The Angelfish in Bath and North East Somerset

Stumbled across this fab cafe whilst walking along the canal from Limpley Stoke. It has fully embedded gluten free options which is a rare find. Apparently they have a gf food stall at the Bath Christmas market. Banana, chocolate and walnut cafe with a coffee was great. Marshfield ice creams there too. Full meals served too.

Cakes fantastic but the lunches were variable and expensive for what you got. Fish goujons lacked fish at £14 very disappointed. Location is very good. Wished we had read reviews first.

Very disappointing visit, having read all the recent great reviews, we were looking forward to the visit We had tea and bacon sandwiches. At £7.95 for each sandwich, we were expecting a lovely treat, the bread was cheap, pre-sliced bread, no butter, no sauce, none offered and none to be seen. The bacon was nice and crisp but with the cruddy bread and no butter or sauce, the whole thing was dry and unappetising. I was also charged £2.75 for a single black earl grey mug of tea. The whole thing was very over priced and totally underwhelming. Very disappointed.

Nice little cafe overlooking the canal. Friendly service, fresh salads and really good baguette sandwiches. Good vegetarian selection and delicious-looking cakes.

A mixed bag. My partner's chicken chorizo salad was fine, but my fish goujons and chips largely lacked an ingredient...fish. Both chips and goujons were over fried, not such a problem for the chips, but the goujons were hard, and the fish appeared absent from all but one of them.

Consideration should be given to a lot of these reviews being outdated. I think this is a decent cafe. Stopped here for ice cream for the kids after a long canalside walk, and to be use the cafes very clean toilets. All the food that went past us to other tables looked well presented, lots of seating upstairs, downstairs and outside tables being regularly cleaned and cleared. Cakes, pasties and pastries all in offer as well as sandwiches etc, though we didn't have any hot drinks there was plenty to choose from.The cafe thrives on being in a unique spot and is a sight for sore eyes and feet after a long day, and while I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, i don't think it was overly expensive and is a joy to visit.

Fabulous setting for lunch and snacks where you can dine in right next to the Somerset Coal Canal and a short distance from the Dundas Aqueduct. Staff are friendly and efficient. Food was tasty and nicely presented. All in all good value for money. Had simple lunch, homemade beef burger with all the trimmings and my wife had a chicken burger. Food was of high quality with each burger served in a sourdough bun. Thanks Angelfish staff for making our short stay some memorable. Ice cream, cakes and pasties look very tasty too but just too much choice for one visit. We will be back. Highly recommend for snacks and lunch.

We visited on a busy bank holiday weekend. The staff were all friendly and good natured despite the long queues. Food arrived quicker than we anticipated. Good sized portions and tasty. Huge cakes and ice creams and good coffee. Thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity. We will return!

My wife and I stopped here on our way back from Bath. I could not fault the food at all. Nice coffee, hot chocolate and apricot flapjack. However l feel that customer service could be improved. The manageress or owner seemed under pressure as it was quite busy. We had our food and drinks upstairs and as it was busy decided to be helpful and take our tray back downstairs so the table would be free for other people. As there was nowhere to put the tray I put it on top of another tray which was on top of a highchair. The manageress then came over and gave me a 'look' to which I said there was nowhere to put the tray. She said 'well it would easily be knocked off of there Sir' and walked away. I was only trying to be helpful. I don't like to mention mental health but as someone who sufferers from anxiety and depression this incident is still playing on my mind 48 hours later. If there is a next time I will leave my tray on the table.

Nice cafe at the end of the small restored part of Sumerset Coal Canal. We only stopped for a rest and some sweets . Nice ice cream. Friendly staff and clean toilets.

Atmosphere: 8/10 Canal area is tranquil and amicable, beautiful on a warm sunny day Service: 4/10 Food was slow to arrive Value: 2/10 One sausage baguette with 3 sausages and a slice of bread cost £7 Food Quality: 5/10 The price stung but luckily the food itself was no mosquito. However, it was mediocre at best Food Variety: 6/10 Plenty of gluten-free and celiac as well as vegetarian Total: 25/50

Stopped here with a walking group. The cakes were lovely but the latte was terrible....more like steamed milk with no hint of coffee. Such a shame.

