Why go
Murrays works for an easy Clevedon date night or small celebration, especially if Hill Road convenience matters. The Good Food Guide 2025 nod adds confidence, but unclear cuisine and pricing mean diners who want a more defined Modern British option should also compare Puro by Tommy Thorn.
About Murrays
For a Clevedon meal with a casual dress code, Murrays is easiest to assess by its confirmed opening pattern. The weekly rhythm is strongest for evening plans on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, while Thursday is a shorter daytime opening and Sunday and Monday are closed.
The case for choosing Murrays is strongest if you want a casual Clevedon option with clear current hours and Good Food Guide 2025 recognition. The case is weaker if you need a confirmed cuisine, published price expectation or named chef-led format before committing, because those details are not part of the profile. For diners comparing options, Puro by Tommy Thorn is another venue to consider when weighing up where to eat.
Book it for an easy Clevedon occasion, not a highly specified format
The practical appeal here is the fit: Murrays is in Clevedon, has a casual dress code and keeps evening hours on several days of the week. That makes it easier to plan for a relaxed meal than for diners who want a heavily signposted culinary format.
Because the pricing and cuisine are not pinned down in the profile, treat Murrays as a confidence pick only if flexibility is acceptable. If budget control is the main concern, check current information before choosing. If the occasion calls for comparing other venues, Puro by Tommy Thorn is one option to look at, while Chef's Table is another named alternative for diners considering a different kind of meal.
Use the opening pattern to plan the right visit
With no confirmed bottle list, by-the-glass detail or menu format, the smart way to judge Murrays is by occasion fit rather than by assumed specialties. It makes sense when the plan is a relaxed Clevedon meal and the group is comfortable choosing from the current offering rather than booking around a published culinary theme.
First-timers should use the opening pattern to choose the slot. Murrays is open from 9 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with evening hours until 9 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday is a shorter day, ending at 3 PM, Sunday and Monday are closed. For broader planning, use the Clevedon restaurants guide rather than treating this as the only viable local option.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Murrays reads like a neighbourhood Emilia-Romagna trattoria transplanted to Hill Road: a large glass frontage, silver-birch wallpaper and high ceilings give the dining room character while a deli counter inside signals a focus on ingredient provenance. Reuben Murray’s owner-operated approach since 1984 reinforces a classic, enduring personality — this is not a trend-led destination but a quietly sustained local specialist. The combination of rustic Italian touchpoints and homegrown longevity produces a cosy, charming atmosphere that feels both familiar and considered, where the sourcing work is as much a part of the story as the cooking.
Best For
This is a comfortable choice for families, groups and weekend outings as well as more relaxed date nights and small celebrations. The menu balances everyday Italian classics and heartier weekend fare — including the Sunday roast — so it suits midday visits and evening dinners. Because Murrays trades on provenance and a deli-led approach, it works well for gatherings that appreciate sturdy, well-sourced plates rather than formal tasting menus. Expect an approachable, slightly elevated neighbourhood experience rather than high-formality dining.
Ordering Tips
Start with the signature items that speak to the kitchen’s strengths: the Goat cheese and caramelised onion pizza and the Wild boar tortelloni with red pepper sauce are highlighted house favourites, and the Parma ham lasagna is another reliable classic. If you’re there on a Sunday, the Sunday roast is called out among the venue’s staples. Take advantage of the deli counter — ask staff about what’s been sourced that day and any takeaway provisions. Portions and dishes are rooted in traditional Italian cooking, so pick a mix of mains and shareable plates to get a broad sense of the kitchen.
