Bar + Block Steakhouse in Bath and North East Somerset

We were excited to try a steak place we hadn’t been before last week. As a group of 5 guys we had a range of steaks. One had the ribeye, 2 had the meat mix board and 2 off us had rump. Sides includes things like burnt ends, salad and onion rings. My rump I asked for medium rare, it was pretty close to well done. The salad was nice on the side and garlic mushrooms. However I paid £10 to add scallops and prawns (£6 each or £10 combined). I received 2 prawns and 2 scallops. Steep price for so little. The steak itself was hard, rather chewy and pretty bland. The same for the ‘garlic butter’ seafood. It had little to no taste. My friends all said the same with their food that it was average and not the best. My friend was disappointed with his burnt ends especially. In all the cost is too high in comparison to the quality of the food. My food came to £44 (only had water to drink) and others paid similar around £45-50 with tip. You could go elsewhere and get better. I would say it was on the same level as a steak at a harvester. It was a real shame.

Good food, with a good range on the menu and all the items we ordered were available. The complimentary pot of savoury popcorn was very tasty too. Great service.

Fantastic meal tonight, great atmosphere and fantastic service from Lily this evening, as a coeliac having a proper cheesecake for the first time in over 4 years made my night! Brilliant gluten free menu with lots of choice., Lily noticed our cocktails didn't look correct so took them off the bill and replaced them free of charge, as well as really chatting to us and making us feel so welcome and happy in our experience here. Will definitely return.

Lily was totally awesome she was attentive and professional , very friendly and just lovely. We had a really nice lunch and this was all down to the service Lily provided

Fab service.. excellent food Really lovely experience, they even seated us where we wanted .,.. really felt catered for and also managed to use an old voucher 30% off!!! Er wow!

Bel locale vicino al centro della città, ne abbiamo usufruito per una colazione spettacolare. Il buffet molto ricco e con ampia scelta di dolce e salato. Il personale gentile e attento a rifornire di continuo il buffet. Davvero ottimo e da consigliare. Mi spiace non aver provato la steak house.

Had another fantastic meal at the bar and block. We were served by Gemma who is so friendly and efficient. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children. We all had steaks which were cooked to perfection. The children’s menu has lots of choices and very reasonably priced. Cannot fault the place. !

really good welcome and service food was really good a little expensive just didn't know it was part of a hotel and it cheapened the meal a little

We sat down to eat and service were very slow, I ordered the halloumi fries and cheeseburger. The halloumi fries came out with no dip and had been deep fried to an inch of their life. Then I saw my burger under the hot lamp for a long time while 1 of the 2 staff members stood around not doing anything then I saw a bloke get up and have to ask for a beer (he had been sat down waiting for a while) after the man got his beer out food finally came over and was placed down before the waitress started to run off and I had to get her attention to get some mayo. The burger was very bland and it's not like the chef was rushed off his feet with a total of 5 tables in when we left and only 3 tables including us when we ordered

Excellent food friendly chatty waiters

Thank you Lee for looking after us today your humour, service and attitude made our day xxx 3 ladies wot lunch

I stayed at the Premier Inn and went to Bar+Block for our dinner. We were served by Pippa, and had a delicious meal! I had the sausages, my husband had a burger and our son had chicken and chips. The food was delicious, and wonderfully cooked (kudos to the chef/cooking team!), but surpassing that was the customer service by Pippa and every staff member there - absolutely phenomenal service! Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, went out of their way to help us a number of times, and put us at ease!! All staff are a credit to the business!

Had an amazing meal with family it was amazing the waitress lilly did brilliantly she was so helpful an even made sure my daughter had everything she needed an even made her feel more part of the night by offering her a special mocktail off menu while we had cocktails and she loved it ..we will be back again an hopefully on a day she is there...thank you lilly for your politeness an all your service tonight

Had a really good sirloin steak with salad .

