The Brook Bar & Bistro in Bath and North East Somerset

Food was decent though the cheesecake was really good. The outdoor views are amazing along with the site however £5.45 for a pint was just a rip off and there were not enough staff to cater for the wedding we had going on however not blaming any staff as they were all lovely people just needed more staff was all.

Lovely place for lunch. Beautiful setting and comfortable furniture. Food and service was good and good value for money. Looking forward to returning.

Came here whilst staying in the lodge. It looks amazing and staff were nice but the food was very disappointing. There was nothing wrong with the ingredients in the meal, I had fish but it was just so bland, with no flavour and the sauce just tasted like it was melted cheap margarine. If felt like a waste of ingredients really. Just not cooked with love or passion and very bland. Would have probably gone back during the stay if it was nicer.

A lovely pub . Me and my friend ordered a Sunday roast . When it arrived it wasn’t very hot .we did tell the bar girl. All she said was she was sorry and will let the chef know . As nothing was done about it I will not be eating there again

The food is awful. Do not eat here. I ordered the chicken garlic salad which came with 3 huge cloves of garlic. Who eats garlic raw? The chicken was so dry and there was barely any dressing. Nobody asked how our meal was and nobody questioned when I had left 75% of the meal. Avoid.

Bad food, bad service, beautiful place. It's such a shame that a beautiful place like this has so bad staff. They are not rude or anything like that, they just don't care. They took the order without even making the minimum effort in engaging with us, then they brought the starter without the drinks on the table. I ordered a no alcoholic beer as I was with a baby and they brought me one with alcohol, I asked one of the waitress cleaning the table next to us and she said that it was low alcohol but not 0.0 and then she left before we could ask her for a change. I ordered the roast pork, you can see the picture, they served me a thin slices of pork, and it was very dry. My friend ordered a veggie pastry and the puff was chewy like if it was done the night before and then reheated. The last drop was the “brownie”, just check the picture, it’s not a brownie and tasted burnt, I left most of it, and again they didn’t ask us how it was. I'm sure they know how terrible food they served us because nobody came to ask how anything was, also they brought the bill without us asking for it and left on the table saying; when you are ready! We don’t like to complain so we pay. We would not recommend it!

Great food. Beautiful setting. Excellent gluten free choice.

Nice to see. Good coffee. Seen woodpecker and kingfisher.

Service from the waiter was amazing as he had so much to do! Shame the food was poor, and most needed to go back or was inedible. Tried eating here on two separate occasions as thought perhaps the first time was just a one off. Returned for a Sunday Roast and the Beef was inedible and could sole your shoes, and the veg was raw. The whole meal was cold and the table of four next to us had the same experience. The venue itself is very picturesque but the cold and poor quality food lets it down massively. We also stayed in minus temperatures yet the wonderful log fire didn’t see a match. Lodges lovely but wouldn’t return here again which is a huge missed opportunity for the site. Please address this and we’d try again….

Staff were great but not enough of them to serve our event properly. Mix match of glasses as not enough of one type. Serving instant coffee when cafetieres had been promised/booked.

Booked for Tuesday had a phone call to say only one chef so only pies on the menu so booked for Wednesday to be told curry only ( one chef) so tried for Thursday told burger and pizza only ( one chef) Was told would be back to normal menu Friday so booked a table. On arrival they had no reservation under our name ( no issue as only one family in) but then told curry only on the menu due to only one chef 5 star not even one star stayed for one week and have been unable to eat in the restaurant! Not good enough

Really lovely place to eat and drink the staff were all amazing and friendly especially kelsey who handled a very busy lunch on her own very professional and still smiling she was a credit to this place

Two starters ordered - acceptable, but not great. Four main courses - two fish and chips were good (hurrah), one pulled pork taco - small portion and the sides were cold. Mushroom stroganoff - quite honestly the WORST thing I’ve ever eaten !! A bit like a tasteless French onion soup with mushrooms floating in broth. Two cheesecake desserts - one arrived collapsed and mushy, the other frozen. On the upnote the young waiter was lovely.

