The Claremont in Bath and North East Somerset

We booked for dinner online. When we arrived, the staff had no idea about a booking and we were told they weren't serving dinner. Switch off your booking times if you don't serve food at that time. We had to ring around several pubs - all fully booked - before we found somewhere that would serve us if we took less than an hour. We had to get a taxi to that location. And evening dinner ruined, basically. All of which could have been avoided if the restaurant booking system actually reflected the food serving times.

Lovely evening, but ruined by Awful service from the bartender, went with a number of friends who also had the same awful experience with the same bartender. Guy who was wearing a rogue shirt. Amazingly rude to a lot of people.

Really disappointed in the food, used to go here regularly when it was The Rising Sun, definitely not what it used to be. Shame

Great spot for some Sunday lunch and good Guinness. Kieran couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly! Will defo be back!

Lovely Sunday lunch with a friend. Chef Patron produced an excellent lunch with all fresh ingredients, and new team is friendly and efficient. This pub suffers from being just outside the city centre but easily reached by car, foot or bus and has had a tough few years, but this new owner looks like he will pull it through. Food was great and I will be trying its weekday offerings. With ongoing improvements, it should do well. Dog friendly and has some outside space. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Two fantastic Roasts here today! Friendly staff, goodbdrink selection and Priemership football on Sky. Fab Sunday!

Great local, decent selection of beers and wines, friendly staff and Franky the landlord puts a lot of effort putting on events.

Fantastic pub, really enjoyed the pizza and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will call in again soon

Lovely pub, friendly service, good range of beers

We go to the Claremont every few weeks and it's a reason we want to stay in the area. We love the food and the staff are always friendly. The menu changed a while ago and it's even better than before. We've tried most of the pizzas and they are great quality (regular style, not american style - which is great for me :D ). We particularly like the new starters. The pub have a lovely cozy atmosphere. While I'm sure they have occasional days where things go wrong, we've yet to experience one of them. Very happy to have the Claremont around <3

I’m coeliac and always check that restaurants are safe. I had called the Claremont ahead of time and spoke to a gentleman who was extremely helpful and explained how they handled gluten free pizza’s, other gluten free options on their menu and how they could also augment dishes. I really appreciated how kind and informative he was. My visit was equally as good and the server was so helpful confirming that everything was safe. I had the truffle gluten free pizza and it was sooooo good!

Hidden gem with Fantastic food and friendly staff. One of the best chefs in bath!

We were looking for somewhere to eat on our first night of the trip and found this almost by accident. Their service was great, a very friendly team, and the food was excellent. We had the pizzas. We’d definitely recommend.

Took a couple of guests here a couple of weeks ago. Everything was excellent. The pizzas were to die for! Mind you, I don't get out much! Go and enjoy - if you can get in! Go early!

went there for a sunday roast it was really good but a bit overpriced, I recommend !

Great meal in convivial atmosphere and excellent service. Thank you Jemma - awesome time thanks to you and your team. A very memorable time

I've been here a number of times and every time the staff are really welcoming and professional. The food is excellent, when they have what you want. The issue seems to be that there's a lack of planning. I've attended the pub quiz multiple times and each time, despite it being a regular event, they've run out of basic items like chips, cider, Guinness etc. The staff more than make up for it by being super friendly, and the quiz master is great, but I question why staples like chips havent been ordered in advance when they know the quiz is an upcoming event. It just feels like something is wrong with the organisation of the place.

Good selection of draught pints, nice atmosphere, decor and friendly staff. Pizza ok, could of been quicker, but generally very good.

Really good spot to watch rugby and still quiet enough to have a chat with friends, spacious and really quick service so the children didn’t have to wait too long.

Great place, my local pub. Great job! Me and my friends came here to watch the rugby and really enjoyed it here. Thank you to the owner for a great time.

Really nice pub, friendly staff and decent food. Board games available and also dog friendly which is a plus Good outdoor seating. Would recommend

Lovely little local pub with friendly staff and nice cocktails ☺️

Awesome place to have a drink and catch up with friends. Good service and excellent customer care. Had a cider and a packet of crips. Very enjoyable. Will coming back soon.

Chicken and Ham pie was glorious. A bit of a small portion of mash and veg, that felt reheated. Service was superb and very friendly

Although this pub is known for its pizza, I came in for a colourful Sunday Roast. The beef was cooked well, as were the vegetables and pigs in blankets. The potatoes could have been more crisp, and the amount of beef/gravy was quite stingy. Service was fine. Friendly staff and a decent pint. Relatively quiet atmosphere on a Sunday.

