The Curfew Ale House & Dining Room in Bath and North East Somerset

The food is exceptional, excellent value and The Curfew offers a warm, welcome with a professional edge that is above and beyond anything you experience in Bath.

Went for a meal. New chef. Mixture of Greek dishes and pub food. Blimey. Definite thumbs up. Was created by friendly pub staff. Food came and what a treat. Proper Greek food. Pub was busy with eaters. Some had to turn away as no tables free.

If you love your beer and great atmosphere this is the place. Very warm welcome by Mick and his team. Superb Greek evening meal with classic meals also available (but go Greek!).

The new kitchen at The Curfew exceeded my expectations. The Pork Souvlaki & The Kleftiko were delicious. The staff all worked together to make it a memorable experience. I’ll be back for the Sunday roast!!!!

Went to the Curfew on Wednesday evening with friends and had a delightful evening and amazing food. The pub is working in partnership with a Greek Chef from the Roasted Lemon and what a partnership it is! The food was delicious and my Lamb Kleftico was to die for. Friendly service and an overall great experience.

Such a lovely pub. Small, but with high ceilings and lovely windows. Since Mick took over last year, it's had a re-birth and is now buzzing 7 days a week. Food offering now very good - ribs, fish and chips, pie - all thoroughly recommended (easily best pie in Bath) and good range of beers and ciders. Prices reasonable. Service friendly and very efficient. It's my local and the only complaint I have is that I'm no longer guaranteed a seat if I wander in ad hoc!!! Well done Mick - this place could have easily have closed which would have been tragic.

Small and unassuming from the outside but I’m congratulating myself for going in and asking for a table. It was exceptionally busy but we were found a table and the staff were great. We got a menu and ordered food. Came quickly and was lovely. Attentive and friendly staff as well as dog friendly. We were staying just down the road on Cleveland bridge, and would definitely go back when we’re next in Bath.

Popped into the Curfew for Dinner . Not usually one for reviews but this deserves a mention. Food was great , the service was outstanding with a relaxed pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to you all for the fabulous evening.

This pub has been bought by Mick, the legendary landlord who used to run the Ring of Bells and the Ram. As expected he’s turned this pub into a gem (especially if you are a fan of Guinness) , which you tend to seek out at any given opportunity. On Friday we came for dinner: I started with the Calamari which his new chef has perfected with a stunning spicy sauce. For mains I had the Crab and Prawn linguine which was unbelievably good and my wife had the pie of the day which was exceptional. We finished off with a stunning Crumble and ice cream. Full marks to the chef - we’ll be back soon - and I hear there’s now steak night in a Wednesday! If you fancy a pint or a meal, this place is an obvious choice - although I’d advise to book ahead - because as soon as word gets out this is going to be very busy!

Popped in for a light lunch and a pint, trying there new menu. Chicken were wings excellent!!!!! Service from the bar staff always above and beyond.

We visited from Ireland for a Family Birthday and had a great night. The Curfew is a lovely pub and would highly recommend and the hosts were very hospitable

A very welcoming free house pub. Popped to watch Rubgy three tvs in pub, excellent beer and perfect pizza. Mic the new owner has created a wonderful atmosphere. Looking forward to the new menu which coming soon.

Great pub with extremely helpful landlord who helped fix our car that had broken down across the road. Fabulous homemade pizza, the best we’d eaten in a long time. Thank you for making us feel very welcome.

Great beer, great staff and Mick is probably the best landlord in Bath. If he can’t feed you he is quite happy for you to pop across the road, buy something and eat it in the pub with your drink (do clear it with him first!!!!). Great community support too.

Great pub, lovely and friendly, good beers and the land lord Mick is fab. Well worth s visit.... Though it may be difficult to leave!

Would certainly re visit next time i am in Bath, What a little gem. A traditional pub indeed friendly staff clean toilets and a good range of lagers and beers.

We had a good, but somewhat uneven Sunday roast at the Curfew in Bath, but this plase is excellent for the beer The place is nice inside, with attractive decor. It is a Wadworth Brewery pub so has their outstanding cask ales. They had a good range available when we were there and the 6X Bitter was in excellent condition, perfectly kept. The Sunday Best roast was very good but uneven. The roast beef was very good. The chicken was actually outstanding and the best of the meats. The pork was reasonably good but not great and the skin was badly overcooked and too hard. The veg and Yorkshires were good but the roast potatoes were exceedingly overcooked, hard and dry, as if they had been heavily cooked hard and then reheated to be be even harder. They were practically inedible. Staff was friendly.

