The Herd Steak Restaurant in Bath and North East Somerset

Had lunch here on 21/03/25 and food was excellent. Got the sharing platter. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Great flavour. Sauces and garlic butter were also great. Had sticky toffee pudding for dessert which again was insane especially with the crunchy toffee drizzle on the top. My only criticism would be the twice cooked chips. Appreciate they're twice cooked but I thought there were a bit overdone. Overall excellent meal. Service was great. Highly recommend.

A buzzing, small boutique restaurant specialising in steak. And delicious it was. We had the sharing board of fillet, ribeye and sirloin...with a red wine reduction and blue cheese sauce...onion rings and delicious fries. With a side of garlic mushrooms and seasonal vegetables. The food, and service was incredible and attentive and a special experience with genuine attentiveness in a romantic but busy basement setting. Atreat for a special occasion Top marks

Service from Ewelina was brilliant. Good as ever was fantastic. A lovely time was had by are party of 4.

Stunning... best steak since our trip to Usa...amazing service and atmosphere... we will be back! Faultless

Excellent service, friendly and professional staff and a perfectly cooked steak

Great steak, great service! Karl was attentive and hospitable. It was worth climbing down the stairs. Sides were lovely too.

Went in for lunch. Their lunch offering (Steak Frites for £20) has certainly gone up over the years, but the quality remains excellent. Had a lovely experience with excellent food looked after by Ewelina who was great. Cannot recommend the steak in Herd highly enough!

Service was lovely. The waiters were smiley and welcomed us nicely. We loved the food, from the starter to the main. We would love to visit this place anytime we come for a holiday here in Bath. 😊👌🏾

This was our second visit. The first was over a year ago. When we arrived Karl recognized me and remembered us visiting previously, which is quite amazing as such a long time had past. The food was once again fantastic.

Great food (quite reasonably priced), good service, and some nice touches as they knew we’d gone for our wedding anniversary.

Amazing food and great service !! Karl and Ewelina were so lovely. Would recommend and can’t wait to go back again soon :)

The food was amazing, the quality of steaks were great and the service from Karl was great. Would definitely recommend!

Great food, friendly service despite how busy it was, some nice touches as they knew it was for our wedding anniversary.

We had booked a table to celebrate my birthday, as we had been recommended by three different people to come here. We were going to go for the sharing platter, but we were told when we arrived that they had ran out. This was understandable as it was Valentine’s weekend. We selected the equivalent and boy was it amazing. Service was also amazing! They gave us a shot of limoncello each as a way of saying happy birthday which I thought was a nice touch! Will deffo be also recommending this place to others who wish to make a trip to Bath!

Truly worth a visit . Josh, our server was excellent , and the food was exceptional. The steaks were cooked as per our wishes to perfection , and the starters left us wanting more .

We both had the porterhouse and they were cooked to perfection. Very tasty! The garlic potatoes were amazing too - and I'm not a huge potato fan. Service was also excellent and the meal was very well priced. Good choice of background music which really enhanced the atmosphere. Overall, very impressed.

We love the cosy, romantic feel of the restaurant. All the food is reliably amazing every time, particularly the steak. Service is prompt and polite, and we felt well looked after.

Amazing food and good service, cannot fault.

Really nice place and the food was exquisite.

Went for lunch with my wife on valentines day. The chap that was on duty (Karl) was so lovely and attentive. He was knowledgeable and respectful of our space. We opted for the sharing experience which i would recommend to any who ask. The 3 cuts of steak (fillet, ribeye & sirloin) were all cooked impeccably. The sauces (we chose bernaise and red wine jus) were delicious the onion rings were outstanding massive, crispy and not at all oily. We opted to add the seasonal vegetables which consisted of carrots, broccoli and leeks and were a welcome addition. We managed to squeeze in some puddings which again were beautiful. I've already recommend this place to some friends and am already looking forward to getting back for a dinner date.

My third team eating here and the quality of the food, and the exceptional service have never waivered - this is no fluke - this IS a place to eat. so grateful to Karl, Ewelina and the whole team for another fantastic dining experience. See you next time!

Quality steak cooked perfectly at a very reasonable price. The peppercorn sauce was delicious too. The waiter Karl was knowledgeable and friendly, he was right to recommend the chocolate mousse! It was somehow light but not too aerated.

The Herd steak restaurant is quite possibly my all time favourite steak restaurant. The food was absolutely incredible and reasonably priced. The wine was amazing and the customer service was incredible. The waiter was very informative on how much we should order as we went for a sharing plater and it was a perfect amount! The restaurant is situated in a very cool located - sort of underground! The sauces were also amazing and the onion rings were delicious. I will definitely be returning!

