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.

While on a lunch break from a guided tour, my wife and I dropped into All Bar One for lunch. After…read morebeing seated, we looked at the menu and placed orders for the following: two orders of fish and chips, pornstar martini (for my wife), and an expresso martini (for me). Roughly 15 minutes later our food and drinks were delivered to our table by a friendly employee. We both enjoyed our drinks of choice, we could definitely tell that the bartender took his time crafting the drinks. We both found the fish and chips to be delightfully satisfying and enjoyed the pairing of tartar sauce with smashed peas (we're late to discovering this). If you're in the area for a tour or taking a lunch break after some retail therapy, I recommend visiting All Bar One.

We got there a few hours before closing time and couldn't get a table right away - we were told to come back in an hour but we asked if it would still be possible to get their fish & chips. They asked how many of us would want it and all 5 of us did. Ha! Luckily, they were able to hold enough for us to come back once a table was open. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside. The chips were tasty and the mushy peas were actually good which I wasn't expecting! I'd travel all the way back to England just for this meal at the Scallop Shell.

I saw a few people get the cod -- wish I'd tried that instead, even though the haddock was so good!! I really liked the mushy peas here; very rich!

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.

@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. Quite honestly I can't think of a better superlative but will say it was a 'seafood sensation!' * Salmon - teriyaki/caviar/mooli/yoghurt Hand-dived scallop - black pudding/celeriac/apple/hazelnut Cod - herb-crusted/black beans/chorizo/squid/bouride Halibut - Heritage tomato/courgette/Jersey Royals/black garlic * We paid around £80 for dinner and a couple of drinks.

A few…read moreminutes later, I was ushered up steps to the top floor (despite empty single tables near the bar on the first floor). On a 27°c day, it felt like an oven on that third floor. 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.

Found the restaurant on a wimp, we were hungry and this was by the bus/train station so it was just…read moreright there. The prices looked higher than the rest of the establishment nearby but it is also the only steakhouse. Hubby said we should splurged for a good meal since we had a long day on the road and it was our 1st meal in Bath so we went in. The place was crowded, but it was late in the evening (close to 9pm) that we still got a table without reservation (it was about 85% full). Service was friendly despite us looking like two bumps (we just arrived after a long 10 hours flight + a long bus ride due to road closure from Heathrow). We both ordered the rib eye and I asked if they could substitute the chips (thicker cut fries) could be substituted with a different, non fried side dish, and they obliged. Both hubby and I substituted the chips with mashed potatoes. We also got a sauce each for our steak, hubby had the bbq sauce and I had the cognac and peppercorn sauce. I was a bit skeptical since I ordered the steak well.done (I had to bc of doctor's order), hubby ordered medium rare. The reviews online weren't promising too so I was nervous. Food arrived after about 20-30 minutes, it felt. a bit slow, but I was also starving. The plate looked pretty but smaller in portion compared to Amerizan size ..I was once again nervous we would leave hungry. I had a bite of the mashed potatoes and WOW! creamy, rich, cheesy, delicious!!!! Then had a bite of the side salad that came with the steak (watercress + 3 plump cherry tomatoes) and wow it was good too! I did wish there were more salad on the plate since it was quite little and I felt like I needed more veggies. Then I tasted the sauces...the bbq was not my forte and it was definitely not as sweet and didn't taste smokey like american bbq sauce but the cognac and peppercorn sauce was soooo good!!! It tasted a bit like gravy, but richer and creamier and had more flavors. I'm usually not a sauce person but dang that was a good sauce! Lastly, I had my steak and wow!!! It didn't disappoint! The meat was tender despite it was being well done and the sauce complemented the mest soooo well!!!! Both hubby and I enjoyed our main course a lot :). And we were both satisfied and full after our main course, phewwwhhh!!! I guess though the portion did not look big, it was still filling (the mashed potatoes were rich and good portion). When we walked in and saw their menu we also spotted the dessert: Sticky toffee pudding...so we definitely had our heart set to ordering a dessert..we decided to share one ang glad we did! The portion was enough to share and boy that was one really really good dessert!!! It was a piece of cake (but not crumbly like cake and spongy but more dense than a regular cake) came with delicious caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was not overly sweet and too die for!!! Certainly a must eat if you want a dessert! Our tab (for drink we had tap water and hubby had a bottle of coke) came out to around 57 GBP, not cheap, but again it was a nicer establishment and the food was really good, so we were very happy. The service was also very friendly, they came to check on us a few times, had a little bit of small talk with a couple of the waiters too and they were very friendly. I certainly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a nicer place to eat in Bath. They had lots of beer! It's like a fancier modern pub, unfortunately I couldn't try due to my current dietary restrictions, but if you're a beer drinker, should totally have beer there..they looked good too!!

This is a chophouse and bar a minute from Bath Spa railway station…read more It's situated on the first floor adjacent to the London platform of the station but, frustratingly, there's no direct access. (Good views from that side of the bar you are a trainspotter...) There is a lift up to the bar - otherwise it is a surprisingly long staircase if, like me, you arrive with luggage. Inside it's one large room with a central bar, and the dining area is on the station side. The one major downside for me was the noise - they had piped music which meant, on a Friday night, competing with people trying to talk over the music. So it's definitely not the place for a romantic meal. At other times it may be quieter, of course. I'm vegetarian and, although the choice is limited, my starter of spiced pear salad with blue cheese and walnuts was the highlight, freshly prepared, crunchy and tasty. My main of macaroni cheese with spinach and mushrooms was all right - plenty of it - but a little stodgy, even for a dish which is meant as comfort food. My friend's dish of chicken and salad was very nice apparently - lots of chicken, too. Interestingly, having read the other reviews on here, I found the service to be pretty good - we didn't have to wait long for drinks, the food, or the bill, and our waiter was attentive. A free bottle of chilled tap water arrived before I'd even sat down, which was not bad for the post-work rush on Friday. The bill came to just under £30 a head for two courses, 2 glasses of wine, coffee and tip. So, not the place for a special meal, but fine if you want something close to the station.

Also had a jug of Pimms earlier in the year, sitting outside on the terrace in the heat of the day. Very good!
