Hall & Woodhouse, Bath in Bath and North East Somerset

Lovely spacious venue with friendly and efficient service. Sunday roasts were good but not exceptional. It's a brilliant venue for a lively gathering

Overall an ok visit, staff were friendly but not very attentive, we had to chase for menus, to order, for more drinks, for the bill and then for a card reader. We weren’t offered desserts or anything else when the table was cleared. Food tasted nice however portions are definitely on the small side for the prices charged. I wouldn’t necessarily rush back! We felt as though we were sat and then left too it until we flagged someone down for anything.

This was a family treat, having surprised our son, by bringing our dog for a visit & catching up after he started Bath uni in September. After searching for a dog friendly pub / restaurant on the internet, we couldn’t have chosen any better. Great food, great service, friendly staff, but the bonus was how our 3yr old lab was treated. A fantastic night.

Very nice place. We had a good time and ate well.

Had a delicious roast, friendly staff. Only minor things I’d say is that there weren’t adequate vegetables, I only had 3 half potatoes and 2 tiny parsnips (which are my favourite), I wanted to order some cauliflower cheese to go with my roast beef but it was an extra £5.25 (!!) that’s a ‘rip off’ I’m afraid…such a shame as that would’ve just topped off my meal perfectly. Anyway had a lovely time with my family.

We had a really lovely meal, and the atmosphere was great. Our server Freya was friendly and a star :)

Nice place, staff were good. Roast beef was not great though.

Nice place in Bath for lunch or whatever... :) Nice decor, and good menu choices. Nice service from staff, would recommend.

Lovely looking restaurant let down by the food. We visited on 28th Oct and picked this place based on it's location and several good reviews. The restaurant itself is a nice, modern environment with lots of different seating areas. The food was a let down. My steak frites was so tough it was inedible and while I don't expect this particular cut to be high quality (flat iron steak) this was like shoe leather and I left more than half, which at £20 is not something I'd usually do. My daughters pizza was simply tomato puree and cheese, overcooked and dry - a bit like a kids home economics project. My wife had the pie which looked and tasted good. No point complaining as the staff gave the impression they don't want to be there. Of all the restaurants in Bath we could have picked, this was a disappointment on the day.

We booked a table because dogs are allowed, and on arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The staff were friendly, the beers were great and the food was outstanding; our fish was restaurant standard.

A hidden little treasure in Bath, a beautiful location that is amazing. Family owned restaurant with nice friendly service. Great food, great atmosphere!!

Location is great, food is worse than you'd find in wetherspoons for double the price, laughably awful

Do not visit if you have allergies. You will be asked to sign your/your child's life away in the form of a handwritten waiver on a back of a receipt!!!!! It wasn't even a major allergy, more of an intolerance which makes you wonder their standard of food safety if they cannot guarantee cross contamination in their own kitchen. Food also has gone downhill massively since our last visit last year. Update: Mind you, we've already paid for food at that point before we were asked to sign the waiver.

When I called to book, I was bluntly told they could cater for people with allergies, that the people in my party would need to pick appropriate food from the menu!!! I didn't receive the booking confirmation, had to chase it up! Parking was very limited. At the meal, the food was very average, the service was slow & the staff looked well & truly fed up. One place I WON'T be returning to!!!

Family catch up with one of our daughters who is studying in Bath. Visited for Sunday lunch to be told on arrival they were off the menu (we had booked in advance), then 5 mins later they were back on. Ordered drinks and a bottle of tap water, the water never arrived. Sunday dinner was good however one of our party didn't fancy a roast and instead opted for a burger. When it arrived it had clearly been sitting for a while, as the plate was hot but the basket of chips barely warm. The bun for the burger was just a soggy mess on the bottom. Having called the server over an apology was offered with the assurance of a new fresh meal. I rrequested this time that tthe lettuce and pickles be left on the side of the plate. The meal was taken away and returned a short while later. The same pot of chips (not even barely warm now) and all they had done is scraped the sald off of the original burger, put the burger itself, together with now cold and congealed cheese in a new stale bun! (The evidence being the remnants of sauce on top in an otherwise sauce less bun) 1 mouthful was all i could manage. I now realise why at no stage did anyone ask if the meal was OK. As others have mentioned, the serving staff didn't seem interested all of which is a real shame as the place is really nice and we really expected a great experience.

