The Crystal Palace Pub in Bath and North East Somerset

Friendly service and a cosy place ☺️

Not cheap, but to be expected with a Fuller's pub in central Bath. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Really like this pub. Simple, clean and no students 😅

Popped in without a reservation and with dog in tow. Made very welcome and ate well. Price was very fair for the city centre too.

Nice place with very good food!

Starting point for a Bath mystery guide! We liked it so much we came back for dinner after we solved out treasure hunt. Food was awesome, good portions, value for money and tasty. Lovely atmosphere, clean bathrooms. Highly recommended 👌

Just right to pop in for a pee and a pint,clean and tidy.

A traditional English pub on a quiet street in Bath, it couldn't be a better choice! Wonderful food, traditional beers, cozy atmosphere and special service! It was a pleasant surprise!!

Love this pub! Great food, great beer (and other drinks), lovely surroundings and very friendly staff.

Lovely pints in a lovely setting. Ideal

Not the best roast chicken it was removed from bill

Stumbled across The Crystal Palace, and loved it. Good food, wine and atmosphere..really enjoyed our time here

Outstanding food , service and atmosphere, staff were all lovely, only sadness is that it's not my local. Great little well run pub.

Gorgeous venue .Really good food .Excellent service 🤗

My wife and I recently had two lunches and one dinner at this restaurant, a clear indication that we enjoyed the food, the service, and the atmosphere. We had entrees for our evening meal and sandwiches for our lunches. The food was hot, fresh, and very good. The staff was friendly and courteous. I would certainly go back there if we ever return to Bath.

Rudest bar staff ever. 19:00 and just left as the bartender was being sarcastic and rude. Train the staff not to loose a table of 6 pax. Shame

Good pub food. Service a bit slow Quite noisy

Lovely staff absolutely pleasure to visit Dog friendly Great Garden Great food Location Perfect

Excellent pub, good food and reasonable prices

Wonderful atmosphere any day of the week, always sumptuous food from a menu that changes with the seasons, cosy seating with good spacing between tables. Without question worth looking forward to or a solid fallback if you have a varied party of diners.

We shared a lovely meal here. It was busy when we got in but the staff managed expectations and seated us when they said they would. Great food, great service, would definitely go back.

When you do a excursion to Bath and got hungry. Go to this place. We had the burger. Wow. It was greath and greath service.

We love this pub for a drink whenever we’re in Bath and we had lunch there for 3 of us. My partner and I both had the smoked salmon and king prawn linguine which was really tasty but the portion size was tiny and really not good value for money. My partner has to get something else to eat after we left!

First visit for me, why have I taken so long, I have lived in Bath all my life 55 years old, very nice 🙂

Lovely little pub with great staff. Had a real fire going, which was very welcome on a chilly evening

I've not eaten here though I can recommend it for a drink or two. Friendly attentive staff and a friendly atmosphere. Well worth a go

I loved the food the fish and chips were crispy and nice

We had a fabulous family meal here. The staff were outstanding. I cannot fault them. We had our very young grandson with us in a carrying cot buggy type thing. They were helpful with this and our seating. The food in general was very good. I had a mixed grill the quality of the meat was great. The chips were just OK. The onion rings were too greasy. Good range of wines available by glass. Overall excellent.

Food, drink and service was fantastic 👏

The barman was brilliant, absolutely on his game. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for whoever was in the kitchen when we visited. The menu looked amazing but the confit duck was almost raw, the pork belly cracking was flubbery, and the Thai green curry was weirdly gooey. So disappointing because it seemed so promising.

Good place for a pub lunch, nice setting and friendly staff

Just had a few beers, but great location in an old characterful Bath building, with nice vibe and decor.

I deliver here and the staff are amazing

Lovely place, good surrounds and good crowd

Lovely pub, just costly, and what is going on with the posh bit? Carpet in a pub, are you sure?

Ngl, I can't believe the shift sent out the snot that was mushed veg labeled as a thai green. Shocked. They did try to amend 😯 emabressing for the cost

Very lovely sport. Terrific food and service.

Usually this central city pub is packed but a midweek lunch pitstop found plenty of tables free. Drink and a sandwich deals are good value at under £15 (I had sausage and sweet red onion in ciabata with lovely chips) and there's an outside courtyard for warmer days and smokers. Good range of beers, 2 bars for busy days and friendly staff make this a pub worth trying.

Love this place well worth a visit. Good food friendly staff, good service ✅️

Very poor. Xmas day lunch was not good. . Would not recommend. Avoid the place

We came here last night. 4 adults and 2 Children. My kids are 13 and 16 and were welcomed by the staff.

There’s expensive, there’s London prices, then there’s this

Love this place, great food, fabulous service, and amazing atmosphere

Lady behind the bar calling customers a batch! I'm a regular here and this is unacceptable. All because we asked for a spoon to take out ice from the glass politely.