The Pizza here used to be great, I went last night and I'm afraid their pizza is now inedible, it's not hard to make a good pizza. The claremont is a great pub for drinks and a chat, don't eat the pizza.

Great pub, always good service, good pint of Guinness and some of the Best pizza in the area. Small outside garden area which is very nice to sit in

Saturday night, empty with possibly one of the worse experiences ever. The gentleman serving us was new, lovely and tried his best to make amends for what was to follow. Chicken Pie had frozen (pink) meat as seen, pizzas were topped with cold mozzarella which the owner failed to realise left the pizzas cold. As well as that, some of the pizzas did come out cold. When complained wasn’t met with the nicest tone. There were only two other people in the pub on a Saturday night, a clear indication of the service and product here. Would avoid.

Had the pork bites as a starter, which were very good. Also tried the Truffle Pizza which was cooked by Liam, it was tasty and the ingredients worked well, very enjoyable. When we are in the area again we will go back. Nice atmosphere, good service and friendly staff.

Nice decor/seating but the service and food is poor and overpriced. Reviews and photos are from the past owners and the food is now unpleasant. It use to be a lovely locals place with good limited menu, we’re locals but we won’t be returning.

Went to the pub for the quiz and thought we would have some dinner at the same time. We queued for a while to get served. The vegan options weren’t that great. I had the pizza and my mate had the pie. There was no vegan cheese and it was very very dry. The meat eaters of the group really enjoyed their meals.

Such a wonderful local, Frankie is always friendly, great drinks and food

Easily one of the best roasts and pizzas I've ever had! Thanks Franky and team! Will be back again very soon!

I booked a table here around two weeks ago via the pub’s website, on arrival we were told to sit anywhere. When we ordered our food we were told we couldn’t sit where we had chosen and had the options of a tiny cramped table or to go and sit outside - it’s late October! We were also told that the prices on the menus we had been given were wrong and that the hey had increased. Drinks were ok and pizzas (that’s basically all the menu consists of with a few exceptions) we’re acceptable. We ate and left - shambles if a place.

Nice place, food ok but pricey.

Such a fun friendly atmosphere with one of the best roasts in Bath. So impressed with everything. It’s rare to get the combo of great food and relaxed atmosphere

Every few months, we go to The Claremont, our local, for drinks and pizza. We haven't been in a while, but had heard that there was new management. The pizza crust is now very thin--which I like, but this was thin and hard, so it cracked in our teeth. There was also less cheese across the pizza, and the salami seemed thinner or maybe there was simply less of it. Here's hoping the pub brings back the old recipe--until then, we'll be going into Bath for much better pizza.

lovely spot with charming little alcoves and seating areas inside and out. super friendly staff, and will return to try food one day.

Alot nicer on the inside than the outside would suggest. Friendly, nice atmosphere.

Friendly pub. Recent change of owner (July2023). Small, outside area, with seating and a covered wagon. Inside is split-levels with TV showing sport and quieter area down some stairs with larger tables for large groups. Suggest booking. Good pub grub and local sourced. Themed menu. Nothing too posh, pizza, hotdogs, burger that type of thing. Good

I can't say anything about the food, because I didn't eat there . Small pub . Nice staff.

Amazing place, highly recommended!

Lovely pub with a great selection of food (hats off to the chef). This is a great place to meet your friends, family and friendly atmosphere for kids.

Friendly manager and delicious pizza!

Amazing pizzas, friendly staff, and great priced drinks.

Nice little pub with good selection of wine and beer and a decent beer garden. Staff were great.

Probably the worst pizza I've ever eaten. They've changed the menu since I was last there and no longer do Barrel & Stone as in the pictures on their marketing. The base was almost impossible to cut, and was under-cooked. The mushrooms(truffles?) were raw, the bechamel sauce not even warm. No sign of truffle oil. I sent it back to be cooked a bit more, and it came back much the same. I ate it because I had to wait so long for it and I was starving. The beer was good though, and service pleasant, though slow.

Great friendly pub with a good range of board games to play, including some games we've not heard of before! Instructions provided! 👍👍👍

Great local pub, friendly with good beer and pizzas. We enjoy an evening drink here.

Good local. Decent selection of beer, helpful staff, friendly atmosphere. Great pizza.

Lovely lunch where we had all 5 of the starters as a main meal for 3 of us. They were all delicious. And pretty quiet for lunch, unlike the Hare and Hounds, we didn't have to book ahead. What's not to love!?

