They have several local ales on tap and some "Real Ale" cask conditioned for a traditional experience. Sadly, there was no roast beef when we arrived so we'll have to wait for the classic Sunday roast. Steak and ale pie, and a butternut squash pie were good substitutes. This is a popular spot, especially for outdoor seating. We sat inside in a cozy dining room but if the weather is dry outdoors is a nice option.

Lots of different options on tap and I was especially impressed with their cider selection. They had an apple cider that was still (vs sparkling) and it was the first time I've ever heard of it. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because two people got sandwiches (the fish fingers and tofu po boy) both commented on it lacking a little flavor and wanting more salt/sauce. This would be a 4.5 stars but Yelp doesn't do that so rounded down.

I always find myself at Hall & Woodhouse when I'm in Bath. It's hard not to: the location in city…read morecentre is great, the interior is super spacious and offers a variety of seating options (I've never had a problem finding getting a spot for a midday, midweek pint and order of chips), the decor is charming (think: treehouse, traditional old English pub, and antiques store vibes), and the rooftop bar on a sunny day can't be missed (and, I'm pretty sure it's open all day). My exchange with the staff recently has been super limited: I walk in, ask if I can go to the rooftop, they tell me I have to order at the bar, I ask for G&T (single, sometimes a double), they hand me a balloon glass with the gin in it and a mini bottle of tonic, I make my own way to the rooftop, I enjoy my drink for as long as I like. I like this transaction. The rooftop bar though? IT NEEDS SOME LOVE. There's seagull poop everywhere, the tables themselves are always dirty with trash, there's a layer of grime on absolutely everything, I'm not sure where all the greenery/plants have gone to (probably booted to make more space for chairs)... it's just super rundown, which is such a shock when you see how nice the restaurant itself is. There's a real "Instagram Vs Reality" thing happening here when you see photos on their website than experience it yourself. Other things to note: 1. H&W doesn't take bookings for the rooftop, it's walk-ins only! 2. They are a dog friendly restaurant! 3. It seems they've recently leaned into offering more gluten-free options! 4. Some vegan options available: sweet potato falafel, a cauliflower salad, a curry, a burger.

I didn't realize Hall & Woodhouse was a British chain restaurant until it was too late...but no problem! Staff was friendly enough for a pub, the modern yet retro ambience was clean, colorful, and amusing. £18 Sunday Roast with Roast Beef...pretty good overall! The slices of roast beef were tender, meaty, and tasty, just a bit on the chewier side. British Beef has never been quite as tender as American Beef. The roasted potatoes were wonderfully hot and crispy, and roasted veg just find, as well as the Yorkshire pudding. £17 The H&W Smokie Fish Pie...chunks of smoked white fish, classic béchamel sauce, cheesy crushed new potato top, mixed leaf salad...pretty good overall! £8 Sticky Toffee Pudding...sticky, buttery, gooey, and oh so good!

We showed up about 30 minutes before closing (absolutely starving), and despite the late hour, they graciously accommodated us without making us feel rushed. The appetizer special--local sliced tomatoes with goat cheese, basil, and candied walnuts--was so good I scraped the plate clean. Seriously, we loved every bite! For my entrée, I had the Roasted Cotswold Chicken Breast, and it was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. If you're in Bath, don't skip Clayton's Kitchen. The Mediterranean and modern French-inspired dishes will leave you wanting more!

@Eating.Drinking: "I…read moredon't want this to end." * Sounds like a stereotypical line from 2018's latest box office chick flick. In fact, it's a line I subconsciously muttered as I made my way to the end of this sublime meal. * We were lucky anyway to be staying at the @royalcrescent_hotel (a separate post on this later) and maybe even luckier to find a last minute booking for @chequersbath, the ultimate foodie pub, having stumbled across the last available Saturday evening slot on @opentable. * Restaurant: On the outside, it's a pub set on a quiet street in a pretty Georgian building. It has your usual pub benches with punters seated, sipping beer and wine on this sun-soaked street in Bath. On the inside, it's also a pub, very simply wood-furnished with pews and blackboards. * Staff: You are instantly greeted by the friendly, knowledgeable staff the moment you set foot inside this gastronomical goldmine. Everyone knows the menu, ingredients and it's service with a smile from start to finish. * Food: Where to begin. There is a great menu, clearly laid out. The name of the dish is simply its focal point so it's easy to find your way around. We opted for seafood but there is also pork, lamb, rabbit and steak on offer. There is also a strong selection of vegetarian alternatives. * Summary: I've already used the phrase 'gastronomical goldmine' and that sums it up.

After asking for another table, I was told outside only. I chose to leave rather than trying to enjoy a Sunday roast in a sweat box . I would not recommend this restaurant at all. Management responded with a very petty, unprofessional response on Google. If you chose to eat at this place...that's on you.

I chose a duck wrap and potato salad with apple juice. It was just ok, but a Pret sandwich would have been nicer. There wasn't much duck, the flat bread was falling apart and it was quite dry although there was a sauce to dip it in. The potato salad was quite nice and came in a really cute jar. If I am in the area again I would be interested in stopping here for dinner and trying something hot, but not for lunch.

I wanted to have an early dinner, so called to see if moving the reservation was possible. The response was friendly and accommodating. Upon arrival we were shown to a table and brought a bottle of tap water and menus. From there, service was friendly and prompt, but not rushed. My husband had cod fish and chips and I had crispy cod tacos. The filling on my tacos was delicious. The shells had that tough texture that signaled they needed to be warmed up more. The crisp on the fish and chips was good, but the fish may have needed just a tad longer. We had ice cream for dessert. We also had wine with dinner and after-dinner drinks. The prices were reasonable for what we got. Overall, the taco shells were the only big miss. We would definitely return to Marlborough Tavern.