Although we do not live locally and everything was organised over the phone, we immediately put our trust in Jamie with his "can do" attitude. The private upstairs room is perfect for private get togethers and the buffet was exceptional. Jamie and his team, chef, Erin and Caitlin deserve much praise for pulling off a very smooth family party for us. My lactose and gluten free dietary needs were professionally dealt with without issues. We highly recommend using this delightful pub for a private party.

Spent a lovely few hours here drinking with friends. Nice friendly pub with good seating areas inside and out front. Prices seemed very reasonable and the service very good. Plenty of free board games available to keep the competitive pub goers occupied.

Easily the best Sunday roast in Bath. Really good quality produce cooked perfectly. It is such amazingly good value as it is absolutely huge!!!! Lovely relaxed atmosphere with friendly,attentive staff. Overall fantastic. X

Hired the upstairs room for my 40th birthday party and had an incredible evening. The buffet was nothing short of exceptional, incredible sandwiches and a fine selection of top quality food on offer, I can honestly say I've never experienced a better buffet (and I do like a sandwich!). The staff were superb as ever and nothing was too much trouble, overall a great birthday made even better by a great pub and the lovely team.

This was the nearest pub to where a group of us were staying at the weekend - well, that was a piece of luck! Lovely pub, full of character, clean and airy. A very warm welcome from the young woman behind the bar, who was friendly and attentive. A very good selection of ales (essential for our party) and reasonably priced lunchtime food, which was tasty and of good quality. How it wasn't busier, I have no idea (perhaps the bridge works nearby has, sadly, had an effect). Please pop in if you are nearby - you won't be disappointed - and we need to save our pubs, especially great ones like this.

Just moved to Bath and have been discovering some of the great pubs in this wonderful city; the Curfew being one of them. Initially went for a bit of food and a few pints mid-week with no great expectations - I've moved from London and am used to food arriving on my plate via a Brakes lorry - but I was pleasantly surprised by my meal on that first evening and the host, Jamie, was friendly and warm, so I returned for a Sunday roast. As a sometime veggie I went for chicken roast lunch which was delicious. Roast chicken breast, roast spuds, parsnips, stuffing and well cooked sides; including a great cauliflower cheese. All served pleasantly and professionally in a lovely dining room. I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday roast at the Curfew and I thoroughly recommend it too.

Lovely Sunday lunch, plenty of food and kind staff! Would 100% recommend for food or just a drink! Great atmosphere and a hidden gem!

Great menu , good service and great atmosphere . We went for dinner with friend , 5 of us on a Tuesday night before Christmas and were really impressed . Good choice of food on the menu and include vegi/vegan/ options too . Puddings are amazing !

Visited recently with a large group of girlfriends during a trip to Bath. Booked ahead and pre-ordered food but no deposit required. The food was delicious - hot and home cooked and served really quickly. The staff were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. A thoroughly enjoyable visit - would highly recommend.

Me, my husband and 3 children went to the curfew today and what a lovely experience it was. The pub looks stunning with its Christmas arch and wonderful tree upstairs. We had a gorgeous Sunday roast there and what fantastic value for money. The meat...

Very friendly and obliging staff. Excellent Sunday lunch with generous portions. Good beer and all very reasonably priced. We went there because it was dog friendly.

A decent roast need delicious Yorkshire puddings, crunchy roast potatoes and tasty gravy. The Curfew’s roast not only provided all of this, but it also included a huge helping of cauliflower cheese, a pile of vegetables, roasted parsnips and a really tasty vegetarian alternative of...

My beers gone cold I'm wondering why, I look outside the massive upstairs window... Drank too much last blah blah blah. Just to be with Curfew.

We’ve eaten here lots of times so were excited to try the new roast menu. It certainly didn’t disappoint! The pork was perfectly cooked, roast potatoes were crispy and the cauliflower cheese was superb. It’s a great pub, lovely staff and a perfect place to...