Friendly service and delicious pizzas 🍕😁

Great dog friendly place to eat. Brilliant place to be in Bath to eat out.

We entered the premises to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast whilst staying in Bath. The young lady serving behind the barsaid they were fully booked but if we would like to sit down at a reserved table as long as we left 10 minutes before the booking. We sat at a table which was reserved quite clearly for 2.30pm for Sally. THEN A VERY AGGRESSIVE, RUDE ABUSIVE OLDER WOMAN INSISTED WE COULD NOT SIT THERE AS IT WAS BOOKED FOR 2pm ! Which wasn't true. This was only just after 1pm. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER BEEN SPOKEN TO IN SUCH AN APPALLING WAY. AVOID AT All COST.

Best cocktails in town! Enormous Sunday roast- and one of the best I've had in a loooooong time. Good deserts too

Music is great on a Friday night !

Went on a busy Sunday afternoon. We sat down and it became obvious that the noise was too much for my Autistic child. Our waitress, Ruby, was lovely and said she would see if we could go to the upstairs section which was currently closed. The manager arrived and was amazing, not only did she take us upstairs but she sat us in a private dining room. Such amazing and understanding people. The food was amazing too.

Nice place, great decor and design and dog friendly! We all enjoyed the food which was good value for money.

Wine selection was reasonable, but the food was very mediocre, I ordered grilled nduja chicken that felt more like steamed chicken with some sauce, chips were just the average pub grade and there was a very small handful of salad too, but I wouldn't go back for dinner or lunch.

My partner and I had a lovely meal here. We didn't book, we managed to get a table on the ground floor. This place has changed a lot since I last went here. All Hall & Woodhouse pubs have really nice food, and the service is always excellent. Atmosphere always great 👍🏽. I always recommend Hall & Woodhouse to anyone who is looking to have a nice meal out!

Beautiful design and spacious layout over 3 floors. A great venue whether you are a couple or a large group. Definitely the most modernly aesthetic restaurant/ bar we visited while in Bath. Staff are very friendly and professional adding to the overall experience.

Had a drink on the rooftop, plenty of seating and lovely atmosphere.

Came in with my wife, was greeted by our server Jess W, she was super friendly and made us feel so welcome! She gave expert recommendations on wine pairings for my meal.

A really well designed interior. Really nice place and will clearly cater for a lot of people. Good draught selection. Food pretty meh though

Food was good we all had steak cooked to different requirements and was all perfectly cooked. Service was good the only thing I would have to criticise is it echoes in the restaurant so can be a bit noisy but having said that I would go back.

Outstanding service. No wait time and a great selection of beers. Heaps of room and good music.

What an amazing place, good drinks food toilets and atmosphere. Loved it so much we went back twice during our stay in Bath

Great place to go for a drink or some food. Also very kid friendly. Would recommend.

It took them a long time to serve us although it is true that there were 20 people. They also gave us a table that was a board on trestles. Maybe my bad experience was due to the number of people. Very good food and wonderful atmosphere.

Had the burrata salad with added garlic bread as a quick lunch. Absolutely delicious. Sadly I couldn't try anything from the wine list as I was working but I did eye up the picpoul!

Every time we needed something, we needed to stood up, walk to the bar and ask for our food and drinks. The waitress are nice, but it seems like there is no manager in charge. Food was reasonable. If I come back, it would be because the architecture is beautiful.

A very chilled and informal atmosphere - it was a special place to catch up as a family 😊 Sienna was our waitress and she was incredibly attentive and looked after us so well. She gave us space when we needed it and was super polite and enthusiastic about the food she served us and responsive to us. Sienna is a credit to Hall & Woodhouse.