Nice pub in the middle of bath, serving a good range of beers on tap and draft. Nice outside area out the back with loads of room and cover.

Beautiful pub fantastic meals good atmosphere clean and lovely staff excellent range of alcohol too it’s a must on your pub rounds

Amazing food with great atmophere.

One of the better pubs , only drank so no judgement on the food. Staff friendly.

Food top notch and a good line up of beers. Reputed to be where the ex queen's hubby, Philip drank when he was in the navy

Lovely food and service on a very cold and busy day. Would highly recommend.

My friend and I went yesterday for Sunday roast. It was my first time visiting and I’d definitely come back because the food was very tasty and good quality. Service wasn’t terrible at all and the staff were very nice. It’s just that I feel they could be a more attentive and a bit quicker. The salted banoffee cheesecake was like heaven. I ate it all and didn’t share any with my friend even though he was eying it up! Lovely decoration and a pleasant, dog friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

Yet another visit whilst in Bath. Friendly staff and good service, nice pleasant atmosphere well worth a visi

Someone needs to seriously sort out the plumbing/cleaning of the toilets here. We came in for a drink and a meal but the only table available was way too close to the ladies toilet which was absolutely stinking every time someone opened or closed the door. My partner visited the gents which he said had urine all over the floor. We couldn't bear to stay to eat, given this is the standard of cleanliness so drank our (very expensive) drinks and left. A horrible experience.

Don’t bother drinks are well over priced for a pub it’s nothing special at all. Nothing else to say on the matter other than £10.30 for a small bottle of Prosecco is a joke.

Love this pub, great food, but was shocked to find the girl behind the bar giving permission to a women to allow her LARGE dog to sit on the sofa !!! Wouldn’t want to be the next person sitting on that sofa.

Good pub food and great service. The smoked salmon and King prawn linguine was tasty, although the sauce was a bit too thin and creamy for me, it was made well. The pie and chips were top class. Desserts did not disappoint although we needed a lot more sauce on the sticky toffee pudding and a lot more custard on the apple Crumble. The staff were friendly and happy to oblige with extra gravy jus as well. Highly recommended and a good solid Fullers pub that achieved the high standards I expect from Fullers.

Used to drink at the Crystal Palace many years ago, particularly in the summer when the beer garden was a summertime attraction. Today we met with friends for a late lunch and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We all had the pie and mash for our mains. Whilst the portions could have been a bit bigger the quality was very good. Add to that a very nice pint of beer, tempting desserts and friendly staff, what more could you want?

Nice Fullers pub with classic tasty food and friendly service 🙂

Another great Fuller's Pub. Good food. London Porter ale is excellent.

I visited with my husband for lunch as we live in Bath. Nice environment and food, but I found a hair in my food which unfortunately is inexcusable, so I left part of my food. I mentioned this to the waitress at the end of the meal, and mentioned that it was ok but if she could please let the kitchen know so that they could avoid this happening in future. I was disappointed that even though the waitress apologised, there was absolutely no offering to make up for it? I had been gracious to not make a fuss, and would have expected more in terms of service. I wouldn’t mind discussing this further so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

I had spent the afternoon in Bath and had recently finished my visit to the Roman Baths. My main reason for visiting Bath was to do some night time photography. Therefore I did not want to eat too late. The Crystal Palace had caught my eye earlier in the day and, being partial to Fuller’s beer, I gave it a go. The pub is divided into a restaurant area and a bar area. I had not booked so I was pleasantly surprised to have a table in the restaurant area. My whitebait starter was beautifully cooked and slipped down well with a pint of caramel infused beer (the name of which I can’t remember but it did have “Fox” in it.) My steak and ale pie was meaty and the pastry was cooked to perfection. I find that it is not uncommon for pub food vegetables to be overcooked or watery. The cabbage and peas that came with my pie were probably the best that I have had with pub food. They were excellently cooked. The pub had a relaxed atmosphere and, for a damp and cold November evening, was pleasantly warm. I must give a special mention to Naz who was pleasant, friendly, engaging and very efficient with her service.

This place use to be good. We ordered pies and both pastry were really tough to chew, kids pasta has big chunk of vegetables, it’s not very looking appetite. they didn’t have English mustard nor even tea spoon. Felt like they were too busy talking and let everything run out. I had to get up and ask for service twice. They have such a good potential lovely establishment, they can do much better. We will visit again in while.

Great location, food was absolutely fine, service was great. Thoroughly enjoyable. Quite cozy when it's raining.

Excellent evening in this pub with nicely decorated decoration (numerous frames on the walls, wooden tables, benches). We ate haddock fish and chips as well as the buttermilk chicken burger. If the breading of the chicken could have been crispier and the dish a little more garnished, the sauce for the fries was excellent and the breading of the fish was as crispy as possible! The service was impeccable with a young, dynamic and smiling team. It was a pleasant moment and we will come back!

