Corkage in Bath and North East Somerset

Disappointing. Had bread with balsamic and oil, the bread was very heavy and dense which wasn't nice, and the balsamic was almost all oil. Then had falaffel which were greasy and undercooked, I left this, with a not nice tasting flat bread and tzatziki that was watery and tastless. The arancini was claggy, greasy and I could not see any grains of rice, was more of a mush, I could not even eat this. The courgette was fine. My husband ordered the pork Belly which he said was really nice and I had the mussels which were tasty. The wine by the glass was very expensive, they may be a wine bar but I wanted a malbec but at £17,50 for a large glass I decided to have a beer. I did not enjoy the meal at all and left very disappointed. The place itself has a nice atmosphere.

Great place with nice ambience, good service and interesting food and wine choices. Mostly small dishes with limited and interesting choices. Excellent wine selection.

Era el cumpleaños número 70 de mi esposa que celebramos con otros 10 miembros de la familia. La comida, el servicio y el ambiente eran excelentes, la combinación de los cuales hizo que una velada memorable en esta ocasión muy especial. fabuloso lugar, asegúrese de visitar.

Había ido a Corkage con un grupo de amigos para una reunión - hasta el almuerzo en un día de semana húmedo e inhóspito. El restaurante / bar de vinos se encuentra justo al lado del centro de Bath y requería un corto paseo. El espacio en sí está muy bien diseñado y relajado. El menú consta de una variedad limitada de opciones que deben satisfacer la mayoría de los gustos. Yo había elegido la remolacha con queso de cabra como entrada que era excepcional y el bistec de la percha con puré de setas, col y tocino que era excelente. De postre compartí una tarta de queso que de nuevo estaba muy buena. Las harinas de comida estaban muy bien combinado y el servicio bien. Yo recomendaría Corkage.

If you like your food and wine you’ll love Corkage, the food was amazing and the staff really knew their stuff when it came to the wine. Great night thank you.

I managed to get a space for myself and my wife for Valentines. Amazing restaurant! You must try the smoked butter, the Celeriac, Tagine, and the Pork belly. All are unbelievable. We had these washed down with some Rioja. A truly unforgettable evening. To top it off, my wife loved it so much, I even got a blow job. 👍

Some really brilliant flavours in this small tapas and wine bar, like the arancini bursting with umami in a blue cheese sauce with celeriac and truffle, and the dahl with coconut yogurt was better than the dahl we get in brick lane in London. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. We had five dishes and a dessert between two of us.

We had such an incredible time at Corkage. The food and wine was incredible and our waitress, Maddie, was so lovely. We’re definitely going to be back!

Amazing food, great service, and a fantastic wine selection. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Bath. Really fun night all around.

Wide wine selection with good recommendations and tasty food - they are quite large servings (in my opinion) for small plates but good value for money.

Lovely staff and a really cool place. Very tasty selection of small plates and excellent wine to choose from. A great find!

This was my first time visiting Bath, and I found this restaurant while researching the town, no disappointment at all! The food was amazing, and the service was spot on. I’d recommend the courgette, it might look like a regular zucchini in the photo, but trust me, it’s incredible! Another favorite of mine was the crispy pork belly. The black beans were a little salty for me, but they pair perfectly with the pork, which was cooked to perfection. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bath!

really pleasant atmosphere and very chilled. Staff were attentive but also really good at not smothering. Great wine list and very good negroni. only gave four stars for food as thought portion size wasn’t very generous for two people, but all the food was good and we enjoyed our time thank you

Always have such a great time here. Really attentive staff, the menu is always delicious and a broad range of dishes to share. The portions are pretty substantial For sharing plates. Everything tastes really fresh, and flavoursome. It’s a go to for when we fancy an afternoon in bath. I don’t drink but my husband does, and there is a great selection to accompany any of the dishes and the staff are really knowledgeable. The Dahl in particular tastes how my grandmother and mother make theirs. And the seafood and meat dishes are always high quality.

