We had a lovely Sunday roast here, sitting on the covered terrace which was surprisingly warm and cosy with a great river view. The food was good although the portions of roast pork were skinny compared to the lamb. Staff were mainly very young and inexperienced but did their best to help and make us welcome. Unfortunately there are no baby changing facilities here, something to be aware of. Otherwise it is baby friendly. A very popular venue for Sunday lunch so booking is recommended. Definitely worth a visit just a short drive from the city centre.

We had never been here before but had heard good things. We weren’t disappointed. It is in a lovely position and has a wonderful atmosphere. The service was excellent, they made us feel very welcome and valued. The food is absolutely delicious. My husband had the sea bass and he said it was the best ever. I had the pork belly and that was divine. We both said we’d go back again very soon, can’t wait.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff both when we booked the meal, and service during our meal. Superb food- we came because of recommendations and it was well justified. We had heard that fish was a speciality and I am glad I chose this. The other food on the menu was excellent as evidenced by other guests beside us.

We held our daughter's wedding reception here and Rosy, Ben and the team helped make it a really lovely, memorable occasion. No request was too much trouble and Rosy and the front of house team were very accommodating. Our many varied dietary requests and the needs of the 2 wheelchair users were met with positivity and a smile. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. It was all delicious. Service was fabulous. Thank you to all at the Bathwick Boatman.

Well, I feel so fortunate that in the last few months I have come across a multitude of little gems in the food world, and not to disappoint, we have stumbled on this one. Set just on the outskirts of Bath, this restaurant is on the banks of the River Avon. First off, there is ample parking and easy to find. The reception was welcoming and Rosy was immediately on hand, introduced herself and welcomed you to your table. It must have been good as we spied a famous chef. We came for Sunday lunch quite late in the day, but we were not disappointed, our party all had different types of meat, and all served with rosemary-thyme roast potatoes, greens, carrots, braised red cabbage & broccoli and leeks in cheese sauce, Yorkshire puddings & plenty of hot gravy. There is a wide choice of wines to choose from to accompany the lunch. For reference, you can choose either a 2 course dinner or 3 course and very reasonably priced. For desert, we had between us the warm stem ginger pudding, clotted cream ice-cream & toffee sauce ( I have tried sticky toffee pudding all over the world and this is ranked in the top 10 ) and the vanilla panna cotta, autumn fruit compote & crumble. I did really want to try the cheese board, but that would have been over indulgence. Overall, this was a wonderful restaurant and I would award it my SGH Award. One minor detail, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. We are planning to return to the restaurant with different friends in the next few weeks and will no doubt have rave reviews again. Congratulations to Rosy and Ben.

We had our wedding reception at the Bathwick Boatman and Rosy and her team were phenomenal from start to finish! Rosy could not have been more accommodating in the build up to the wedding, answering my many emails and helping us with logistics. She did all of this with a natural easiness. On the day, her team set up the table for us beautifully and had been able to cater for guests with dietary challenges. Everybody agreed that the service was amazing and the food was delicious! The restaurant has a stunning, rustic charm, being situated on the river and was just the right setting for our special day. We will be forever grateful for the fantastic hosting of our special occasion. Thank you for having us!Xxx

Nice inside and lovely terrace overlooking the river. The service was very good. We went for a Sunday roast and while it was nice and enjoyable, I have definitely had better in Bath especially for the price point. The lamb (my partner had) was better than the pork which as you can see in the photo is nothing special with none of the nice coating of fat and crackling. Nice but nothing special.

Exceptional service from Rosy. I have a severe allergy to sesame and peanuts and Rosy went beyond my expectations for how accommodating she was. She sent me a really detailed, helpful email about allergies before attending and was so caring and careful on taking my food order and checking with the chef etc. She was so kind and made me feel really reassured about the food there and safe in her hands! She has a lovely, caring, friendly manner and made my lunch so relaxed knowing all was okay with my severe allergies! Excellent food and service, thanks so much Rosy and Bathwick Boatman we will be back!

An amazing restaurant with great friendly staff and excellent food! We went for dinner for 2 people, 2 courses each (starter + main). Be sure to check the menu online because it works different for lunches and dinners (for dinner you pay a fixed fee for either a 2-course or 3-course dinner). Beware that you need a reservation, but we called at 5pm and were able to get a table for 6pm the same day. The atmosphere was great but it got a bit loud towards the evening as there was a big group of people. Otherwise nothing to complain about, it was amazing!