Good british pub food. Pie of the day—chicken and leek—was tasty, but crust was a bit too hard for me. Nevertheless I eat it all. Fish and chips was great. Loved the homemade tartar with capers. In America ours is usually made with pickle relish (it’s rubbish). Cozy vibes inside and our waitress was very kind. Service was quick—perfect if you’re part of a tour with limited time.

Called in here for a drink after shopping and ended up staying here all night - didn’t have food here.They let dogs in.

If you find yourself in Bath, England on a Sunday, do yourself a favor and visit The Crystal Palace for the Sunday Roast! We told our concierge we wanted a traditional Sunday roast, and she said it was her personal favorite, so we booked it! The restaurant sits just across from the Bath Abbey and is the perfect location to sit, enjoy a pint and a roast. We both opted for the beef roast, although you could have the pork roast or chicken as well! The beef was served with a lovely Yorkshire pudding, cheesy cauliflower, carrots and parsnips- and of course I HAD to opt for the horseradish as well. Absolutely perfect stop after spending the morning touring bath! Highly Recommend!

Standard pub nothing special, be cautious as I was served undercooked sausages

Solid menu with decent quality food, standard selection of beers and ales with a few local ones. The spirit selection was rather limited and disappointing, some English whisky or quality scotch was sorely missing.

A group of four of us, old friends from school all hitting half-centuries and living in different parts of the country decided to get together and have a Thursday evening in Bath. We made very few plans and after reasonably late arrivals walked in to the centre for a few drinks and something to eat. We entered the Crystal Palace at 2055 and were met with warmth by Lizzie who advised she could get us food if we ordered swiftly, since the kitchen was closing. We chose from the broad but not too broad choice of British dishes and our absolutely delicious food was served rapidly, (though not so rapidly it had just been pinged). We then enjoyed a few pints in the delightfully friendly, perhaps well-suited to our demographic ambience. It was quiet without feeling empty and classically decorated without feeling tired. Overall a really enjoyable experience, made all the more so by Lizzie and the rest of the team. I would recommend this place for couples, reunions and groups where talking is preferred to shouting. We didn’t visit the bar since we were sat in the lounge area, but did get the sense it might have been lively in a positive way. Many thanks to all involved.

The pub caught my eye as I walked past during some downtime in Bath. The bartender took my order quickly and then proceeded to make something completely unrelated to the Moscow mule I ordered. If you don’t know what’s in a drink, just ask! Certainly don’t charge 14£ for some completely random pink drink with bitters!

Such a great place,better than any pub I know

Popped in for a beer. Nice staff and nice pub. Booked a table for later 😁. UPDATE: Met some friends for drinks on Friday evening 13th October 2023. At around 10pm the fire alarm went off, apparently a napkin caught fire. I give them 10/10 for all the fire doors doing what they should do. O/10 for the staff being clueless. No instructions to leave the pub and by what exit, no mention of a assembly point outside, so everyone was just outside the pub doors and leaning against the walls. When it was all clear, no member of staff was in control. People just started going back in. I'd expect someone to be lead fire warden giving out the all clear and come back into the pub. Staff were like clueless headless chickens and NEED immediate fire drill training. Get a grip instead of just taking customers money.

We visited with friends this evening for drinks. We had booked a table, but when we arrived we were told bookings were only valid for meals. This should be made clear when booking, not when we arrive. Luckily we found a free table. Half way through the evening the fire alarm went off. The fire doors closed immediately, which was excellent. The staff just shouted at people to get out, without saying which way to go. They did not appear to check the toilets were empty as we left. Once outside the staff didn’t communicate with us at all. Customers were standing by the windows of the building, which would have been a problem if there was a fire. Also everyone was standing all over the road, which would have blocked a fire engine. A man came running down the road and went in to switch the alarm off, as apparently none of the staff in attendance knew what to do. Then the staff just went back in, without communicating with customers. More training is definitely needed.

I had a super birthday lunch there a week ago.Excellent food,hot, tasty and prompt ! The whole atmosphere was friendly and relaxing .Welcoming attentive service from Jasmine, nothing was too much trouble , (she even bought me a cushion to sit on ! ) We will definitely recommend !

Great place in Bath, UK. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Reasonable menu choices, warm and friendly staff.

We were a table for 6 for dinner, and found the portions to be so small that we were starving afterwards ! Both the Gnocchi and the Seafood Fettuccine were tasty but barely the size of a starter, and around £19 each. Surely a few vegetables could have been added to make the meal more appetising and sustaining ? You have just lost 6 customers who live in Bath and who would have returned.

Just behind the Abbey! The pub seems a bit sleepy and complicated at first glance. You look for a suitable table, study the menu, remember everything including the table number and then order and pay at the counter. You also have to get your own table water from a pot. At least you will be served at the table. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is tasty and the service, although a bit stiff, is friendly.

