Hall & Woodhouse, Bath in Bath and North East Somerset

Didn't have food, just a couple of lattes and they were really good so assume food just as good

The Best Waiter/Bartender Ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about David, the South African! From day one, he has been an absolute breath of fresh air. Not only is he incredibly helpful, but his charm and humour light up the entire pub. I always look forward to our interactions, whether it’s at the bar or him serving my table. His knack for making everyone feel welcome and valued is truly rare. David’s physical presence is just as impressive; he’s definitely one of the most good-looking waiters around! But what really sets him apart is his outstanding work ethic. The pub really wouldn’t function without his expertise and dedication. He ensures everything runs smoothly, and food comes out of the pass on time. In short, David is more than just a waiter and bartender; he’s the heart and soul of this place. I can’t imagine this pub without him, and I’m grateful every day for the positivity and energy he brings. If you ever have the chance to visit, you’ll see exactly why David deserves all the praise !

I had a egg and bacon bap which I had to send back twice and still had raw egg ended up asking for a refund and went to a lovely sandwich shop just down the road

Drinks are good, service nice and friendly. Vegetarian pizza is absolutely rubbish lol

A wonderful venue for food and great atmosphere.

Went there for roof top drinks at the end of the day exploring Bath. Two for one cocktails (Mojitos) were awesome. Spot on!

Lovely building, good staff and great choice.

Beef roast was good, a bit on the expensive side. Yorkshire pudding was a bit tough today.

The place looks and feels very upmarket and an ideal place for a birthday meal. There were several hen parties on the tables around us enjoying the atmosphere. The food sounds very fancy on the menu, however the rigatoni carbonara didn't live up to my expectations.

Good atmosphere, lovely food and very friendly service from Rhianna

Food was fantastic - great choice of food, arrived quickly. Rhianna was great - cheerful and helpful. Lovely place

We had the most beautiful time at the hall and woodhouse. Myself and a few friends sat on the roof where we made great use of the 2 for £16 cocktails. The roof is a beautiful place to sit and the staff were so friendly and welcoming when we arrived. We hadn’t made a booking but asked if it would be okay for us to find a table downstairs to have some food (we wanted to avoid the seagulls as recommended!:) and the staff directed us to a table. We shared the 5 for £23 on small plates and they were all delicious. Would definitely come back and bring more friends:)

Popped in for some drinks on roof terrace, very smart place, good service

I’ve always believed positive feedback is so important and that’s why I wanted to write a review. We visited on Saturday 27th April for lunch and had a fantastic experience! Our waiter, Charlie (blonde curly hair) was absolutely amazing - so friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. The service was brilliant from start to finish, and Charlie's warm personality made our visit even more special. We'll definitely be back!

The staff were welcoming and friendly. We ordered some food which came quick and was nice. The place has 3 floors, dog friendly and has lovely roof terrace which is great in sun!

Lovely atmosphere, staff had great recommendations! Great for drinkers, especially the roof terrace!

Always great food, welcoming and friendly staff and great atmosphere all around. I'd definitely visit!

Just shocked at the lack of service and the attitude from the staff. Wanted to use the rooftop terrace but they said they were full, fair enough. But then asked how long the wait was and how many people were ahead of us and all I got was ‘I don’t know?’ To every question. Told to go downstairs and wait. Cool, asked ‘will you come and let me know? No, you gotta keep checking?!’ Train your staff better and out a better system in place.

Lovely friendly staff. Nice airy space. Fantastic beer choice. Food was largely great. Pulled Mushroom sandwich - avoid. Not sure if it was usually this bad but dried up lumps of gristle is not a normal taste I'd wxpet

Food was good... Harisa chicken. Sticky toffee pudding was very good. Decent selection of ales on tap.

Gets very busy, food is pretty good and decently priced. The Mrs and I come relatively regularly. Very pretty restaurant, cool staircase, decor and rooftop. One of very few rooftop bars in Bath, although half ur drink might be spilt by the time you get up to the top, and there isn’t actually a view of anything up there either. Staff are generally very friendly and hard working people, doing their best to get through the number of customers. Up and down all the stairs all day mustn’t be easy. Bartender said he’d been working since 9am (11hrs) so he was starting to the plot at that point bless him. Big respect to them all.