We live locally and have driven past this place so many times, so decided to come and try it out. We popped in for a coffee and a bit of cake and it was superb. Staff are very friendly and polite, the service was quick and efficient. Lovely place to sit by the canal. The walk is nice to the aqueduct and isn’t too far. Will definitely come back.

When I stumbled upon Angelfish online, I thought it would be the kind of place that would only be safe for coffee. They actually have exemplary gluten free practices, several options and some really tasty cakes. Full 3* review at coeliacwellNES.com. At our last visit the options and coeliac enthusiasm were a bit pared down, but we look forward to coming back and rating the food options soon.

My partner and I called in here recently for lunch. We had the fish goujons & chips and the halloumi salad. I was surprised at the amount of fish and the batter coating was really nice. There is car parking next to the restaurant at a reasonable price and there are nice walks along the canal and the Dundas Aqueduct to help burn off the calories should you need to.

My daughter and I went for a little post Christmas drive/walk and ended up at this little gem of a place. We had some amazing home cooked chips and Cornish pasties with an amazing hot chocolate, what a lovely little place in a beautiful area. 😁

Parking (pay and display) can be difficult during busy periods.Relaxing rural canal location, good for walks and cycling.Visited for lunch - of fish and chips.Fish - piping hot, thick hard, oily batter. It was described as cod but bland/tasteless.Chips - rubbery, cold/lukewarm.Espresso - weak, watery.Overpriced and overrated establishment.

我們一行七人準備到巴斯旅遊，途經這間餐廳，就到這用餐了。餐廳附近有停車場十分方便。食物都是即叫即做的，都做得很好，而且比市中心的餐廳還要好。做好之後便有人大叫你的訂餐編號。但餐廳的清潔情況仍有待改善。

The food was over priced for what you get, I ordered a Panini and got a toasted Sandwich, my mother got a Cheese pasty that was inedible. Also the waitress wasn’t the friendliest either! It’s a pity as it’s such a beautiful location.

we had lunch here today and you can forget your'e right next to the busy A36!easy menu and enough choice for lunch. baguettes all round with various fillings. one tuna, one steak and one sausage and egg ( which was the only let down, but still devoured.) service was in good time especially as they were quite busy. ( we'd visited a pub just up the road where the wait for food was 45mins, so decided not to wait and come here instead+ their menu appeared poor IMHO) it was nice to chat and people watch and admire dogs- we are thinking of getting one - and kept saying right size, as people walked past- i bet they wondered what we were talking about!!nice pleasant hour sat by the canal to have your lunch by...have been before, will go again....

Vine aquí con mi hija porque no había estado aquí antes. La comida era increible! Elegí los especiales del menú, que eran una deliciosa paté de caballa con pan de ajo y salsa Verde para empezar, y un macarrones de queso, puerro, calabacín y trufa para el plato principal. Parte de la comida más fresca que he comido en un restaurante por un tiempo, ¡sin duda volveré la próxima semana!

Fui a dar una vuelta en automóvil y me encontré con un pequeño y bonito café escondido en una hermosa y tranquila ubicación, tenía hambre, así que pensé en probarlo. Eché un vistazo al menú. No había nada que me apeteciera. Entonces vi que tenían una tabla de especialidades, así que ordené. Un pollo de mantequilla con puré de mantequilla y verduras. La comida llegó y el precio de la porción era muy generoso. Los niños menores de 10 años estaban muy sabrosos, sin duda volverán. La comida estuvo excelente.

Parado el lunes por la tarde para ver el acueducto, la cafetería / restaurante está a solo unos minutos caminando. El personal, madre e hija, son muy amables. Tenía el mejor pastel de zanahoria, te recomiendo que lo pruebes! ¡El resto del menú nos ha inspirado para hacer una visita de regreso!

