The Raven of Bath in Bath and North East Somerset

Such a charming and eclectic pub. Really enjoyed the beer, the pies and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Delicious food and great beer. The staff are also great 👍🏼 10/10 😌😌😌

Typical English pub with a variety of beers on tap and traditional food. The service was very bad: we each ordered a soup of the day and a plate of sausages. Both things arrived all at the same time, with almost no room at the table, so it was very uncomfortable. Thank goodness they overheated the soup in the microwave and it burned so much that we had to eat it at the end of the meal.

Had an amazing breakfast today at the Raven! Server was extremely kind and welcoming. Food was fantastic, and the chef gave us a Ravens gold beer to take home! Fantastic! Highly recommend!

Always a great atmosphere and hearty food and drink. My favourite pub in the Bath area.

One of my favourite pubs to visit in Bath

But St pub in the world with a lovely owner who is also socially a great man! ✌🏼

First experience in a pub. Food was excellent, had the mushroom pie on mash and elderflower cider. Delicious and very filling.

What a gorgeous pub! We’ve visited several times during our stay in Bath and they have an awesome range of ales and stouts that are changed regularly. Open for breakfast, we popped by around 8.30am and had a fabulous breakfast with the most amazing homemade hash brown’s we’ve ever eaten. Definitely going back!

The Raven is a super authentic pub in Bath. We went here for a drink after exploring the city. It was a very cosy atmosphere. The staff was friendly. Although we didn’t eat here, all the plates around us looked absolutely delicious.

Great pub, warm and always a fun atmosphere - good selection of beers

A traditional pub with their own beers. They have several unique flavors. It's a big pub with two floors and it is PET FRIENDLY 💕🐶 The bathrooms need a upgrade urgently

Excellent otter ale and the loaded pies where fab.would highly recommend

Love this pub, always go here for a drink when we're in Bath. The Raven ipa is awesome. Haven't tried the food but it looks good.

Great atmosphere, delicious beers and pies. Lovely british pub.

We stopped in here after visiting the Roman Baths. The Raven ale pie was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy English day. The house brewed non-alcoholic beer was also a nice surprise.

Raven Gold was good. It was busy on an early Friday evening with a good atmosphere. Good for having a chat with my mate.

Great CAMERA pub with amazing food. The service was great and it was very chilled out. There are 3 bars and it has several floors... Including a library. Would recommend.

Very good food, beer (golden raven) and quiet atmosphere. Ideal to repeat.

What a find! Oozes atmosphere and character. Great selection of beers, too....and even a floor that hosts a library! Well populated, even during a weekday, and it's easy to see why.

Excellent pies, good beer, friendly staff in a characterful setting- what more could you ask for

Great vegetarian goats cheese pie with chips and gravy for fairly good prices.

This is my new most favourite pub in the world. The pies are great, the beer is great, service is awesome, the pub is cosy and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the Raven mascot that you can spot everywhere you look! Definitely a must-do when you’re in Bath.

What an awesome pub - on so many levels (excuse the pun). Starting with the building - cool from the outside and amazing on the inside. Several floors of cosy tables with a bar on each level. Good selection of their own beers as well as some decent wines. The food is a real killer feature - for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. So many "must try" items you just have to come back again.

Lovely pub - sampled on a recent visit to Bath following a recommendation. Was very crowded but we managed to get a table right upstairs in the library. Cozy and friendly environment, great beers on tap, pies to die for, Heartily recommended.

This pub was frankly the most disgusting venue I think I’ve ever been in in Bath and not only that probably the whole of the south-west of England. The food was foul the chips were cold and I couldn’t actually work out whether they’d been put on my plate from someone elses returned plate. The toilets were a health hazard. Someone had deposited something large in the middle of the floor and when I brought this up with staff they laughed and said welcome to Bath.

I'm so pleased to see they don't let riff raff in. 3 years late on this review, but very pleased with what I saw on lotuseaters

Characteristic English pub...top

Great pub in Bath, delicious beef stew and savory pies, and we liked their lager and stout a lot! Recommended stop if you're in town.

Delicious pie. Good beer, hopefully colder

Brilliant huge traditional pub in Bath. If local or visiting you have to stop here for a pie, sausage and mash or a ploughman's, the food was excellent. The menu choice made it hard to decide as I could have eaten all of it. But we decided to go with venison pies which did not disappoint. I wish we'd stayed longer so I could eat more here!

The food is excellent, as is the Raven ale. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was very cosy. It is also a Keir free zone. I'm hoping/assuming this applies to all pound shop dictators. An all round great experience, and will definitely visit again.

Always top condition beers.My favourite pub in Bath.

We came across The Raven as close to our hotel. Lovely pub, nice staff. Best pie and mash we’ve had. Even returned for breakfast the next morning. That was also very good. I had the scrambled eggs. Deliscious. A definite to visit if your in Bath.

I had the best pie here in the UK. We ordered Raven Ale, Steak & Blue, and Heidi, and we all loved them.