Great for a drink, but food is terrible and service is slow (staff are friendly though!)

A great place in central Bath. Accommodated 10 of us plus dog when other places could not. Menu and food great alongside the Badger beers. Staff were great but seemed to need more on as stretched to keep all tables serviced.

Nice place, lovely decor, can get busy but that’s better than it always being quiet for a pub!

Went for a wedding party drunk after a registry office wedding in Bath. The bar and its staff were excellent throughout.

It was Bank Holiday weekend but service wasn't up to the usual standard. Wasn't the usual special event and felt like a standard Bistro meal with mediocre service. Had booked in advance but table service took 35 minutes. Food was split served with half turning up 15 minutes later after I chased it. App for ordering and paying wasn't working.

A lovely meal (the nourish bowl was delicious) and wonderfully looked after by our server Ella!

So we booked a last minute table for our wedding anniversary understanding it’s a pub. Great atmosphere and welcome. However once seated up stairs it took 15mins to ask for drink and wine list, and then we asked for loaded nachos starter and came at 8.40 (table booked for 8pm) a small pot of nachos tiny and not shareable… mains came after and the steak was really over cooked and bland… a bottle of wine, two mains and a beer and the starter was £80! Next time I think we will just go to Nando’s.. gutted ruined the evening! Due to slow service… we weren’t the only ones I noticed the table near us ordered a Shiraz and waited and then was brought a white and then waited and finally brought a red the waitress didn’t know and admitted the difference between the wines. At that point I was worried…..

We came here, and The service was great. Ella did a great job. Food was classic pub grub done to an excellent standard.

Lovely place, food was superb, and service by Ella was spot on. Howver, the photo of the horses falling in the national just outside the toilets was a bit odd!

Rianana was very attentive and friendly. She was very keen help and we had a great Sunday lunch

Great food & service from Ella!

Ella was our waitress’s amazing service

Had a lovely evening with the family. Ella looked after us all evening. She was amazing. Really looked after us. Food and drinks were lovely. Highly recommend. Thank you Ella.

Had an absolutely amazing time at Hall and Woodhouse !! My family came all the way for Leicester and was there first time in Bath. Ella was servicing us and she was amazing very lovely, attentive and was great with my little sister. The food was excellent with my dad steak being cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend especially for families

Ella (the blonde), we had a lovely meal her knowledge of dry and juicy roses was perfect. It kept the ladies happy so we had a lovely night l. We will be back and hope she serves us again.

The Venue itself is very nicely devoured, the atmosphere is very chilled and ambient, we had 3 small plates as a shared starter for 2 and then the Bacon Chop and the Steak and Tanglefoot Pie from the Mains. Also a good range of drinks to choose from. Amazing... Our waitress for our visit was Ella, she was very friendly, helpful and efficient.

Service was really good (Rhiannon) and food was great

Anais and all the staff were fantastic - they were such gracious hostesses at my 50th, am so grateful to you all!!!

Lovely lunch, brilliant service by Rhianna

Nice chilled bar with good food and excellent service. Brilliant alternative to the usual chains

The service staff were very kind but it took an age to order and for our food to come. Which we then had to rush to eat so we could catch our train home. The food was ok, I don't think anyone was particularly blown away by it. The restaurant itself was beautiful, a nice way to spend a meal with friends.

Drink service was amazing, Charlotte was so attentive and remembered my order when I came back to the bar :)

Went here for a roast dinner and it was good, better rhan i expected.

I had high hopes for this place as it was recommended by a friend who lived in bath years ago but sadly I left feeling disappointed. Firstly, we ordered a starter to share but weren’t given any plates. Then for mains I went for a fish pie which largely consisted of large chunks of leeks and cheese with barely any fish. The potatoes were thrown on top (not a pie) and the side salad was old spinach, 2 tomatoes and a small amount of red onion. My partner’s burger was cold and overdone. Our waitress was nice but it seemed odd that the chefs were standing around chatting to waitresses in front of the open kitchen.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch; excellent food and lovely atmosphere. Rhianna was an absolute delight; so personable and friendly. A true asset to your team! We’ll be back, hopefully Rhianna is there!