En nuestro camino de regreso a Axminster de Gales, decidimos ir a campo traviesa en busca de un pub para el almuerzo. Cerca de Bath vimos las señales del canal y la cafetería. Por ahora era después de las 14. 00 y teníamos hambre así que decidimos investigar. Qué pequeña joya al lado del canal. Tuvimos una maravillosa ensalada de pollo dentro y luego un delicioso pastel y un café afuera junto al canal.

Realmente disfrutamos de la comida, nuestro grupo de seis se sentó al sol y tenía una selección del menú que incluía una ensalada de pollo tibia, ensalada griega, pescado y papas fritas, un sándwich club de pollo y el pan plano de falafel. Para terminar, probé el pastel de zanahoria, definitivamente lo recomendaría. Aunque estaba lleno, valió la pena la espera, el servicio amable y la comida se veía y estaba buenísimo.

Habíamos pedido una taza de té, una pequeña coca cola, una rebanada de café y pastel de nueces, un pastel de té y unas galletas para nuestro perro.El piso y ninguna de las mesas habían sido limpiados, así que amablemente pidió una servilleta. En lugar de disculparse, el miembro del personal literalmente empujó la servilleta en la bandeja y se alejó altivamente. Después de haber cargado un 8 más, el pastel de café y nueces estaba demasiado seco / posiblemente rancio y el pastel de té llegó medio quemado y sin el coque. "Te has olvidado de la coca," dije. Al parecer, el coque no se había incluido en el precio a pesar de pagar más de 8 inicialmente. Peor aún, el lado de la mesa donde estábamos sentados tenía astillas y mi novia tuvo la desgracia de que le hubieran atrapado uno de sus dedos. No volvería a ese vertedero de nuevo si fuera el último lugar para comer en la tierra.Evitar.

- great views -happy, friendly staff -very clean -we found a great range of fresh and tasty food, despite visiting in the off season. Can’t wait to return in spring/summer, when the climbing roses are out! Well done, and thank you! 😊

This place is a bit of a tourist trap, there aren't many other places nearby and it catches walkers, cyclist, families on a day out, people renting boats etc.

Tucked away at the end of a disused arm of the canal, just off the main road to Bath. Great breakfast in the sunshine, excellent service

Fue una comida increíble, el Angelfish fue fantástico. Fueron realmente serviciales de mi almuerzo de aniversario, de principio a fin, el servicio y la comida era excelente y una ubicación preciosa del lado del canal para arrancar. La comida no podría haber sido más fresca y el ambiente era genial. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que busque un excelente lugar para almorzar.

Have been here a few times and have had enjoyed great fresh food each time. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the restaurant is in a lovely location. Would highly recommend

We had to queue to order, no tap water was easily available on a very hot day, food took 40 minutes to arrive and was barely adequate. Don’t go there

My husband, baby and I rode bikes along the river, and this was our destination. It was perfect! The kitchen staff was pretty far behind, so food took 30 mins, but they warned us of that before we ordered. The were happy enjoying the fresh air and beers, so we didn't mind. The food was good - nothing fancy, but tasty and the staff was friendly. They had a high chair for our baby and was a perfect family atmosphere. We highly recommend.

Menu had sufficient variety, ordered at counter and waited for a while for food, rather slow. Food portions were adequate, quality was excellent. The location is very relaxing, lots of shade and we could watch the boats and nature. We would still visit again.

A lovely place to watch a busy part of the canal. Good parking nearby and an excellent choice of good food for all day. great service and generous portions all at a most reasonable price.

HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!! My family and I often search for somewhere scenic with great food and we are very lucky to have found The Angelfish. The past few months we can’t stop coming here and today was the icing on the cake. The home made burgers were delicious, the ice cream (marsh field by the way) perfect for the weather and the staff beyond friendly. They go the extra mile particularly the young girl who was kind enough to give my family her time to talk today. I really felt strongly about writing a review so that other people may enjoy a lovely day watching the boats go by and leave with a very big smile!!