Great restaurant inside premier inn. Top quality burgers steaks and service with a smile

Came here as a relatively large group (13). Most of our group eat meat and I am reliably informed the steak is excellent. As a vegetarian- there are some limited options that are vegan and vegetarian and they are very good for a steak restaurant. They have made an effort to put items on the menu that aren't just grill item too, there are some Indian inspired dishes on there at the moment. Atmosphere was decent. Decorated nicely and feels slightly nicer than a typical high street chain. Price reflects this. Service was a bit of a let down. Our server was quite brash, his didn't make us feel very welcome and he was quite sarcastic- I think he may have meant this in good will but he came across as really not enjoying having to serve us. My colleague arrived late and was greeted in a rude way by the same person and asked to give her drinks order immediately. We gave our drinks and food order but then weren't checked in on for the rest of the evening. We would have loved to have ordered further drinks and desserts but nobody spoke to us again until payment. Upsides of service is that it was prompt and accurate. And all of the deals were applied correctly. Would come again if I was a meat ester and in a smaller group.

Raw food and burnt food on the same plate, maybe I shouldn't have ordered fish at a steak house!

Birthday meal for my hubby. Restaurant didn't disappoint food and service were amazing

Loved it went on first date ever it was best place to go food cocktails fabulous 👌

Best bottomless brunch in Bath!!

Friendly service, food was perfectly fine, Would go again in a big group, Cocktails were 2 for 1 pre 8pm, and went back the following evening just for the cocktails 😀

Great steak & chips! I had the sirloin, my son had the fillet - both were cooked to perfection. We both agreed they were amongst the best steaks we’ve had. Loved the chunky chips too. We also had fried squid for starters which was really tasty. Very friendly staff. Would definitely eat there again.

Absolute rip off sent a medium steak back twice first time was absolutely cremated second time was blue ordered a mac and cheese which never arrived left early as i ate all my food while girlfriend didn't eat a thing would not recommend absolute joke

The restaurant is very nice. Unfortunately the staff seemed very sullen, and not very welcoming. My date ordered a mojito which was far too watery. We asked for it to be changed and it came back no better and no further inquiries. The starters was good, but the chateaubriand was terrible. We ordered medium rare and it came back with the outside well done, and inside medium. The meat was also quite dry, and the spinach was very soggy. Would not recommend

Well since she come back from maternity leave the place has gone downhill. So rude wouldn't even let us in on Monday Will call first to see if she's working before coming down

Chef Kasia made wonderful food and waiter Olga provided excellent table services. 👍

Great place, staff were great , great breakfast

We had a couple of last evening drinks and breakfast as we were staying in the hotel. It was ok and what you'd expect. It was busy in the evening with locals people seemed to be having a good time.

We just had cocktails, no food. They were very tasty. Good service. Book I advance as tables are all reserved!

Firstly if your charging £100 + for two people to dine you except a top quality meal that was far from what we got. We travelled to bath for the weekend and really wanted a steak night! After reading reviews this looked like the place to go, we were very wrong. I don’t leave a lot of reviews but don’t want people making the disappointing, expensive mistake we did! For starters we ordered Mac and cheese bites were average, salt and pepper squid which simple didn’t have any squid in it and finally beef burnt ends which were the best things about the meal! Then the main course came I had the sirloin steak asked to be cooked medium, my partner had the ribeye steak asked to be cooked medium - rare. When my steak came out firstly I noticed was the height of it, it was about 6inches high and not very wide and looked very charred on the outside, my partners was like an piece of cardboard and looked anaemic. When cutting in to our steaks mine was rare in the middle well done on the edges and extremely dry and simply tasteless and extremely charred on the outside, it wasn’t good. My partner’s who asked for a medium rare, was cooked well done it was also tasteless, looked like a bit of thin cardboard it was disgusting. The sides were average at the best, triple cooked chips which were clearly only cooked once! Onion rings had a very strong taste of beer and the pieces of onion were nearly not existent, truffle mac and cheese which was actually pretty good. So to sum up, the staff in the restaurant were super friendly, we got 25% discount off our meal when complaining about the cooking of the steaks. The food when you’re charging top prices not worth it, this place is just a glammed up harvester serving worse food.

Chateaubriand cooked to perfection (rare). Staff 10/10.

Rude unhelpful staff, namely lady with the rainbow lanyard. Situated at the bottom of a premier inn that says it all, didn’t bother ordering food as we decided it wasn’t for us within sitting down for 5 minutes.

Excellent service, food and drink.

Not really good, we ordered two lambs chops medium rare, arrived well done, to much well done!