Absolutely THE tastiest and filling roast I have had in Bath…and we go out every Sunday in search of the best! Well I’ve found it! Delicious gravy and cauliflower cheese. Beef was cooked perfectly. Chilled atmosphere, lovely staff. Would recommend booking.

Wonderful sunday lunch with visiting family. Very generous portion. 3 meat option was great. Nice pint of 6X. Very friendly staff

I came on a Sunday and ordered the beef roast. Portion sizes were fantastic, the food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Can’t recommend highly enough!

The Best Sunday Roast ever, apart from my wifes of course, with friendly and helpful staff. One not to be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great to catch the first new Curfew roast feels like the first proper Sunday in a long time. In a food coma ready for the F1 highlights later! Great food, service and ale.

The Curfew is such a friendly and welcoming pub with a great atmosphere. The food is delicious and their new Sunday roast is exactly what you want, great flavours and a perfect portion size! Cannot recommend this pub enough

Stumbled upon the Curfew last night and what a wonderful pub, warm friendly welcome, lovely clean pub and great food, nice atmosphere well worth a visit, dog friendly we will definitely be back

I arrived in Bath, weary from my travels. I walked into the curfew and was greeted by Jovial locals and friendly staff. I always start off with a local ale when in a public house. I do declare the beer in this establishment is kept...

A little gem on the edge of the city with a great selection of beers and excellent food Staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly

The Curfew went above and beyond for our wedding reception. They accommodated everything we needed and asked for including welcome mojitos and awesome pizzas. Could not fault the evening, everyone is still talking about how great it was including the top notch waiting staff who...

Great drinks, incredible work done to make the garden beautiful and superb pizza, friendly atmosphere with a great soundtrack.

Lovely relaxed pub! Beautiful decor and a very relaxing atmosphere! Well recommended! Thank You so much for an enjoyable experience.

En mis 5 años en Bath, es muy triste ver lo que le sucedió a este lugar; después de escuchar a amigos para evitarlo, les di el beneficio de la duda: error.Juraron a ciegas que son un dominio absoluto; no lo son, simplemente no querían que me pusiera en contacto con el gerente de área de Wadsworth.Es importante darse cuenta de que las buenas críticas son de cuando los increíbles Dan y Emily dirigieron el lugar: se fueron alrededor de septiembre de 2019, por lo que la mayoría de las críticas se basan en su pub, no en este desastre.Para finalizar una larga historia corta después de varias instancias "interesantes", el "propietario" me dijo que me fuera (después de pedir mi consejo anteriormente) cuando tomé una foto del bar vacío a las 8 pm un sábado.Cualquier gerente de Wadsworth es bienvenido a contactarme directamente. ¡Adjuntaré la foto que me echó!Fui al King William a 30 segundos de distancia, con un servicio y un ambiente increíbles, una lección aprendida.

We hired a room upstairs to hold a life drawing class on a hen do. Used on a Saturday morning. Room all set up in advance and a private area which was perfect. We were greeted on arrival by a very friendly bar man and...

All round good pub: well cooked pub food, good selection, very good beer, and very pleasant staff. What a pub should be!!

Wir haben Cider und Burger gehabt. Kann man weiterempfehlen. Unbedingt vorbeischauen wenn man in Bath ist.

We went to this pub for a Artist Portrait Session. The bar staff were exceptional and very friendly, great choice of Gins. Will defiantly revisit this pub the next time we are in Bath.

A nice place within easy reach of Bath city centre - you could say just on the outskirts but the city is pretty small. We went on a bank holiday Monday night - quiet as you might imagine. A friendly barmaid greeted us and they had a good range of beers and ciders. There was a nice cosy snug area to sit in and we chilled over a couple of tasty bar snacks. Had a good chat with a friendly local too.A good pub with a nice ambience and friendly welcoming vibe. Turns out a very quiet Monday night can be very welcoming, and not eerily dead.Would definitely come again.

Long ladies’ weekend to Bath, we stumbled upon this pub because we are too lazy to venture far from our apartment. We are so glad we did! We arrived in be and were greeted by the friendly lady behind the bar. Menus were brandished, drinks ordered and we scanned the menu for what gourmet delights awaited us. First off there is an entire section of vegetarian burgers. For every meat burger there is an alternative. You can even build your own burger. So much to choose from, never mind the other smaller bites. Not as starving as the others, I opted for the pan fried halloumi cheese with salad, chips and sweet chilli sauce. It was delicious. Two meaty burgers (St George and the Dragon and Smokey and the Bandit) across from me were inhaled and given the thumbs up. Washed down with a local brew, can't remember the name of it, we were a very happy table. We didn't get a chance to revisit for the rest of the weekend, but it's top of the list to eat in when we do go back. I need to try the rest of the vegetarian options.

