All the food was amazing. Their drinks are great too and would recommend their steak and cauliflower dish. Their desserts are absolutely delicious. We would definitely come back.

We visited for a roast dinner on a Sunday evening. The pub itself had a great atmosphere and was warm with a relaxed vibe. All of the staff were fantastic and had a great demeanour and were very attentive throughout the visit. The food itself was great. The meat was cooked perfectly, potatoes were lovely and the garlic purée was a really nice addition to the dish. My only slight criticism was it took a while for us to get the bill, however staff were busy so this is understandable.

A fabulous pub with friendly service, a beautiful environment, and best of all, amazing food. I had the scallops as a starter and the version as a main, and it was probably my best meal in Bath. Put it at the top of your list.

A delicious Sunday roast! We started with the peppers on labneh which were unique and very tasty. This was followed by the beef roast, with all the sides you expect. The Yorkshire pudding was great, but just slightly overdone. We finished with a sticky toffee pudding which was to die for. This was a great pub experience!

Shared the Prime Rib and honestly, as good a beef dish as I can remember. Absolutely perfect: great after a long red-eye flight and long day walking. You know a quality meal when you eat a bit more than you thought you even wanted (We were hungry. The beef was delicious), but feel just pleasantly full, not stuffed. Nice atmosphere: lively but not too loud; everyone friendly. Besides the beef, everything else served was, well… just great. A lovely experience.

Look at this outstanding Team flying under the radar at a Gastro Pub! Hats off to this amazing Team in the kitchen & running house. Was sceptical on arrival as it seemed so casual and perhaps not what I had hoped for, however was very impressed from the moment we were seated. Arriving very early for drinks to check out the place before dining the staff were so friendly and on the ball, they took good care of us and accommodated us early. The tables are booked back to back and for good reason. Servers are funny, warm, kind and professional. The most simple starter was done to perfection. The mains by far beat all the surrounding restaurants in Bath, their venison was the best of the week! You’ll find an observation dining room upstairs where this flawless team are at work, it’s beautiful! It was like a Alain Ducasse experience within a local pub.

We were a group of friends who were celebrating a 50th last weekend and strolled past the pub, which looked very lovely. The male and female staff members on duty were rude from the start and so unwelcoming. Apparently all the tables inside were reserved (it was almost empty) so we chose to sit outside, and offered to wipe down the wet tables and benches as it had just been raising. We were courteous and were happy to do so, but were flung blue paper towels as if we'd done something wrong. After being told they didn't serve food,( we didn't want any) and with no smiles and rolled eyes from both staff members we took off and left. What a shame that those working that day had such terrible attitudes and were so unpleasant towards our happy group celebrating such a lovely occasion.

Overall I think this place is nice. I enjoyed my sea bass but my wife wasn’t a fan of the monkfish. The deserts were enjoyable. I’d recommend the pavlova. Service needs work. We ran out of water twice. They also get so many American tourists that the wait staff are trying to bring the tipping culture to the UK to make an extra buck. NO THANKS.

What a lovely off the beat and track restaurant. We were recommended this restaurant from two people who know Bath very well. Can honestly say this is one the best roast dinners (beef) I have had in a while. Thankyou so much to the younger waitress who made our experience so smooth and enjoyable and the waiter with light hair brilliant and attentive. Desserts also soooo lush , shout out to the chefs ! Amazing job!! P.S my boyfriend who is also a chef said it definitely lived up to expectations ! Thankyou so much ! :)

This spot is my favourite restaurant in Bath. Moved here a year ago and have always turned to Chequers as my go to whether it is with family or friends or a date, this place never disappoints.

Lovely roast, I had the spiced cauliflower vegan roast and even though you can’t have Yorkshire’s or the puree it was still very nice. Just a bit of a shame that for dessert the only vegan options they have is sorbet. I find dessert to be the easiest for vegans so would be good to see at least two options on there

One of Bath's best kept culinary secrets ! Friendly pub and staff outside the hustle and bustle of the city center. Had a meal to rival many of the better known culinary destinations in Bath In a relaxed & friendly casual atmosphere with very reasonable prices. Four of us ate, and all thought the food was excellent, even though we all chose a wide selection of dishes. Starters - Scallops, Humous, Peppers, Lamb Mains - 2 x Steak, Sole, Cauliflower Aston was particularly helpful in explaining the dishes. Only criticism was the toilets, which are looking very tired.

Just got back to the hotel after a 1st class Sunday roast! Loved everything about our visit. Got there a bit early so had a refreshment outside before being called in when our table was ready. The service, headed up by the most welcoming Aston, was superb and the Sunday roast beef was possibly the best I've ever had. Made the celebration of my fiancee's 50th birthday very special. Thank you!

