Marlborough Tavern in Bath and North East Somerset

Amazing place.. definitely not cheap but absolutely worth it. Good quality , easy going staff, quick in service and lovely fireplace plus friendly for our dogs..what next to ask for ?

Ideal para grupos de amigos. Guinness muy agradable y una buena carta de vinos. Nos fuimos muy contentos y llenos! Servicio también muy bueno y amable.

Un buen lugar fuera de los caminos trillados, pero definitivamente vale la pena visitar. Muy buenas comidas, buena elección de comida y bebidas. El personal era un poco lento a pesar de que no había mucha gente dentro. Pero el filete definitivamente valió la pena esperar.

We had a fantastic and impromptu Sunday roast today. We didn't book but there were plenty of outside tables. The food was great and good service. Dog friendly too. The only area for improvement we felt was the Chef's Special Bloody Mary. It was pretty bad especially for £10! Perhaps poor quality tomato juice used? We mentioned it to the staff so fingers crossed it can be improved

Best Sunday lunch i have had in a long while. We were recommended by a friend and it was fantastic. Great traditional pub with amazing food. A hidden gem.

Consistente y confiable, gran local, excelente comida, vino bien surtido bar y personal atento. Por lo general, reservar para los huéspedes que visitan y nunca decepciona

Exceptional service with very tasty food. Would recommend the fish and chips.

This visit was much better service than my first. My hanging steak was divine with a gravy like peppercorn sauce!

The food portions were tiny for the price. The sides were also very small. Kids meals weren’t very different in size than mains. The food was good and service was great but portions were terrible. Could also add nutrition info to menu.

Great roast & friendly, attentive service.

This pub is right up my street. Really well put together food, attentive yet casual service and really welcoming pub. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday, which happens to be in Valentine’s Day! There was a set menu on which was great value, and you could order off either menu. It’s nice when Venues don’t force you to have the set menus for a celebration day. The calamari was wonderfully seasoned and tender. The chips were banging pub chips. We could have quite easily sat there all day, but sadly had a train to catch. Thank you!

Proper pub, Sunday roast was delicious. And yes it was busy and so you go to the bar and ask for the bill job done, easy.

Great pub in the heart of Bath. The wine is expensive and £6,20 for non alcoholic Guinness is terrible! The food is great, shame the plates were cold though!

Food lovely, but not served hot. Lobster bisque missing from my Salmon dish. Hangar steaks on small side. Good prompt service.

A proper roast. Excellent. Staff very friendly and a great atmosphere.

Sunday roast was amazing. Service was slow but it was fine

Great meal. Recommend the venison burger, wow.

Very friendly and efficient service followed by very well priced wine, which quenched our thirst! We shared a starter, which had us ravenous for our main course as it was so scrumptious! The mains were generous portions of hearty food, which had us fulfilled on a cold winter day. Our only regret is not coming here sooner!

As a regular turist this a nice and warm place. Food is always good and service is familiar. This is a place we will visit again and again.

Nice English pub. The draft beers are excellent. The ones on tap are banal

Food was amazing, great service great vibes

Food was just ok, a little disappointing for a pub. Service was fine. Wouldn’t rush back.

Lugar encantador, el personal estaba muy ocupado pero buen servicio. Busqué en Google el mejor asado de domingo en Bath y este salió como # 1. La comida era buena aparte de ser tibia.

Our first visit & it was fantastic. Great friendly staff & a warm welcome. The interior is great & comfortable The food was really nice & the risotto was excellent. The service was quick & we didn't wait long. We will definitely be back to try the Sunday roast.

Very rude and unaccommodating staff. Left after our appetizers were served and went to a different pub close by, and had a much better experience. And don’t expect a fireplace, even when it’s freezing outside.

We where celebrating my daughters birthday and where very pleased with our choice. The food was delicious, we had starter main and pudding. The staff where attentive and very pleasant. We sat near the fire, for my elderly mum and the atmosphere was warming.well done to the chef and servers. Will come again

Un fantástico hallazgo auténtico, escondido lejos del centro de Bath, cerca de la media luna real. Servicio impecable, comida deliciosa detrás de la explicación. Tres platos por el mismo precio que dos platos en italiano mediocre la noche anterior en el centro. Su personal es experto, cortés y profesional, un verdadero mérito para usted. ¡No hay fotos del pudín ya que se comió demasiado rápido!