Visited 23/9/24. Food was OK, but nothing more than that. Beware if you order the 'hearty stew', it comes in a dish no bigger than a finger bowl and certainly won't fill you up! Very noisy, and we were unable to hold a conversation at our table, which was also very disappointing.

Second visit, food just as good as the first time! My only niggle is that it can get very busy and there is no booking facility for tables, you just turn up and take pot luck!

I love everything about The Raven—my favorite pub in Bath. I’ve been there many times. The pub offers a huge selection of beers, has a lovely woody design, and serves delicious meaty and vegetarian pies. All my friends whom I took there, especially to the library on the top floor, loved it. For cider lovers, try their cider—it’s neither too sweet nor too acidic. It tastes like Apfelwein, which you can find in Germany. Their service is also fast.

Great place for tasty pie and mash, veggie options and good selection of craft beer

We buy choclate pie was soo delicious

Greeted very rudely by a guy with a mullet so turned around and left. I’d been there a couple weeks before too and been charged £26 for two G&Ts, I would probably avoid this place!

Charming and enchanting place. Great food and fantastic beers, very friendly staff. Feels a little bit like the burrow from Harry Potter

Best pie ever! Greetings from Belgium :)

Great pub, significantly extended since my last visit. Didn't eat but the menu looks fab, the original hand made pies plus lots more choices now. A real craft ale lovers paradise but able to cater for lager lovers too. Was packed on the Friday I visited though the Bath Rugby fans were out in force.

Best pies! Also very affordable

Super cute place with comfy tables, booths, little nooks and crannies. Good food and friendly bartender who did a great job juggling all of his duties. I had the chicken pie with mash and my husband had the beef stew with a little salad and crusty bread. It was all fresh and presented really attractively. I would go there again for sure!

5 stars for kicking keir starmer out!

What a great place for a pint&pie! All walks of life represented. Great beer and ever nicer pies. Helpful and friendly staff. Place to be if this is what you look for. Big advantage was lack of loud Americans

Great ale, great pies and great service. Loved it 😋

Good place to get bite and a pint!

Came here a few times during our visit to bath. Mostly for beer but we also tried our first meat pies. Everything was great. We found the beer to be priced lower than the pubs near the main attractions. It seems to be frequented by the locals also. Everyone is very nice. It's a big place. No trouble getting in.

Very good pies, good selection of real ales. Staff are friendly.

Not bad, recommended by an old lady in Bath

Popped by for a light evening snack and beers. The only table we could find was outside which was fine, but definitely would have loved to sit inside with the cosy interior! The charcuterie platter we got was excellent, and the beer selection also! Unfortunately couldn't try one of the pies but they looked absolutely banger.

An authentic pub! Typical English food. It's hard to find English food that I like, but I have done it at this place. We ordered their beef pie with gravy and mashed potatoes. It was very good. They also have a large number of beers. You have to go order at the bar and pay in advance. Was

Great food in a cozy atmosphere. We had the Raven Ale hot pie and the Free Ranger hot pie. Both were delicious. So good that we went back for breakfast the next day. We both had stuffed croissants and we’re not disappointed. The staff was very attentive and our food served quickly even though were crazy busy on a Friday night. All food items are sourced locally.

Such a cool old pub with a great cosy atmosphere and lovely pies with great flavour. Ales and beers are all great.

This was a return visit to The Raven, the last visit was 8 years ago, when I was amazed by the pies. They were just as good this time, we went for fully loaded with mash and a large portion of mixed vegetables. The meal was sublime, not to be beaten in my opinion. My only gripe was the guy behind the bar was a bit grumpy and made a point that we would want the only table that he had to clear. We wanted that table because it was the only free table big enough to eat at. He also made a point of having to go to the other bar to get the beer my partner wanted. His lack of customer skills was made up for by the lovely person waiting on table, who deserved 5 stars all of their own.

Great pub. Rich in history and amazing food! The pies were divine!

We walked past this place and it didn’t look anything special, more like a standard pub until I saw a waiter bring out a pie dish. The plate looked amazing and delicious, so we decided to give it a go and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. The staff are friendly and helpful. This place does get busy, it is popular and it’s no surprise because if you love pie and Ale, this is the place to go.

Recommended by a tour guide, The Raven did not disappoint ! Great selection of wonderful brews, and a delicious and hearty lunch as well. Very highly recommended.

My wife and i stopped by here when we had some extra time and loved the pints she got herself a VERY nice cider and i got myself a pint of some of the best beer ive had in a long time the bartender was new but still extremely knowledgable about the drinks offered and contributed to an awesome experience

Quirky pub over multiple floors and rooms. Good food served by cheerful staff. Own beer brewing as well as cider selection.

Lovely little gem in the center of Bath. Unique ales on offer and a really cosy atmosphere

No frills but beer of the highest order. Regularly pop in but this time we ate. Pub caters for pies and sausages, with or without veg. Loved it.

Love this pub. Great ales . Traditional pub. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's what a pub should be.

Raven IPA was delicious and the atmosphere was laid back. Careful though it says no children in public bar.