I loved this place. you have to go at least once to try. Loved the pull the chain toilets. Comfortable old chairs. Decor is amazing. Rooftop looks amazing. Hope they open this in the summer?

We entered the pub, looked very nice but was soon to be disappointed! We wanted to sit in the roof terrace but there were no signs to say if you order downstairs and take your drink with you or there is a bar upstairs. The member of staff I asked said she didn't know! I asked another member of staff and they said order here ....I ordered our drinks, they were out of Outland Tropical and sparkling water. I carried our drinks upstairs, to the terrace, the floor and table were filthy and sticky.....also the seagulls which I know you can't avoid but it would help if there was a member of staff on the terrace permanently clearing the tables as soon as the customers left...loads of empty plates and dishes encouraging the gulls! Lots of complaining customers mainly saying they had their food but not their cutlery! I'm in hospitality and rule one before the food goes out, make sure the customers have their cutlery!

It's a lovely pub but when we visited for drinks on a Friday lunchtime and got a cider and a Fursty Ferret. The Fursty Ferret was horrible and vinegary. The lady behind the bar kindly swapped it for a Badger Best beer but that was also foul. Didn't bother asking for another different beer as all the beers were off. Been to this pub in Bath before and always disappointed by their beer.

Great place to relax with friends. Decore fantastic and friendly staff. The food was okay and could have been better but still not bad.

Thoroughly disappointed, avoid these scammers! The service was incredibly rude and slow. The roast was dry and small, the Yorkshire puddings were just air, and ultra crispy. Moreover, they lied about the unlimited Yorkshire puddings on the menu, and refused to serve them. The menu was also extremely limited, most options were not available, even the pizzas. Will not be coming here again.

Amazing food and service from Charlotte who handled the nut allergen with great effect. Thank you

Lucas was a great waiter. Food was amazing.

Great service and great atmosphere. Beautiful building with a nice rooftop terrace. Nice and tucked away from the busy streets of bath. Beautiful coffee served from a separate counter to the bar added more of a coffee shop vibe that was very welcome. Loved it

Great for a drink. Lovely rooftop bar. Food not so good. We were a bit late eating and were rushed to leave by 10.30

Food- amazing. Freshly cooked, to perfection. Staff- a little awkward at times but overall good service. Lovely atmosphere 👌🏽

Had a family meal for four here today. Atmosphere was nice,looked great. Very disappointed with the food which cost me 85 pounds for four. I had a satay burger. the chicken was a tiny portion no where near even half a chicken breast. On top of this it was dry and tasteless. And the satay for this was a small spoonful of satay sauce atop the chicken. Not very inventive there. They fries were ok, but hey it's fries right and the chilli jam was tasty,but when the small pot of sauce is the tastiest part of your 18 pound meal, it's bad. Not exaggerating but a meal deal of the day McDonald's chilli chicken wrap for 1.99 beats this for taste and value hand's down. My partner had mac and cheese, and a small dish of this came with a scrunch of salad leaves, that also is not a good values meal for another 18 pounds. Sorry but in today's world they need to try harder.

Great ambience. Food was also delicious.

Staff need education on customer service. Ordered a dry martin and lemonade in first round. Second round staff argued they didn't have it. The salted caramel cheesecake was served with extremely salty honeycomb inedible. Mini pud with coffee, coffee served immediately and pudding significantly later do either hold coffee with pud, or pud and no coffee. Staff didn't really care and glarey eyed . Wouldn't taste the salt

The ambience is really fantastic! Allows you to overlook various shortcomings... Our food was ok - but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Service is almost non-existent.

Service very slow. One bar staff serving when was 3 people waiting. Other staff floating around didn't seem to care. Went to roof garden. Dirty plates left out for 15-20mins. Seagulls had a feast at dismay of customers. Staff routinely walked past tables with dirty dishes and old glasses without a care in the world. Where the management was this Sunday was a mystery. Would've been a nice bar if staff were managed properly.

Great roof terrace for sunny days. The toilets are a bit of a hike though.

