The Locksbrook Inn in Bath and North East Somerset

Food was amazing, the atmosphere was really nice. Our waitress Liv was lovely, thank you so much for the recommendations for our stay.

Best pub in Bath, 10/10 staff, pleasant and cosy atmosphere with some outstanding food and well poured pints. Be sure to check out the quiz on a Tuesday night at 8pm, Suzy provides great entertainment and it’s a must for my friends every week!

Went for lunch today. Atmosphere is great and waiters are very friendly and polite. However the portions were very small (had burgers-beef as well as veggie) for the price-£15/£18. We also had to wait close to one hour to get our food. I understand that Sunday lunch is a busy time but the management should know this and hence should plan in advance (possibly hire more chefs/staff during busy periods).

Nice pub very busy on warm spring days. Good is brilliant. Beer has variety but not enough dark beer. Great staff.

Great breakfast, served in the sunshine

The BEST burgers in bath! Amazing service, food and pub quizzes would 100% recommend we love coming here!!

Really good place to go for Sunday lunch. Big indoor restaurant, very nicely decorated - with equally large outside area along the canal. Food took a little while to arrive (about 25-30 minutes) but it was Sunday lunchtime. Sunday roasts (1 chicken, 1 roast beef) were very tasty. Only observation we both made is that the food wasn’t piping hot, just warm - again this could be down to the Sunday crowds but a bit hotter would have been good ! All in all a very positive experience, will definitely be back

Despite having pre booked a table it wasn’t available when we arrived as it had been given to someone else. We were left standing at the bar while various staff ran around trying to work something out. We were then asked what we wanted to drink and then told it would be added to our tab, still standing waiting for a table but no goodwill gesture! Eventually they told us to find a seat in the bar and they would sort us a table. We were eventually seated at least 15 minutes after our booking and in a table next to the door which kept being left open. The food, when it eventually arrived, was average at best. I had a vegetarian option which had clearly been left to dry out under a heat lamp. Portion sizes were small, one small dish of veg to share between three of us. Food was drowning in gravy which tasted fatty, can’t believe it was vegetarian as it was the same as on the meat dishes (fortunately I am not vegetarian). The bill arrived and they had the audacity to add a 10% service charge despite the long wait for our table and poor quality food. Needless to say we won’t return. Such a shame as before it was taken over by St Austell brewery we have never had bad food there and we have been going for 30 years.

We had Sunday lunch in the bar. Whilst the food was very good, we want to make a particular reference to the staff. We were extremely impressed with their friendly, attentive and efficient service. It is rare to come across such well trained staff and made the whole experience a special pleasure.

Lovely pub on the canal with a big seating area outside (under cover in winter). Dining is in the old skittle alley with nooks & rooms for drinking or events. Offers on food normally around Monday-Thursday. Selection of nice pub fare, pizzas & burgers are good. Friendly staff, good selection of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. They provide great support for community & family events.

Brought my family to visit the famous Locksbrook Inn and they fell in love with the place. We joined in on a, very busy, quiz night and laughed the night away. We will be coming back again. Thanks Team x

Liv and Suzy were extremely friendly and helpful, the service was fantastic and I will most certainly be back! Thank you 💚

We were a fairly large party booked for a Sunday roast. The staff were amazing and we cannot fault them. The beef was unfortunately quite gristly which made Mose of the portion inedible. The veg was fantastic and just the right amount per person. I would go again but would order something else. The pizza’s looked amazing.

I always take my dad here for a Sunday roast. Great food, lovely people and a welcoming atmosphere

Food was average, sent lukewarm fries and a very average burger. Service was good apart from one member of the team, she really appeared like she didn’t care. The manager was excellent, great sense of humour!

We just enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch experience here. Anya and her colleagues did a wonderful job looking after our party of 20 people, ranging from small children to a nonagenarian! The food was delicious, the service was fast and it was good value. Nearly everyone in the party had a different dietary requirement and the team dealt with this brilliantly. All in all a definite 5* performance. Based on our experience you will be in safe hands here for your Sunday lunch. Highly recommended!

