Haywards At The Grasmere in Bath and North East Somerset

Me & my Wife went here first time and was not disappointed, excellent service & excellent food.

Really lovely time this afternoon took my friend for afternoon tea as a birthday treat. It was very busy the staff were professional, really friendly, attentive and unobtrusive. The afternoon tea consisted of well filled sandwiches, delicious range of savouries, including beef wellington pie, pork and fennel sausage roll, bao bun, macaroni cheese croquette and more…absolutely divine. A range of mini sweets including fruit meringue, scone, Victoria sponge, lemon posset and a profiterole. The slate was decorated with a hand written chocolate ‘happy birthday’ message which was a really lovely touch. Pot of tea or coffee and also very well priced amazing cocktails. We’d highly recommend Haywards. The restaurant is really beautiful with ambient lighting, comfy seating and a super relaxed environment despite it being busy. We’ll definitely go back. Thanks Haywards at the Grasmere Team😍

Good service very polite staff clean and tidy

Nice restaurant, friendly service and the very best Sunday roast I can ever remember having. So why four stars? I don't like restaurants that sneak a service charge onto a bill. So look out for it. If the food and service in a restaurant is good I'll tip accordingly.

Good roast. Nice to have a place with decent food in keynsham. Bit pricey but food was good quality and service was great too. Defo would return. Extra pot of gravy for table would be handy. And roast potatoes were hard to swallow as we're quite dense and dry. I prefer them to be crunchy and crispy on outside and soft and fluffy on inside so it's less of a mission to eat them. But that's preference, I imagine many like it as it is.

Tonight was our 2nd time at The Grasmere! Both times we ate outside in the garden. Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere 👌

Great food - and an amazing staff. They deliver prompt service and always with a pleasant attitude and genuine smile that makes the whole experience a well deserved five star rating.

Been here twice for a Sunday roast. Both times were delicious. The roast portion was huge and extra gravy. Can be slow when trying to pay the bill but food comes quickly.

Lovely helpful staff who looked after us very well during a late lunch break from a stressful journey. Food was excellent - tasty goan fishcakes with a perfectly dressed salad, and delicious Caesar salad. It was very restful and restorative in the quiet courtyard.

Had tapas Thursday at the restaurant , was lovely , definitely recommended

We held Mums funeral wake at The Grasmere Hotel yesterday and it was just as we wanted, the service and food were excellent and the outdoor terrace in the sunshine made it perfect. Everyone commented on the food which had plenty of choice and was over and above your standard buffet. Thank you.

Very good place, great breakfast and a friendly staff!

We had a lovely Mothers day celebration this afternoon and the food was delicious.So many choices and all top notch. The service was top not h too,very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.Thank you very much.

Amazing service tonight. Staff very friendly and acommodating . Food top class. I would happily recommend a visit.

Great place for a stay. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Free parking. Overall good service and food.

Polite people, clean and spacious rooms, lovely area, delicious food. Highly recommended! Vfm

I went for afternoon tea for my nans birthday phoned up before going. Lady asked how many afternoon tea I said 3 then she asked how many people I said 4. Went there and only 1 afternoon tray came out very confusing because I would of thought it be more then 1 tray brought out for the 4 of us as the price of it is very expensive for what it is. I asked to speak to manager when it came out,two chefs came out very abruptly and I explained what I had ordered and they simply didn't want to hear anything what I had to say. Very confusing how many afternoon tea tray come out and for how many people obviously they don't communicate properly, not explained very well Chef also was swearing at me as he walked back in. Very disappointing service.

Booked afternoon tea for 14. Haywards delivered an amazing service, all staff were great. The tea was lovely, something for everyone.

I went for dinner with friends on a Thursday. The restaurant was really comfortable. Some places are so loud, but Haywards was just the right balance of busy enough to feel as if e had gone 'out out', without being overwhelming and leaving me shouting to be heard, as happened in another place recently. The cocktail to start was excellent. I shall definitely be returning. The meal was very reasonable price, came promptly and all at once. The attention to detail was what had made my friend recommend this place, which is a gem.