I popped in here for a drink after eating elsewhere. The staff were really friendly and service was fast. It's a great place to sit and have a conversation. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating.

Definitely a bit more expensive for lunch than we expected, but the quality of the food was great. Really beautiful pub inside as well - lovely atmosphere.

Nice pub, but £6.60 for a pints of Guinness and £7.40 for a pint of larger. Completely taking advantage of it's customers as they are tourists/one-off visitors.

This is a Fuller's pub so had an inclin that the Sunday roast would be nice , and it was . The portion size of the Roast beef dinner was generous and very tasty. The pub is very cosy and well maintained , if the weather a little warm head to the beer garden at the rear .

Great food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. We went for evening meal one day and then back for lunch the next day

The staff members Amelia and misty are the reason I shall not return more the latter member as I have been 2 times and both times I’ve met with the staff member misty instead of Amelia so I’ll start with the lesser rude of the two Amelia was just very sour faced and just came across cold and irritated that’s it mostly Misty now this one was very rude when I asked for the toilet she made a noise if Ugrh as if she was annoyed at me asking where the loo was, I was served by her on my second occasion visiting and I order a double Jack and coke and she said to me “double Jack and coke???! I’m we have Pepsi” in a very condescending tone I assumed it was a joke at first but she just looked at me deadpan I then replied with okay then a Jack and Pepsi and she gave me this look and didn’t ask if I wanted ice then served me this no ice drink filled to the top with coke no garnish and just slammed it onto the bar not been very happy with my experience especially as the manager I met one time there called Hannah was lovely and was the reason I went a second time Sadly due to this I shan’t return due to mainly misty s aggressive and rude mannerisms

This pub & its punters are a joy, what a great afternoon I had! It was Jane Austen weekend in Bath, so it was a pretty gorgeous affair as you can imagine, (I say afternoon, I stayed a while longer 😉) thank you Jemma & Phoebe for making my visit lovely, see you soon!

I’ve been working on a project in Bath the last few months and have eaten here often. The food and service are always spot on. Very reasonably priced for good quality food and a good, caries menu. And, you’re in the heart of Bath. Perfect!

Lovely pub for just drinks or food as well, lots of different seating, inside, half inside or outside, the perfect English city center pub/restaurant.

AS LOCALS WE VISIT THE CITY OF BATH ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR A SPOT OF SHOPPING, A DRINK OR PERHAPS SOME LUNCH AND JUST TO ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY. ON SUNDAY 26TH AUGUST 2023, ALONG WITH RELATIVES FROM CANADA, WE WERE DOING JUST THAT....

Sunday roast was ok, could have been a bit warmer. Lovely pub. Service was extremely slow despite several reminders that our food hadn't arrived, no apology. Sorry guys, must do better.

Staff need training, very rude the lady in question needs to be told how to serve the customers with respect and have a good manners in which she lacks, and she told us to leave the pub, when we asked her for some drinks

Lovely pub with seating inside and out.

First time was a quick stop for haddock and chips before heading off to my accommodation. Food was hot and nice, needed a tad of salt n pepper. Service was friendly and quick. I will be going back for apple crumble. Watch this space for updates... Sorry was half way through before I remembered to take a photo, so didn't. I will of the crumble...

I would not go back to eat at this pub! I had lunch with my daughter. She asked for a club sandwich and I had a supposedly beer battered . fish sandwich. This was luke warm and full of grease with soggy batter. The chips...

Lovely little pub tucked away off the square. Cute inside and clean and tidy. Didn't try the food here. I don't know if it's the usual price tag for Bath as we only stopped at 1 pub but £8 for a single G&T shocked me!

I thought it was a very good place to eat, a very good menu, if I return to Bath, which is the safest thing to do, I will return there

Friendly staff and atmosphere, nice food!

We often visit the Crystal Palace as we live in Bath and it never fails to please. Today we went for lunch and it was outstanding. The good was perfect: I chose the herb crusted hake from the specials board and it was so tasty....

Everything is too expensive for the quality served. The service is practically non-existent even if the people present are charming and kind. We were served in 40 minutes for simple pesto pasta and gnocchi... the dishes were OK but not very elaborate, for the price it hurts. We were forgotten about dessert until we said we wanted more and boom, miraculously we went to the kitchen and they arrived. Unfortunately they were not good at all, bland crumble and soft pie crust, thanks to the microwave... We were offered a drink to compensate us but at 10/11 o'clock in the evening and after a long meal we had no longer hungry or thirsty so we refuse and therefore no other alternative is offered to us. They could have offered us the drinks already consumed but you have to believe that the house does not reimburse since you pay before eating... probably nice for a drink but not for eating.

Gorgeous place. Staff very polite and cheerful. We didn't have food but what we saw it looked delicious.
