The Huntsman in Bath and North East Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited for a Sunday roast, if you book ahead you are seated upstairs which is much nicer than the pub downstairs. Good service and the food was very tasty and nice and hot!

My son and I were taking a tour of Bath and our guide suggested that stopping in to the Huntsman for a quiet drink was worth it. Boy, was it ever! The barman offered me free samples of ale, as I had not tried any of the cask ales they offered. I settled on Fuller's London Pride. My son, being underage, settled for still water. The atmosphere of The Huntsman is incredible: it feels like you're hanging out in someone's living room instead of a business! There are even games and books on the shelves to entertain yourselves! We never felt rushed and probably could have spent the entire afternoon if we hadn't had to get back on the tour bus. Highly recommended!

Very poor over priced meal, burger was frozen, squid cost £10.50 and the portion was tiny! Club sandwich was made with what tasted like stale white bread. Not worth the price at all.

One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had!

Had drinks in the very nice beer garden. Lovely old pub in the centre of Bath. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks. Food looks good but didn't eat this time.

We visited beautiful Bath Sunday 11th August 2024. Fancied a Roast Dinner so chose The Huntsman Pub. The food was delicious, so tasty!!! The best Roast we had eaten for ages. It was perfect. The service was excellent too. A lovely pub.

For me, it was ok. My husband ate meat, really good but I ate a cesar salad and my chichen was too hard to eat 😫 almost 🔥.

Out of four or five variations of fish and chips, the ones at The Huntsman were far and away the best. This was recommended to us by Oz, our tour guide at Tailored Tours, as a great place for fish and chips. They did not disappoint! (The youngest in our group stuck to the cheeseburger and gave it high marks as well.)

literally the most gorgeous meal i have had in a long time, staff were lovely too!

We had a lovely meal and watched the Euros, with very friendly service especially from the tall bartender with the beard and the man bun, wearing Hawaiian shirt. Thank you!

Had a really great experience, the Sunday roast was gorgeous. The staff are all lovely, especially Dillon who was very friendly and gave speedy service. Highly recommend for a great atmosphere and even better food!

I recently came to The Huntsman for a dear friends leaving drinks. He loves Double Decker chocolate bars, I spent the entire day gifting him multi packs in increasingly funnier circumstances. He wasn't expecting the final pack at the pub. I smuggled another pack in and asked the staff if they could wait 10 minutes and bring the pack over to the table. The staff Jess and Rosa improvised. They brought them out on food trays minutes apart, which added to the humour and confusion! Finished by a pint glass filled with Double Deckers 🤣 They made it an unforgettable day, best place in town!

Me and my partner had lunch here and can recommend the service and food we enjoyed last Saturday. Although busy and clearly a popular choice, there was plenty to choose from and the food and drink was great. Great atmosphere, service, food, and drink!

Great atmosphere, great staff, great hospitality. Would definitely go back

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and round amazing place to relax

Great food service and excellent staff especially the manager who is very approachable and helpful

Perfect beer selection atmosphere and food

Can't comment on Food, didn't have any,Good selection of Beers,though it did cost me £5.75p a pint,normally pay no more than £3.75p for strong ale in South Wales, but it was a Decent pint in a nice Establishment on a miserable wet Saturday in June

Great fish and chips. Good location.

When we come to the UK we always look for a Sunday roast in a typical pub The Huntsman is a beautiful location. We had a window table on a fabulous sunny day Great menu Our waitress was a gem Sadly the food took over an hour to arrive after we ordered My ‘pink’ roast beef was so over cooked it was too tough to cut. They found some vaguely pink off cuts but they were stringy and cold Could have been so good but the kitchen needs a real shake up

Good place for traditional fish and chips.

Amazing little spot. The staff were more than helpful and friendly with our questions about the rest of our evening, and the beer was obviously great. A pub that looks just like the movies.

Lovely establishment and beautifully decorated. I arrived Saturday afternoon in the midst of a nearby semi-final rugby game (the roars of the crowd was incredible) and was promptly seated and served with the upmost care. I enjoyed my first UK Fish & Chips and sticky toffee pudding here! The fish was huge and nicely beer battered. The platter was flavorful and delightful with the juice of a lemon and the tartar sauce. So delicious! I look forward to returning to Bath to explore more of Jane Austen's life and dining here again.

We decided to have our last dinner here, Sat evening. It wasn't busy when we came, early dinner. Nice cozy atmosphere. We were seated on the 2nd floor with a window view. Friendly service. Good food. The fish was large, crispy on the outside and light and flaky on the inside. Very surprised with the peas..hint of mint to it gives it a nice flare. The sausage platter was delicious.

Good food and service. Unfortunately after paying the bill and looking at it again later noticed a 12.5% surcharge added. Didn't see any notice of this and if l had l would have questioned it. Spoilt the evening somewhat. Also beer prices expensive aimed at tourist l would imagine not locals .