I am Working in the Claremont in bath today, the food being prepared in the kitchen looked inviting and smelt amazing... So I ordered a personal one for my lunch. It was 2nd to none... So fresh and tasty not the like the commercial ones you get from branded pizza shops. The Claremont is spotlessly clean throughout kitchen is visible from the lower dining area and again it's absolutely pristine the attention to cleanliness and hygiene is clear to see Both George and Mark are really welcoming, this place is beautifully presented with pleasant outside spaces for smoking and eating. A real credit to these guys. The pizzas I ate was prepared by George... It Was excellent with Amazing flavour and really quick to the table even though there was a few others being ordered by customers. I would highly recommend if visiting bath and want some excellent food and drink.

After reading some of these previous reviews I find it surprising we are talking about the same place, because yes they have a nice selection of beers and the pub looks nice decor wise with the cosy horse box out the back however.. I’ve been a number of times where I have been served by a particular member of staff with a beard and glasses (assuming the manager) he has never once smiled nor said hello nor asked how my day was or made any effort to be polite in anyway to me or anybody I’ve ever been with. this is so sad because I can tell the chef and other members of staff really are very warm and welcoming but this particular person should not be working in a public facing role when he makes me feel very unwelcome and a good example of when he was rude (most recently) is when I kindly asked him if they were doing food I was then bluntly told no (even though food was meant to have started by six pm, and so I asked if they would do food at any point in the night to which he very angrily and aggressively told me he didn’t know. No explanation, no Reason no apology. I was waiting for friends and would be more than happy to wait for one of your delicious pizzas but due to his actions I decided to meet them elsewhere. This is money that could be spent in your pub. all I ask is for the future to simply force out a single smile when you see somebody enter the pub (as if you weren’t really unhappy about being there) because it reflects with us the customer. Lastly he was sat on a table on his phone for the majority of the time I was in there (almost two hours) , granted it was a Tuesday night but I myself am a manger for a bar and there’s always something you should be doing . I apologise for the negativity because I’m a very positive person but I can tell you first hand you are only as strong as the weakest member of your team so maybe have somebody who knows how to smile greet the customers. I’d be more to an happy to potentially remove this comment if I could get a reason or potential apology because it’s not fair that this one personas actions should negatively affect your business. Kind regards, Nick

Really friendly pub. We went in with our 1 year old for some food. She ran into the kitchen and the chefs didn't mind. They were happy showing her stuff. Pizzas were really good. With knowing there isn't a kids menu but plenty of food kids will eat

Great real ale and great pizza - I will be back! Not my real name btw obvs... random characters I put in when I got a new phone but now can't change ...

Cosy atmosphere and excellent Sunday lunch

Great pub, spacious and good pub grub.

Friendly local pub, especially good pizzas!

Lovely pu nice food reasonably priced been refurbished nice staff funky place

Wow! We’ve just had the best experience at the Claremont. It was my son’s 5th birthday and all the staff went above and beyond to give him an amazing time. They made him a special happy birthday sign for the table, the manager bought him a free milk (!) plus the whole pub sang happy birthday when the cake came out. Please thank them for us. They’re amazing 🤩 x

This place is immaculate, with a few nooks and crannies to sit and enjoy a drink. Prob a locals pub up in Camden/Larkhall. Looks really nice and well worth a visit.

Gute Pizza in einem Pub auf einem Hügel in Bath, abseits der Touristenströme. Die Bedienung ist freundlich. Der Pub hinterliess einen sauberen Eindruck. Ich würde wieder hingehen. Kinder sind willkommen.

Great pizzas, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. All you want from a local pub. A tiny outside patio, but inside was cute and cosy.

The Claremont is located well off the beaten path, but we wanted to give it a try and so booked a reservation for the Sunday Roast, though the only time available was 3:00 pm. No problem, we would just be a bit hungrier by lunchtime. The walk up, which took us 30 minutes, was quite nice but when we arrived we were greeted with the news that the restaurant literally had no food, other than bar snacks. The reason, we were told, was that they had had a lot of walk-ins. Which means we shouldn't have bothered with the reservation in the first place, and that management failed to honor it's inherent agreement with those fools who bothered to make a reservation. And so, now quite hungry, we re-traced our steps back down the hill in the futile hope of finding another dining option at 3:30 pm on a Sunday. While it's unlikely, should we decide to try the Claremont again, I will update this review to actually reflect on the food and service. At the time, however, all I have to go on is the establishment's fairly blatant disregard for it's customers.

This place is so lovely, the staff are always friendly and welcoming, the pizzas are great and the prices really reasonable. They've done such a great job bringing this pub back to life, it's got such a great atmosphere. They've also recently taken over The Old Crown at Weston, Bath, which no doubt will be just as amazing! Well done Daniel and the team. We love the Claremont!