Great food and dog friendly. Lots of seating inside and out. Staff are very friendly. There is a small car park at the front but you can access the pub from the cycle path alongside the river too!

Found on Google when looking for somewhere to have breakfast. Food great, staff fabulous and friendly. What a beautiful setting to start your day in, made you forget the grey mizzle outside with the fire burning.

good food, service and atmosphere

I have been here several times before. Today I had Margarita pizza followed by creme brulee. The pizza tasted authentic and delicious and the pudding was very tasty. Being a Wednesday lunchtime it was quiet. I booked Locksbrook because they have booths and I wanted to catch up with an old friend. The highlight of the meal was Oliver, the waiter. He was happy to answer our questions about the food and made helpful suggestions when he found that certain items weren't available. He was funny and polite and endlessly patient when asked to come back several times as we weren't ready to order because we were talking so much. We never felt rushed. I recommend the place for the food but will remember the visit for his first class service. Thank you Oliver!

⭐ Extremely disappointed with my experience at Locksbrook in Bath. Arrived at 3 pm hoping for a Sunday roast, only to be turned away because they were "saving it for evening reservations." Since when do pubs require reservations for a simple Sunday roast? The staff was unapologetic and offered no alternatives. It's baffling that a pub can't manage its food supply properly or accommodate walk-in customers. Poor planning and even worse customer service. Won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable pub experience.

I went today for a family roast. We ordered two roast chicken roasts and a childs burger as there was no children's roast option. Although the food was nice we only had vegetables to share! The roast was £18 and I believe having vegetables on a roast dinner would be standard. On the menu it doesn't say "you will be sharing these vegetables with another meal on the table". I mentioned this to the bar staff and even they have said "it's our number one complaint, I'll pass it onto the kitchen again".

It's a really nice place for food.

Lovely pub, staff were amazing and let us stay past closing when we got locked out our Airbnb and went back for breakfast the next day. Best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had

Lovely Sunday Lunch relaxed atmosphere , would deff recommend !

Good pub for a pint, large covered garden area, nice pizzas. Some live music randomly outside. The quality of the service varies depending on the waiter. Last dinner, we had a very good waiter taking over after a few miscommunication with person serving us at first. I like the place. A couple of fire places which lovely in the winter if you get the right table for drinks only.

Lovely food, amazing service. Definitely be going back here.

Fantastic Venue for a Staff Christmas Meal! We recently held our staff Christmas meal at this pub, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—each course was well-prepared and served with care. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for our festive celebration. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone had what they needed and that the event ran smoothly. All in all, everyone had a great time, everyone said it's one of the best Christmas meals we've had in a very long time! I would highly recommend this pub for any group gathering or special occasion.

Long wait for food Chicken burger was very dry Very limited menu Very disappointed as been here for Sunday roast previously and that was pretty good

Nice venue close to city centre. We went during a busy lunch and staff did well to serve us so well. Food was good but some dishes overpriced, particularly the steak which was underwhelming.

Good atmosphere, warm welcome, courteous friendly staff, we enjoyed the food, service was prompt on a busy day - always a great place to spend time with family and friends!

We had a lovely meal - great starters and we all enjoyed our main course. Service was very good and we really enjoyed a relaxing post christmas get together. We will come back.

Came here for Sunday roast with the family and was great food and service from Jessamy! Will definitely be returning in the new year

Excellent food and atmosphere for this typical English pub on the edge of the canal with a good outdoor space for the summer and a warm fireplace inside for the cold season. We waited almost an hour and a half for the dishes but it must be said that this is why they offered us dessert. A good gesture

Amazing Sunday lunch! Our server Jessamy was great!

I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support I received during a challenging period in my life. When I was dealing with a serious illness, the assistance I received made all the difference, particularly in moments when I needed help with basic needs, such as using the toilet. Compassionate Care From the very beginning, it was clear that this individual possessed not only the necessary skills but also a deep sense of compassion and understanding. They approached my situation with empathy, recognizing the physical and emotional challenges I faced. Their ability to provide care without judgment allowed me to feel comfortable and secure during an incredibly vulnerable time.

louisa was amazing, amazing service and tasty food!