We had a Sunday roast here and we came away agreeing it was just about value for money. Between us we had the chicken and beef roast and a kids dinner. The portion sizes were good, both meats were acceptable but our recommendations were that they either used proper sliced roast chicken or maybe a boned cut as the breasts were very dry and flavourless. The beef was tasty but quite fatty so had a lot of waste. All the veg, inc roasties, just felt like they needed 5 more mins roasting/cooking. All hard on the inside. We all agree there was also a distinct lack of seasoning on everything, luckily the gravy was on point and masked the lack of seasoning. I have to say it came out piping hot, which is a massive plus in my book. Kid meal was enjoyed thoroughly, but from a patents perspective it seemed underwhelming given its near £8 price tag. Eton mess pudding was spectacular - no fault at all. Staff lovely and friendly, and location and cleanliness top marks. Overall, really enjoyed the experience and we would come again. And just a few minor tweaks would make the food on a level (and above) with other Sunday roast restaurants in the area.

This is a great restaurant on site of The Bath Mill lodge retreat, meals are varied and well priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the times we ate there.

Pub grub type menu, pleasant service.

The food was excellent but the service was awful we went there 3 times one at lunch time which was fine the second evening meal very slow service and because of this they were waiting to close and we had not finished but felt hurried then went for Sunday lunch which wad lovely but service again very bad starter was fine waited over 43 mins for main then again over 30 mins for desert which in the end my husband had to go and ask where it was we spoke to both one of the waiters and we think the manager who didn't really care

Thank you to Kelsey, Alice & Emma for helping make our daughters 18th birthday meal and family get together go without issues. Lovely restaurant, great help with planning and communication prior and helped with the cake at the end. Thanks from the Thompson family

We were staying at Bath Mill Lodge and decided to go to the onsite restaurant. What a gem. Very helpful friendly staff. The food was delicious, extremely good value and plenty of choice all set in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

My friend and I bought a selection of starters, 5 in all plus chips, the only tasty dish was the pulled pork taco, all else was tasteless, we did complain and approximately £7 taken off bill ! Our bill was £43, even the wine was not great, will not be returning

Went here for small celebration. People I'm with won't complain but probably should have. Service very slow, even with just three tables full. Food not that wonderful Stroganoff without much dressing, salad had far too much. Burger ok. Restaurant freezing cold - air con too high. No one checked we were happy or if anyone wanted anything else. Just paid bill and left.

Lunch at Brooke's Bar And Bistro after taking a visitor from Norwich on a hard morning's viewing of the entirety of the (cold and windy) Wren's Nest geopark. Not only was the meal a complete restorative - hot and plentiful - but the Pasta Romana was to perfection, and my friend delighted in his steak in a bed of sourdough, each with a rocket salad. He could scarcely believe the value Dudley provided, as opposed to his home city.

Very nice area to relax with good atmosphere friendly staff. I was abit disappointed with menu as it had changed from when table was booked.

My partners first time here and was just as impressed as me. Beautiful location, very helpful obliging friendly staff, and the food was excellent value. Quite a reasonable choice on menu and definitely affordable. Most certainly recommend it and we’ll be going there again. My partner is in a wheelchair and it’s all easily accessible

Wow. We are at bath mill lodge and decided to take it easy and use the onside restaurant, I'm pleasantly pleased with how good the food was. I had the meat feast pizza, which was the best I've had in a while. My family all enjoyed the meal. A+++ .

Great two course sunday lunch, great staff, great surroundings. Loved everything about our visit and Bath Mill lodges themselves. What a week.

Small but friendly bistro, food was of good quality and served hot and was easonably priced. Atmosphere was relaxed with soft background music not too.loud.

Party of 11 ate here on our first night on site. Food and drink reasonably priced, however, no starters or desserts on kids menu. Asked if we were able to get a dessert for the kids was advised they could do 2 scoops of ice cream. When the bill cake we were charged £4.95 for 2 scoops of ice cream. Considering an adult pudding with 1 scoop of ice cream was £6.50 needless to say this was a bit of a shock. When we queried with waitress was told they checked the price with their manager as that was high but didn't think to advise the customer! When spoke to the manager he basically just said "that's the price". The ice cream was nothing special and was filled with ice! Daylight robbery and really marred the evening!

Heavy drinking workmen in their working clothes, one using perfume or something else at the behest of the older lady behind the bar all in front of diners. Only open one night in a three night stay. Breaded brie awful, but battered haddock haddock was nice.