Service was slow, took a long time to get a drink order taken and then took even longer to get the bill even after plates had been cleared. Brisket burger was very average, and the fries weren't particularly great and not hot. Seemed very pop de ping for restaurant prices.

The meals & desserts were fabulous 👌 My wife and I both had the Big Block Burger & my son had the Classic burger. All 3 were cooked to perfection. The waitress Lily was so friendly & welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. I would rate this 6* if possible. Highly recommend this place. We were here 15/2/24

Please note this is part of the premier inn, we visited due to good reviews on tripadvisor, but at £100 for two people it was very lacking. I ordered my fillet steak rare and with scallops, both were tough, hugely over cooked. The ‘signature sauce’ was also strange and very vinegary (and I am a huge fan of vinegar). Service was good, although the waitress did admit the prices for what you get are a bit silly. Portions were small and overcooked. Very much harvester with high class steak restaurant pricing, we’ve seen some top rated places with the same price points.

Food was fairly average, this place is actually part of a premier inn the two different entrances are deceiving. For the price they charge you'd have thought the food would be a lot better than it actually was. Service was decent and was able to get a discount but this food was definitely not worth the price tag could make better at home.

Service was slow and the food came old cold,I will not be going back there.

Brilliant service lovely staff 👏 👍

We came in later in the evening and still had exceptional service from Sofia and the staff. Amazing food and great atmosphere.

The food was okay but I would say a bit expensive for what it is, we had a burger and it was okay but not worth 18 quid the atmosphere was a bit dull but the staff were lovely

We had a lovely meal for my Birthday here, the atmosphere was amazing and we had amazing service from Hannah who served us. The food was beautiful, steaks were cooked perfectly and Hannah took care of all of our requests! Thank you!

The service was lovely, Lee was very attentive and funny, the food was also nice. The only downside was it was quite cold in the restaurant despite not being close to a door.

Had dinner with daughter and friend, as usual the food was great, friendly staff. Thanks

A remarkable uplift in service this evening with Alex as the manger she is a credit to your company. Kasia and Alfie very accommodating. Very pleasant evening.

Myself and my wife have been today Xmas eve, food was lovely and service was very good, would go again

If bang on average was a steakhouse, this would be it. Dirty bathrooms leave a lot to be desired, made up for by decent service and ambiance, just to come crashing back down with a poor cut of meat.

Visited for a small meal and settled on 3 small plates to share and a standard burger for myself. Service was brilliant with a friendly waiter who offered to clear another table for us when another party member arrived, which was very much appreciated. The food was lovely. Thank you!

Lily M was attentive & served us with a smile! Lovely evening overall

Excellent food prepared by the chef plus great table service. Rest room decor appears dated.

Standard stuff, maitre de at breakfast was a bit of a legend, very friendly and super helpful

The portions are much smaller than expected given the price. Would not recommend the burgers as you'll still be hungry afterwards.

Ordered the festive burger, extremely dissapointed with the value for money, £22 for a small brioche bun served with 'chunky' fries, although they came out as French fries in a small pot, burger crumbled it was so dry, flavours were nice, however staff were rude and didn't even get an apology. Do not recommend

Went for a romantic Sunday lunch. Decided to have the Chateaubriand for 2 as we both fancied a steak. The cost of an amazing cut of meat worked out cheaper than chosing amy other cut as the Chateaubriand comes with sides, whereas the other cuts require you to purchase the sides. Garlic mushrooms were a nice accompaniment, but the garlic spinach was just a mush with little taste and not a nice texture. The chunky chips were OK, but I felt they lacked taste. The worst part of lunch was having to use the toilets. They could do with a refurbishment but I wouldn't have worried about that if they hadn't been dirty. Toilet roll on the floor and puddles of water in the cubicle. Would i go back? I am not sure. Its a shame as the steak, which is what you really go for, was amazing.

Good food. Great place for groups. Bit pricey for steaks but they are good!

Service was amazing think the girl was called Rowan but 110% she’s a star! Food was really good my only complaint Steak over cooked for my liking so if you like medium rare ask for rare and you’ll get what you want. Would go again!

Food was amazing and Rowen was also amazing. Great ambassador for the company. She is a true asset..... Thank you.

