The Pulteney Arms in Bath and North East Somerset

A really good find !! A local pub with great atmosphere and a really friendly and helpful attitude from the staff and locals alike ! The food was great ..... A good selection of ales and I was assured the wine was good too. I would recommend a visit 👍

Enjoyed some ale and some cheese and onion crisps.

A wonderful little find. Wish we had found it three days earlier. The staff made us ( Aussie Tourists) feel extremely welcome. Atmosphere was exactly like you think an English pub would be like. Food - well I have yet to have a better pie on mash with perfectly cooked veggies. Sooooo worth the visit. Great value great place great people.

We went for the Wednesday night quiz, hosted by the wonderful Sasha. It was challenging but interesting with a wonderful diversity of questions which were well thought out both current and historic. Suited us perfectly! The atmosphere was great, the pub is lovely and the food was delicious. The staff are very friendly. Highly recommend

Nice friendly pub they are closed Monday and Tuesday Wednesday it's quiz night and it's very popular also it's dog friendly good selection of beers lager and cider lovely food on Sunday food is served until 5 clock now it's best if you reserve a table

Impromptu "at the end of the day" pint, in the sun! A great local for the locals with a great team of staff and choice of drinks 👌

This pub has everything you want! A traditional cozy, welcoming pub, full of locals. The perfect place for any evening!

Just the same as any other pub not a lot atmosphere would've been nice to see a discount card for locals

Comfortable pub, with well kept ales. Food looked good and was popular, didn't try it on this occasion, but we'll return to eat soon.

Great chill spot. Staff were absolutely lovely

I visited Thr Pulteney pub on Sunday around 14:30, hoping to enjoy some nice fish and chips. Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. When I arrived, the bar staff informed me that the kitchen was closed, which was frustrating given that Google’s opening times indicated that food service was available. It’s always disheartening when expectations don’t align with reality, especially when you’re looking forward to a specific meal. I hope that the restaurant can address this inconsistency in their hours, as it would greatly enhance the experience for future guests.

Best vege burger I have ever had in a pub. Great local place with really well kept beer.

Great pub! Best fish and chips I’ve had in years:)

Loved this pub - nice place to grab a pint and relax. Lovely staff and enjoyable conversations. Didn’t get any food so I cannot say if it’s good or not. Really great place though.

Friendly pub filled with locals and a cute labrador called Hugo :) We had a lovely time.

Loved the Pulteney Arms. Best fish and chips, very friendly staff. Great area to sit outdoors in a little courtyard + at the front. Friendly pub dog. Free parking after 7pm in the surrounding roads.

Came here years ago to watch World Cup. Fun evening

Nice pint and the food was great

The pub had a very good atmosphere.

Lovely pub! I will definitely go back for the Lamb roast ☺️ Perfectly cooked. Thanks to the team - cheers Laure

A friendly little pub a few minutes walk from the city centre. We called for Sunday Lunch and only just got a table so I recommend you pre-book. A tasty pork belly with a wide range of accompanying vegetables. A nice atmosphere with a mix of locals and tourists.

After a stroll round Henrietta Gardens we stopped for lunch at The Pulteney, very welcoming with lovely food, good portions at reasonable prices, dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

Nice friendly local pub with a good atmosphere. Menu is short but it's got all the normal pub classics. I had the chicken pie and it was brilliant, very tasty. It's a pub for dog lovers. Good selection of beers.

It's too long and inedible. To flee

Visiting Bath for their annual Christmas market and wanted to stop in for grub at this local pub. Staff were brilliant when calling in and so accommodating sorting a table for us upstairs on a busy Friday night. Simple pub menu and everything ordered was done really well, served hot! Thank you for being part of our memorable day out in Bath 🙏

Enjoyed roast beef one Sunday with a pint of Timothy Taylor's bitter. Pleasant ambiance, plenty of happy conversations.

This was the second time we've been here only to be told there was no record of our booking. Manager seemed to suggest it was our fault for booking via telephone. We would have stayed to take her offer of a high table and stools, but she was so rude and complacent, we left and went to The Raven in Central Bath, where we had excellent food and service. She might have a good business because the food at Pulteney is excellent, but she's lost us as customers (we visited often) because of their poor booking system and her manner.

A truly excellent, friendly pub, splendid variety of drinks and possibly the best pub food in Bath. Highly recommended.

We popped in for a quick drink. Everyone was so welcoming and it just felt like a lovely pub. Next time we are back in bath we will definitely go back for a Sunday lunch as they looked awesome 🤩

This is a great little pub on the edge of Bath. They have a small outside space which is perfect to sit outside on a sunny day and watch the world go by. Nice and relaxing and good food and service.

This in an awesome pub. Good food, great beer and lovely staff. What more do you need.

Great pub with a great atmosphere. Jess was amazing! Give that girl a payrise.