Outstanding. Absolutely beautiful, cosy and great lunch.

Lovely quiet roof terrace - a quiet break from the business around. Recommended for a quick fortifying break !

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant, the decoration and atmosphere is lovely, our waitress Sienna was very helpful and prompt with service ! Would recommend:)

Il locale è bello non c’è che dire peccato che il cibo sia pessimo. Eravamo solo noi due e un’altra coppia e abbiamo aspettato più di mezz’ora per avere un fish & chips che chiaramente era riscaldato: gommoso, secco e le patate sembravano di marmo. Per quello che costa davvero meglio andare da un’altra parte. Sconsigliato

My good friend brought me to your lovely establishment on Tuesday and I had my elderly dog with me, your brilliant member of staff Luke made an exceptional effort to take us up in the lift to accommodate my dog, he was kind, welcoming and went above and beyond. The roof garden was great and service quick. The whole experience was lush. Thank you

Large pub with nice decor, set over 3 levels including a roof top bar. We just went for drinks which were hood, but will be back again maybe for food

Jack was are server, thank you jack. Great food, excellent service, no faults here definitely recommend!

Lovely atmosphere with very good beers. They were happy to make me a coffee too.

I had Chicken and Bacon pie in it was lovely, my friend had fish and chips, he said the fish was very earthy and chips over cooked. We had a party of 6 eating and everyone bar one enjoyed there meal. We also travelled from Yorkshire to try out our favourite beer on tap Golden Champion, and they didn't have it on or have any in bottles. Very disappointed.

Relaxed Pub, with a good selection of drinks.

We visited for Sunday Lunch and were able to get a table easily in this vast space. The menu was vast with the usual Sunday Roasts and plenty other options. We went for the Roast beef, Vegetarian Roast and a Cheese Burger. All were delicious and the Roasts cooked to perfection with amazing yorkies! Its a case of ordering at the bar and there are multiple levels where you can dine. We didn't choose outside, although it was kindly offered, as shade was limited and it was a very sunny day. Highly recommend

Good place to eat in Bath The interior is beautiful

Nice atmosphere and fine food at very moderate prices

Not a fan. The roof top it overcrowded with chairs and tables. Bar staff ignored us for a while until we challenged them. Better pubs to go to in Bath.

After visiting Bath on the Beach, we, as a family of four with two young kids, called in for some quick food in late July 24, we’d seen a review that said it was expensive. For the location and decor it was maybe £5-10 more than we’d usually pay however the order-at-table service via the QR code was quick and easy with prompt table service. The food was nice and we used the wheelchair lift for our buggy. When we visited the place was busy with good atmosphere. Worth a visit.

I ate steak there, it wasn't good, but the drinks were great and the dessert was very sweet. Unfortunately, the steak I ordered was rubbery and almost inedible. If it had been a little colder, you wouldn't have been able to eat it at all. Maybe the quality of the meat wasn't good. I hope this feedback helps you.

Quirky restaurant/bar. Amazing layout with lovely cocktails. Staff were very friendly

16 of us were booked in on a Saturday lunch time for a hen do. Our waitress, Charlotte, was excellent from the moment we sat down. Food came out incredibly fast for how busy the rest of the restaurant was. The boss was also incredibly attentive and helpful, resolving an issue for us that was way beyond his remit. I can’t thank everyone who served us enough - specifically Charlotte, the kitchen team, El Jefe and the young lady who ran out to find the hen a brand new veil for the day. We’ll be back!

£4.15 for a glass of coke zero that tasted like soda water. Not great. They also don't accept cash.