Recently visited The Angelfish cafe and had a superb meal before hiring bikes along the canal. Fresh and generous portions and friendly staff. Will be back.

A lovely spot by the side of the Avon canal, the Angelfish Cafe serves a great selection of food made from fresh and local ingredients. We chose a fresh salmon and Dill sandwich on whole granary bread. The sandwich came with a side salad. The sandwich was full of flavour and very fresh..

Visited the Angel fish cafe for a sandwich and coffee. The location is nice next to the canal and viaduct, lots to look at. A short walk to the Dundas aqueduct. Parking is free In the winter months but a small fee is required from April to October. The cafe has a good selection of snack but is quite small and depending on how many staff are working can be quite slow. The staff are helpful and pleasant. Recommend and I will be returning.

I am not one to come on here and slate an establishment - I prefer to leave a positive review where needed. However, we visited The Angelfish for a drink whilst staying in Bath for the weekend. I ordered a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallow and when I went to take a drink, noticed a black specimen on the top of the drink. When I dipped my finger amongst the marshmallows and took it off, to my disgust I realised it was what looked to be a mouse dropping. My partner took the drink, along with the specimen to the lady serving at the counter who simply took the mouse dropping off the saucer where I had wiped it and presumed the problem was solved - GROSS. My partner was obviously horrified and asked for a completely new one which she did provide along with an apology but I don't feel as though this problem was addressed in at all the correct way and I certainly wont be returning.

Bar/restaurante agradable al lado de un canal.

Paramos aquí para desayunar en paseo en bicicleta. El servicio es bueno pero un poco lento. Hay un gran número de mesas al aire libre, así como algunas mesas de interior. Elegimos roscas de desayuno que eran enormes. La próxima vez que se compre uno y compartir más que tienen una cada uno. Vinieron recién preparado y probado muy bien. El lugar tiene un inodoro y también puede alquilar barcos para navegar por el canal. Volveremos.

This cafe is in such a lovely location, really picturesque and perfectly set by the canal. Sadly the reality is that if you end up at this cafe its because there is nowhere else in walking distance. What really got us was the lack of consistancy in price. For example, a burger seems fair at £8, as does £2 for a bowl of chips but £7 for a jacket potato? Thats £3-4 quid off what you would expect, and then a flake for your ice cream at 30p is fair, but £2 for the tinest single scoop (and they were so stingy) is pushing it and £4 for 2 tiny scoops is just outright robbery

Had a cooked breakfast which was freshly cooked very tasty service was very quick ,great selection on menu

Antes de iniciar un paseo por el canal en Dundas acueducto, mi esposa, mi hija y yo decidimos comer algo en la cafetería péces ángel.

A un corto paseo de la cafetería de Dundas Acueducto pasado todos los barcos amarrados en el puerto deportivo del canal. Muy agradable sábado fuera en el sol. Todos teníamos una baguette bien llenos, se sirve con una ensalada de hojas de remolacha, agradable, con el mejor jamón talladas a mano que he tenido. Nos lavaron, baño con cerveza en botella a temperatura ambiente, no helada (nuestra petición).

Decisión de último minuto para tomar una comida ligera, resultó ser más de lo que esperaba. Tuve una comida sencilla de carne y de cebolla en una baguette y mi compañero tenía una porción de tarta. Los dos estábamos encantados con la amabilidad del personal, su servicio bastante rápido y la calidad de la comida. Nunca he tenido microleaves antes y han sido siempre escéptico sobre estas. Sin embargo, Fui tomado por sorpresa lo bien que encajaba en comida y creo que el chef conseguido el equilibrio justo.

¿Cómo puede ir hasta granos en tostadas? ! Lo pedí en blanco y marrón, que llegó en lo llevaron a sustituirlo. 5 minutos más tarde regresé, aparentemente ha sido superficial, ya que no tenían pan blanco - en 11. 30 de la mañana! No había mantequilla en el pan. Basura!