Best place for dinner, our server was great and had great knowledge of the menu. Fantastic food and lovely drinks. Will be back!!

Amazing staff who are very knowledgeable on their menus. I would say the dishes are more medium sized which was a lovely surprise. The courgette, beetroot and sprouts were gorgeous. Saying that all the veg option were fabulous. The wine list is extensive and has something for everyone. They also have beers and soft drinks. Will definitely be back.

We eat at Corkage every single time we're in Bath. 4 times and counting...

Service and food are both absolutely fabulous. The choice of wine is only matched by the staff’s knowledge - very impressive. Just wished we had been more often!"

Great little restaurant nestled in bath centre. The food , wine and atmosphere are perfect for an evening of great wine and amazing food. The staff were brilliant , very attentive and provided get recommendations on wine and food. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting bath!

Delighted to find a fantastic small sharing plates and wine venue. The style of service is perfect - relaxed and food comes when it comes, allowing you to enjoy the company and conversation. Food was excellent - range of vegetable, fish and meat dishes. We shared 5 and had bread first and that was plenty. Good value overall and a place I would highly recommend and to which we will return.

We had a fantastic lunch at Corkage for a party of 10. The food was delicious, varied and seasonal, the range of wines truly amazing, and the service was immaculate. Nothing was too much trouble - including lots of great advice on wines! We'd all highly recommend a visit and will be back before long!

Went here to celebrate my birthday and the food was magnificent. Admittedly I hadn’t realised it was sharing plates when I booked but it made for a fun experience and I got to try some new food! Wine and wine menu was also superb. Perfect for a celebration!

Place seemed very nice and staff where friendly. Food and wine very nice , jason was very helpful and friendly . However the toilets where very small and had greesey floors . Also the stairs. Maybe due to no kitchen door? For the high prices the place seemed very casual and lacking of clean facilities

Very good place, nice atmosphere, great wine + cozy vibes!

Chef knows his spices. Decent wine selection too

It was a beaujolais evening. We had to pay in advance the full amount when booking . The table was outside on a cover terrace with heater on the ceiling but still freezing, it was 0° outside. The cassoulet interesting but just worm.we asked some more bread and discovered it was priced like caviar.The bill brought over 3 times with mistakes. ..... All together not my cup of tea .

We love it at Corkage, always a warm welcome, great food and drink selection and a great atmosphere. The staff are awesome. We'll be back again, and again!

We had an amazing dinner last night at Corkage in Bath. The food was delicious, cooked with care and quality by a chef that knows what he is doing and the wine was truly amazing. The staff was knowledgeable and made a great experience for us, if you are around Bath is a must try.

Lovely food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere... big servings so really don't need to order too much if sharing. Great selection of wines es by the glass

This place is meant to be open until 12pm, but we were made to quickly finish our bottle of bubbly and were kicked out by 11.30pm, as the only remaining customers. Staff walked passed our table with a wheelie bin and banged it in to our chair and then told us they needed to mop the floor. We didn't get to enjoy our drink and a chat as planned, sadly.

Tapas-style wine bar. We ordered quite a few plates to share. Reservations recommended!

A really lovely restaurant. Service was great. They helped us choose a wine based on our tastes and preferences, rather than price. No upselling. Food wise it is small plates so order a few. We had 6 which was ample. Could have done 5. The dishes come out when they are ready, not all together, which makes for a lovely dining experience. There was a stand out winner which was the paparddelle. But all dishes absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend Corkage.

Un restaurante realmente encantador. El servicio fue genial. Nos ayudaron a elegir un vino basado en nuestros gustos y preferencias, en lugar de precio. Nada de ventas. En cuanto a la comida, son platos pequeños, así que pide unos pocos. Tuvimos 6 entre dos de nosotros, que era amplio. Podría haber hecho 5 entre nosotros. Los platos salen cuando están listos, no todos juntos, lo que hace que sea una experiencia gastronómica encantadora. Hubo un ganador destacado que fue el paparddelle. Pero todos los platos absolutamente deliciosos. Sin duda recomendaría Corkage.