Stayed here last night , first impressions , very nice , parking they only got 7 spaces plus a disabled one ,hotel was very clean ? And staff were lovely and polite and also very helpful, the down sides , the room was very small , and cold ! No extra blanket in the room and no heating available until the morning when you wake up so it was very cold last night , the shower gel never worked , and a lovely tissue box with no tissues in it ? The mirror had no light to do hair and make up , we also had only 1 bath towel between us , I got another one with no problem , from the lovely staff , the other thing I found strange was the bar only opened until 6pm when everyone was coming down , to go out , only to be told the bar had shut ? The breakfast was lovely, would I stay again ? Yes if they sort the tweeks out. ! I gave 4 greens , for the staff they make this place , thanks again Haywards at the grasmere .

Really nice bar and restaurant, staff are friendly and welcoming. I went for the roast beef, oh my goodness, incredible tender and seasoned well, plus I had a good portion as well. Yorkshire pudding was booked perfectly and wasn't overdone. Gravy was nice but I felt there could have been a bit more. The veg was maple roasted carrots, swede l, kale , cabbage and parsnips. All very tasty. My special mention of the week goes to the Roast potatoes, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. It was seasoned really well. The side of crackling was very tasty as well. Strongly recommend this place, is reasonably priced as well.

The roast dinner at Haywards was delicious and really flawless. Everything was so full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, I have given Haywards 4 stars as when we arrived, we waited 15 minutes and then had to get up and ask the waitress to come and take our order as we had been forgotten about. Then after our food had arrived, my partner needed another drink and no one was looking our way or paying attention, so he went without. Further to this, we had to ask for the bill twice. We understood that it was busy, but felt ignored as a table in the corner. This was a shame. Having said this, we would return to Haywards at the Grasmere as the food was excellent.

Great restaurant! We've been many times as it's local to family and it never disappoints! I particularly like the fact it caters extremely well for gluten free and vegetarian customers. Recommended!

We had a wonderful meal on Mother's day, it was also 2 family Birthdays & the staff made us feel very welcome & the food was amazing! We had 3 courses & each one was excellent! We will definitely be back.

Had lunch with two friends Thursday 29th Feb ‘24 nice atmosphere but food disappointing. First impressions looked lovely (two of us had chicken kiev the other scrambled egg with salmon). Huge chicken breast but had very thick overcooked breadcrumb coating. When cut open there was no garlic or moistness. The sourdough toast with the egg dish was hard and burnt asked for bread and butter to be able to finish meal.

Visited on Friday the 23rd for lunch as we were given a voucher for Christmas, was not disappointed far from it we were met by friendly staff on arrival and we were shown to our table, the restaurant was decorated to a high modern standard. The waitress then brought over water and the menu and said i will come back when you are ready to order, after looking at the very reasonable priced menu with quite a choice of meals we both decided on the Sirloin steak and chips, the two young waitresses could not have been more help full when they took our order, a short while later the meals arrived i can not fault the meals the steak was cooked to perfection exactly as we asked for and the chips were superb. This is a restaurant we will certainly be returning to and have already recommended to several of our friends and family. Thank you to all your staff from service to the chef for a pleasant dining experience

Excellent food, returning for the first time since menu refresh and well worth the visit. All staff very attentive and personable. Will certainly return

We had a very pleasant stay here. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and check in and out was efficient. The rooms are above the bar service area but we couldn’t hear much noise at all when we were in the room. The room was clean, with tea and coffee provisions available. It was a bit dated overall and the electric power shower was not that powerful, but this would not put me off coming back again. The breakfast was also very reasonable and tasty!

It's truly the best Sunday lunch around! 😋

I booked Haywards for a baby shower and they were excellent from start to finish. The booking was easy and they offered us a private room which was perfect. They were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The afternoon which I’m not usually a fan of, was very good. Lots of savoury options which made for a nice change! Overall was great and would definitely return.

Stunning food and a lovely atmosphere. Haywards never disappoints!! Best roast around, stunning steaks and gorgeous tapas. Highly recommend!!

We have visited Haywards several times and never been disappointed. The standard of the food is very high and beautifully presented. The menu changes regularly and is always interesting. Much better than a lot of the restaurants in nearby Bath.

My friend and I had a gorgeous meal at Haywards last evening. The food was very good and different from the usual Christmas food offered in many places. We had duck and it was just delicious. There was an option to add side dishes which we didn't choose as the main meal was more than adequate for us. Good choices of dessert and overall a great meal. Would certainly make a return visit.

Nice restaurant with good quality food. Good service.

We had a Christmas lunch for 15. Same high quality dishes and service as always. We'll be back next year!

The Afternoon tea is a real treat, everything is delicious and just a little bit different from the rest. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and the staff are excellent. No rush at all and a very relaxing place to enjoy good food. forgot to take a photo as so busy enjoying ourselves!