Very smart bar, pleasant staff and a good choice of beers, we didn't eat here but saw meals being served which looked tasty

Great looking restaurant, buzzy atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely food and good value

Enjoyed a sunny evening on the roof top terrace then a whiskey in the spacious and joyfully decorated ground floor. Tasty food and great atmosphere

a little bit disappointing...food was really good ..chefs did a great job ...service staff were fine but staff behind the bar were pretty average ...and in no rush to serve

Really lovely place to meet up with friends for cocktails and lovely food. The pub itself is beautiful inside. I would definitely eat here again and would recommend it 😋 👌 x

The meeting place for a weekend of festivities and it was perfect for some time in the sun. The drinks tasted cheap, but did not have a price tag to match. The food was genuinely not good and felt like they could have come from a school cafeteria. The food service was very fast but the drinks just took forever as there were not enough staff to meet demand. I would return, but mostly because it has the best rooftop in the area (although they could put some effort into sprucing it up).

I visited Hall & Woodhouse Bath on a Saturday evening for dinner and drinks with some family. The restaurant and bar is spread over several levels, with the ground floor mainly a bar, then a restaurant level on the first floor. They've also got a rooftop terrace, which would have been nice to enjoy a pre-dinner drink if it wasn't being a typical British summer and raining. The meal started off very strong, as I shared a Baked Somerset Camembert - which was very well flavored and had plenty of things to dip in it. I opted for the Nduja Chicken for my main course, which was very disappointing. The sauce with the rather small chicken breast was essentially a spicy oil - but it was completely over-powering and just made everything greasy. It cost nearly £20 too - so not cheap 'pub grub'. The drinks at Hall & Woodhouse were good, and I must say the Long Island Iced Teas were very well made and good value too. The service we had in the bar was quite slow and the waitress who served us looked like she wanted to go home. However, the service once we were sat in the restaurant was much better. The staff were friendly and attentive, and made sure we were well looked after. Overall, it was a mixed bag whilst visiting Hall & Woodhouse. Parts of it were good, parts of it were bad. It's definitely a place to visit for drinks - however I would potentially think twice before visiting again for food.

If you find yourself meandering through the picturesque streets of Bath, bathed in its classical elegance, you'll stumble upon Hall & Woodhouse. Now, this isn't just any run-of-the-mill boozer. No, it’s a masterful blend of old-world charm and modern flair. As you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that says, "Yes, you are indeed in a traditional British pub." But then, just as you're settling into this comforting notion, you spot a spiral staircase. Yes, a spiral staircase that whisks you away to a rooftop terrace that’s rather nice, I must say. It's the perfect place to gaze over the rooftops of Bath while nursing your pint or getting slightly tipsy on something a bit more effervescent. Now, let’s talk drinks. The beer selection is robust, reassuringly British, and designed to please even the most discerning ale aficionado. But here’s where things get interesting. Come Saturday night, the place transforms. Suddenly, you’re surrounded by ladies in their finest attire, sipping cocktails and Prosecco like there’s no tomorrow. It's like a scene from a film – utterly brilliant and completely unexpected. But wait, there's more. For those early birds or, dare I say, the peculiar breed who don't appreciate a good pint, there's a coffee bar. Yes, you heard that right. A coffee bar, catering to the caffeine enthusiasts and the morning shoppers who pop in for a quick fix. In short, Hall & Woodhouse is a bit of a gem. It's got the traditional pub feel, the modern bar vibe, and a rooftop terrace that’ll make you the envy of your mates. Whether you’re there for a beer, a cocktail, or even just a coffee, it’s definitely worth a visit. Cheers!

Well priced and friendly staff with great service. Good portions of food & relaxed atmosphere.

It was quick service but the food came out cold. The mac and cheese was not great. They seemed to wait for everything to be ready and by that time it was cold.

Have visited a number of times and today was no different.....pleasant and helpful welcome , excellent service, and lively room....was there for a hen party.....no complaints, as always.......many thanks

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, good food. Thank you.

I've been here before and no doubt it has an interesting and feature full decor to be enjoyed. What really rubs me up the wrong way is having to wait 10 minutes to get served because there was only one bar person on, and then having to stop her pouring the drink because the glass was obviously very dirty, and then being charged £11.45 for an Amstel and a Thatchers gold for the privilege of being in the establishment.