This place gets anything above a one star because the wait staff was keen enough to get us a pint on the house because the food took an hour to arrive while the previous table, a party of 10, got their food instantaneously. The chicken roast was divided among two tiny bits of unnoticeable breast chunks overcooked to look like puff pastry and the pork roast was equally dry. I’m almost sorry to say, this was a sincerely bad meal. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone .

A perfect location near Abbey Gardens to sit either outside or inside. A great range of beers especially London Pride and very welcoming staff. Well worth a visit when in the city.

I booked a table for lunch for myself and three visitors from the US. They were hoping for a proper 'English pub lunch' type experience, and I have to say that the Huntsman did a great job on every level. The staff were efficient and friendly, the service was spot on, and the haddock and chips with minted peas was unbeatable, genuinely the best cooked piece of haddock I have ever eaten. Absolutely delicious. OK, there could have been a few more chips on the plate (for a hog like my good self), but this really was a faultless lunch. Perfect. Well done!

Nice building. Big L shaped room. Large TV on the wall. Wooden floors throughout. Toilets were clean. A few tap beers and a couple of real ales available. Large animal head on the wall. Staff were friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere. Beer was good. Enjoyed my visit.

Visited for a work event. Nice room upstairs with a private bar. Slightly on the expensive side but not to far off the mark for the city. Staff helpful and organised. Worth a visit if you like the look of the menu.

Wow. It’s just an ordinary pub surrounded by others. Ordered a lager and a wine £21 ! Apparently Sauvignon is a premium wine so £13 a glass and the pint £8. Unbelievable - it’s not London chaps!

We held our wedding reception in the Elder Rooms at the Huntsman and had a really great time. It was the perfect setting for us to celebrate with friends and family. We pre-selected food from the banqueting menu and everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were all fantastic, and throughout the run-up to the event we had regular communication with the events coordinator, who was very friendly, organised, and easy to work with. The whole package was great value for money, and we would like to thank everyone at the Huntsman for helping to make our day so special. We are looking forward to coming back for a meal on our anniversary!

Perfect pint, great service & dog friendly

Stepped in on a Sunday evening looking for a classic pub roast dinner with only a few minutes to spare before the kitchen closed!The barman, Charlie, couldn’t have been more accommodating. Great meal, nice wine to accompany it and excellent service! Will definitely be back.

My husband and I just finished eating here on 14-April and honestly our experience was TERRIBLE. We are Americans visiting family and just coming up from a wedding in Cornwall. We were tired and hungry, hadn't eaten all day. It was 5:45pm when we walked in. It took nearly 40 minutes to get our food! I had the Sunday Roast which was alright. My husband wanted fish and chips but they were out of it so he sadly settled for the tough flavourless steak which was supposed to have mushrooms but came with none. When we told the service staff they acted like he ate them all and they could put I an order for the mushrooms. Ridiculous! £30 for an utterly rubbish steak and ill-mannered staff plus the audacity of adding a tip to the bill. Avoid at all costs.

We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc based on it being the first one on the wine list at £28. We were given (without any warning) their ‘house’ Sauvignon for £38!!! It does NOT specify ‘house’ on the menu and the barmaid did not ask me which Sauvignon I would like. The manager told me that it was their standard procedure to give the £38 bottle. BEWARE! The manager was kind enough to give us a complimentary glass of Prosecco each as way of apology but I do think their policy needs to change.

Have been here a few times. The food is very good. Would highly recommend the sausage and mash! Definitely worth stopping in.

Loved the place and the excellent service. We visited with our nieces and the dog, and all were welcome there. It was the bank holiday weekend so we expected everywhere to be busy but we did manage to find a table here. The spread of the menu was great and they have a kids menu. I went for the pie and mash which tasted good. The pricing was average. Special call out to the gentleman who served us and found a table, he also gave treats to our dog. Highly recommended for a pub meal if you're in the area!

The beer I had was of very poor quality. The pubs location probably allows for a slack attitude to the keeping of their ale.

Good drinks and friendly staff. No wait at all.

Very busy. Very loud. But still good service

usual good value for money but too noisy for us

Great meal and staff couldn’t recommend highly enough Thank you for a great experience

Fantastic food and great service, thank for a good evening

Had the Sunday Roast whilst visiting Bath for the day , amazing food , excellent young waitress, and a lovely atmosphere

Lovely pub,yummy small plates little bit on the Small Side

We enjoyed a delicious roast dinner in this great pub, the service was great and the waiter communicated well as he informed there was a slight wait for the chicken and provided updates. Thank you!