We really enjoyed our meal, with plenty of choice on the menu, we had great service and was good value for money.

We were staying at Bath Mills so booked in for a Sunday lunch. Excellent service. Food was very well cooked and presented. 3 of our party had the children’s meals which were more than enough for them. I had the Mushroom Wellington, excellent. Good value...

Amazing Xmas eve dinner before the big day! ! Great cocktails and cosy atmosphere 👌

Well that was a really nice Christmas experience. We are always a little wary to go out for lunch on Christmas day just in case it doesn’t come up to our expectations but we needn’t have worried.From the time we arrived there was a lovely...

A family group visited for Sunday lunch last week and were looking forward to a good roast dinner. After a very long wait of approximately 45 mins our starters arrived. The soups were tepid but the taste was good. We were very hungry after the...

Very nice bar and bistro set in pleasant surroundings on the entrance to Bath Mill Lodge Retreat. There was some confusion with the food we ordered but that was soon rectified with no problems by the very polite and accomadating staff with a special mention...

We found the food to be of good quality and very good portions. We ate a couple of time during our stay at the site. We weren't disappointed and would love to return. Only down side was the early closing. Once you've eaten its nice...

The staff are brilliant!! Very polite & helpful. Dog friendly too. However we felt the food wasn’t up to the same standards. Sunday lunch in the Bistro the gravy was like water so didn’t add much to the taste of the plate. The veg a...

The food here was great and came out in good time. The staff were friendly and very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant

Had been told by friends to eat here as the food and service was great, and I've gotta say I'm not disappointed we ordered the combo, chefs pie and a chefs special macaroni and cheese all food came piping hot and the portion sizes where...

We ordered from the sunday menu which included 4 options of roasts; I ordered the beef. When the food arrived, the slices of beef were dry, with the outside of the slices dark brown and hard. We were the first guests to be seated, so...

We absolutely loved our meal here, the portions were very generous (I actually couldn’t finish mine) and tasted great. Nice setting with option to eat in our out.

We had booked the Globe Inn not far from here, but cancelled and booked to come here, to support local business, this was a mistake. We booked a table for 9 of us, and pre-ordered our food so it should have been so much better,...

We stayed at the Bath Mill Lodge and ate at the Brook Bistro twice in our stay, both times we were impressed. Food was very hot and fresh, drinks were yummy came as ordered. Waiting staff polite and always checked we were ok and if...

Unfortunately we were very disappointed by the food. We got our hopes up because everything looked the part and the menu gave the impression of delicious food offering “stone baked” pizza and chicken tenders from the kids menu. We had it delivered to our lodge...

We went on the first night of our weeks stay. When we walked in there were 2 other tables occupied but we were told due to a private function downstairs there could be a wait for food. Then came the list of food that wasn’t...

We ate here on the first night of our stay. Food was fabulous and tasted home made. Wanted to eat here on the Sunday night but found the bar & restaurant closed at 4pm which was a bit disappointing.

Stayed at Bathmill Lodge and the Bistro is the restaurant on the complex. Ate here twice in the week. Had the fish and chips the first night and very good. However opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala on the last night and it was without...

I came with my girlfriend for a evening meal and desserts, the food was absolutely amazing everything was hot and full of flavour. And dont get me started on the desserts! To die for! Including the very friendly and approachable staff, with affordable prices and...

Very nice setting to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening but unfortunately the quality of food let it down. Friendly and helpful staff. For the price we would have expected better food. It was just about ok . We ate there on our...

Nice restaurant on site whilst on holiday here. Food reasonably priced and fast service just very small with hardly any tables and lacked atmosphere but the staff were great. The fish and chips was amazing but they'd ran out of it day 2 😥, margarita...

My husband pre-booked a table for us to celebrate my birthday whilst staying in a lodge. They were very accommodating when we asked if it was possible for us to bring the dog also, there is a separate area in front of the bar where...

Food was good. A little too much mustard in the mashed potatoes. It was a shame that the fryer was broken but that can't be helped. Overall a decent. Meal and I will return

Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent food at a reasonable price. Separate space where dogs are welcome.

My veggie curry was great but my partner 's fish and chips not as good, "fish a bit old" was his comment. Other diners in our party quite happy apparently so choose what you believe!......