My wife and I enjoyed our first wedding anniversary away in 14 years so I was looking for somewhere that we would both enjoy. We're not the kind of people who would enjoy 2-Michelin star restaurants so I wanted somewhere nice enough for an anniversary meal but also not too pretentious and that made it difficult to know what we're actually eating (foam of what?!). This place did that perfectly. With the added bonus of a beautiful location on the river. The food was amazing and the service was perfect. 3 courses for £40 (we both had steak), really is great value for the quality of the food served. I'm so glad I chose this place.

Lovely little riverside restaurant over a boathouse. We ate indoors as my partner felt it would be too chilly for him, but most diners were taking advantage of a lovely evening. A nice menu with various options. We both went for the fish of the day, Sea Bass, which was cooked perfectly and portion sizes were just right. I had a very nice glass of Pink with my meal. It was a great place to celebrate our 25th Anniversay. The staff were attentive and friendly. A nice giggle with the maitresse d' - who may be one of the owners. It seems family run and unpretentious.

Having enjoyed my first visit here I returned with my wife for lunch. We had the set price lunch which at £31.95 for three courses is extremely good value. Starting with leek & Potato soup with wild garlic pesto and freshly baked bread and butter my wife stated hers was excellent. I had the fried baby squid with chipotle mayo which was very tasty. For the main course the boss had the pressed roast belly of pork. This was outstanding I tried some of hers and it was a winner. I noticed it was very popular with it being the choice of many of our fellow diners. I chose the fish and chips and I have to say I was disappointed with it. It was well enough cooked but obviously constrained by the costs the white fish was pollack or similar and was completely lacking in flavour. I should have chosen the catch of the day which was a fillet of sea bass. I had it last time as did someone on the next table to us and it looked very nice. For dessert I had blackcurrants in clotted cream ice cream with a fruit and kirsch compote and a shortbread biscuit It was delightful . My wife had a selection of three cheeses from the Bath soft cheese company with quince jelly and grapes, crackers etc. This too is good value for just a £2 supplement. All washed down with Chardonnay and a port with the cheese it was a good lunch and came together to under £100. We will certainly be going again, I won’t be having the fish and chips but there are a number of interesting dishes on the menu I would like to try. Not least the excellent pork belly.

The team looked after us really well, friendly and welcoming and very efficient. Parking through the gates at the end of the street and side street parking if needed. I'm told the ginger cider was super tasty, the batter on the fish was super light, almost tempura style, I enjoyed my roast chicken with a tasty tomato sauce. All in all a very enjoyable meal. Thank you for the birthday candle in my husband's ginger sponge dessert.

Two course Sunday Lunch for £27, came to £73 for two with a glass of wine each and a dessert supplement. Haitian belly pork as a shared starter was very good and the (also shared) local cheese board was a highlight, with Wyfe of Bath, Bath Blue and Bath Soft Cheese, all delicious. However, what should have been the star of the show turned out to be some quite gristly, dry shoulder of lamb that also lacked flavour. We were late in the service (just after 4pm), but the lamb just needed a fair bit more time and attention. The service was friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was quiet and pleasant.

My daughter suggested meeting for lunch and chose the boatman because although it’s near Bath City centre it has great parking facilities. Neither of us had been before, but it turned out to be an excellent choice. We were warmly greeted and providing a high chair for my granddaughter was no problem. The setting next to the river is lovely and most importantly the food was excellent and approaching Michelin star standard in my opinion. The lunch menu offered a number of choices for starters, main and dessert courses which at £30, bearing in mind the quality of the food is extremely good value. We both had calamari with chipotle mayonnaise and a dressed rocker garnish to start, it was fresh and melt in the mouth tender. For mains my daughter had the slow cooked pork belly which she declared to be delicious. I had the catch of the day which proved to be sea bass. Fish cookery is a delicate business and easy to get wrong. My sizeable portion of sea bass was cooked to perfection. The skin side crispy and the flesh beautifully soft and moist, the chef who cooked that certainly knows what he is doing! Dessert for both of us was stem ginger pudding with clotted cream ice cream and toffee sauce. Another triumph! Along with the excellent food the service was equally good and although I spend most of my time in Spain these days I look forward to coming again as soon as possibly.