Great atmosphere and super friendly catering staff. Caity took great care of us!:)

Brilliant very helpful Caity serving

Shocking service, one person behind the bar on a busy Saturday, web orders taking priority over people at the bar. Kept running out of glasses.

Food was just average, room was half full but still noisy

Lovely Sunday lunch. Great service from Freya. Thank you

We had a wonderful roast dinner here for Mother’s Day, Food was incredible and Charlotte R did a fantastic job on service! Thank you so much 😀

Everything was amazing, the food, the service, the atmosphere. Loved it!

Great food and lovely staff super helpful thank you!

Visited today and noted signs (and bar staff) who mentioned last orders would be at 6:00pm, and the bar would close at 7:00pm for staff training. Not a problem. Went to the bar at 5:53pm to order some drinks and was told impolitely that they were no longer serving because it was 'nearly six'. Second member of staff also shouted across the bar 'yeah it's nearly six, we're closing up'. I understand the staff were keen to close but refusing service before last orders is unprofessional. Some members of our party of ten had just ordered full drinks 5 mins before. Really disappointing customer service, nice pub and enjoyed the rooftop but unlikely would come back.

We were a group of 16 getting together for a long-overdue family reunion over a Saturday lunchtime. We pre -booked a long table upstairs next to the private dining. It was the perfect spot. Everyone enjoyed their meals which all arrived at the same time! Staff friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back.

Having visited Hall and Woodhouse before, we were looking forward to returning for a family dinner on our weekend away in Bath. We were seated next to a large family table who were loud and disruptive sat in the middle of the restaurant (toys being thrown on the floor etc) and a buggy parked right by our table, but this wasn’t the main issue. When ordering, we were told that several things on the menu were unavailable (it would have been nice to have known this before waiting to order). One of the starters, the baked Camembert was completely over cooked and almost tasteless. When it came to mains, the chicken schnitzel arrived cold and the vegetables were completely over cooked like they’d been sat under a hot lamp for ages and had to be sent back. The Nduja chicken was dry and tasteless, lacking sauce, ans the fish and chips was soggy and average. There was one young waiter who was lovely and he was very apologetic but was clearly under pressure. We asked for more water several times and it wasn’t brought to the table. Overall, for a bill for 6 people that was about £250 which wasn’t good value for money at all and we were sorely disappointed and won’t be returning.

Sunday dinner sides platter thing was great! Recommend

Had fish pie, was disgusting - hardly any fish and way too much salt. In fact I don’t think I have ever had such a salty and protein-less meal. Partner had hake with samphire but kitchen had no samphire which we were not told about when ordering. Noisy place, full of hen party’s and app didn’t work so had to queue at busy bar to order.

Ella, Freya and friend gave us a great Happy Birthday rendition!

Ella and Lucas were amazing and went the extra mile to look after us! Great service, really friendly staff and delicious food. Because of them, we will be back.

Ella was a great waitress and very attentive.

Thank you Ella for lovely service

Service by Ella was excellent, food was good, atmosphere was good.

Amazing and lovely food! Brilliant service from Ella and team! Really good environment will be back

It was a great experience! The cozy atmosphere paired perfectly with the warm, service from our waiter Ella. The food was cooked to perfection! A wonderful spot—highly recommend!

Lovely place. Good value and we always visit here when we’re in Bath.

Had a fantastic evening in H&W yesterday. We were a party of 16, celebrating a friend’s retirement and used the private dining room. The food was excellent and hats off to the chefs who ensured that all of our food arrived at the same time. And a massive thank you to Charlotte for looking after us - she was absolutely brilliant and made our evening special. And thanks also to Lucas for sort your the bill so slickly. On a beautiful, sunny day the roof terrace is one of the finest spots in Bath to have a sundowner. Cracking venue.

The roasted vegetable and tomato tart is delicious. Friendly staff.

Ella was a great server for our big group, food was decent.

Ella is amazing she was so attentive and fun to have as a server thank you!!

Great food and atmosphere! Ella was great!