Pop in the last Sunday for lunch menu completely change no were near the lovely choices that has always been the high point of this lovely restaurant we are regular visit sports as we are locals I hope it. I hope it goes back

Para nosotros, es una parada ideal para café y pastel, hecho muchas veces. Las tortas son bastante buenas y bastante variado. No visualizar los precios, lo cual es una pena, pero la factura por dos tortas y dos bebidas es de alrededor de 10 libras....

We had lok expectations when we saw the place - a little cafe next to the canal. How wrong we were! The variety of food served was good - lots to chose from and when it came we were really surprised! Pleasantly so. The club sandwich was super - really tasty and well presented. The warm goat's cheese salad was lovely - not too goaty but super fresh. The ribs however, were amazing. Such a large plate and they were so BBQ and could have fed two. A wonderful surprise and although we did to try the cakes - they were those homemade ones which never disappoint. Good service for such a busy Sunday lunch !

We popped in here for hot chocolate and a piece of cake. This place always feels a bit different but friendly. The guys serving are helpful and the food is interesting and delicious.

Whether it's a cup of tea and cake, or a bite of lunch, this place is a perfect stop when out for a canal walk or cycle. The food is of high standard and everyone is friendly!

Ordered a ploughmans lunch there was enough food for evening meal as well. staff rushed off their feet but still had a friendly attitude towards the customers I felt so sorry for the amount of work they had to do in the hour I was there

A chilly but bright December morning brought us and the dog to this cafeteria by the old Somerset Coal Canal, a stones throw from the Dundas Aquaduct on the Kennet and Avon Canal. The immediate sight was of some hanging baskets that were well past their best. Take the things down. It detracts from the appearance of the place. We ordered coffees and I was happy with the interior of the place. Smart and modern. Looked clean. A good range of items on the menu too. Coffee was OK. We then walked along the canal towards Bathampton with the dog, and arrived back for lunch. This time we chose the sweet potato soup. Pretty expensive at £5.50 a bowl which included 2 small slices of French bread and butter. After a longish wait (20 minutes) it arrived and was hot, so a bonus I guess. We had to sit outside because of the dog, and the furniture was pretty good, but wiping the seats down at start of day would be a good customer service to provide. Most of the seats were pretty wet after the previous nights rainfall.

We stopped at the Angelfish on the way home from Bristol, we needed to stop for some breakfast. The decor was a little underwhelming, the toilets not in the cafe were cold but clean, the breakfast's themselves were I feel really expensive so my partner and I opted for breakfast baguettes of sausage and egg. Our eldest daughter wanted egg on toast, the reply we got was it wasn't on the menu and Sasha couldn't have it. I will say I found this a little inflexible, they offered beans on toast could they have not substituted the beans for an egg? We eventually found an alternative on the menu, when the breakfast's arrived, I felt our baguettes weren't fresh that day, our daughters rounds of toast were burnt, (see photo) we scraped the toast as we were on a tight schedule. Personally I think for the money my partner paid it just wasn't good enough and it seems the Angelfish is aimed at canal boat owners willing to pay premium prices because of it's location adjacent to the canal.

Hired a barge from Bath for the day and made it here for lunch, cancelled when we arrived . Very limited menu, cold amd damp.

I've looked in here before and wasn't impressed, but friends decided we were eating here, so that was it!The menu was amazing, quite a few different dishes and the salads were well presented. I had a hot baguette, my husband had a pancake with smoked salmon prawns and cream. the food was served quickly and the drinks were hot. the place is clean and tidy. the staff were friendly and approachable.For a small place to have a supply of soya milk was also impressive.