Louisa was very accommodating, food was great and atmosphere was lovely!

Tom was absolutely fantastic! He had a smile on his face the whole time and brought such a lovely energy to our Christmas dinner! Thank you so much!

Suzy and her team helped us with a wake for a local mum. She went above and beyond making a very hard day so much better. Thank you so much for being a brilliant local and supporter of our community. We deeply appreciate it.

Lovely atmosphere only came for a drink

Lovely pub with great service and food!

Formerly a moribund pub, the Dolphin, the transformation and the well thought out extensions some years ago has revolutionised this location. Very popular now, so much so, a cosmetic tlc is a regular requirement. I'm most often there for breakfast. There are multiple options, really - just ask the chef and you'll get it. My favourite is the Breakfast Bap - Almost as filling as an FEB. The staff change regularly, invariably students earning their way. Affable and welcoming, they've clearly had and followed the customer focusing instructions. When the weather is clement, sitting outside is a very pleasant way to drink good ale, eat original snacks and watch the footpath and canal traffic

Wow! What a supper club. The game night menu was absolutely delicious. Every course was enjoyed and every bit finished. The chef is very talented. The rabbit cacciatore was superb. Thank you Theo and team for a wonderful evening.

Held a birthday party here with about 60/70 guests and Theo and the rest of the team were excellent. Easy to organize, super attentive on the night and the space (restaurant area) looked amazing. Food (we put on pizzas) for guests came at the agreed time and was really good. Would highly recommend! Thanks!

Very large pub, some nice comfortable sofas 🛋, log fires 🔥, excellent range of beverages. And dog friendly.

Sunday roast was beautifully presented and tasty too! Jessamy and Rhi, our servers, were both efficient friendly & helpful when it came to recommending dishes, as one of our party did not want a Sunday roast. They always came to the table with a smile. Food portions were great for a lunch time visit and the local ale’s went down a treat. Will definitely be back again!!!

Sunday Roast with my two young boys. Service was excellent and the atmosphere lovely. £22 for roast beef is pricey though and although the quality was high, it was not perfect (undercooked cauliflower) and the amount of beef was on the small side. My boys loved their food, and I was impressed, just not £22 impressed! Total bill with drinks £66

We waited half an hour for two breakfast but there was only one other table there. By the time it was arrived coffee was drink before it went cold and the fried egg was solid and the rest of it was only warm. Very expensive for the quality and they added a service charge. Most disappointing Won’t go back

Not as we remembered. No carvery, veg was very sparse, not even your 1 a day portion! I believe the food is over priced plus cheeky service charge for 2 diners! I can now understand how we got a table at late notice.

We came across this lovely place as we walked into Bath from our accommodation, first time we had visited Bath so it was nice to stop and have a drink next to the canal, we liked it so much we booked for Sunday dinner and you couldn’t fault it at all, very dog friendly and the food was lovely! Definitely worth a visit

Food is great service was poor (veggies turned up 10 mins after our mains), it was Sunday we were hungry and it. It was super annoying, manager offers us our drinks for free (only had soft drinks as we were driving) no not a real discount!

Extremely slow service. When the pub is busy like Saturday night , there should be the right number of staff allocated to avoid big queues. We wanted food but didn't get any because we could not wait in a long queue. Overall the atmosphere is great , they have board games , cozy sitting but the manager needs to make sure to have a back up plan of staff are ill and make sure to be empathetic to the clients rather than expects them to wait to be served for 10 minutes . Improvement is possible . Hope I will see it soon.

Local pub on my doorstep and it's a great place to go. The staff are always helpful, friendly and their customer service is spot on.. That's why we always use these guys as our go to pub.... Supper clubs, quizzes, live entertainment. All washed down with a mix of great food and drink...

Great location, impeccable service, the location is great but crowded, prices are ok, the ambiance is ok, pretty much everything you want.