The Sunday roast beef was inedible as it was so tough and I nearly choked on it. Sent it back and it was replaced by the chicken which was over cooked.

The food is of a high standard, it was full of flavour and beautifully presented and the staff are super friendly and professional. It was a lovely night out.

We had a table booked inside but on the day it was really sunny and so the staff had moved an extra table outside so we could sit out and enjoy the sunshine. The view is lovely and you could sit all day watching the boats go up and down. The food was great. Would definitely recommend

What an absolute and amazing experience. Beautiful surroundings and excellent attentive staff and truly amazing food . The Chef excelled himself on the varied menu on offer and all courses were cooked to perfection please be aware this was a party of over 20 persons with various choices of menu and service was exceptional just what you would have expected from a 5 star hotel. Highly recommended .

Beautiful set restaurant by the peaceful riverside. Greeted by Rosie who was welcoming and friendly. Our table was on the covered terrace with views of the river and boating. Table set with beautiful fresh flowers. The Sunday roast was absolutely delicious and well presented. Service was great with a lovely dining experience. Highly recommend this individual restaurant and will definitely be returning maybe with a punt of a little boat trip..

Hidden gem in a beautiful location on the river. Close to Sydney Gardens so lovely walks close by. Restaurant is really pretty with a lovely covered balcony overlooking the river. Lunchtime was very quiet and the service was excellent. An authentic Bath business definitely worth visiting away from the tourist hub. Menu could have been a bit more exciting and seasonal, especially the desserts, but we will definitely return as we had a lovely time.

We booked Henry’s to celebrate the night after our wedding as we’d seen so many good reviews and the menu looked lovely. Unfortunately we didn’t have the experience we expected and cannot recommend. We both had the set menu which was all fine. Then the main course of beef cheek came, mine was lovely and cooked well. However my husband’s was inedible and we literally couldn’t cut through the meat it was so tough. We showed the waiter and he completely agreed and took the plate back to the kitchen. Then came back a few minutes later, with the same plate. He told us the chef insists this is how it should be served and refused to do anything…We were shocked!!! The waiter was so embarrassed and agreed that the food wasn’t right, but the chef wouldn’t take it back so there was nothing he could do! The waiter handed it as well as he could and took our wine off our bill to compensate us, but I was shocked that the kitchen staff had put him in that position rather than the chef come out and talk to us himself, when the meat clearly wasn’t right (I had the same meal and my meat was cooked fine…..). My husbands meal was sent back untouched and we shared mine… As we had the set menu, we had a few course to go still and we just wanted to leave…. It put a dampner on whole the evening which was meant to be a special dinner, and created such an awkward atmosphere. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Ubicado en un edificio clásico de Bath, el restaurante cuenta con dos mitades a las que se accede al entrar por la parte posterior del restaurante y volver a la parte de atrás para la segunda mitad. Las habitaciones se envuelven alrededor de la puerta de entrada principal y la escalera al edificio (la puerta está separada para los residentes de arriba). Nos encontrábamos con amigos y esperábamos una buena noche. La comida no me decepcionó, sin embargo, nos pareció que el servicio era un poco desdeñoso y excesivamente lento, no había ninguna posibilidad de sentirse apurado. Además de eso, cada vez que se abría la puerta, estábamos sometidos a una ráfaga de viento helado. También se sentía como si muchos lugares estuvieran abarrotados en el restaurante: una mesa o dos menos le habrían dado un ambiente más relajado. Si puedes soportar eso, la comida valió la pena.

The full English breakfast was clearly entirely or in part reheated in a microwave. After eating more than 6 English breakfasts in the UK this week, this has to be the worst. The French toast was excellent tho… the prices advertised outside are lower than the prices inside. There’s also a service charge when you pay.

What a wonderful place. Great food in a really cosy atmosphere with excellent staff all round. We would recommend this restaurant most highly for all those visiting Bath. If you look inside you may think it is full but it has two floors of great experience and well worth a visit.

Nice coffee, food and service in pleasant surroundings. The town is a little small but has a very old church with interesting Norman architecture.