Cracking pub, great beer, great pies, great atmosphere

For a pub, it's really ok place!

Charming pub, good food and cheap drinks

Probably the. Worst ale I've had flat no taste shame as it was raved about

My first ever pub experience. Food was lovely, service was excellent. I got their house pie and finished everything.

I have no bad word against it here whatsoever! This was my maiden trip to Bath on my partners recommendation and after disappointment in Swansea for breakfast, we decided this would be our stop. I was in awe from the get-go with the architecture of the area and The Raven managed to blend in and stand out all at once. When we arrived, people were outside taking photos as part of a local walking tour and it was only 1045 so I was amazed at how busy the city had already gotten. We parked at The Cattle Market near the Double Tree and it was only a short walk to Quiet Street and we were here. We were welcomed straight off the bat by people who really looked like they enjoyed where they were! Our order was taken and I was all too enthusiastic to go exploring further! The Raven is a bar/gallery/library set across three floors with a cosy, historic feel with the modern touches and quirks that also felt quite gothic in nature, it was really quite beautiful! I got so sidetracked on the third floor with the library that my partner had to message me down to get the main floor for our food! We had a large breakfast with black pudding, which was served on a bed of spinach and I swear I have never had a breakfast like it! The hash brown was beautifully seasoned and 'ruddy' massive. The chipolatas were divine and I couldnt get enough of them!! All of which was locally sourced. The bar has its own ale as well but given our time of day, we were reluctant to drink anything alcoholic, however we were very pleased to see little gift sets with cups and glasses merchandised with 'The Raven of Bath' on the side and a set now sit proudly in glass's cupboard. The toilets were just right also with a gentlemans downstairs or a unisex up half a flight. Pricing was reasonable too with the whole meal, two pots of earl great and the pint glass and gin glass coming well under £40. 5* would highly recommend and will be back!

We came for breakfast and it was excellent, there was a minor mistake but the hosts went above and beyond to correct it despite us not minding the mistake to begin with. We enjoyed it so much we came back for some real ales that evening which were fantastic and extremely reasonably priced. If we ever come back to Bath we will surely be visiting The Raven again. Very warm and welcoming compared to many of the pubs we have stopped at.

Probably best pies I tried in the UK! Beef and stilton cheese pie was great!

First visit sat outside for lunch which was excellent

A pub in BATH, which retains the old British townscape. You order and pay at the counter, your drinks are handed to you at the counter, and your food is delivered to your table. The meat pie and sausage are said to be their specialties, so I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Absolutely loved that there isn’t a Woke pompous PM insight. Great company within the pub too.

Excellent pub with delicious pies

Great pub with a great atmosphere Friendly locals who had a bit of a chat and a laugh Barstaff who know their beers etc and are happy to recommend based on what you're after Plenty of seating - and a library right at the top, food looked really good too

We’ve had a really good time with a great choice of different beers and really good English food.

Great pub great food great atmosphere kids friendly

Lovely range of beers and pies all served by friendly staff

The pub style food and atmosphere we were looking for! After a long day trip to Bath, this was the perfect place to rest up, have a drink and a warm meal before heading back to London on the train.

Just for kicking Starmer out the boozer, legend.

Great pub definitely worth a visit

Just for standing up against that weasel Starmer, living legend you are!!

I love getting pints from the likes of this man

Never been but the landlord deserves a 5 star rating for objecting to the then Labour leader of the opposition entering for a photo opportunity having supported closing all pubs during Covid & wrecking the industry. When I am next down in Bath I’m going to ensure I go there & spend my money on food & drink & , if possible, shake you by the hand Sir! If Carlsberg made pubs/publicans they’d all be as good as this. 👏🏻😎

The pies were excellent, and staff attentive.

Great pub great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Home to a legendary landlord who threw Keir Starmer out of his pub, a landlord with an impeccable moral compass.

Perfect Pub 👌 you can have a nice evening without p. Minister bothering you

Holiday trip. Walking through this delightful town, we came across this place having been struck first by the exterior, very characteristic, but above all by the kindness of the staff who welcomed us very well and served us some truly exquisite dishes. I highly recommend it if you happen to pass by these parts. Congratulations and thanks again!

The landlord has a clear moral compass. That gets 5 stars from me.

A delicious restaurant and pub located in a lane of Bath... Beef pie is delicious😋⋯⋯ Pair it with special sauce to make the pie even more delicious👍🏻 I have visited 3 times😋😋 They have freshly squeezed beer🍻. Various drinks 🍸. 🥤 There are many items. You can choose⋯⋯ Parking here is not very convenient. Better to park on the outside. Come and dine🍽️, you can enjoy delicious food as much as you want Overall. It’s a restaurant and restaurant you can visit again👍🏻

Toilets not in a great way. Limited choice on draft

Owner kicked out Keir Starmer, absolute boss! 💯

The food was delicious! We had the chicken pie and a sandwich

Not all hero's wear capes folks.

Great vibe and good range of beer and cider