It was quite cold, halloumi fries were quite dry but Ella the server was brilliant and bubbly thank you

The building and decoration are lovely and the menu for mains has a good choice including gf options. We were quickly asked for drinks orders and not rushed. We had a 7:30 reservation and the mains came about 8:30 but we were not in a rush. Up until 9 pm we were quite satisfied apart from the draft coming from the roofbar. We finished our mains and we're looking at ordering desserts and drinks and this was when our experience started to decline. Firstly, the choice of desserts of ice cream only for people who cannot have gluten is very limiting. Nonetheless members of our party ordered dessert and we would have ordered more drinks, except that while we were waiting for dessert the staff started to pack up the restaurant giving us the sensation that less than 2 hrs after our reservation and before we had finished our food we were being rushed out. The staff did not warn us this was going happen nor did they offer the option of going to the bar for more drinks. The tidying included opening the good lift making it even colder than it was with draft from the roof bar. Members of our party had to put their coats on. This resulted in us leaving disappointed with how our evening ended.

Charlotte was a fantastic waitress for our table of 17. She couldn’t have been more helpful on a busy day. Thank you!

Was very pleasant experience, food was delicious and me and my whole family loved the meal Rhianna was very helpful and polite and 100% will come back again (Had a funny moment when I asked her if her name was spelt the normal way and she said what is and luckily I got it right otherwise I would have been embarrassed made me laugh tho haha) 100% recommend

Great service and lovely food in a vibey pub! Would go again

Booked a table for a meal before the bath half marathon. Was very excited as the menu looked great. We turned up and were told that even though we had a table booked, they couldn’t actually give us a table because their booking system allows bookings without letting the staff know… it was a 45 minute wait for a table. We had to go elsewhere. The server was very apologetic and nice, suggesting other places that might have room for us to eat as it was an extremely busy time in Bath due to multiple events on. I think management needs to overturn this as there were many spaces available to book so we won’t be the only ones let down. Very disappointing.

We had a lovely birthday lunch for 10 people. The food and service were great, especially our waitress Rhianna, who was very accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this place for a group meal

Lovely food, great service and nice decor, we were served by Rhianna and she was so friendly and helpful :)

Good value pre Rugby meal. Excellent service from Rhianna which helped us to have an enjoyable supper

Great experience for Sunday lunch! We had the lovely Rhiannon serving us, the service was quick and very friendly. The portion for the roast dinner was very generous and the beef was very tasty

Incredible pub - staff were so helpful, offering to help with a pram on the stairs. Charlotte C particularly went above and beyond - thank you SO much!

Ella was our server today. Staff were very good always on hand and attentive. We had a Sunday roast which was cooked to perfection.

I thought Ella who served us really made the meal. She was so sweet and attentive. As soon as I wanted a little extra (butter) I only had to raise my eye, and she was over at the table. I credit her for making our lunch feel like a special occasion. Thank you Ella!

Ella served my fish pie with utter finesse.

All staff were friendly and helpful. The ambience was impeccable.

Good food, good atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, particularly Charoltte R.

Excellent establishment in a beautiful building. Good food with friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Great venue, food was fantastic.

We had a beautiful private room for our daughter 21 st , our food choices some got changed but the manager was professional and gave us a complimentary bottle of cava and sorted the bill accordingly , the staff Erin and another girl waitressing who we didn't get her name was excellent, would fully recommend xxx

Thank you Charlotte for great service

Megan was an absolute star tonight she really outdid herself, what a lovely team, this made the place a standout 5 star

Megan was spectacular she made my night. Her humour and service were top notch. Glad I came here such a good night

Lovely lunch and server, thanks Ruby M

Fantastic place, great atmosphere and as always superb food.

Delicious roast and very speedy service. Thank you Charlotte C and Sara!

Lovely food, great service, really good value for money

Charlotte R was a great waitress this eve!

Very busy Saturday, took ages to get service at our table. The meat in the burgers was cold, chewy and dry. The fries were too thin and not properly cooked. Other diners had fish and chips, but the fish tasted old and the batter was soggy. Except for the slow initial ordering, the service was good. Not a good experience at all, saved only by the people we had lunch with.
