The story

Murrays Italian Dining in Clevedon, A Good Food Guide Recognition

The Kitchen and Its Founder

Murrays in Clevedon delivers authentic Italian cooking through a kitchen that Reuben Murray has personally managed since 1984. The menu draws directly from regional traditions while incorporating locally sourced elements like Chilli Clevedon honey. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings feature fixed price pasta and pizza deals that keep weekday service relaxed. A traditional Sunday roast anchors the weekend schedule alongside more elaborate seasonal plates.

Light Spaces and the Courtyard Enoteca

High ceilings and silver birch wallpaper create a bright dining room behind a large glass frontage. This airy layout pairs naturally with the adjacent wine shop and bakery. Weekend evenings see the outdoor courtyard transform into an enoteca space. Guests gather there to share cicchetti and antipasti while browsing a curated selection of Italian wines available for purchase at the adjoining deli.

Seasonal Plates and Traditional Desserts

The Italian kitchen balances rustic comfort with precise ingredient sourcing. Starters often highlight roasted Delica pumpkin served with caciocavallo cheese and crisp sage leaves. Main courses rotate between wild boar tortelloni tossed in red pepper sauce and slow roasted chicken legs accompanied by braised harissa chickpeas, potatoes and mint yoghurt. Pastry programmes stick to familiar staples like coffee panna cotta or a warm Sicilian pannetone bread and butter pudding. This consistent approach earned the establishment a Good Food Guide distinction.

The Good Food Guide — Good

A fixture of the local restaurant scene since 1984, Reuben Murray’s personally run neighbourhood eatery, wine shop, bakery and deli is just a short jaunt uphill from Clevedon’s pretty Victorian pier, at the top of a pleasant shopping street. The large glass frontage, silver-birch wallpaper and high ceilings give the place a light, airy feel that chimes perfectly with a menu of authentic Italian food featuring local and imported artisan produce. Excellent pizzas and temptingly filled sandwiches satisfy the lunchtime crowd, alongside more sophisticated dishes such as a cicchetti-style starter of roast Delica pumpkin with chilli Clevedon honey, caciocavallo cheese and sage crisps or a pasta course of wild boar tortelloni with red pepper sauce. Substantial secondi might feature roast chicken leg with braised harissa chickpeas, potatoes, red onion and mint yoghurt, while desserts are traditional staples such as coffee panna cotta or warm Sicilian pannetone bread and butter pudding. Fixed-price pizza/pasta deals liven up Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and there's a traditional Sunday roast too. On weekend evenings, the courtyard garden turns into an ‘enoteca’ with its own menu of cicchetti and antipasti to accompany choices from an impressive list of Italian wines, many of which you can also buy to take home from the adjoining deli.