A lovely spot to stop for a glass or a meal. Excellent wines and a very friendly welcome.

Recomendado por el barman en nuestro hotel. Encantador ambiente acogedor y servicio, y deliciosa comida. Muchas opciones vegetarianas. La mayoría disfrutó de la remolacha y el queso de cabra además de deliciosas papas. Buena acústica también

Corkage Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that truly stands out in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. The menu features a range of dishes that can only be described as divine, showcasing both creativity and flavor that leave a lasting impression. The courgettes and the scallops were recommended and were a really good choice. The service at Corkage is equally commendable. The staff are not only friendly but also professional and knowledgeable. Their attentiveness and expertise enhanced the evening. The ambience of the restaurant complements the dining experience perfectly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enjoyment. Another significant perk is its dog-friendly policy. Being able to dine out without having to worry about leaving the dog at home meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves.

Corkage Restaurant ofrece una experiencia gastronómica encantadora que realmente destaca en términos de comida, servicio y ambiente. El menú cuenta con una gama de platos que solo se pueden describir como divinos, mostrando tanto creatividad como sabor que dejan una impresión duradera. Los calabacines y las vieiras eran recomendables y eran una muy buena opción. El servicio en Corkage es igualmente encomiable. El personal no solo es amable, sino también profesional y conocedor. Su atención y experiencia mejoraron la velada. El ambiente del restaurante complementa perfectamente la experiencia gastronómica, creando un ambiente cálido y acogedor que fomenta la relajación y el disfrute. Otra ventaja significativa es su política amigable con los perros. Poder cenar fuera sin tener que preocuparnos por dejar al perro en casa significaba que podíamos relajarnos y disfrutar.

Un lugar muy especial. Servicio atento muy acogedor. Platos pequeños estilo tapas muy buenos. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera.

Husband is a carnivore, I am vegan. Very lucky to get a seat at this awesome little spot. Small plates with several choices for me too. Husband had the flat iron steak special, he loved it. I had the dahl and the courgette dish which was seriously one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten.

Quirky bistro, full of atmosphere with lovely conservatory style indoor dining plus covered terrace and added bonus of a cute courtyard when the weather behaves! Wonderful service and simply delicious food. We will return on our next visit to Bath especially as it is dog friendly 🐶

Lovely restaurant, we had a fabulous meal! The food was delicious- I managed to persuade my other half to let us order the courgettes (he’s not the biggest of fan of them) and then had to fight him for my share! Lovely cosy atmosphere and the service was fantastic, if we ever come back to bath we will definitely be dining here again!

Lovely food and excellent service

Lovely charming restaurant with unique food options and extremely friendly staff.

Came in for wine before dinner… stayed for dinner! It was all exquisite! The wine and staff’s knowledge of the wine is fab. The food was sooo good. Highly recommend!

Wine was good, selection great and recommendations were perfect. Service was good. Food was ill timed, bland and came out at different times. Expected good things from reviews but was so disappointed. Our sides came out way after the main meat dishes and considering, it was overpriced for both portions and quality.

I've eaten in Corkage regularly over the years and twice in the last month. As I write, Tripadvisor has it at 74/345 best restaurants in Bath. It is true that Bath has loads of great restaurants but Corkage at 74 is a travesty. The food - small plates - are all delicious and head chef Rob really makes sure they are a cut above the rest. Best small plates in Bath? Almost certainly. The wine list is also one of the best. Lots of unusual but delicious options including a lovely selection of orange wines. And the service? Pretty much faultless and the staff really know their stuff. Taking value for money and ambience into account, I'm going to stick my head out and say I think Corkage is in the top 5 overall. Being just off Queen Square, it's a little bit away from the centre but definitely worth the extra 5 minute walk.

Lovely wine bar and restaurant serving small plates. Good menu, the food was interesting and excellent and friendly service.

Truly amazing food and very friendly waiters. Try the pigeon!