Called in here for a cup of tea and a tea cake after a lovely walk along the canal. It may well have been at the end of the day but if the staff are tired or fed up then they shouldn't be in the business. The young lady who served us had clearly had enough, the tea was okay but the toasted teacake was burnt. She must have known and couldn't be bothered to do another one. All the tables needed clearing, there was litter and weeds all over the ground and the tables were filthy. Not a good experience. This is a great location and could be really good. Just need to make an effort to smarten it up, serve properly cooked food and smile!

We had a delicious lunch served by very hard-working smiley staff. Food was great and prices very reasonable. Service was surprisingly quick given how busy they were. Big portions , fresh bread, colourful salads and very tasty cakes.

The slowest service imaginable. The confusion over trying to have a cream scone with a coffee was laughable. Eventually this was deemed acceptable but (and here is the punchline) they didn't have any cream anyway. The scone then nearly broke my knife if was so hard and stale. It was inedible. They changed it for a teacake. The staff are reasonably pleasant though.

Went here last Sunday with a large party of walkers. Had pre-ordered a mix of sandwiches, salads and hot food. Greeted by manager on arrival and food came almost immediately. Extremely efficient and friendly. Lovely location, too, overlooking canal.

This place is advertised from the canal so we took a walk over while filing up our narrowboat with water but unfortunately it was closed at 10.30 on a Saturday morning with no opening times to be seen. We saw that they did cream teas so we thought instead we might pop in on our way back to Bath in a few days time. On Wed afternoon 3.30pm we were approaching this place again and my dad ran on to see if they had enough cream teas for 6 of us. Unfortunately they told him that they'd run out of scones but he could see they did cakes so he came and got us and we all walked over. Unbelievably, by the time we got there, just before 4pm, they were closed, knowing that 6 people were on their way. We knocked on the door and a girl answered who had spoken to my dad shortly before. We asked why they had shut and why she hadn't told my dad they were shutting soon. She just said they shut when they don't have any business.Perhaps they don't have any business because they're always shut! If you're on the canal, don't waste your time, unless you need to use the toilets next door.

We have used the angelfish for years as a stop off from walking or cycling along the canal. I have never had a bad meal here! Good size portions and good service. Today hubby and I had a child free day so walked from Bathampton. I tucked into a lovely roasted veg, feta and olive pancake with a fresh side salad. Hubby has generous amount of ham, eggs and chips, he stated it was delicious. When I read the reviews on here, I often wonder if we are talking about the same place! My advise is to try it yourself and make your own judgement.

I read some of the reviews on here and I have to say I was really surprised. Just near to the Dundas Aqueduct this cafe is great after a walk. We have been here a few times and I have never ordered anything other than ice cream.However we dropped in for lunch today and then practically rolled home. I had a prawn and avacado baked potato (I make a terrible vegan) . It came with a huge portion of a selection of different and incredibly tasty salads and i'm not talking about the limp lettuce kind these were lush. I couldn't finish it but my husband bravely stepped up to the plate. The kids demolished a tea cake and an ice cream and our hot chocolates were both hot and chocolatey what more could you ask for. Thanks we will soon be back.

I parked at the George Inn in Bathampton with the idea of walking along the Avon and Kennet Canal for an hour towards Bradford Upon Avon. I was pleased after just over an hour to arrive at Dundas Aquaduct (a very scenic spot) to find a sign to the Angelfish. The restaurant is situated right next to the smaller Somerset Coal Canal with tables next to the canal. A very pleasant setting and a good restaurant serving a good selection of food. I chose the full English breakfast (served til noon) and was very impressed with it- 4 pieces of toast and butter, 2 fried eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes and fried mushrooms. Very tasty meal and a good pit stop before doing the return walk.

Если на выезде из Бат вы захотели поесть (скажем, перед дорогой в Стоунхэндж), то вдоль дороги Вам попадется ТОЛЬКО это место, и то, на приличном расстоянии от города. Главное, не пропустить съезд к нему (налево, если в сторону Стоунхэнджа). Кафе находится на канале, рядом с зеленым полем, где пасутся красивые барашки. Но в меню кафе нет баранины. Видимо, эти барашки - это не мясо на ножках, а шерстяные друзья владельцев кафе и их будущие носки. Кафе небольшое, но есть 2 этаж. Мы взяли жареную говядину с картошкой. Нормально. Цена - как в городе. П.С.: Зимой парковка бесплатна. Летом, видимо, еще можно покататься на катере по каналу.