What a call a real British Pub. You have to visit and food was great as well

Popped in for a Sunday roast with friends visiting. Food was delicious and excellent value for money. Service was ok was able to book same day for 7 people. But we found lack of follow up service or real engagement from staff.

Food was ok, my friend liked his more so. Perhaps my choice of ham, egg & chips.... Service was engaging and good. Ambience good, beer good.

Great pub only visited for a drink and service and Ale was perfect

Great little pub. Good atmosphere, staff friendly and good food. 👍

Plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from in Bath, I feel the Pulteney Arms is certainly one of the better pubs, friendly staff and an outside seating on those sunny days.

Thoroughly enjoyed my second visit here, albeit 40 years apart. Excellent food and great service in a nice quiet part of a quite wonderful city. .

Thanks for my first ever Curly Wurly!

This place is a must for a Sunday roast, they also do pies and have fantastic deserts. The staff were all really friendly and although we hadn’t booked they managed to squeeze us in. It’s clearly a popular place so if you’re in a bigger group would recommend booking in advance.

Best pint in months! Young lady behind the bar knows how to pour a pint. Would have a few more but driving. 😅

A local pub with lovely people.

Great food, good choice of beer, really friendly staff, comfortable and great atmosphere. Top pub!

What a lovely traditional old pub. Near two great parks. Was met by Hugo. Friendly pub dog. Staff were friendly and helpful. Choose a Sunday roast and sat near a log burner. Food came which looked and smelt delicious. My taste buds were well treated. Had a lovely atmosphere and felt at home. Was busy. Bravo all

Great beer, good food, VERY dog-friendly (including the host, Hugo the Labrador), very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff and atmosphere - proper pub food as well! Visited with family and relatives so this pub made the evening very pleasant.

Lovely staff!!! Excellent service, brilliant food. I LOVED the pork belly and the goat cheese salad and the pesto!!!!

Nice rugby themed pub! Friendly staff and nice ambiance!

Dropped in on the off chance on a Friday night for food and drink and the place was busy.But the staff found us a table upstairs.Food was excellent and the ales superb.I must give a big shout out for the staff who were first class and made us feel very welcome.Returned next day on the way back to our accommodation for a quick drink.Great pub,great food and great staff.Thank you all keep up the good work.

I was peacefully having my meal in pub’s smallest room for three tables when a huge unleashed dog came and started putting its head in my plate. So I simply take this pub as an irresponsible business that doesn’t care about all its visitors. Left today without even finishing my meal. Shame.

Super local pub- very different and authentic, if, like me, you are from the smoke.

Marvelous food, especially lamb. Nice atmosphere. Thank you, Sasha.

Perfect place , classic English style , delicious food , very nice staff!

Stopped for dinner on a Wednesday evening. No seats on main floor because it’s “quiz” night. They offered the upstairs room which was perfectly lovely. Hubs had the mushroom risotto and it was tasteless and watery. No salt and pepper on the table. The woman who takes your order at the bar was a bit busy pouring beer that she didn’t put my order in, so didn’t receive mine. I didn’t know if she was going back to the kitchen to get it, so I didn’t say anything but never saw the waitress again. It is dog friendly and the staff was friendly. If you’re looking for a pint, standard bar food, and quiz night on Wednesday, it’s perfect then.

Cosy. Beautiful and delicious Guinness. Even on game day the staff are kind and lovely. Love this spot

A great fun, traditional pub with a really warm and lively atmosphere. nice beers, good food , what more could you ask for?

Is it a pub or a dog kennel? Too many dogs barking, begging and play fighting.

Cosy pub with friendly atmosphere. Lovely staff. Highly recommend the fish and chips! Great place to take the dog too!

Great pub. Great beer. Food looks good too.

Lovely friendly atmosphere, staff very attentive. Our dog was made very welcome and enjoyed the Doggy treats from staff.

Lovely pint of Timmy Taylor. Pity the seating in the garden was all soaked but we were able to squeeze onto one of the street side tables so all good.

Really lovely pub, traditional looking good pub, excellent food and good selection of ciders and beers. Lovely friendly staff, lovely ladies. Will be definitely be back.

You must try the Belly Pork, it is insanely good. Hats off to Dean as you won't get better anywhere!!

Friendly staff, great pub food.

I went to the Pulteney Arms in Bath primarily for lunch. I had fish and chips with a coffee which came to £17.50. There should be something on the menu for everyone. This pub is only about 10 minutes walk from Bath city centre but is in a lovely (and rather hidden) location close to Henrietta Park. This is quite a small pub, an end terrace on a street corner. There are about six tables inside with a similar number outside. Note that this is very much a dog-friendly pub so if canines are not for you then best stay away. The resident dog is a lab called Hugo and several other well-behaved dogs came in with their owners whilst I was dining.

Hele leuke buurtpub, denk dat het de thuishonk is van plaatselijke rugbyclub. Op een donderdagavond bezocht en daar veel rugbyers gezien die na de training een biertje kwamen drinken. Topsfeer, ademt nostalgie uit.