The steaks are so goooood! Love the taste of each steak in the sharing platter. Karl is very nice and can speak Chinese quite well! As a Chinese I felt welcomed. Gonna come here again!

We had the steak platter. Amazing food perfectly cooked. Waiter professional and friendly.

One of the best steaks we’ve ever had. The peppercorn sauce was to die for. We’ll remember this platter for a long time. The stuff was also very friendly, and the atmosphere was great for a celebratory dinner. We’ll be back to Bath just for The Heard!

High recommend a visit to Herd restaurant, I tried for the first time yesterday after visiting the roman baths. The food/steaks were out of this world. I was accompanied by guests from Italy and they were also blown away with the food quality.....

The best steak I've had in a long long time, absolutely lovely.Next time we're in Bath we'll be back...

Best steak I've had in a while. Staff and atmosphere was amazing and very quaint. 🤩🤩🤩

Went here whilst taking my wife for a short stay in Bath. Thank you The Herd Restaurant for such a lovely evening. Steak to die for. Possibly the nicest staff. If you get the chance, a must visit. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.

The steak restaurant, The Herd, is located in Bath City. They serve locally sourced, extra mature steaks from a herd of Angus and Hereford crosses, and provide excellent service. We always come here when we visit Bath, and I highly recommend it." 🥩🍷

Thank you for making a lovely evening

Absolutely sensational steaks, great service and lovely ambience. Made for a lovely experience during our trip to Bath.

The best steak I’ve had for a long time, superb!

We had a great dinner meal here at Herd Bath. We order a steak in plate and the sharing platter. Very delicious and was so good. Everything about it was perfect. The place quiet and nice. I highly recommend this steak restaurant anyone visiting Bath.

What a lovely place. Truly a hidden gem

A perfect steak, beautifully cooked and rested, and with delicious fries. Thank you to Josh for welcoming us and making sure we had everything we could want.

Food was cooked to perfection and served quickly. Service was incredible thanks to a very friendly and sophisticated waiter. Atmosphere was very intimate and relaxed. Food was reasonably priced, well worth a visit.

A small restaurant with great food, service, and atmosphere. Pricing is what you would expect from a high quality steak restaurant, and it is definitely worth it.

The steak was cooked just perfectly! I’ve tried two steak houses in London, but neither served the same quality as this one!

The Herd is a charming restaurant in Bath that specialises in local steak. They offer a wide choice of different cuts. The steak sauces are not to miss as they complement the steaks beautifully. Steaks are always cooked perfectly to your request here. The service is always exceptional, thank you to our server Karl who went above and beyond. We ordered: 2x 10oz Ribeye with extra marbling (medium) Peppercorn Sauce Onion Rings Rosemary and Garlic potatoes.

We ordered the herd's legendary sharing platter when we went. It was a great opportunity to try their array of local steaks and their amazing steak sauces. I really recommend the peppercorn sauce which was incredibly smooth and creamy. I should note that the restaurant, while well located, is quite warm as it is in the basement of a building but it is well decorated and a lovely place to spend a date night or a special occasion.

Had a wonderful time and the food was excellent. The best steak I have ever had.

Love steak, have eaten alot of steak and the fillet I had here was the best so far. Absolutely amazing food with great service. Thank you

Phenomenal steaks. One of the best we have ever eaten. Amazing desserts as well... not to be missed! Great service.

Only thing I didn't like was the service charge that is automatically applied to your bill. I like to tip when based on the experience, not have that presumed. Food was nice, not mind blowing. Service was excellent at first, slow when filling up.

As part of a planned pre-Christmas break we researched Steak restaurants in Bath, settling on the The Herd. I’d strongly suggest you book ahead as we wouldn’t have got a table otherwise! We consider ourselves something of Fillet Steak nerds, I will refrain from claim in my to be experts but let’s just say we’ve experienced many over the years!! So, is this place any good? Yup. Simple as that. My wife always orders her fillet “Medium” which more often that not is perfect for me too, but on occasion I will order “Medium-Rare” for myself just to compare them and sure enough this time hers was cooked-through just that extra bit! You struggle to beat Herefordshire or Aberdeen Angus Beef, it’s great quality. Our steaks had excellent flavour. Staff were found to be friendly and attentive.

Fabulous steak place. Service was attentive helpful and super friendly. The food was delicious. We had ribeye steaks with creamed spinach and chips. The meat was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend.