Dropped in for a drink on a Friday night with the family. Very welcomed, had great beer and sat in the beer garden. Don’t walk past, call in.

We visited early Saturday evening for a burger meal, the food was of excellent quality as was the wine. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed and the service from the bar staff was good.

Really nice decor, good music, good selection of alcohol. They had crisps, nuts&other; savoury snacks. But the only reason why I’m giving it a 3 star is the bar lady’s attitude . She was unprofessional and impatient when I took my time to select what savoury snack I wanted (there was absolutely no queue behind me so her attitude had no justification).

Today I had the BEST roast dinner. The pork was so tender and my girlfriend had the mushroom Wellington, which was mouth watering! The service was immaculate, especially Emily, she was friendly and made sure all our needs were met! Literally the nicest place I've been. Really such wonderful people. Can't recommend enough!

If you like 90s Ibiza disco music and two faced people,

Popped in here as we came to Bath to see my younger brothers show. Arrives early and decided to go to the Curfew as it looked really inviting from outside. We were not disappointed as the staff were all really friendly and made us feel welcome without being intrusive. We had some bar snacks which were delicious. Mum and dad had beautifully presented g&t;'s with a choice of gin and they kindly made me a lovely hot chocolate - with a cheeky jammy dodger on the side. The whole place had a lovely decor scheme and the loos were really clean and nicely done - a nice change from most places! We will definitely be back for another visit when we come to Bath again. Thank you!

Fancied a meal out for a change and being local, have been meaning to visit here since it changed hands to find out how it’s doing. Always been rather fond of the curfew... it’s nice to see we can remain fond of it!

No puedo dar elogios suficientes para el trabajo duro y la atención que recibimos de Emily, Dan y su personal. Teníamos 60 cumpleaños de mi madre de fiesta en la sala de arriba que superó nuestras expectativas y fue una maravillosa noche que mi madre realmente disfruté. Desde el momento en que hice la reserva, Emily se aseguró de que se hizo todo lo posible para satisfacer todas mis peticiones, la comida, bebida y el servicio fue estupendo y el personal trabajó duro para asegurarse de que teníamos una maravilla.

We are visiting Bath to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were looking for somewhere local that served food. We could not of picked anywhere better. Lovely looking pub, very clean. Really friendly lady behind bar. Food was amazing. Generous portions and really reasonably priced. If you are looking for somewhere that offers 5 star quality and service then The Curfew is the place to go.

What a lovely find. Without a doubt my favourite pub and dining experience in Bath whilst visiting for the weekend. We enjoyed numerous well kept local real ales and dined on very good, wholesome comfort food from a wide menu choice. Emily, Dan and the...

Really lovely little pub we visited while in Barh for an evening. The landlady and landlord were very lovely people who gave us advice on where was good to go in the local area and we enjoyed a chat with them. Decor done to a...

Altamente recomendado. 40 de nosotros tomamos el barco río arriba desde Bristol y luego reservado la habitación de arriba, por la noche. Todo fue para planificar, personal amable y servicial, buena comida y cerveza, en general un lugar fantástico. Gracias a todos.

Fuimos a este pub por una actividad de despedida de soltera, pero el pub en sí era una delicia! ! ! El personal del bar era muy amable y servicial. La decoración en el pub es preciosa y hay muchos asientos. También hay un poco...

Es un pub y yo a menudo pasan en un mate de Domingo almuerzo en nuestro camino de un pub a otro. Hemos llamado en la ocasión rara y parece que ha cambiado de dueños de vez en cuando.

What a great place this is, beautifully refurbished with a traditional bar area, snugs between floors and beautiful rooms upstairs for a quiet drink or function. New owners have really got it spot on and a real 'must do' in Bath.

What a find! We stopped in while traveling to the Cottswolds. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. They gave us tips and info on the area. The food was delicious!