Our recent visit to Corkage was a masterclass in relaxed, elevated dining. We sat on the covered terrace and tried most dishes between our group of six; the food was outstanding. A special thank you to Alex who made us feel special with his understated excellence.

We had a table booked on the covered courtyard which was lovely. Great selection of wines with taps style food menu. The beetroot, arancini & pork belly were my favourite dishes. Waiter needs some customer service skills.

Booked as we had heard it was very good. And it did not disappoint. We ordered 9 dishes between 4 plus 3 deserts which was just right. The food was really tasty and beautifully prepared and presented. Excellent choice of wine. We have a lovely long boozy lunch.

A lovely, cosy restaurant with great food and drink options. We sat outside in the garden, which was so nice on a summer’s evening! It was pretty busy so would definitely recommend booking in advance. Each of the small plates we had was delicious, and there was some really interesting flavours and options that were all done really well. A particular favourite was the courgette dish! The only thing is that each dish is pretty expensive for a small portion - you could get a full meal at other places for the price of one of the dishes, and they recommended 2-3 dishes per person.

Our favourite eating spot in Bath. Tapas-like dishes that come out when they are cooked. Menu is always interesting and has different flavour/ingredient combinations. Small, quaint little restaurant and a fantastic service. Best spot in Bath - recommend booking if you want to guarantee a table!

Outstandingly good food and wine. Every dish was complex, inventive, full of flavour and clearly made with quality ingredients. Really delicious. I enjoyed the way each dish came out when it was ready so there was always something new arriving and it was all freshly prepared. All the servers were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We sat outside in the beautiful garden and had a really lovely evening.

Wonderful place! Delicious food, great service! Locally sourced ingredients! . We had 2-3 dishes each and then shared! We sat in the covered patio with heaters! Our server, Lachlan was mazing! Highly recommend it!

Only Sotto Sotto rivals this place in Bath - and even then, it’s a close run thing. Went for the Friday lunchtime £20 for 2 courses set menu and had high expectations. These were surpassed due to the great atmosphere inside and the stunning standard of food. The £20 for 2 courses proved to be a monumental bargain. An absolute must visit when in Bath, you won’t be disappointed

Brilliant place for tapas style dining and their wine collection! Service from our waitress was great and can’t fault the venue at all

Incredible wine list and the food was stunning. Plenty of food options to choose from, including vegetarian. Our server Jess was absolutely lovely and so helpful - give the girl a raise!

So disappointing. Very very small portions. It really seemed like a joke that we started laughing at how the dishes looked. The main courses are small even as starters. The trout dish I ordered was a four bite piece. and cost 16.5 pounds. It's a real shame to call it a main dish. 4 pieces of peas floated in the sauce. The bread starter was a 4 slices of grocery store bread heated in a toaster. I left hungry. I have never been to a restaurant that looked down on me like that. be away. They don't deserve to have customers.

Regular visitor here and I do not live in Bath! But still go at least 4 times a year.... its a must for wine lovers! Fabulous food...Great wine, great atmosphere! The staff are also very knowledgeable and friendly.

As soon as you step in, the atmosphere was lovely - the staff were friendly and bubbly. It was our first time visiting, so asked our waitress for recommendations. She happily spent the time to go through lots of different ones with us, which we took her up on. SO glad we did, the food was amazing. It does come out as and when it is ready, so for some they may not like this, for us however it was not an issue. Lovely wine, lovely food, lovely service - will definitely be returning.

I dined here for lunch with a relative on a Saturday afternoon. The food was delicious, service excellent, and there was a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. There was an extensive wine menu, as you might expect. I’ve already booked my next visit.

This is a really nice independent restaurant with a huge range of wine by the glass. The food is tapas style but worth a lovely range of original dishes. There is also a small walled Garden area for summer use. It always seems to be busy is booking essential.

I personally found the portions very small. Small plates small plate to share so if you are going in hungry be prepared to spend more. I hate leaving a restaurant hungry lol that's just me.