Had a great birthday meal here. Our waiter Karl went out of his way to make it special, singing happy birthday and bringing us a a small desert. The food was as good as usual and I recommend the sharing platter and the mushroom and brandy sauce. The other sauces are good but not as good.

"A wonderful experience at Herd. We enjoyed the sharing platter where the Ribeye was the star, followed by the sirloin leaving the fillet to round off an exceptional trio of steaks. The onion rings where decadent being both crispy and chewy. The twice cooked fries were perfectly done. Service from our waiter, Josh was excellent. Can't wait to return."

Our server Karl was really welcoming and attentive. The food was amazing and really reasonably priced!! This was our second time in Bath and second time at the herd, we will definitely be back!

Great place for steak. Karl very friendly. Highly recommend 👌

Had the best time at the Herd! The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the steak was spectacular and the blue cheese sauce will definitely surprise you (in a good way). Special shoutout to Josh and Karl :)

Ordered the sharing platter for two. Beautifully cooked steaks with delicious sides. Really excellent meal, service and atmosphere all for a decent price. Hope to be back soon!

Excellent well cooked steaks , impeccable service

Amazing food, top notch service and a warm, cosy atmosphere. Would particularly recommend the sharing board. We had it between two and it was delicious.

We had an amazing meal in a beautiful setting. One of the best steak restaurants we have been to. Quality food and exceptional service.

Highly recommended place, book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Hidden treasure in Bath, a great set up with top quality food and even better service. The waiter was knowledgeable and the manager was top class, coming to check on us throughout the meal making sure everything was satisfactory, every step of the way. We had Ribeye steaks with an excellent Malbec and it was perfect. A must go when in Bath!

An excellent steak dinner in a fascinating little restaurant, it feels like a bit of a labyrinth getting down the stairs to it but trust me that it's worth it! We had mini Caesar salads to start that were so fresh and tasty, I had the porterhouse with twice-cooked chips and the blue cheese sauce that was cooked perfectly, and the blue cheese sauce was perfectly balanced! My wife had the ribeye with the garlic mushrooms and garlic butter sauce to equally raving review! The service was friendly and fast, and the food was great. We will definitely consider coming back if we're in the area again!

Quite expensive. For what we had served to us a mediocre plate of over cooked chips and the onion rings were over done and hard.steak was cooked correctly. But when you are spending 120plus for two plates of food.you expect a little something special.but sadly this was not the case. Won't be a returning customer.

It’s a bit of a mission from God to get to the restaurant - more steps than you can shake a stick at 😁 but it’s well worth it - Excellent food, steak was magnificent and the service great. If you want fillet steak eat at the Herd.

Delicious steak. We had the sharing platter for 2, which was cooked beautifully. Service was good until the end when I had to ask for the bill 3 times.

The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about the different cuts of meat without being snooty about it like some other fancy steak places can be. They were great at advising about gluten free options and even put a little birthday candle in my fiancé's pudding for him. The food was just ridiculously delicious, lovely pinot grigio, great atmosphere- a real gem! If you're celebrating something and want somewhere that feels upmarket yet intimate this is the place. Serious food coma afterwards in the best way, strongly recommend the peppercorn sauce and wearing your loose trousers 🤣🥰

the steak was fantastic and wonderful, only i was in a super rush couldn’t have other dishes anymore….. and plus the staff Josh is super friendly!

It starts with the cozy atmosphere and just gets better….Truffle fries are amazing! The tender juicy were steaks cooked perfectly and the mushroom sauce is exquisite! Wonderful service!!

The best Steak I have ever had. 👍🏻

Excellent meal. Great service service charge added to bill but was explained that it was optional. Revisited didn't disappoint. Highly recommended.

Great food, steak cooked to perfection friendly staff, great portions

We both had a beautiful meal at The Herd. The Steak Platter was delicious and would highly recommend. However my favourite was the chefs homemade chocolate mousse! We will definitely be returning.

Steak platter was the best recommend it

When ever we are in Bath we always go to The Herd. This is our favourite steakhouse and we wish we could visit more often! All the staff are very attentive and make your meal even more enjoyable! I do suggest that you book a table as The Herd is very popular. We booked early on a Monday and by the time we left the restaurant was full! We will definitely be returning!

Cellar restaurant that really knows how to do a steak!

Absolutely lovely place to enjoy exquisite food and wine selection, and on top of everything else very friendly and welcoming service. Thank you very much, indeed.