Lovely pub , service and food. Fantastic welcome from Theo and Jess . This is why we go here, made to feel important . Thanks xx

It's lovely. Beer is good, prices great, food delicious, staff friendly. The quiz was a good laugh even though we didn't win. It's definitely worth a look xx

Very nice dog friendly pub with lovely staff. We originally were planning to have lunch but changed the booking to just coffee and the staff were very nice and helpful.

My husband and I had a lovely meal tonight . Staff very friendly and restaurant area was clean and tidy . We were served by Mitchell who was very friendly and helpful.

Lovely place and super attentive and pleasant staff. A nice little cosy corner close enough, and yet far enough away, from Bath central. Recommended.

Fantastic venue had a great Sunday lunch with friends.

Great roast after a long day. Food was good, not amazing, but good. Were did eat at about 18:00 and the only roast they had left was chicken. Our server Theo was super attentive and very welcoming. Would definitely go back again

First time visit, great Pub tucked away down by the river, the weather wasn't so great when we visited but I can imagine when the sun is out it's beautiful outside. The four of us had roast dinners, 2 x beef, 1 x chicken, and 1 x pork, all of which were really good. We would definitely visit again.

Met up with others for breakfast the morning after my eldest sons wedding , food was great , lovely place to eat

Well worth the walk. (From Bristol) Nice beer. Nice barman. Nice weather. Nice all round. Very nice. Definitely go again- we drop in whenever we pass. And pass whenever we drop in.

Hidden gem, went there randomly to see if they did breakfast on a Sunday. They do, reasonably priced for bath, incredible food, great feeling atmosphere. Bring a date!

Came here for Sunday lunch & dessert. Staff are really welcoming. Food was very tasty and great portion sizes. Lots to choose from on the menu! Desserts was outstanding!! Would highly recommend. Thank you Suzanne for sorting today for us!

We didn't eat on this ocassion but this is a fantastic stop on the canal walk into bath, I would have given 5 stars but unfortunately the rattan furniture table and chairs we sat on had a dangerous metal rod poking out of it, this needs to be addressed before somebody is hurt

A lovely pub with great food. We love the Tuesday quiz night and it has become a regular outing for our family. Lots of fun and good company.

Really lovely food. All fresh. Lovely staff and setting. Had a huge table and plenty of room for children. Colouring sheets provided!

Very friendly place where we had a tasty lunch at a reasonable price & in very nice surroundings. We will certainly be returning when we’re next in Bath. A good selection of dishes at a fair price. The lunchtime pizza deal during the week was an excellent deal. The staff were very friendly & polite too & service was at a nice speed.

Fabulous Sunday roast beef, Ginger out dog was looked after and staff were so accommodating. Love this place

Great pub, lovely outside space by the river and the food is consistently good 👍

A lovely pub , very large with lots of outdoor seating

Lovely setting overlooking the river. Delicious food. Friendly attentive and efficient staff. Sun was shining, what more could you want!

Totally ignored by barman who chose to go to couple who arrived after me then promptly left the bar to take them to a table. My partner took my place at the bar while I used the toilet facilities. Came back to find him still waiting at bar waiting to be served bar left unattended the whole time around ten mins from when first standing at bar. Barman returns then says with you in a second and then promptly goes to attend a table leaving us still unserved at the bar. At this point we leave bring ignored once is inexcusable twice is nothing short of rude. Will not be returning even though I have been using this pub under various different owners for over 30 years. If you want to be served promptly and efficiently find a different pub.

Beautiful pub, right on the canal and catches the sun :)

We met up with family and friends for Sunday lunch at the Locksbrook Inn. We had a lovely time. Booking was easy online, staff were welcoming, friendly, caring and efficient. We appreciated the dedicated dining room where we could take our dog. Very pleasant surroundings, plenty of space. The food was excellent and plentiful. It was a sunny summer day and the pub was pretty busy, but everything felt unflustered and very well run. I heartily recommend it.

Didn't have food but live music and good beer . What's not to like !