A really pleasant pub up in the hills around Bath but not far out so nice for a visit from town when you fancy stretching your legs. The food was good - we enjoyed some excellent chips and a delicious pizza although its base was slightly scorched on one side but not enough to ruin it. The staff were friendly. A couple of the staff's jokes didn't sit too well with me but I suspect that was down to me being nervous on a date with someone who might just be too good for me, so it won't stop me from going back because it is a very nice place.

Conveniently located in Fairfield Park with a good selection of beers a wide variety of drinks and a good menu food menu. Service was quick and delivered with a smile.

Always great friendly service Drinks served well Great pizza

Very welcoming lovely staff, great atmosphere, Irish band, delicious lamb shank! .... we’ll come back. Many thanks!

We went for a Sunday roast and though it was a bit pricey the food was really good and the young blonde lady that served us was lovely and attentive. Place was quiete.We went there a few times to watch some matches or for aperitif and it was nice.

Really good Sunday lunch & lovely staff

Pizza is good but not the best we tried. The crust was a bit thick, but taste overall was a 7. The staff was very friendly.

A splendid local with warm and welcoming publicans. Pizza and good beers. Not a high energy boozer for people on the pull.

The staff are very polite, most of the food is really good but the pizza is quite small, very cheep so overall I would recommend this to people

I only go on a Sunday as I live in Box ! I join my Son's there , Though I think the landlord is moving to Weston Village soon , not sure when ?

Lovely pizzas, gin and atmosphere! Thanks Daniel and team

We don't normally do pizza. After being to Italy, we always made them ourselves, as felt no one could make a good one. But....I have to say these were extremely good. In fact, delicious! Service was fabulous too.

The food (porchetta roast) was fabulous, wine list tip top and staff lovely. We spent a very relaxed and fun afternoon at The Claremont.

This was our second visit for Sunday lunch and it didn't disappoint. Easy to miss in the shops area at the top of Camden, parking is free locally and it's next to the bus stop from the city. It's a traditional ale house, comfortable and clean with a short, careful menu and good beer and wine. No noisy music or intrusive screens, just good easygoing family welcome. The owner/chef is a delight and his food is excellent. Good quality meat, fresh al dente vegetables and good gravy. There's always an interesting vegetarian option as well. The team is really friendly and helpful and there's outside space for the warmer months. A good family choice.

An amazing place...with very nice and friendly staff! Thank you for your availability!

I visited this beautiful pub for a roast on a Sunday and I had the lamb, it was absolutely amazing and the meat was falling off the bone. Would definitely recommend for a roast! Great pub, Great food!

The best pizza and service in town!❤🌹

Really nice place to have a few drinks. The bar staff are lovely and while we didn't eat the food looks really good.

Ate a whole pizza...Really good trust me go visit Now!!!

Out on a walk today and decided to stop for a quick lunch after seeing the interesting menu on the Claremont's open gate. We were going to sit at one of the outside tables, but were offered the quirky shepherd's hut all to ourselves. The...

Great atmosphere, tasty food, nice drinks and excellent service!

Came for the quiz with friends, came 2nd!! Won £30. Good fun and lovely staff.

Lovely local, very nice staff, food and environment. Can imagine a lot of local regulars. The pizza is delicious 😋🍕

Very friendly and helpful staff, fantastic food and great beer selection. Just wish we lived closer as this would definitely be the perfect local! Highly recommended.

Lovely place, excellent service and food.

The Claremont have just started serving roast lunches on Sunday so my wife and I thought we’d give it a go. We both had roast beef and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and cooked medium rare; the vegetables were cooked to perfection...

Staying for a couple of days near this pub and didn't want to hike in to the city, so called in here to see what it was like. We were met by very friendly and welcoming staff. We ordered some garlic bread to start with...

We were staying on the outskirts of Bath for one night and looking for somewhere to eat. The Claremont was pretty close so we decided to go there. Very relaxing, very friendly people working there, great service and fantastic pizzas.

Lovely pub with friendly staff. The pizzas are excellent. The heated Shepard's hut in the garden is great fun

Really friendly local pub. The newly built outside area out the back is an excellent addition. The pizzas are very good and the staff always chatty and nice. Dog friendly!

We received 5 star service!! My friends and I booked a table for dinner on a Monday night, but when we arrived we were sadly told that the chef was sick, so there would be no food that evening. So we ordered a quick drink...

The friendliest pub in Bath. Daniel and his team always welcome you with a smile. The choice of beer is superb and the pizzas are delicious. A proper local pub

Excellent pub which does food. Great choice of beers. Staff very friendly. Will call again.

Beer kept well, food cooked well and tasty, staff efficient and friendly plus many different areas to sit. Also a great local. Keep up the good work Daniel and Simona xx

Lovely, caring management. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Great food and service
