Friendly spot with nice atmosphere. I would go back…read more I had booked a table for 7:30 p.m., but arrived in Bath much sooner than expected. 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.

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! Just as good as the independent pubs and restaurants!

They have a nice menu- a few random things but those random things are incredible. The fried beef bao bun was AMAZING and I'd go back for 100 of those alone.

I'll definitely be back for the buns.

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.

After some browsing for a few blocks, we came across Firehouse Rotisserie and decided to give it a try! First off, the restaurant is in a very beautiful, charming, old building.

It was soooo flavorful, tender, and juicy! Seriously! And it was a very filling and hearty meal that fueled our further sightseeing for the day. Service was quick and friendly as well. I highly recommend stopping by and trying the rotisserie chicken!

My sister and I are a bit picky, but I'd had this spot marked for months in preparation for our trip to Bath as one of the few restaurants that had something we'd both eat, and boy did it turn out. We split the margarita pizza and a side of asparagus, which the chef ran all the way upstairs to make sure they had, -- it was so good. Possibly the best asparagus I've ever had, and we were stoked to get some veggies with dinner. The pizza crust was perfectly thin and crispy, but thick enough at the end to really sink your teeth into. Fresh basil and expertly roasted tomatoes (absolutely bursting with flavor) made for an off the charts margarita. It's hard to go wrong here but, this one really knocked it out of the park. Seating was quick, though we were on the earlier side, with water pitcher all to ourselves, which we love to get, and very clean well kept restrooms! -- though not very accessible, you must climb four flights of stairs. Try Mr. B's Emporium of Reading Delights if you have time before or afterwards, which is a beautiful and well stocked bookstore right across the street. Definitely stop by if you're in town, this one was a win! (Try the chocolate ice cream).