A group of SEVENTEEN of us had lunch here today and we were all very happy with the food and the service. My compliments go to a member of staff, Sinead Marks, for the excellent help she gave in ensuring this lunch went smoothly. Most...

Shambles table for 2 food was brought out with 15 mins delay between my meal and my partners. My chicken and bacon was tough as old boots, no exaggeration, my partners gammon and egg was not cooked properly. The lodges onsite are excellent. I cannot recommend the restaurant at all I would like to give 0 stars.

Great food fantastic service definitely! Will be dinning here again.

Had food with my girlfriend service was fantastic and food was amazing will definitely be returning 😁..............

The food was ok but the service was a shambles. Took 25 minutes from being seated to get a drink. We were lucky that our food order was taken and delivered correctly however we were the minority and the experience was ruined by multiple tables complaining that their orders were wrong, food being sent back and people getting annoyed. not particularly relaxing or enjoyable. Felt sorry for one waitress who was just constantly having to apologise to everyone.

This was a little gem of a place, lovely food, friendly and helpful staff, will definitely encourage us to stay again.

Parking easy and free. Restaurant spacious and warm. Toilets well kept and clean Food excellent and service efficient and friendly.

Had a,lovely relaxing lunch today. Friendly greeting on arrival. Spacious dining area not too busy. Staff were attentive but not pushy. Food was good although Id have prefered chips to fries to accompany my burger, but thats just my preference. Lovely grounds all very well...

Christmas staff meal The room was too cold people had to eat in thiet coats.staff tried to help but did not really understand how this spoilt the occasion for us .food was medioce Would not return

the staff that work here are the best! also im a fussy eater and didn't like any thing on the menu but my family did. so the restaurant let me basically design a pizza to my taste and made it for me so we could...

A very nice restaurant set in a beautiful location. The restaurant had a great menu with a wide selection of good food. Friendly staff who were very efficient on a busy Friday night. Food was great and very tasty. Drinks selection was great as well. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Fantastic Sunday lunch! Really good service and lovely surroundings!

Rarely eat out at lunchtime but had heard lots of good reports and were meeting friends so thought we'd try it for a snack. So can't comment on the "meals" but other patrons seem to be happy diners! Good choice of fillings for a ciabatta....

Arrived here ready for a two night break and had dinner after we checked in . The food was lovely and service was great ! Look forward to coming back .

Lovely setting for this place. It is quite a small reception and bar area with a large number of lodges separate from the building itself. We were there as part of a wedding party and the place was pretty busy on the Friday night and...

Just called in while passing as it looked "interesting" Nice bacon roll and coffee. Menu looks fine. Nice grounds, perfect for a sunny day. Friendly/helpful staff member.

Whilst spending a four night break at the Lodge we thought we would take night off from cooking and eat at the Bistro. As it turned out we booked Steak night and were told the price included a free bottle of house wine for every...

Lovely location and food presentation was beautiful. Staff are very friendly.

Nice place, nice food but a serious lack of options for vegetarians or vegans. This does need to be amended for the growing number of veggies like myself for nearly 15 years now. There was no offer of something else when I asked what else they could do. It was just a flat out 'no sorry we don't do or have' which was then followed with the painful silence of oh.....okay....um. We all been there before haven't we ;) Another option to cater for their lack of variety would have been appreciated- especially now fast food places offer more than one option! Oh and half of the dishes were unavailable or they had run out.... it was prebooked for a Sunday family birthday meal....and it was only 3pm. Also stunned as how they 'ran out of food' when there were only 2 families

Very relaxed, ambient atmosphere. Lovely to pop in for food or just a quick coffee as you pass by.

Awful service. Undercooked, low portion, food which took to long too arrive and forgot orders.

The setting is beautiful, the service and good let it down, average at best

We came here as it was out of the town centre. It is dog friendly and very welcoming my puppy has had a fantastic time and this trip was mostly about him before he goes in to have surgery next week. We will be returning...

We arrived early when staying at The Bath Mill Lodge accommodation so decided to have a drink, we had two pints and were also given complimentary welcome drinks on arrival (wahoo!) The weather was great, so we decided to sit outside - all tables were...

We were looking forward to a meal here. First let me say it is virtually impossible to get through by phone to book this restaurant. The phone options relate mainly to booking a holiday and not a meal at the restaurant. The setting is beautiful...