Moan; Mattress in room 20 beyond expired. Apart from; The hosts are lovely. Breakfast is to be looked forward to. Parking is excellent. Hygiene is super. Thank you for taking care 👍

Pros: Rooms were clean, and the breakfast was very good Cons: Preference was a quiet room but I was given a room on the noisy roadside (which is a constant busy road), had to use ear plugs. Shower cubicle very small with very little water. Mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. Could have benefited logistically with some better placed sockets to bed, overall the price did not feel worth the stay. Room was also very hot, but windows couldn’t be opened due to the noise.

Heard good things about Haywards at The Grasmere so visited with a friend. We weren't disappointed.

Had an afternoon tea, food was excellent.

Immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Quality food at reasonable prices. Great for a special treat, recommend the raspberry daiquiri!!

The rooms were large and had a spacious en suite. Lots of plugs to charge and in room kettle with lots of tea and cream in the hallway. The breakfast is amazing and quite filling. Well worth the stay and eat.

Food is amazing. The menu changes fairly regularly, and everything on the menu is perfect for any foodies! The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Service is great and they give you the ideal amount of time between courses, and you never feel rushed. Not only is it the best food in Keynsham, one of the top places to eat in Banes. Still such a hidden gem that many people don’t know of the restaurant’s existence.

We came here for a 60th birthday party with about 20 people. The staff were very accommodating and knowledgable of the menu. A couple of us ordered a roast dinner…some had a mix, a few had beef and a few had pork. Each one looked delightful. Some people had burgers which looked extra juicy and the fries were crispy in texture. I wish I took some photos. I’d definitely recommend this place for a lovely Sunday lunch with the family.

Fairly small rooms and tiny bathrooms and showers. Rude Manager Joel who could not care less for the comfort of his "guests". Would never stay there again.

Excellent food!!!! 15/10, afternoon tea is THE BEST! As are their Sunday roasts, highly recommended 👌

A friend and I came for an afternoon tea and were not disappointed! The food was fantastic, the surroundings lovely and the staff were fabulous. The array of savoury and sweet food in the afternoon tea was excellent. I would definitely visit here again, I just need to find multiple good excuses.

We attended a family party and it was an afternoon tea. The food was really nice lots of different things which were all good quality. There was ample tea and coffee and drinks from the bar were good. All in all a pleasant experience

Excellent Sunday lunch , why all sourced locally do not be fooled by Sunday roasts where the meat arrives cooked and sealed in polythene it is NOT the real thing , the better restaurants like the Grasmere will last forever keep it going Hooray!!

Delicious Sunday Lunch would definitely recommend. Look forward to a return visit soon, thank you Hayward’s attentive staff.

Definitely seek this place out if you’re a coeliac - or indeed any type of human. Great place, wide choice for different dietary requirements, and food was yum. Not too expensive either. Thumbs up!

Lovely surroundings with great atmosphere..Something a little different than go to a normal mainstream eating experience. No pressure you can relax and enjoy all that Hayward’s has to offer.

We met for afternoon tea as a bit of a reunion and had a really lovely time. The food was lovely and we were not rushed to leave (which was good as we had a lot to catch up on!!) The hot drinks were topped...

Such a little pot of gold in Keynsham this place. Food has never been anything less than excellent. Feels like fine dining in a bit city but in our little suburb :)

Had an a wonderful afternoon tea here. A mix of sandwiches and hot snacks and 5 desserts! Brilliant. Also managed to sneak in a payment over the phone from my fiancé. Fantastic service too.

Went today for a Sunday Roast. What a find! Lovely premises, garden and staff. The food was amazing, can't fault anything! Definitely recommend.

First visit post March lockdown and the quality of food, ambience and menu is even better then we remember. Generous portions of juicy roast turkey and gammon, plus excellent fish option (cod with crab risotto ball) perfectly cooked, tasty and filling. Highly recommended.

Having had a couple of outstanding roasts here we couldn’t resist their Friday night takeaway menu. Wow!! The jerk burger was very special, ridiculously tasty. My wife’s ribs were very generous, nothing spare about them at all! The Mississippi mud pie to finish was so...

Just managed to get in before lockdown for my daughter in laws 30th birthday celebration meal. Everyone commented on how lovely their meals were. I had a starter and a main course and both were superb. We will certainly go again after lockdown.
