The Grace, formerly Robin Hood's Retreat.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-23.
Robin Hood's Retreat was until recently the name of a restaurant in Bristol. After a change of owners the place reincarnated as The Grace in 2014.[1]
The website 'UK Pub History Research and London Historical Street Directory' lists the following information from trade directories for this pub:
Presumably the pub was then named the 'Robin Hood', 'Robin Hood & Little John', the 'Robin Hood Inn' etc. 'Robin Hood's Retreat' sounds fancy, fanciful and modern.