Chosen for its closeness to The Francis Hotel for quick pre theatre supper. Superb

Good, wine and service all from the very top drawer. Even with a demanding business group of 17 the team were effortless and friendly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Great food and wine. Would highly recommend.

First time in bath. Attended on a friend’s recommendation. I had a pleasant experience at The Corkage in Bath. The staff were very good, offering excellent service and creating a welcoming environment. The atmosphere was also very good, contributing to an overall enjoyable visit. The venue is lovely, with a charming and inviting ambiance. However, I found the food to be overpriced for the amount that you receive, which was a bit disappointing. Despite this, I would recommend trying the arancini balls, which were a standout dish. Thank you to everyone at the corkage for a lovely evening, and we will be recommending this further.

Absolutely cracking wines, really good chat from the staff - it’s a great set up, but food is so so!

Love this place, can’t come to Bath and not stop here.

Food was lovely, however in terms of accessibility there are 2 small steps to enter (just about managed to get my wheelchair up them, a power chair wouldn't manage I reckon) and no disabled toilets/the only toilets are down some stairs despite the Google maps listing saying there is accessible bathrooms. Great place but the accessibility listed is misleading and should be updated to be more accurate

Great place. Staff are really knowledgeable about the wine and make brilliant recommendations. Lovely small plate, great chilled atmosphere. Perfect pre theatre or for lunch or dinner with friends.

I haven't eaten there but bought wine there and was really taken back by how accommodating the staff are there. And that's given me the the want to go back

We ate dinner here on a busy Saturday night. We had a table in the small courtyard garden area which was nice as it was a warm evening. The champagne was great. The food was absolutely delicious - in particular the steak and the arancini, and the crème brûlée to finish. Friendly and professional service. A lovely night out, and I would thoroughly recommend.

I feel this is the best restaurant I’ve ever been in England. Creative small dishes (lots of them are vegetarian) to share and a variety of good wines. Atmosphere and device are also excellent.

Discovered Corkage last week by chance and had a lovely glass of wine before dinner else where. We were quite impressed so we decided to book for this week. We asked for a specific table as I hate being in the middle of a room, but rather prefer having my back to the wall. Anyway, we arrived this evening and there was no record of the booking for the table we requested. We were told it was already booked. After 'much' discussion they gave us the table. The sevice was obviously as one would have expected given the booking issues. The wine was very good, but the food mediocre. Overall quite bland, especially given the cost. Wouldn't recommend the food, but for wine was fine. I won't be going back again as overall I felt it wasn't worth the money.

We were on holiday so enjoyed the experience and all the staff were very lovely. Our waitress was exceptional as she was both very friendly and attentive. Once you order the food it does come pretty quick and is hot and fresh and you are forewarned that it will come as it’s prepared so don’t expect everything at once. Wine recommendations were good and I liked the fact that they let you taste before you commit. You know in advance that the food is sharing plates so know that the portions are not big but I did think some of the items were overpriced for what they were ie one rock oyster at five pound seems steep! But overall we had a fabulous experience and would return but that’s mainly down to the staff and service.

Amazing food and wine! We ordered 5 dishes and 5 glasses of wine, everything was full of flavour and high quality ingredients. The staff are familiar with all of the different wines and are able to recommend something from the large list available. The dish in the photograph is the Pork Belly with apple.

Went. in. Ignored. Left. Never. Again. Have. A. Good. Day.

Lovely food - the dahl flavour was wonderfully complex and the orange sauce with halibut delicious. Easy to recommend Corkage just on the food - we had four other dishes of a similarly high standard. Two other things stood out: a brilliant délice which was a far cry from the usual chocolatey slab - this one had hazelnuts and a hazelnut cream with it; and the excellent service at every stage. Well three things actually - the third being a fabulous Marsala which was recommended with the dessert.

Excellent for vegetarians by the way - 5 of the dishes we had were vegetarian and all delicious, imaginative and generous.

A really stand out place in Bath. We loved the atmosphere and the staff were exceptional. Wine of course was perfect as you would expect with some really exciting and different varieties. Food first class. We couldn’t fault a thing.

