Meeting · 40 guests · September 2026 · Meeting & Networking Room

Caroline at Toto's was really friendly and helpful both before the event helping us choose menu options, seat layout etc. and on the day with timings and setting up technology. The venue is in a lovely location overlooking the water while also being central so convenient for Bristol's main office areas as well as Bristol Temple Meads station. The space itself was perfect for a presentation and the technology (wireless projector) worked flawlessly. We went for the indoor BBQ option (burgers) which were really nice and meaty with generous portions and plenty of sides. I would definitely use Totos again for a future event