Had a rump steak on a meal deal without paying for any extras. Think I would of done better getting a Tesco meal deal. Won't be back.

Only stopped in to meet friends before going to show staff were very friendly and I don't drink as i was driving and dont do soft drinks so just ordered a water, I often feel judged when just ordered a water but they were lovely

Had a last minute roast here lovely as always and plenty of food

We have been in here for meals about 5 times since Jul this year & visited again on 25th Oct. For us we have always had a lovely meal with great service from the friendly staff. Our steaks have always been cooked just right & have been tender. Ideal for evening meal before going to the Theatre or Bath Forum. We will be back & don't hesitate to reccomend it.

Food good fries not up to usual standard. Service good. Squeezed in a bogof on cocktails.

Went to bath last week and loved the atmosphere at Bar + Block. The food was nice but the experience was what we enjoyed the most. Jemma was lovely and made our time at the restaurant enjoyable.

Everything was great. Rowen was a star. Only issue is the £6 for 2 little prawns for the surf and turf upgrade. I think that's a pretty shocking price for what you get so that took the shine off the meal.

Stayed at the premier inn attached and had breakfast wich was amazing and delicious and had an evening meal I booked wich was outstanding 😊

Went in on the of chance of getting some food as been in before and really enjoyed it but order food and drink and then waited half hours just for our drinks when asked staff at the bar not don’t anything apart from hugging each other and it was not that busy and really disappointed won’t be returning just so said

Amazing service and atmosphere, I often go for breakfast, since it's a Premier Inn buffet with extremely good value and under 16's eat for free.

Pleasant atmosphere combined with delicious food and the first restaurant I ever tried a medium-rare steak in! Absolutely delicious, will come back when we are in England again. Definitely recommend if you want an awesome night out! Special thanks to Sofia for serving us today and making the night more special, she's an amazing waitress!

If you don't want to cook breakfast then go here cheap and cheerful

Very quite restaurant when we arrived for lunch but that gave the waitresses more time to interact with our kids, which was an added bonus!

OK so I only ate here this evening as I was staying at the premiere inn andit was pissing down with rain and couldn't be arsed with getting soaked wandering round looking for a restaurant. Can't believe I was served such a well cooked steak and really tasty sides. I had the spiral cut ribeye. Cooked to perfection. I've been a chef a long time and I am rarely happy with a meal out. Seen a few negative reviews I know things can go wrong when it's busy but this evening I sat watching the chefs work like a team smashing the food out

Service and venue very good. Decent drinks menu. But it all comes down to the food. We had the Chateaubriand for 2 @ £65, they recommend it medium rare, so that’s what we ordered, it came in a timely manner, the steak was tasty and tender but more medium, so a bit over cooked for us really. But the vegetables………. The tenderstem broccoli, samphire and spinach that came with the dish were all massively over cooked, tasteless and soggy. Very disappointed as it is really just the basics, that then spoilt what could have been a decent meal. All fur coat and no knickers unfortunately. If you want to be able to charge those prices fine, but the food needs to be good enough to justify them, and it just wasn’t.

Compliments to the chef and waiting staff. The staff were very pleasant and polite and the chefs done an excellent job making multiple dishes for our table. All food including two lovely rib eye steaks were spot on. Will definatly be coming back. Thanks guys for a lovely evening.

Went here with friends on a Saturday lunchtime for the Bottomless lunch menu, which is two courses plus bottomless prosecco or lager (bottomless cocktails cost slightly extra). Alex, who welcomed us, and served us, was a brilliant host. Very efficient and friendly and went out of their way to make our experience a good one. The place itself is clean and modern and nicely laid out. Plenty of quiet corners to sit and lots of space for big groups, like ours. The food was excellent, and plentiful, and we definitely got our money’s worth with the bottomless drinks! Would definitely return.

I had the butchers Bangers block a new menu item . So tasty with mixed flavours sausages Thank you to Alex and Kasia this was a delicious meal 😊. Will definitely come back for more 🥂

We were looking for a good steak in Bath and this place was recommended to us. Hannah was very helpful, she provided great service. It didn’t disappoint, we were very happy with our meal.

Delicious lunch at sensible prices. Staff friendly and helpful. Premises clean and modern. Could not fault it.