Very tasty Sunday roast in a calm environment. The huntsman offered a very good dinner experience. Tasty food hood vine and friendly service

Can't praise The Huntman and its wonderful team enough. This is a handsome historic pub in the heart of the city, very 'Bath'. My choir had a private dinner in the upstairs function room after singing in the Abbey. There were nearly 50 of us but there was plenty of room in that lovely space, with its real log fire and piano - just what we needed for our after dinner sing. The food was excellent and very efficiently served by the super team, even though it was a busy Saturday night. We loved it and want to thank the team for providing such a perfect venue and wonderful service.

Hunted a delectable pint of Somerset’s finest, cheers

Really great food and the atmosphere was just beautiful! The reason I'm taking away a star is because it took 40 minutes to get our food. We put our order in at noon and there were a total of five people in the whole place, the two of us included. At 12:40pm, we inquired as to when our food would be out, as it was a burger and fish sandwich. They told us they only had one cook, so it was taking longer than usual. That's a REALLY long time for that amount of food. When we were leaving, a whole bunch of people came in. I feel for them if it took 40 minutes to deal with five people when the place filled up.

Friendly staff, friendly pub in a friendly town!

I deliver here and the staff are amazing

Lovely food. Sat upstairs. Second time. Nothing to not like. Pet friendly too. 10/10

Lovely place, lovely food, expensive prices (but I'm still living in the 20th century when it comes to prices!!).

The staff were great and the pub is super cozy. I really want to emphasise that the atmosphere is great! The food wasn’t the best- salt and pepper squid was super oily, flimsy and not the tastiest. The nachos were just covered in jalapeños with a pretty stingy serving of guacamole and salsa. I’d definitely recommend coming here for drinks but not food.

The Huntsman was a very busy vibrant pub. In hind sight probably wouldn't have booked it knowing there was 2 flights of stairs to get to the restaurant part. When we phoned to ask about toilets we told they were on the same level, which they were but wasn't informed about the stairs!! Not ideal for a person with mobility difficulties. Food was ok, I would say overpriced for a Sunday roast

We came here several times during our stay in Bath and the service was excellent every time. Great drinks and atmosphere.

Shocking poor service because understaffed, long wait for food and food portion not good. Pity because in a great location. Every other table tense and not enjoying the time either.

Excellent view from second floor

These people cook their food in RAPESEED OIL, which is highly allergenic. I was ill in bed for three days afterwards. Be warned!

Good sized pub in the centre of Bath, didn't try the food but the menu looked good and friendly service

What a lovely bar!! We stopped in for a drink, whilst wandering around Bath looking at the sites. We ended out staying for a few as the porter on draught was amazing and they make a great cosmopolitan. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. The building itself is a charm too. Definitely worth the full 5 stars.

Am ordinary pub, busy, had to wait yo sit down. Its ok

Cute pub that serves delicious food! The fish and chips was really delicious and the chicken thigh stew was also excellent. The curry was not bad either. Good selection of ale. London Pride was easy for the palate.

Very good atmosphere yet we're go back there again ☺️

Love this pub, always a nice atmosphere, good variety of spaces, and lovely and warm on a winters eve. Have been several times and will keep going. And great food!

Our 2nd works Christmas do here. Given there 25 of us and a couple of other parties at the same time service was good the food excellent.

I'm sure its nice but.....I tried calling ahead three times at 19h, so we decided to stroll through, some staff abit crumpy and it was full, made it clear they were fully booked and would not be taking further bookings. Anyway moved on and found past the KFC a few places that weren't full and had a great meal... Next time I call a place to book and no answer I won't even bother going there.

Stopped for a pint and it was very pricey, even for a tourist place. The lady at the bar was lovely though and very friendly.

Dinner had to be sent back twice. Once it was cold, like veg not even warm. took over 20mins for replacement to come. Manger didn't say anything just ignored us. Second time, they'd overcooked it, totally inedible. By then it was nearly 10pm! Not once did the manager approach with apologies left it to the poor waitress. Very unprofessional and I'd definitely discipline that manger. It was just awful and I must say I was surprised.

We only came to this pub because our first choices were fully booked for Sunday lunch. However we were very glad we did! We were upstairs, in a very comfortable environment. Fabulous staff member ( I think he was the manager) served us a superb Sunday roast. Totally recommend.

This is a real English pub absolutely loved the decor and the atmosphere. Nothing was to much trouble, we asked if we could have a window seat and that was no problem for the staff. My daughter asked if she could have extra gravy and again not a problem. Would definitely go back the only downside was they charge a service charge and this a pet hate of mine ! If I wish to to tip then it should be my decision not automatically put on my bill.

Very busy before the rugby. COYB

Christmas lunch menu with friends. Excellent food that the whole party enjoyed. The service and staff were brilliant. Well done.