I called to see if I could bring a small group of folks here for a bite to eat one lunchtime. (7)The place was empty. I asked if it was OK to bring a small group and was told it would be OK but could I phone in advance next time! Didn't feel that inspired or welcomed by the place. This is based purely on the demeanour of the staff.The food may well be well prepared and tasty, but I didn't find out as I went elsewhere.Sorry, but attitude towards customers can make or break a place.

Lovely location and popular on a winter Saturday morning. The staff lack a bit of attention on what we asked for in the order, but that did not spoil the meal. The place was clean and the food arrived quickly.

When we arrived a 12.30 we were happy it was not too busy. It was nice weather so we sat down at the terrace. I went in to order and had to queue for 25 minutes because there was only one person behind the counter making coffee and cutting pastries and I assume only one person in the kitchen. The guy from the counter also had to deliver the food at the terrace and worked hard to be efficient but without success. The coffee and the pasties were of very average quality not worth waiting for! Lucky when I came back to my wife she enjoyed the sun and the view.

Great Location next to the canal and a few hundred meetres walk from the Sundas Aqueduct. Can can sit in or out. Surprisingly wide choice on the menu. Food was good and service very friendly.

If you want an ice cream or a cool drink whilst you walk along the canal, this place is great. Otherwise don't bother. The service is poor, the food is nothing special and the whole vibe is a bit worn down and sad. It is a real shame because it used to be cute and quaint, now it's just tatty.

We came here for breakfast and found it to be expensive and rubbish. My sister asked for the bacon roll to be on toast and the guy said he didn't think the chef would do it?? I asked for the scone and clotted cream, they served the scone and said there's no cream, I said I don't want the scone then and he got in a huff! I ordered toast and jam at 2 quid? expensive! We were plagued by wasps outside at every turn so we couldn't relax. They have an awful way of serving the food, we were not given a number for the first order just the second but we weren't told that he had placed a number on the tray so he carried the food up and down shouting a number until we finally asked what food he was carrying. We saw it happen to every person who had ordered food. We won't be recommending this place to the people who frequent where we were staying.

Turned up for a breakfast - there were only two customers but they could not be bothered to serve us - do you actually want to make money - clearly no! Basically crap in every way

We lasted visited the Angelfish a few years ago and thought it to be a great place for a lunch by the canal. It seems that wear and tear have taken their toll on the place. It's very tired now and sadly the service and food are also lethargic. There is little to recommend this establishment apart from its location. Some tlc in all areas would not go amiss.

This canalside cafe restaurant is a handy oasis for walkers, cyclists and boaters on a pretty stretch of the Kennet & Avon Canal. On a warm sunny Monday lunchtime it was getting busy when we arrived at 12.30. We got friendly service from the lad behind the counter but as he was also serving ice creams and making coffee he was starting to get pushed. I started to fear this was going to be one of those long wait for moderate food places. There's a wide choice of menu - more than you'd usually expect in a cafe. I opted for the 'homemade' cheeseburger and fries; my wife had a healthy option - baked potato and salad. Fortunately it arrived quicker than I feared and - even better - it was actually pretty good. My burger was certainly home made -big, thick and flavoursome. Only disappointment were the chips; plenty of them but they were the thin Macdonalds type and lukewarm. (If I'd been in MacD I'd have sent them back knowing hot ones would appear in moments. Here I thought I'd persevere). My other half enthused about her baked potato and chosen fillings and even more about her sizeable salad which she called 'very imaginative'. At £7.50 and £6.50 they were good value too. An excellent lunch in a nice spot and rounded off by a couple of 'proper' ice cream cornets to sustain us on our walk back.

