is a great person if you ever get to speak to them. Cannot recommend this place enough. Enjoy."