Have been here a few times now. 1st time for being seated upstairs in the restaurant. Lovely clean decor very friendly staff down in the bar and up in the restaurant. Even tho we only wanted a lunchtime snack we could still eat up in the restaurant. Really recommend the fishfinger sandwiches served with chips as well. Also the tomato and basil soup well seasoned Thankyou for making yet another visit so lovely

Lovely lunch. Wings and Squid for starters. We all had Haddock and chips for lunch

Ricevimento di un matrimonio in questo pub dei sogni! Bello da fuori, bello dentro, servizio impeccabile, cucina discreta. Birra a fiumi. Stratoooooooop!

Cute pub, really good gluten free (gf) sandwich! I enjoyed the onion and cheese, wish I could go back for another! Nice bartender and enjoyed the pint.

The venue itself is beautiful. Really lovely pub as so many are in Bath. Unfortunately the reception we had from the girl on the bar downstairs was unfriendly, boarding on rude. Had to wait for our table which was 20 mins late, which I understand on a busy Sunday is often the case - not easy to turn the tables. Roast dinners were okay, nice Yorkshire pudding which came regardless of what meat you ordered which is a nice touch. We ordered the extra potatoes at nearly £5 which was a little pricey. Out of 5 puddings, only 2 were available. Again they were fine but nothing more than that. For two people, both having two courses and a pint and a half of Pepsi each nearly £90 stung a bit.

Absolute best cider I’ve had in my life

Came in for a pint and a snack. Waited 45 minutes for a bowl of Nachos and chicken wings, which both came out stone cold. Sent them back and asked for a refund, which was given with no argument. It's a shame, as this seems a lovely pub and the staff were friendly and apologetic.

Came here on a Saturday night to watch the rugby - great atmosphere and friendly staff. Beautiful building as well which is a bonus!

I was on a day long tour out of London and the last stop was in Bath. After visiting the Roman Bath(s) I decided to grab a quick bite to eat at the Huntsman. I order the salmon balls in Lobster sauce and a cider. OMFG! The salmon balls and sauce were amazing! I about soiled my knickers in excitement as they are by far the best food I have ever had in England. As a frequent visitor to London I can assure that truly have to travel outside the city for great food. The Huntsman in Bath is one of those places. Cheers!

Had the worst plant-based roast. When I told the waitress the Yorkshire pudding was raw and frozen at the same time (it was also burnt on the outside?) she still came with a full bill. Bit surprised we didn’t get some money off, especially because for £19 you’d expect a very good roast. Bad bad bad.

Ordered the nut roast. For £19….very poor and bland Sunday roast. Had a very odd-shaped Yorkshire pudding (looked like a muffin) which was burnt on the outside, raw and frozen in the inside. Told waitress it was frozen, received an apology but it wasn’t reflected on the bill. Shame! In this economy.

Lovely friendly pub, with old charm feel. Dog friendly

Just stopped in for a drink after a long walk and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff with a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks

One of the best Sunday Roast I had. Very friendly and passionate staff, delicious food with a view.

Lovely pub and dining although the table we had was rather sticky... even the waitress could not easily lift the empty plate off of the table... LOL...

Went there for the Sunday roast last weekend. This pub had a beautiful dining room, excellent staff and delicious food. We had the lamb and beef roasts and loved every mouthful.

We had a super roast beef and Yorkshire pudding dinner in upstairs dining room. Very attentive service.

A perfect pub experience, well done team👏🏽👏🏽 We were welcomed and served by a tall young man who made good recommendations on the food. I took up the unusual suggestion of sea bass risotto and I'm so glad I did. This was the best risotto I ever ate. The chefs did a fantastic job: the risotto was cooked perfectly with mussels that were soft and juicy, then topped with a delicious piece of sea bass. My partner had fish and chips which were also 10/10. The mushy peas were really nice tasting and, let's be honest, peas aren't usually a stand out feature but these were as good as they get. The atmosphere was lovely with lots of candles and fairy lights.

Such a beautiful venue, I visited with a friend for Sunday lunch. We both had roast pork and we were both in agreement that it was up there with the best we'd ever had. We were made to feel welcome from when we first arrived in the bar downstairs, before moving upstairs to take our prebooked table All the staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel like a valued customer Though there is a bar downstairs, if you want to enjoy a meal it is advisable to reserve a table in advance

Great food, beautiful location, and view. Highly recommended

I had a lovely day in Bath Travelled on the tour bus next time will visit spa museum

I had my wedding reception here on 19th August 23. The venue itself is stunning, the staff are so friendly and helpful. Jacob in particular was always on hand to help. The night was very special and I couldn’t have picked a better place to have it. I would definitely visit again and recommend them for venue hire! Really great team.

Went to Bath with the family for the day out and heard about the Huntsmen off a friend. Our servicer was a very tall man with glasses who delivered exceptional service. He explained there may be a wait for food which was fine, he also showed us the allergy QR code which was well presented online. When the food arrived it exceeded expectations, the fish and chips were brilliant. However the tomato soup was not a hit with my partner. Overall a good meal with fantastic service, will definitely be recommending this pub to my friends.