The problem with Corkage is that the dahl and Padrón peppers are the best thing on the menu and also the quickest to cook. So by the time anything else arrives (quite slowly at times) you’ve demolished them and nothing else is as good.

Dishes were very creative and tasty

Excellent food and wine served by friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff. A beautiful dining space with a lovely ambience.

Turned up hoping for a table but they were fully booked so they managed to fit us in at the bar. VERY extensive wine list so we asked the server for some help and he suggested a lovely Austrian white wine. There was a great ambience and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a pre dinner (or post) drink. We didn’t eat but the main restaurant looked cosy with a nice looking terrace!

Had a meal for two on the terrace. Beautiful atmosphere and gorgeous food. Intimate, amazing service. Would recommend :)

Dining at Corkage is always such a treat. You are immediately made welcome by the team and the food is innovative, delicious and promptly served. Maybe one day you’ll share that Dal recipe…. ?! Thanks for a terrific meal

Service very good, wine selection excellent and food was enjoyable and imaginative - what holds back a higher rating is just the cost of the food - I’m all for small plates (everyone is at it these days) but price needs to reflect this in my view. That’s the only thing that would stop me going back again.

Excellent. Potatoes are a must. Crab dish excellent. Great waiter. Venison ravioli excellent. Cheese plate excellent.

Always first choice for food & wine in Bath. Never disappoints and the wine list is an absolute delight. FoH team are excellent too.

Held our small wedding reception at Corkage. It could not have been better. The food, the wine and the atmosphere were absolutely perfect. All the staff working on the day were just perfectly professional and friendly. Thank you.

What a gem. All staff so freindly and relaxed. We sat in the covered terrace area which was lovely. Food amazing our favourites were the Dahl, cauliflower with pomegranate & pistachios and the pork belly dish. Good selection of wines. Desserts looked fabulous too but we were full. Wished we lived nearer will return when next in Bath. Absolutely delicious!

Food was delicious, outside seating lovely and service very helpful.

Beautifully prepared sharing plates. Local, seasonal produce, great wines, friendly service. A favourite place in Bath.

This place served up the finest tapas meals. Every one looked fabulous and tasted divine. We ate oysters, ham terrine, roasted cauliflower and awesome chicken livers What a fabulous meal in lovely surroundings and served professionally. Wow, wow wow.

Dropped in and it’s delicious with a great at Atmosphere. Thank you Bath!

Service great, food is overpriced for the quantity and is also nothing special. I loved my wine and the atmosphere of the place, our waitress was also lovely and attentive. The main issue was the quantity of the food, the presentation of the cheese board was not restaurant standard and did not match the price (£15). The pasta we ordered wasn’t tasty enough considering such a small amount came (£15). The steak (£22) was very nice and a more reasonable amount came and the cheesecake was also tasty. If you go enjoy the wine but don’t expect much from the food.

Great atmosphere - it was buzzing when went, with an extensive wine list and interesting menu. I was disappointed though, because for me, the food in reality did not match up to the expectation, which the description on the menu had created. It was tasty enough certainly, but not as interesting as I thought it was going to be. My husband and I shared a very good bottle of wine. Service though very friendly was patchy, in that we had to attract attention, rather than the team spotting that they were needed so to speak. That could have been a product of Corkage being so busy that evening. Overall, we felt it was pricey for what we had, though I'd certainly be happy to go back for a drink.

Visiting Bath for the first time, we sensed that the restaurants were busy. We booked Corkage based on its offer of wines and small dishes. Welcome was impeccable, the heated rear terrace warm and comfortable, service super-helpful and friendly. We chose glasses of Negroamaro, which were delicious, together with Padron Peppers, Venison served with Savoy Cabbage, Hazelnuts and Parsnip Puree, and Beetroot. All were beautifully prepared and served. I subsequently ordered a glass of Malvasia, which was as lovely as the Negroamaro. Would definitely return.