We hired the Curfew for my husband's 40th. It was a success. The managers went above and beyond to help us with the preparations. They kept in touch every step of the way and made such useful suggestions. On the actual day they were amazing. Always checking everything went smooth and talking to the suppliers to ensure they had everything they needed. I would totally recommend this place!! Big thanks to Dan and Emily.

Nice friendly bar staff. Manageress was lovely. Went early evening, nice mix of people there. Plenty of seating on more than one level.

Thoroughly enjoyed my last few visits - Dan and Emily are the most charming hosts. Tasty, unpretentious food, quality beer. Will be back!

I hired the venue room at the Curfew on Saturday and 40 family and friends all enjoyed the great atmosphere that the bar and venue room offer. The food, wine and beer choices are excellent and the bar staff friendly and helpful. Managers Emily and Dan are fab and delivered everything as promised. Overall a great pub which if you visit you will want to return

Since it's refurb in August last year, my partner have been regulars and love coming in for the great food and drink, plus excellent atmosphere. One of my favourite pubs in Bath.

The Curfew is welcoming locally Pub with great real ales, good atmosphere and a very friendly atmosphere. The Pub serves a good selection of food but tis the wide range of good ales and the friendly atmosphere that makes this a delight. Go for a drink, go for food, go to sit and read and watch the world go by - it has mood for all of your moods

Favourite pub in bath at the moment. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is great. It's nice to have a local brewery in bath.

Whilst staying in Bath over Christmas this became "our local". Great wines and beers, helpful lovely staff and even opened up the top room so we could watch the rugby! Had a meal too, best chilli ever had. Love to Tom and Bella!

Really nice atmosphere and the interior is lovely. Didn't go for food but the menu looked good and cheap for Bath.

I can't say enough great things about this venue, but here goes...Location - the pub is located on the cornor of London Road and Cleveland Place, really easy to find and an easy walk from the train station.Decor - The pub has been recently refurbished and has is very tastfully decorated in keeping with the period features. The pub feels warm and cosy without feeling cluttered.Service - Dan and Emilly run the pub, and they are amazing. Always on hand to help, were incredibilty accomodating and provided advise throughout the planning.Drinks - The pub is reasonably priced, the drinks were chilled with a nice selection of beers and wines. Dan and Emily were amazing and keeping our guest topped up throughout the night.We would definately host a party here again, and would recommend them without hesitation.

The Curfew has been in Bath for ages and has recently been through an upgrade and what is most excellent ( as Bill and Ted would say) is that they have managed to balance a friendly local atmosphere with great beer and some good food.This is the place to go on a cold winters night for excellent beers, friendly service and some comfort food. Staff are friendly, there is always space at the bottom of Walcott Parade its slightly out but has a dedicated following - I know I just became one.Great if you want a real pub with atmosphere

Most pubs allow you to e vape but it is polite to ask.Not the Curfew on a very quiet Monday night, where the landlady brusquely asked us not to. It soon became a discussion and due to the landlady's lack of "soft" management skills we agreed not to but soon left. Our table had the glasses cleared away and wiped down within 10 seconds of leaving which left us with a negative impression of their level of customer service.The pub has been refurbished with a great décor, very good beer and an interesting menu. It deserves to succeed where others have failed in a difficult location with close competition to where we adjourned to receive a warm welcome from Kernow and the landlord who was busy as always.

We really like the refurbishment! It's good to have some local ales only from Devises. They are very welcoming owners, super meal and great local pub! ☺

Beautifully refurbished, this is one of our local pubs and we will certainly be regular visitors. The redesign is the pub is exquisite with upgrades all around including the toilets and garden. The new owners and staff are very friendly and the food is excellent value for money with excellent portions and very tasty. This pub is an excellent stop for rugby goers for a meal and pint or even a stop off on the way back. The outside has been updated and looks fabulous. All in all a wonderful place to go with a warm welcome and very homely surroundings. Will definitely be recommending this little gem of a place.

A fresh new refurb, great hospitality and very comfortable surroundings to enjoy a proper pub lunch with tasy wine a conversation. I will be visiting again soon.