Only stood outside on a hot and beautiful evening,good beers and friendly locals,like a laugh.good times

Lovely staff and wonderful welcome as you walk in. Food was great and loved the fact the pub dog wanders around to say hello!

Beers expensive. Worse still dogs allowed in dining area and wandering freely

An excellent dog and child friendly local pub, slightly off the tourist track. Well-priced and good food.

Lovely friendly pub. Dogs welcome.

Great beer and friendly staff. The food looked good.

We hired the private room upstairs for a special Mother's Day meal with the family. The room was fantastic, the food was delicious, and Sasha and the team looked after us wonderfully. I would highly recommend the Pulteney Arms for a meal or a quiet pint in a warm and friendly local pub. Thank you ☺️

Love it. Bring back the pickled eggs!

Stopped here for last orders, bartender very friendly and it was no issue for us to order a drink. Dog friendly, so we got to meet some new friends 😍 lovely pub nice and traditional. Hidden gem.

Cosy, welcoming pub with open fire and gorgeous black lab intimidating everyone eating with his sad, sad eyes! Delighted to find this the third place I've found in Bath with Aspalls on tap - sheer nectar after the dreadful and ubiquitous Thatchers. Had the Sunday roast which was ok - would be improved if the thick gravy wasn't poured over everything. Not quite up to its reputation, I'd say. Will definitely be back for the atmosphere and the Aspalls, though may pass on the food.

Lovely neighbourhood pub, excellent beer (Timothy Taylor Landlord was perfectly kept), pricey but high quality food, adorable pub dog (Hugo).

Moretti and peroni on draught, great atmosphere

We had a large table for a birthday meal and we were upstairs in a lovely private room it was so relaxed. We all had the Christmas menu and every single one of us said how amazing the food was it also came out hot which as a large table is tricky. The service was amazing we always felt cared for and nothing was too much trouble. I've been there a few times now and have always had a lovely meal.

We had a fantastic Christmas dinner at The Pulteney Arms. The food was totally delicious for us meat eaters (turkey Christmas dinner with all the trimmings) and vegetarian members of my family (mushroom loaf with all the trimmings). We used the private dining room upstairs and had a lovely afternoon of great food, wine and fun family games. Sasha the owner was fantastic in all communications prior to the bookings and on the day provided amazing service. She was so friendly, very attentive and had decorated the room beautiful with a Christmas tree and decorations. I would definitely recommend this pub, the delicious food and the amazing friendly service. Thank you and we've booked to come back in two weeks.

Excellent pub good beer and a quiz on wenesdays

friendly no-frills backstreet boozer. Good beer on tap (Timothy Taylor's Landlord is especially lovely) and a small, homecooked menu. Not especially smart - it's clearly a local rather than a destination pub - but always busy on match days.

Fantastic atmosphere, really friendly but also no pressure to buy anything. Plenty of reading material. They also serve Coffee.

We chanced upon this pub and what a treat Wonderful, friendly staff and fabulous selection of ales on tap. It was a busy Wednesday and quiz night but we were found a table to eat and joined in the quiz night We ordered lamb rump which was delicious and a ham, egg and chips, just perfect Planned to stay an hour but stayed for 3 in the end and made to feel very welcome Highly recommended

The beers are kept well and there's a good selection. Friendly staff too.

Great pub. Lovely small beer garden

Great atmosphere and well kept beer

Lovely atmosphere good cosy pub but plenty of outdoor space also food was delicious and the staff were very polite and chatty def go again 👍

My hubby and I decided to enjoy a short stroll through Henrietta Park, which was very peaceful, and ended up at The Pulteney Arms. It is a lovely traditional pub, which many locals seemed to be frequenting. We received a warm welcome and decided to order food, to compliment the fine ale on offer! This is a family owned pub and all the family are very passionate about the place. Service was great and so were our steak and chips. We can highly recommend this great pub, in a quiet location, yet just a short stroll from the town.

A cosy dog- friendly pub with good selection of beers

went to an awesome private birthday party upstairs

Brilliant rugby pub offering everything you could want of a proper pub. The team that run this place are also top notch. Throughly recommended 😘

Good, well run traditional local pub with well kept ales.

Welcoming pub with good selection of real ales and prices decent for bath

Definitely top 5 pubs in bath. Proper beer good food and welcoming.

Been here before when visiting for the rugby, always a top pub before a game. However first time today for sunday lunch, top service and top food. Book and you will not be disappointed

This week I returned to the Pulteney Arms for the first time in maybe 15 years. I'm glad to see it hasn't changed much, although the famous gaslights have been turned off in fire safety grounds. Good range of beers, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Friendly staff, good food and a lovely sunny walled garden. And a smashing pub dog!

First pub I've visited that has a pupper as an owner. A cosy pub.