Me and my family visited this lovely place last Sunday! Very nice and helpful staff and delicious Sunday roast!!!! We will return

I had a business meeting and lunch with some clients on Friday, and I just wanted to thank a particular member of staff called Daisy. She was absolutely delightful, and could not have been more helpful, a real star!

Nice pub, lovely roof top terrace. Only issue was getting hassled by all the seagulls

Emma and the rest of the staff on Saturday made our experience amazing and by request embarrassed the birthday boy by singing him a song and making him wear a cowboy hat.

We booked for a table of 8 for Father’s Day. Upon arrival we were stood waiting to be shown our seats, then were left without any service. Had to go out to the bar to ask for food and drinks menus, as well as asking for service to take our orders after sitting there for half an hour . We were surrounded by a few different tables who all were experiencing table service, and due to the high number of us, we chose not to follow the QR code route as could see that table service was an option. After waiting half an hour to get service we finally placed our orders, 20 minutes later our drink orders were then lost and had to wait another 10 minutes to finally get our drinks in which the wrong drinks were bought several times. Upon the drinks arriving, one of our two shared starters came out and the second nearly 10 minutes later. Then when our mains finally started coming out nearly a 15 minute wait between the first and last plate , half the food was cold, we mostly ordered beef in which was all very chewy. i was the last the receive the meal after being asked if I even ordered a main as they had only another one to bring out even tho 8 mains were ordered in total. following this, after asking for cauliflower cheese when ordering and being told they had sold out, we opted for pigs in blankets instead, which were forgotten about and brought out later with a side of cauliflower flower cheese on the house due to the disrupted service, even tho we were told they were sold out? Incredibly disappointed with the service, especially after recommending my family to dine here and being met with staff ignoring our table and being stared at multiple times by servers once we complained about the lack of attentiveness to our table as well as being ‘ we will deal with it, pleas sit back down’ when going up to ask about the problem with the drinks when waiting 30 minutes. Would not recommend here, seems that other reviews have shared similar poor service even when the restaurant was not full.

We went for lunch on my son's birthday. Staff were really helpful and when there was an issue with the starter the Manager resolved it quickly by refunding the cost and also sending a birthday drink over for my son. Going over and above. Thank you for a great lunch!

Really lovely restaurant inside. Staff were excellent and the burger was fab. The steak frite wasn’t cooked to my liking (flattened steak preferred with this cut of beef). Pudding was excellent too. Catered for dogs - really welcomed our pooch and provide dog bowl and biscuits.

Came yesterday with my daughter, sister and her children, would never return. Upon arrival I was stood around waiting for a member of staff to approach me as I had a booking but no one did so I had to ask someone, was booked to sit upstairs but I asked if we could sit downstairs as I had a pram, was then told to just sit anywhere wasn’t shown to a table not explained how to order etc. We then had to actually ask to even be served as no one came to serve us. We paid using the scan barcode which I later regretted paying in advance. Our food came out at different times so we didn’t eat together, beef was really chewy hard to even cut through and the potatoes were hard. Was going to complain at the end but got fed up of waiting for someone to even come over to clear our plates so didn’t bother, loads of members off staff stood at the bar when we left and not one said good bye or anything like normally they do in a restaurant. I found the customer service poor don’t think we were posh enough for them so they didn’t seem to care about us! Would not return

The beef roast was very tough and beer tasted off. Good atmosphere. Seems like a tourist trap.

Nice venue and good drink selection but the food was poor. I had the schnitzel and it was overcooked as was the fried egg on the top. Surely cooking a runny fried egg is a basic skill so I was disappointed.

Very poor service, small insignificant portion, no customer focus at all, toilets are disgusting

Always lovely atmosphere and beautifully decorated. Great variery of food and great service even when it is busy.

Held a two course graduation celebration dinner for 80+ people and it was the perfect venue, excellent food and service and a beautiful space with drinks on the terrace. Emma and the team were amazing and I can’t thank them enough for making our evening special!

Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious!

Evening meal for my mum's 80th great venue great atmosphere

Great place for a pre-match lunch with friends. As usual, the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic.