I've given one star for the location but the food is bland and the staff, well bland seems to describe the service as well. The opening hours are a bit odd we ended up waiting until 10.30 for breakfast which we did because we were starving (wish we hadn't bothered).

This place is perfect in the summer, the service is always ok, the food homemade and great to relax by the canal, I go often with my friends and I always find it nice.

Fab setting, lots of seating, cheerful red umbrellas, clean loos just such a limited menu - had stodgy salmon fish cakes that were 99 per cent mashed potato and tasteless, no flavour at all - my friend has an omelette that looked like leather - ( did not want to taste!!) - so please, for such a beautiful spot, get the food right and you will have a winner on your hands

We cycled the Two Tunnels route anti-clockwise and discovered this cafe by the Somerset Coal Canal museum. It was a serendipitous lunch as the heavens opened within minutes of our arrival, and the lunch was pretty good too!

We visited the café after a Sunday afternoon stroll along the canal. I have been here numerous times before and the food and service has always been great. Today was different. The staff were not very dynamic and didn't seem to care that there was a long queue of people waiting to be served. The lad serving also seemed to find it necessary to chat to his mate in the kitchen between serving customers. We waited 15 mins to be served only to be told that they are not doing hot food, in the most curt and dismissive tone.

We did a weekend of cycling along the canal around Bath and found this little place. We had a wonderful lunch, the fish pie was just so tasty, accompanied by some lovely fresh salad. We sat by the canal watching the little boats and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They had “run out” of quite a few things on the menu, but we managed to find dishes we liked so were not disappointed. We will certainly go back if in that area again.

We visited the Angelfish today for a family lunch before a relaxing stroll along the canal. The restaurant was virtually empty and only a small number of diners outside. Our three children requested pasta only to be told that there was none. They decided to have hot dog with chips instead from a very limited children's menu. My son's drink carton was out-of-date by 2 months and on returning it, they waitress realised all of the cartons in the fridge had the same date. A small apology and she went to another fridge to find one in date. Even the display carton on the counter was out-of-date! The portions were small (my children are 8, 6 and 2 and are not massive eaters) and not a vegetable in sight! My husband's plougmans was relatively generous although the salad accompaniments seem to have been reduced. After a further 2 or 3 couples, customers were informed of a half hour wait for a sandwich. There appeared to be an abundance of junior staff but clearly limited kitchen staff and inadequate lunchtime preparations. Overpriced children's food, poor service and no wish to return!

Had a fantastic lunch at the angelfish cafe yesterday, definetly worth a stop if your cruising down the canal.

Nice casual canal setting and serving good decent sized portions of home style food. It was busy but service was very slow with problems taking the orders/paying. Perhaps they should add an additional person to cope with the lunch period.

Myself and friend came across it having driven from American museum in Bath which was closed.Very good service had pancake with seafood filling plus a very fresh side salad lovely freshly brewed coffee. My friend has special dietary requirement no rich sauces or dressing on salad waitress doubled checked this before giving the order to the chef. The food was delicious. It may be an idea to indicate where the menu is as you walk in the door as it seems to be just a drink and snack cafe until you look quite high up to see the menu not obvious!

Myself and seven friends stopped for lunch at the Angelfish whilst enjoying a day on a narrow boat on the Kennet and Avon canal. We had service with a smile and did not have to wait long to be served our meals. We received eight plates of delicious food without one complaint. The portion sizes were good, and everything was clearly cooked fresh to order. Meals we chose ranged from steak and onion ciabattas, omelette, baked potato, burgers and bacon and egg butties. The menu is fairly extensive though and the only menu is on two large boards in the cafe, so whilst reading and deciding a queue builds up behind you which puts one under a bit of pressure to order. All salad that was served with the meals was beautifully fresh, my steak was cooked medium which was lucky that is how I like it but I hadn't been asked, so let them know how you prefer it.. I would highly recommend a visit here, the place is quite small so may be advisable to book a table at weekends or in the summer months.