My husband and I had a lovely date night dinner here. Great value - three rounds of cocktails and lots of food; £65. Rowen looked after us wonderfully all night. Don’t be a snob when considering eating here - yes it’s attached to a Premier Inn but we had a fab time.

Friendly staff, good steaks and atmosphere! Family friendly.

Breakfast is brilliant and staff really friendly and helpful. Sunday Lunch was also delicious

I don't live anywhere near Bath, but you come to a Premier Inn & the restaurant is always reliable, right? Wrong. The service was terrible here. I patiently waited an hour before I made any sort of complaint, & then I was the soul of politeness - I'm not someone whose hobby is leaving terrible restaurant reviews, I swear. But nothing happened after that. Then they brought out my meal with coriander. I'd said twice in the past hour & an half I didn't want it. More time went past & hey. Maybe it wouldn't matter if I hadn't travelled 7hrs to get to this majorly substandard steakhouse I would've had even more patience, but by this point it had totally ran out. It was 9pm. So I went to the vending machine, where, hideously ironically, they had flame grilled steak crisps... So yeah. Walked out. Do not come here. Just. Don't. Do It.

Our waitress, Sofia, was very courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. We ordered margaritas which were delicious, and several small plates which were well prepared.

The service was great! Our waitress Sofia was very knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. We ordered from the small plates menu, and the food was very tasty. The margaritas were very good and made from scratch.

We had a pleasant meal, steak was excellent, dinosaur short rib,cooked to perfection. The salt and pepper squid was tasty but very small pieces maybe the end of the bag more crispy bits than squid! Puddings yummy... ** the law states you can order a...

Unfortunately, we did not get any pictures of the food. Throughout our visit we were greeted with wafts from the kitchen so by the time we received our food we were ready to eat. My mother and I enjoy a blue steak and that was the best blue steak we have ever eaten from an establishment. There was no judgment, the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We arrived with the intention of having a couple of cocktails, making use of the 2 for 1 offer. I explained to our waitress that we may be there a while and they were happy to book the table off for us so that we could feel free to take all the time we needed. We only managed to get the Chateaubriand to share as afterwards we were sufficiently full. We will definitely go back the next time my mother is visiting. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Me and my partner came here as a last moment visit as we couldn’t decide where we wanted to go. We walked in and got greeted by the lovely sofija she was a star got us seated quick got us our drinks and brought our...

Been here before lovely food and staff are great 👍 👌

Came here for my birthday meal with the wife, excellent service from Lily & Kasia, steak was cooked to personal preference, can not fault it, will swing by again if ever in bath in the future.

Fab food and service! Pictures speak for themselves

One of the best meals we have had together. We were celebrating my fiancée being cancer free for a year. We were greeted with Prosecco and a card from the staff congratulating us on our celebration. Lily was a fantastic waitress and gave us great...

We ate in here on the meal deal with the premier inn hotel. Being a meal deal we had a limited menu to choose from. The food was delicious,I would highly recommend the rib eye steak.

I went there yesterday Saturday 26 Aug around 3pm for late lunch. I didn't have any booking but it was not busy by that time. I was welcomed by Steve, great guy with a lovely smile. Got me a nice seat facing by the window...

great service by Nicole. great place I recommend! amazing atmosphere . great music food just a place to visit

Great for a steak! The food came out quickly and it was delicious. All of the staff were great, very welcoming. Thanks to Nicole for being so nice too.

Not too bad but rarely cook steaks to the correct doneness.

The food here is delicious and freshly cooked. You can see the chefs cooking your order. The restaurant is nice and quiet but the tables for 2 are very small. The service here is friendly and efficient. I would recommend this restaurant and I would certainly dine here again.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and always had a lovely meal with excellent service however on this occasion it was truely awful! £25 mixed plate - it turned up - A small china plate which was piled high of very greasy...

OMG, what can I say! Service was amazing, incredibly friendly waitress (Sarah), gave as good as she got on the banter. Starters were great, mains was amazing, accommodated the fussy ones and the not so fussy ones. I would recommend to anyone, well worth the money.

The staff were polite and very helpful. Our food was very nice and cooked just as we asked. The complimentary beef popcorn is delicious. The only downside was a very wobbly table despite all the napkins under the feet of the table.