Das Essen war sehr gut, der Service nicht besonders freundlich. Es hat ziemlich gedauert, bis wir bestellen durften, danach ging es etwas besser mit dem Service. Das Ambiente ist authentisch. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist insgesamt gut

The food was very good, the service wasn't particularly friendly. It took quite some time before we were allowed to order, but after that the service improved a bit. The atmosphere is authentic. Overall, the price-performance ratio is good

Our local pub. Its first class. Staff are wonderful. Food delicious. Always great.

Nice pub with decent menu. Lovely food. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Lacked a bit of atmosphere/character

We consider it our "local". Staff, always friendly and attentive. Food as always excellent. Mulled wine particularly nice. Bar stools and excellent addition 👍.

A good option out from the main town, food was decent. Friendly staff, but let down by very limited beer selection and a beer that tastes like the pipes need a clean.

Nice setting, great garden which is a fabulous sun trap.

Hemos tenido ocasión durante la semana pasada de visitar este delicioso gastropub dos veces (debido a nuestra renovación de la cocina). No haber estado antes no estábamos seguros de qué esperar en general. En ambas ocasiones nos recibió un personal encantador y nos dieron una mesa agradable cerca del bar (ahora vamos a la mesa!). La comida era muy buena con calidad consistente y el vino estaba muy bien valorado, lo que es inusual en Bath. Este encantador lugar es ahora nuestro favorito en Bath y nos preguntamos por qué no hemos visitado antes!

Encantador día de otoño caminando a casa desde el centro de la ciudad de Bath, paramos para tomar una copa y un almuerzo ligero en el jardín. Una trampa de sol tan grande que fue encantador sentarse afuera. Como siempre buena comida y bebidas - saben cómo mantener sus cervezas! Para colmo nos sirvió Callum cuya gran personalidad añadió un destello a todo el evento.

Hola solíamos ser lugareños aquí, ya que vivimos cerca .. hemos estado en algunas de sus noches de carne y almuerzos y desayunos de domingo. Fuimos allí la última vez por tragos tempranos para mis parejas tragos de cumpleaños 69 solo nosotros dos. .. una camarera joven. . ella solo parecía de 16 años nos dijo que bebiéramos y nos fuéramos sin ninguna explicación. . tal vez porque estábamos fumando 🚬 allí fuera del espacio. . no hay reglas en contra de eso? Y no hay señales. . permiten perros y probablemente bebés que gritan también pero nada normal para los adultos. . nunca les dará la hora del día de nuevo a menos que cambien sus pijamas. . políticas lamentables. . Lástima .. era un buen lugar para ir después de una ronda de ⛳ golf enfrente, pero en nuestra opinión demasiado caro de todos modos.

Always a good local place for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Super friendly staff, good food, swift, good wine selection, average prices for the area. A little out of town but good if you are near the Royal Crescent. About 3 mins walk. Suggest you try out the 'Park Golf' opposite too.

My friend & I visited for Sunday Lunch. Both had Roast Chicken followed by Sticky Toffee pudding, all washed down with a lovely sparkling rose Prosecco. Everything was delicious. Staff very friendly. Would highly recommend. (Minor point, I would have preferred not to have the gravy poured over the lovely crispy roast potatoes as it defeats the object)

Great local tavern right near the Royal Crescent! We dined there twice and food as well as beer/cider options were great! Gets pretty busy in the evenings. Would definitely visit again!

Spectacular, and very accomodating!

This is a super-friendly Gastro- pub. We visited last Wednesday evening on the off-chance and Callum, behind the bar, welcomed us like long-lost friends, not the strangers we were. He found us the last available table, where I enjoyed a classic cod and chips while Mrs M had an inspired monkfish dish. We’re back for Sunday roast today. Thanks for great service Callum!

Great location, nice atmosphere, outside space is great. Recommend.

Everything good,,if roast beef dinner could have had a bit more seasoning, for taste,you know, how your mum used to cook them,anyway we enjoyed it

Lovely pub at a lovely location. Been there many times, both the inside and outside areas are quite cosy. Good customer service, the food is OK, I wouldn't say it's top notch for similar pubs, but the lovely atmosphere & staff make up for it.

Excellent Sunday Roast. Efficient service, reasonably priced and good drinks options. Highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding!

Good food, friendly staff. Lovely outside.

Great find, food was amazing, definely recommend

Booked a table for dinner with family who were visiting. Some of our group arrived early to feed their baby ahead of the meal, an hour into the meal we were told the table was needed back for another booking - staff were very rude and wouldn't allow us to order a second drink as they wanted the table back for another group. The Bath Pub Company used to be great - since St Austell have been involved they have really gone down hill. If you want a good gastro pub in this part of town I'd try the Chequers or even Beckford Canteen instead.

Was told about this place from our host at a guest house and this place did not disappoint! Sunday roast was delicious and even made room for dinner (learned about the Eton Mess - wow!).