Went there for dinner last night. We were seated inside the pub which was rather dark. Deco is so so. Ordered sea bass from the Specials menu and whole monkfish tail from the standard menu. The sea bass was tasty and well presented. The monkfish tail was fresh and nicely done but the dish to me was spoiled by the roast chicken butter sauce or more correctly 'syrup'. It was sticky and tasteless. There was no flavour at all other than that of chives. To me this syrup did not go well and ruin the monkfish tail. Ordered half a pint of Butcombe Ale on the side but it turned out stale, like one that was left overnight in the glass at room temperature. I had better Butcombe before. The pint of Amstel was a lot better though. So the whole dining experience was not perfect in this 'Michelin' gastro pub. Will try other competitors next time. Management response: Responded yesterday Disappointing that you didn’t feel it was appropriate to communicate any of this to my team during your visit , if you had , we would happily have offered an alternative to the monkfish dish at no cost, This dish has been very popular on this menu but obviously it’s very difficult to appeal to all personal taste and as I’ve said this could have been addressed on the day. LWLW response: I did talk to both the waiter and waitress who served us that evening about the sauce. Like you, the waiter responded by saying that other diners do like the Monkfish dish. This is somewhat dismissive of my feedback. I don't think I was given any opportunity to discuss my comment further let alone any remedial measures that the restaurant might offer. The first impression is very important and clearly this was negative.

I went out for a meal on my birthday. The service was initially very good, but once the food arrived and I expressed dissatisfaction, the wait staff acted as if they had never dealt with a complaint before. The roast potatoes were practically inedible, the meat was poorly cooked, and the gravy lacked flavor, similar to bisto. For the price of the meal, the quality of the food should have been better. I was thoroughly disappointed with the staff's reaction to my criticism of the food. It is possible that the food is better on a less busy day or not during their Sunday roast service, but I would advise avoiding it for a roast. The Marlborough Tavern is a much better option. Additionally, the staff were unaware of the vegan options on the menu for one of our party members. They even served a non-vegan Yorkshire pudding to them. Throughly over-rated and not deserving of the high praise that seems to be thrown at them.

My wife has a garlic intolerance. Chequers phoned me to persuade me to cancel as they would find this difficult. Garlic is in all the marinades, I was informed. Nearly all restaurants we've been to can easily accommodate us as they make everything fresh. Makes me wonder... are the meals pre-prepared? Maybe we dodged the proverbial bullet.

My wife and I dined here in May 21st for dinner on a recommendation from a local tour guide we had employed earlier in the day. We had a delightful dinner in this traditionally decorated, but up market gastro pub. Dinner surprised to the upside, with the broiled scallop starter and grilled hangar main particularly sublime. The service was a little short of expectations , but not for lack of trying. Just a bit under staffed for the crowded dining room. Highly recommended.

We also got the vanilla creme brulee and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert, both were great.

8 of us went for Sunday lunch to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. The roast dinners were absolutely delicious - especially the crackling on the pork, the Yorkshire puddings and the leeks in cheese sauce! I cannot praise their customer service enough - the staff were all very friendly and helpful on the day but, on top of that, we had a slight issue which I emailed about the same day and it was resolved within half an hour. Very professional and customer related. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying some different foods. Thank you all SO much for helping to make my husband's birthday so special.

I just popped here to have a drink outside with my husband and son. Unfortunately, it seems the manager is a man on some sort of power trip. I went inside to use the bathroom and perhaps he thought that I was not a paying customer, and shouted aggressively at me as I made my way downstairs ‘ARE YOU OK???’ When I explained I was just using the toilet he mumbled something about me just ignoring him and walking past the bar. I mean, if he did speak to me and I didn’t hear him, is that really a reason to shout at me in front of the restaurant… his whole demeanour was unwelcoming and unfriendly and it just left a bad taste in my mouth about the place sadly.

Me and my partner decided to stop off in Bath after a weekend away and we were both very eager for a Sunday roast. After scrawling Bath's reddit page we stumbled on Chequers which definitely lived up to expectations. We grazed on Scallops for starters (which were eaten too quickly for a picture to be taken) which were incredibly succulent and had a lovely garlic butter glaze. My partner is only really a fan of Chicken in a roast so to have this was a big win as it's not often pubs do a Chicken roast. All the food was delicious and the servers were polite and efficient. Only downside is we had planned to sit in the pub and have a few drinks before our meal as we didn't really know the area but as it's quite small there was no space to acommodate us. Definitely worth a visit.