My partner and I booked a table at 21:00 on a Friday, despite the late booking the restaurant was full making a nice vibrant atmosphere. We had Josh, Karl and Ewelina look after us and made the meal all the more enjoyable! We had the steak sharer platter and despite the photo making it look small it made us full to the brim. The steak was cooked to perfection and the chips were phenomenal. Would 100% recommend and would eat again!

Omg!...hands down one of the best steaks I've ever ever had!!...I was actually sad when I finished it!..😂...my partner and I booked in on the 25/10/24, after we read some reviews and we can honestly say that we are so glad we got to experience this place. If you go to Bath and you love steaks, then this is the place to go!!...Amazing food, fantastic service, and a great atmosphere...☺️☺️☺️

Brilliant meal and great service from Karl. Would definitely recommend for a date night.

Probably the best steak meal anywhere,we had the sharing platter we were assured by Karl they wouldn’t be offended if we didn’t finish it,we did it was lovely staff are excellent very friendly will definitely return.

We had a brilliant lunch at Hers this Saturday. The team, Karl and Josh were fabulous and very welcoming. The cocktails were great, my husband loved his old fashioned. We had the sharing platter with our kids plus a few extras (which was wise as we hardly got a look in). Honestly, we love a steak and this platter was simply delicious, the fillet and rib-eye were knockout. We have already started planning our next day out as we are dreaming of that melt in the mouth fillet. It’s was all amazing and the desserts were also fantastic . We will be back soon. Thanks guys

Only go to this restaurant if you are ready to be very well attended and eat a steak so good that just the smell would be able to convert a vegan

Beautiful, cosy spot for a romantic dinner! Service by Josh was amazing, great drink selection and food was so tasty! My partner had the rib eye and I had chicken, both was cooked perfectly. Would 100% recommend and would return if we were in Bath again

The herd is my favourite steak restaurant, I have been several times and if I feel like eating out here's the place. When people ask where my favourite place is to eat I tell them here. I describe the environment, how quaint and welcoming it is. The exciting slogans as you walk down the stairs into the restaurant, not to mention the food. The steak is unreal, all types I recommend, always cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The servers are always lovely. Today we had Karl, very pleasant, checked in and made sure our time there was perfect. I can definitely understand why so many people adore it here, the service, the food, the environment, in the heart of bath with a heart of it's own! Forgot to take a picture before we started but many thanks none the less!

Booked this place for my wife and I having read many of the positive reviews. We both enjoyed a great meal (sharing platter), with great atmosphere and service. Would definitely recommend.

Best steak I've ever had, and I've had a lot! Everything was perfect. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This is the first review I have ever bothered to do. The food we had last night was absolutely fantastic. One of the very best meals I have had . Staff were very good and the atmosphere in there was nice . Couldn’t recommend this place enough

Lovely food and friendly staff. Steak amazing. So was the rice pudding!

Great service and even better Steaks.

Got exactly what we expected Service team were great - very pleasant and knew the menu, wine list etc

Amazing steaks, we had the sharing platter and loved it

This was a phenomenal meal. Our waiter Karl was particularly amazing and enhanced our experience with his service. This fillet steak was delicious, and we will definitely be coming back next time we go to Bath.

Recently came here for my partners birthday. It was a perfect meal with great food and friendly, attentive waiting staff. The steak sharing platter was excellent. Would highly recommend a visit!

Fantastic meal, excellent service. We were made to feel very welcome and the food was just delicious. Will definitely be back!

The steak was absolutely fantastic. Peppercorn sauce was to die for. Chocolate mousse was even better! Lovely and wonderful place. 100% would come back in a heartbeat

Fabulous steak, excellent service, cozy location

The restaurant was very busy, but food and service were great. Highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant cannot fault anything.

Very delicious steak, you must order the Starter Board to start the meal, and Absolutely blue cheese sauce for the steak, it will surprise you

We had a fabulous steak dinner! Such a great place to eat. I highly recommend it!

We came to The Herd without any expectations as we have been disappointed with steaks across Cornwall and Cotswold. We ordered the share platter medium rare and the meat was cooked to perfection. The only criticism would be that it was hard to distinguish between the two sauces, pepper-corns and mushroom and brandy. The rocket and parmesan salad paired well providing some colour to our plates. The Cab Sav went very well with the dish. Overall 10/10!!!

Me and my wife went for a at herd to celebrate our wedding anniversary,amazing food,fantastic venue and great staff will we return highly recommended.

Sharing steak platter was absolutely delicious. The platter consists of Steak fillet, sirloin and ribeye which were all perfectly cooked. Along with the platter you can choose 2 sauces to fit your taste and change the listed side for something else from the list. Ewelina was also super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend it