Very welcoming pub with good food. And their beer garden is very pleasant for lunch with the family.

Me & my partner came on 11/08/24 for my birthday meal. The tavern was very lovely and we were offered the choice to sit outside. Plenty of seating inside and outside, both great options for s really nice and hot sunny day. As we were given the menus, we were offered some table water immediately, which was brilliant. However, we were not asked if we would like any other drinks to start with, which would usually happen in any pub after the menus are given to us, and we would usually expect. Moreover, we did wait a while before being served, at least 15 minutes. On the other hand, the service was lovely once the staff arrived to our table to take our orders. (If you didn’t fancy a roast, there are other lovely options on the menu including sharing and starters) The food was given to us quickly and was presented very well. I had the roast chicken, which included bread sauce, stuffing, roast potatoes, veg & red wine gravy (there was a good variety of roasts on the menu, including a vegan option). The roast was delicious! Lovely buttery carrots, crispy roast potatoes, and the bone-on chicken was very tasty and juicy - best chicken I’ve had in a while! Surprised to have a giant yorkshire pudding - even that was very delicious! The dessert menus were given to us quickly, but staff were still slow in taking our dessert orders. Nonetheless, the desserts were - likewise - delicious! The salted caramel ice cream matched perfectly with the warm chocolate brownie. In the end, we did have to get up and ask for the bill at the bar because we waited another 15 minutes (with our empty plates) to be served. Overall, the food was very lovely and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Unfortunately, because of the slow service, I did have to knock a star down. Nonetheless, we would still come here again!

Very nice and tasty tavern in bath. I enjoyed a lot the fish and chips. Regular price and very kind staff.

We came here as a family (2 adults, 3 kids) for a Sunday lunch. The kids menu was great, the place is buggy friendly and plenty of space for a highchair. Sunday menu was also great, good choices, good wine list. Food was served quickly and was outstanding (the pork belly was incredible) and the service we received was superb. Everyone left very full and happy! We'll be returning. Thank you!

Cute place with excellent service

Great place for a Sunday roast.

A lovely birthday lunch, sitting in their recently refurbished outside seating area. Excellent, friendly service. The food was good, the presentation a bit lacking, all piled onto the plate, as you would plate it up at home. If that could be worked on, 5*.

God mad og venlig betjening. Fine omgivelser med mulighed for at sidde enten inde eller ude. Mange valgmuligheder på menukortet, uden at det går ud over kvaliteten af maden.

Omg Fantastic best pub ever great food had the steak and lovely nz sauvignon our waitress Emelia was amazing. If in bath visit here

Delicious food, great service and a lovely beautiful building. Little garden round the side too which was nice when the sun came out.

We enjoyed our Sunday roast lunch here. I had the beef roast and my wife had the sweet potato Wellington. The food was delicious and plentiful. The roast beef was cooked perfectly and very tender. For Sunday roast the pub had a cozy atmosphere. The wait staff was relaxed but attentive.

Who said fish and chips aren't delicious in England? This is where you can taste the best fish and chips in the UK ♡ The other recommended menu items were also delicious and I would like to thank Allie for serving us so kindly. Thank you!

Had a wonderful evening here. We were looked after by Callum, an absolute professional

It suited us fine for what we needed. Lovely wooden tables, beautiful bar area. A bit pricey, £6.50 for a Guinness.

My mom and I came here for dinner on Sunday. Her roast beef was extremely overcooked and was so hard to cut and chew. My fish and chips was a bit better. The fish was fresh but the chips could’ve been better. Great atmosphere: it has a cozy vibe and cute decoration. However, the service was SLOW. VERY SLOW. We asked for a bill and had to sit there to wait for a while.

Great sunday roast. Friendly staff.

Traditional English pub with a great modern restaurant. Attentive service, and a paved courtyard for outdoor drinking.

Good food and a good atmosphere The Sunday Roast is really good and tasty!

Whole menu is great and atmosphere. If you're going for sunday lunch, make sure to book!

Nice building with outdoor garden, decent food, lacklustre service, staff working today daytime seemed uninterested. A highlight was the electric bear lager though. Wouldn't rush back.

Went for Sunday roast . It was excellent. As usual in the UK. Make sure you book a table

Good food and nice garden, service is slow and disorganized. Expensive for a tavern

Came here for a drink in the sun, & stayed for dinner. Excellent modern bar, with smart, west facing garden, which catches the sun all afternoon til it sets. It’s not cheap, but the drinks & food menus are comprehensive & tasty, with lots of delicious small plates (the veggie bhaji was on point) , as well as a great choice of mains, & a good selection for vegetarians, plus vegan options. Note: there is a no smoking policy throughout the bar & restaurant-INCLUDING the garden. Just pop outside to the pavement. Dogs are welcome.