Booked this for a special birthday treat as we live around the corner. Greeted rudely by bar staff who obviously couldn’t be bothered. Taken upstairs - nobody there to give us a drinks menu. Luckily kind family on next table gave us theirs. Drinks took 25 minutes to arrive which came after food!!! No offer of condiments etc. following our complaint the lady responded that the drinks had taken a long time as we had requested a daiquiri! I asked why our order of tap water hadn’t been delivered if this was the case and if we’d been told that making the drink would take almost half an hour then we wouldn’t have ordered. The food was smothered in gravy. Avoid this place there are much better, more efficient, politer places in Bath. We left without eating. Staff need training.

If you charge £20 I guess I can leave a review for that. I couldn’t come in as I had chest infection. My daughter called the restaurant to explain and asked to change for a week after.

Honestly regret going here today. The Sunday roast was very nice but the staff were awful and put a massive cloud over the whole meal. One of the waitresses literally rolled her eyes at us before going to get us more vegetarian gravy. We were also told that we weren’t allowed to order our food at the same time as our drinks even though we told them politely that we were pressed for time. I assume they wanted to get another table’s order in first but they didn’t explain, and that partnered with an indifferent attitude, it came across as rude and a bit weird. Just right the order down and put it through as soon as you can? We had other moments of bad service from pretty much everyone that we dealt with and we left without tipping. Our table was also right next to the staff service area so we had a lot of noise and crashing of crockery. They could also do with refreshing the toilets and cleaning the skylight above the booth table 🤢 I won’t be back and won’t be recommending it to others. 👎🏼

We visited for the first time and had Sunday lunch. We had booked a table, but arrived 20 minutes early in the pouring rain. We asked a waitress if our table was ready, knowing that it might not be. She said it wasn't and instead of asking us if we wanted drinks at the bar, she told us the only place we could wait was outside (back in the pouring rain). When we got to our table, the menu looked great. Scallops was on the Specials board as a Starter for £12, I chose these as I love them. When they arrived, I was so disappointed. There were two tiny scallops, minus anything else. I know they are an expensive ingredient, but can't see the justification for the price. It was not a starter size dish, more like canape. We both had roast beef, which was ok. Mostly nicely cooked, but a little cold. It would have benefitted from more gravy, a little pot on the side would have been a nice touch. All in all, we would not come back. The service was good and we might have tipped, but felt like they'd had all the money they were going to get on the mark up for two scallops.

Sneaky and deceptive restaurant. They accepted my cancellation request when I spoke to a staff member on the phone 24 hours before my booking and said I wouldn't be charged for my cancellation. Then, deceitfully charged my bank account a few days afterward. I called the restaurant to investigate the charge and was forced to speak to a rude and snarky man who attempted to argue that, despite the original staff member cancelling my reservation with no issue, there was obviously a charge afterward. AVOID!

We went here to have dinner. We walked in and asked if they had a table. He looked around (as to make us look stupid) and said they were at capacity. There were at least 4 empty tables. We asked if we could do take away and he said no. Very disappointing!! I have never seen a place with empty tables or food for take away turn down customers. I guess they really don't need the money. We were so excited to try this place, DENIED!!!!!

We went for their Sunday Roast and I was punked. I was unable to eat all. I was stuffed. I had the chicken eith the roast sides offered and it was good. The food came out pretty quick and very much enjoyed it. It was a bit loud as one would expect, not from the staff but other patrons. I note so patrons won't think a quite dinner is an option unless slower periods. Again, I would advise to book in advance for those busier periods.

Chequers has a bib gourmand. I fail to understand based on my visit how it achieved this. The food was acceptable for pub food, but no more. The room was far too cold. The available beer selection was poor. The service was good, not surprising as only one other table was utilised. Overall, just so-so.

Excellent Christmas meal for a large party. Service and food were superb. Aston was brilliant right from the moment we made our booking enquiry to the meal itself. All the staff were very friendly, accomodating and dog friendly. We had a wonderful evening and look forward to returning.

Reserved a table for Sunday lunch. Cosy and bustling atmosphere. The roast dinner was exceptional, the best we've had for a number of years, all served by professional and attentive staff. Highly, highly recommend.

We went for a birthday celebration and we weren't disappointed. Everything was perfect! The food was exceptional and the service was friendly and discreet. Can't recommend enough and we'll be back for sure.