May I start with a positive - The Bath Mill accommodation was fantastic. Our entire family stayed for the Easter bank holiday as part of our wedding. We were greeted with rose petals on our bed when we came back on our wedding night. A...

Good food, good service, nice wine and our dog could come with us. I had all vegan and it was all lovely. Doggy was given a big bowl of water (which she knocked over before she left - sorry!). Only complaint would be that there are two radiators in the dog friendly area which made it difficult for her to find a spot that was out of the way and not too warm.

We (couple with children aged 13 and 11) opted to eat our evening meal here on the first day (Monday) of our February half term short break at Bath Mill Lodges, as this was convenient for us after unpacking and doing a supermarket shop to...

We booked purely for convenience as we were staying on site. The prices were very high (£13 for burger and chips) but we thought it would be easier than driving into Bath. We booked a table for nine 3 days in advance and were told...

This a lovely hidden venue by a stream in woodland. So close to Bath but feels very much in countryside. Pleasant service. Lovely outlook. Good food. What more could you want? We will go again for specail occasion

Me and my wife are going every weekend to have a cooked breakfast. The food is very tasty and made with good quality products. Staff is welcoming and are bringing the orders quite fast. The atmosphere is quite and relaxing. I am recommending this place for everyone who wants to have a meal in a quiet place. I will definitely revisit.

We were staying on site so ate here the first night and the food was very good ...I had the fish and chips and the fish was huge and totally delicious as the batter was so light. They do a steak night on a Wednesday...

Booked here for dinner on our 1st night saying at Bath Mill. We had Californian burger and vegetable tagliatelle with chicken. For dessert Baileys cheesecake. I had half a lager to drink. Very inviting restaurant in great location-ambience very good and with friendly staff. The...

3*+. Good staff. Very slow service. Food not as good as it used to be.

The meals are really beautifully prepared and taste devine and the bar stocks a good selection of beers,wines and spirits also you can have bar snacks all day either inside or out on the balcony. They also do breakfasts each morning which are great. The...

We came for a Sunday lunch having booked in advance for 3:15pm. The setting is beautiful and the restaurant itself had a good ambience. The menu was good and the waitress was able to explain the gluten free options as they weren't marked. I was...

What a fantastic meal we've had here. Sea bass cooked to perfection with seasonal vegetables equally well cooked. Hubby had breast of chicken with seasonal vegetables. We both had vanilla panacotta for dessert. What can I say - it was divine - a very large panacotta with a scoop of flavoursome raspberry sorbet, redcurrant jam and dots of mango coulis topped off with half a strawberry. Compliments to the chef and the lovely attentive staff. We'll be back!

Went for a birthday meal and were not disappointed. Excellent value, gorgeous food, cooked fresh. Definitely eat there again.

This is a stylish, elegant place, despite being quite pricey I felt you get what you pay for. I opted for duck egg and grilled asparagus as a starter - it differed from the description which said it came topped with crispy onions, and the...

We came here during a sunny Sunday walk with our Daughter who’s at Uni in Bath, she mentioned this great location she comes to overlooking the brook, we sat on the balcony in the sun overlooking the brook, great location, very quiet, and relaxing although...

We enjoyed a Sunday lunch but after an unacceptable forty plus minutes waiting for a member of staff to return to collect our plates and take a dessert order we went to the bar,waited ages,paid the bill and left.

We came here for lunch - we had last visited it 12 years ago but has changed completely. helpful staff and good food. Seems to cater for the families staying in the lodges and it was quiet but it was bank holiday Saturday and no...

We had been to an appointment with my new grandson and when deciding where to have lunch my daughter knew how much I had been trying to get down to Newton Mill for so long that this was where we would head.I sadly have to...

The food was well presented, tasted good and the service was excellent. Beautiful venue, the weather was the first balmy evening of the 'summer'.

I had booked a table for the Saturday night of our stay at Bath Mill Lodge retreats. We had a very nice dinner. It was all freshly cooked and we all enjoyed it. Eventhough the restaurant is supposed to close at 9 there was no...

We had an evening meal here and a Sunday roast. The evening food was very nice but the Sunday dinner was bland and over cooked. The staff was nice and dressed smartly but their customer service skills are not up to scratch. We ordered a...