We just grabbed some pints here after a long day of walking the town. The garden/patio in the back has a great atmosphere.

Nice atmospheres, food is good but needs salt and more spices. Prices don't match average service.

We went for the Sunday roast and could honestly happily drown in that red wine gravy. Anything you dunked into it tasted ten times better. The pork belly roast was very tender and tasty. The salt and pepper squid and bruschetta were both tasty, and sized as an individual appetizer. The main issue is that everything that wasn't the gravy lacked seasoning. While it's more understandable for the roast and sides served with the roast (Yorkshire pudding, seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes) since it's expected that you'd dunk it in the gravy, other items/additional sides also lacked seasoning. The Yorkshire pudding and fries both could have used a bit more salt and the "artisanal" breads were very dry. Additionally, service from our primary server was not very attentive, although other staff really tried to make up for it.

One chicken one beef, please. We came at 4:30 so there is a worry that the roasts reduce in quality as the day gets on. Not here, two very satisfied customers. Would come again.

Very nice food and the staff very attentive.

The pints taste incredibly good here. Excellent food. Leave room for the sticky treacle toffee pudding.

4 years ago. Friendly pub with quick service and great beers. Today: I just paid £6.90 for a pint of Moretti. Popped in for a couple of pints (should be about 10-11 total). Walked out after 1. Not a win-win. Sad. Will remove it from my Bath guests recommended now.

Staff really helpful Highly recommend Dog friendly

Great food Great value Fabulous staff

The food was fantastic. A really impressive range of vegetarian dishes. I miss roast dinners since giving up meat but was delighted to find a vegetarian wellington on the menu. I was not disappointed. No room for pudding but we shared the bruschetta & onion bhaji. I’d recommend both. Service was great until the end when we were trying to pay the bill. I’d thoroughly recommend this gem of a gastro pub.

A little bit underwhelming based on the reviews I’ve seen before…service pretty slow but with a smile…food quite average pub food for a gastropub…

As always, excellent food and service. Had the belly of pork and enjoyed very much.

We enjoyed our meal here. The staff were great and food was tasty. I enjoyed the hanger steak.

Wonderful Sunday roast dinner. Really lovely, tasty, hot roast beef. My husband had roast pork and we had a wonderful evening in this friendly pub. The puddings were fab too, one of the best brownies with ice cream I’ve ever had-their chef knows what their doing here! Great hospitality, friendly staff. Restaurant is in a lovely setting and tables are not all crowded in together for once. A thoroughly good meal and a great find to our wknd away in Bath.

Visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch whilst staying in Bath. The team were very welcoming and ensured that we were seated as soon as we arrived. Even moving things around as we were a little earlier than planned. Food was served very quickly and was good. Nice beers and good Sunday lunch

Bit disappointed last night the Onion Bhaji was slightly over cooked and very dark and the hanger steak was tough. Lovely ambience but unfortunately we had a large table next to us that were so loud we could not hear what we were saying.

I thought the food here was fab. Good choices on the menu and a great winelist. We had a lovely time. The staff were friendly, but not intrusive.

Always love going to the MT, whether for food or just drinks

A great find! We specifically wanted a sunday roast. Having been slightly disappointed to be told that they had run out of our desired pork, we placed our orders. The wonderful gentleman then came back to say that he had managed to secure us the last 2 roast porks if we still wanted them! We were delighted. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely evening, the food was amazing and service very attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening !

Friendly staff and lovely food. Good portion sizes.

One of my favourite places to eat, staff are always so lovely and tonight Jordan served us and was just a delight. Food was gorgeous, atmosphere was lovely and dog friendly too. Food is always very quick. All the meals I’ve had are delightful, love all the starters too. Lovely cosy British pub. 10/10

Not welcoming at all! Only low point of a rather enjoyable trip to Bath.

I went to the steak night with my girlfriend and enjoyed everything. Great food and drink with friendly faces serving too. I’d recommend the steak night if you’re looking for a great steak for a great price.

A hidden gem. Lovely atmosphere. Best fish and chips I’ve had in a while along with homemade crushed peas- the best I’ve ever tasted! Husband’s steak had a delicious flavour but was slightly chewy. Steak deal was excellent value. Five stars!

Everyone at the Marlborough is so welcoming and the food is truly delicious. Nothing over the top but so good!! Also the Sticky Toffee Pudding is SO good.