We were visiting Bath yesterday (Sunday) and after grabbing some food had a stroll around and passed 'The Curfew'. Slightly out of the tourist bustle (thankfully) the impressive high windows showed off a welcoming contemporary interior. A very well kept pint of Wadworth IPA and a glass of chilled Sav Blanc ordered, we sat and relaxed. A nice mixed crowd of locals were in the place. It became evident that Dan and Emily (landlord and landlady) had opened the place 2 weeks previously following a major refurbishment. The amount of locals over the course of the evening that popped in and made positive comments about its transformation was remarkable. Being our first visit, we had nothing to compare to- we loved the decor, original high ceilings and picture rail (hidden by a previous false ceiling!!!! You've got to love the 1970s), the unobtrusive music and most of all the welcome. Dan, Emily and the team are focussed on getting it right, and restoring a good pub to the community. They have a beer garden and a cool function room upstairs, which is used as a separate relaxing space, or a concealed screen is available for sports events. Surround sound too! No fruit machines .The toilets were spotless.The menu looked good- there were 3 separate groups eating when we were there- and Emily told us that it is their intention to focus on doing a less extensive menu really well, with locally sourced ingredients. There were a couple of snagging issues (wifi still to sort etc) but when these easy things are sorted, The Curfew will have completed its move to a welcoming, decent venue with a relaxed feel, great surroundings, great drink and food at a fair price within the community. When we visit a pub that we aren't local to, our yardstick is 'would we drink here if we were local?' In the case of The Curfew, we very much would. Give it a try- definitely recommended.

We've recently moved to Bath and were keen to visit The Curfew as its close to where we live. Our first visit is likely to be our last visit. We were treated with indifference by the woman serving - no welcome or friendly hello. She seemed keen to get the transaction over quickly so she could continue chatting to a group of people drinking at the other end of the bar. We were considering ordering food but after the welcome we decided to move on and enjoyed a lovely meal and friendly staff at The Pultney Arms

The Curfew Ale House Bath is now under new management. Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with all that's going on.

Terrible place. Stuart Kirkby is a very ignorant man , who only hears what he wants . Service is terrible. Would i recommend this place ?? No i would recommend somewhere that has good customer service . Can you hear me now?!?!?!?

A little gem of a pub just a short stagger from town. Sue the landlady is fantastic and will go out of her way to make sure your visit is pleasurable. Well worth a visit :)

What's happened to The Curfew? We went today for Sunday lunch and I have to say it was awful. We were a little bit late for our booking and due to unforeseen circumstances our party of 12 had reduced to 7. We got bad vibes about this from the bar staff straight away. We were sat in the lovely room upstairs only to realise that the speaker in the corner had fairly loud music coming from it and we couldn't hear each other talking. When asked if it could be turned down and a rather sulky waitress turned it down slightly, only to turn it back up again! We then ordered our food. We waited an hour. We even had to ask twice if it was ready. We had 3 children with us, and two elderly people and we were all getting really hungry. When it finally arrived, the beef was over cooked and tasteless, the yorkshires were burnt and my chips were undercooked. It was such a disappointing experience, we almost walked out at one point we were waiting so long. I'm not one to particularly moan about this sort of thing, but it was that bad an experience I felt I had to! Won't be going back.

So this is our default for Sunday lunch - purely because it's cooked to perfection! The beef is beautifully done (just pink in the middle), yorkshire puddings are HUGE, crispy roast potatoes, lots of veg (including cauliflower cheese)... and in such generous portions you won't need any food for the rest of the day!Also, their other lunches are delicious, and they have games you can play (scrabble etc), papers to read, a very good selection of ales and ciders, quiz nights... basically its one of the best pubs in Bath.Go here.

Called in to Bath to get a table from an Antique shop round the corner and spotted the Curfew. Called in and had a great pint of Wadsworth and a 6x and steak pie, partner had the mushroom stroganoff, each cost £8.95 and were tasty and filling. If I lived locally I would be back to try out the dining room upstairs.

I have eaten at The Curfew a few times recently in the evening and it has never disappointed, but it has just excelled for Sunday lunch. We were a table of eight and everyone had a fantastic meal and the vegetables were a brilliant choice of sweetcorn, celeriac mash (which must have had a secret ingredient because it was so tasty), french beans, cauliflower and broccoli. It was busy, so word must be spreading of just how good the place is and such good value.

We stopped by on a recent day visit to Bath and were really pleased with the overall quality. The staff were highly efficient and friendly and the food was exceptional. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