29 of us took over the upstairs function room for a work Christmas party. We had the BEST time, everyone commented how delicious the food was & how friendly and helpful the staff were. It’s not easy hosting a massive group - we highly recommend. Thank you

Fantastic Sunday lunch! I had the beef and my father had the pork, portion sizes were just right and the quality of meat was fantastic! Will be returning for another Sunday lunch soon to try out their side of cheesy leeks .

We went to dinner for a company event and that's why I don't know the price of the dishes. The quality of the food is fantastic. The setting is traditional British but the food and dishes are very elaborate. I ordered parfait, venison and toffee pudding for dessert. Each dish surpassed the previous one. We had an unbeatable evening

Really, really disappointed by our experience with The Chequers. We were staying for a weekend in Bath and were so excited to finally try The Chequers - however my father tested positive for covid about an hour before, which he was so sad about as my husband and I were treating him for his birthday. We called up and got though to the manager, who couldn’t have been LESS sympathetic if he tried. He told us we had to come or we would get charged £40 (£10 pp for not showing up). My dad couldn’t believe it?! The manager would rather charge £40 (which I know he can waive as I used to work in a restaurant) than protect the well-being of fellow customers. We turned up to the restaurant with my poor father having covid and feeling awful - as he didn’t want us to get charged. I honestly am beyond disappointed the manager didn’t immediately say sorry to us. It just shows that the pub is a money-making machine with no proper duty of care to the people it’s serving. I’m genuinely really sad about this as I haven’t had to write a bad review on trip adviser in years - but this is the biggest let down of a restaurant.

Very nice food, although not quite what I was expecting for a Michelin’s Bib Gourmand. Some pieces of pork were even overcooked and dry. But overall, good dinner.

Chequers never disappoints! Booked a table for a dinner date with my partner and immediately received a friendly welcome upon entering. The gentleman who served us was extremely friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about the foods and wines they had to offer. Throughout the visit they checked on us, ensuring that we were looked after thoroughly. The food was fantastic and my partner who had never been before - absolutely loved her steak dish. The food and wine options were well priced for an establishment with such a high standard reputation. The atmosphere and aesthetic is cosy. Overall the experience was great and I'll happily visit again. Chequers is a 'must visit' by anyone visiting Bath! You'll not regret it.

I have not eaten here, it looks great though so we thought we would stop for a drink and a look at the BIB menu when out with the dog. I was shocked when charged £9 for two half pints this week. I actually thought it was a mistake and had been charged for 2 pints. The lady did then explain - when I nearly fell over- that half pints were more expensive- so a pint of cider is £7 but a half is £4- this should really be made obvious to the buyer at the time of sale. So that would mean that the other half pint was £5??? I couldn't really understand- I so taken back. Pints weren't great, Meantime was warm and Cornish Orchards Cider was a bit flat and both weren't even in branded glassware which added insult to injury. A bit of a sad experience. Front of house person was nice though- hence the two stars.

Excellent food and wine. Lovely service. Possibly one of the best gastropubs in Bath!

Wow the best roast dinner I have had in a long long time. The staff were absolutely wonderful. I spoke with them via Instagram & the booking app. Very helpful & excellent service. The food was excellent, our party of 4 each had a different meal & we all agreed that they were delicious Highly recommended

My favorite pub in Bath. The food is fantastic, staff friendly and the pub itself is beautiful, cosy and atmospheric. Have been with family and friends on two occasions - one for food and the other for a drink. Highly recommend.

Had the Roast dinner vegetarian option of lentil and butternut squash and it was delicious. Others in my group had meat options which they also recommended.

Awful experience …our meal today - and the indifferent service people- bring new meaning to over-priced mediocrity.

Amazing roast chicken at a competitive price. My wife had the vegetarian meal. She is really fussy. Doesn't like cheese, doesn't like Quorn. She LOVED the butter nut squash dinner. We'll definitely be back soon

We vist the jolly sailor and had a lovely welcome. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Beautiful spot next to the river Avon with a amazing view from the garden. The food was excellent and so was the service. Credit to the chef the food was brilliant very tasty. Dogs are welcome and there is a car park on site and you just need to register your reg with in 15mins at the bar simple no problem. Thank you

Seems to have lost some of its original magic. We enjoyed a few drinks and really good food previously. Ordered Chateaubriand to share, was tough. Staff seemed stressed over all disappointing from our previous couple of visits. Gave us the impression as gone from great atmosphere, vibrant and relaxed dining to more like a rowdy watering hole. The cocktails weren’t as good as we remembered either sadly.

Nice pub, busy inside. Food was standard pub grub which is exactly what we wanted. Staff were also very friendly, Irish barman especially (sorry, didn't catch his name).