Lovely pub didn't tried the food but looked good and lovely. Good service

The roast dinner I had was great, very decent portion size. We finished our visit with a few pints in the beer garden in the sun. The waiter (think his name was Josh) was very attentive and great to chat to. Will definitely come again!

Stunning food, friendly service - will come again as a treat

Great pub to stop at with a lovely view of the river, didnt eat but from the menu and what i saw come out i will definitely be back to try!

Was very relaxing, with decent music despite dipping into dangerous territory by playing the 1975. The service was brilliant, very attentive and quick and the food tasted great. I did throw it up unfortunately, but it somehow tasted brilliant on the way out too so thats a plus.

Food is lovely, they have a great selection of what to order with food and drinks. Nice scenery as we sat outside by the river.

Lovely spot along the canal. The staff are really attentive and chatty. We ordered a sharing board which was a bit scarce for the money paid but what we had was tasty. However, we wouldn't hesitate to come back.

I didn't eat, but the pizza on the next table looked very good. Fantastic outside covered area. Good beer and wine (a little more than a northern would expect though 🤣).

Large and spacious, covered patio area right next to the canal. Very posh dining area inside. Looks delightful. First visit, did not have any food. Stopped off on a bike ride.

I've just had an exceptional mackerel nicoise salad. Go for it.

Great atmosphere and amazing food. The steak was perfectly cooked and the drinks were wonderful. I love that dogs are welcome and the staff were welcoming and friendly

Lovely location, nice inside, toilets need updating as they were questionable and the hand dryer did not even work! Food…Please do not waste your money on the £18 crab sandwich with fries…They advertise white and brown crabmeat but what came out was akin to crab pate on two skinny slices of cheap bread toast. They did send it back to the kitchen at my request and it came back with a little more brown crab, no white meat. If you know, you know. The Manager was helpful but the younger staff came across as rude. The burger was fairly non-impressive. Such a shame as lovely location and they have a nice undercover outside area. Not one to return to for us😢

Had a works retirement party here and, they was happy to accommodate. Lovely food grate customer service and team had a grate time. Would definitely recommend

nice looking pub Sadly toilets were filthy No toilet rolls No towels Had pizza which was very greasy Dresses crab £24 Very overpriced Why pubs can not keep toilets clean and tidy i never know Looked good but sadly not

Used to be really good, but our experience this time suggests the food quality is going down and the prices are very much on the up. The service is great and the setting really nice but the prices for the average food is getting silly. I had the roast beef which said it came pink, but was definitely not. I followed with the strawberry cheesecake for pudding which came with a bizarre whole pink peppercorn and strawberry sauce - it did not work for me and the £9 price tag made it all the more unpalatable. Others had the sticky toffee pudding which was good though! The kid's menu, while in most eateries a source of good value, here costs £7.50 for just a main, puddings are extra (£4.75 for a kids tiny chocolate brownie!) and kid's drink are extra too. Overall just a bit disappointed that previous favourite is going off the boil.

Our new favourite place! What a find! Absolutely beautiful restaurant and the outdoor terrace is wonderful and the outside bar is fantastic! The Sunday lunch was delicious ( vege wasn’t great) but when the beef melts and the roasties are amazing not a big deal. The service was super quick, attentive and very friendly! Nothing too much trouble! A wonderful way to spend a sunny Sunday! We look forward to returning over and over! Thank you so much!!!!!

Late afternoon, early evening supper. Nice meal. Salt and pepper squid very tender. Sirloin baguette had a little too much mustard, but I enjoyed it. Kids meals - pasta and pizza were good.

Tuesday night. Food only OK. No flavour of most of it

We celebrated my daughter’s 18th Birthday, with around 22 people and the staff were absolutely amazing, patient and incredibly helpful! Thank you so much, you really made my daughter’s day!

Me and girlfriend went yesterday for a roast dinner and it was great! 👌👍😋 definitely recommend it if you are looking for somewhere that does a good roast in and near Bath.

Stopped for a spur of moment Sunday roast. Food was ok but certainly not worth the £21 per plate. Service was a bit indifferent. Worth a try but can't honestly recommend.
