The Wheelwrights Arms in Bath and North East Somerset

Really nice, good country pub. Bartender was really friendly and had good ciders on tap!

We had a nice Sunday lunch at the pub. Unfortunately they no longer serve Sunday roast and had somewhat a limited menu, but we enjoyed the food we ordered. Servers were attentive and friendly, atmosphere was lovely, had a fire going to keep us warm. The pub is dog-friendly. Would recommend the pub for a nice lunch and a pint after a long walk in the countryside.

Having stayed here before we knew we would want to come back. Our next visit didn’t disappoint. Beautiful countryside walks, 10 mins drive from Bath, great food & a lovely live fire in the Inn. The bedrooms are fantastic, and the staff are also superb. Richard the owner was very friendly & approachable, and particularly James, who was really friendly and helpful. We’ll be back again for sure! Thanks guys & Happy Christmas.

Lovely meal, great service and relaxed atmosphere. Will be back!

Nice place reasonable prices, only stayed for a drink but will visit again

Friendly staff, clean rooms, an excellent pub, and only a 45-minute walk to the Bath center. What more do you need to choose this place?

Beautiful surroundings and atmosphere

Perfect cozy accomodation for 2 nights, dinners were fantastic and the ‘owners special’ breakfast was the perfect way to start a day!

Tried to get lunch but a 45 minute wait for food,on a Thursday lunchtime in September! Decided to have a drink,some olives and go to our hotel instead. Beautiful location,sat in the sun in the garden.

Great food nice atmosphere, friendly staff

Best beef burger ever, with stilton. Also has Fortitude on tap Beer garden with plenty of space. Dog friendly too! Doesn't get better 👍

Super cute pub and a great stop on our bike ride! Delicious food and great service!

Truly lovely pub, in a beautiful location. The service is attentive and friendly. We got there without booking and were very pleased to accept the available option we were offered. The quality of the dish was undeniable. I always wanted to know what a 17.50 +10% service charge premium beef burger tasted like. We will be back for more soon.

Really good fish and chip lunch had with colleagues. Nice setting and nice interior. I had no idea there was such a large car park at the back until we got there. Perhaps a little pricey for a pub lunch

Lovely place to stay. The rooms were beautiful with a comfy bed and everything you needed. Bathroom was good, with a powerful shower, although there were a few little bits that needed finishing in the bathroom and there was a little leak from the radiator. Ate in the restaurant one evening. Food was amazing! Although on the slowish side but appreciate the guy was on his own trying to serve 10 different tables

M - 🌟 in a country pub! We stopped here to avoid the city hustle and bustle and didn’t expect such great quality food, very quirky. The dishes showed great planning and expert execution. Not afraid to deviate from the norm, compliments to the chef!

Salí a dar un hermoso paseo por el campo y encontré los brazos de WheelwrightsPedí 1 hamburguesa y 1 rollo de cerdo desmenuzado El cerdo estaba un poco fríoLas patatas fritas se habían cocinado tantas veces que no había patatas en el mediocuando fuimos a pagar habían sumado 7. 00 a la factura de las patatas fritas, (cuando pedimos, el chico dijo si te gustaría ensalada o papas fritas con tus comidas)sin mencionar el costo extra

Precioso edificio, mesas disponibles para entrar y salir, excelente personal: la mesa detrás de nosotros afirmó erróneamente que el camarero se equivocó en su pedido (escuchamos su pedido original) pero el personal simplemente se disculpó y dijo que lo cambiarían.Tenía una de las mejores ensaladas César de pollo que he tenido y hamburguesa de pollo de suero de leche y Dahl también muy bueno.

We went here for my husbands bithday meal, the wine I like was £11 a glass london prices, food was overcooked and inedible sent it back twice which they did rectify however tasteless, would not go back!

Acabo de pasar 3 noches en el Wheelwrights Arms. Cuando llegamos, el personal era muy amable y servicial. Teníamos la habitación 7 con unas vistas fantásticas. Su fácil acceso a Longleat y Bath City Centre. Ambos son días fabulosos. Los lugareños son todos muy amables, la comida es deliciosa. Y definitivamente volveremos.

Restaurant was busy and we waited 40 minutes for our meal which was very disappointing fish was very small and chips were all small bits in all a very measly overpriced meal

El personal es encantador pero la comida es horrible y el vino es caro.Desafortunadamente, por causas ajenas a ellos, no tuvieron una entrega de pescado el día que fuimos, por lo que la elección del menú fue muy limitada. Pedimos y en 5 minutos llegó nuestra comida, ¡gritó no fresca! . . . la hamburguesa de cerdo desmenuzado que no venía con ningún acompañamiento era muy mediocre y las "patatas fritas cocidas a mano" eran en su mayoría restos crujientes. No cobraron por las patatas fritas y se ofrecieron a hacer algunas más para nosotros, pero no las aceptamos.La botella de vino blanco que elegimos nos costó 25, la encontré en línea por 6. 95! No me hubiera importado pagar 17/18 por él, sino 25. . . ¡arrancar!

Había telefoneado antes de mi visita para comprobar que servían café por la mañana, ya que los habitantes de la zona pensaban que sería un lugar ideal para reunirse con un amigo en un entorno seguro y pintoresco. Me dijeron que sí. El café con leche que pedimos era como agua para lavar platos con leche. y cuando preguntamos si servían algo con él, como un croissant, nos dijeron que no se sirve comida hasta después del mediodía. Es bastante justo, pero al estar en una ruta popular en bicicleta / a pie, ¿no requeriría mucha imaginación o esfuerzo tal vez proporcionar un acompañamiento ligero junto con los cafés? Entonces decidimos quedarnos y almorzar ligero. Elegimos el paté de caballa, que consistía en la porción más pequeña imaginable con media rebanada de pan. Esto era delicioso pero muy tacaño y caro. En general, fue una experiencia realmente decepcionante.

Cenamos aquí durante nuestra estancia en el waterhouse ya que estaba a 10 minutos en coche. El hotel lo reservó para nosotros.Nos sentamos afuera ya que era una velada encantadora y rápidamente vinieron y tomaron nuestro pedido con viseras y nos sentimos completamente seguros comiendo allí.La comida venía en excelentes porciones y estaba deliciosa, toda mi familia la disfrutó.

Under new management. Delighted to meet Tom the new owner. Staff amazing and so friendly. Setting has been upgraded significantly. Food was superb. What's not to like. See you again soon guys - we loved it...and thankfully it's walking distance from home "Cheers" Richard

I was due to stay here for a one night stay. Travelling 4 hours it seemed worth it as evidently the place looks beautiful. I was mortified however when on the day of my stay I received a email to say that it had been cancelled. I called the property certain it was a misunderstanding, but no, I was met with a very indifferent young man who confirmed there had been a misunderstanding and there was no room for us. Obviously panicked I said I booked it weeks ago, I have travelled 4 hours surely you can't just cancel to which he replied all I can do is apologise, again rather indifferently. I understand misunderstandings occur however there was no concern for the fact that we now had nowhere to stay, no sincerity, no recommendations just absolute carelessness. If this suggests anything about the way they treat customers that actually arrive I seriously would avoid the "services" here.

Some weeks ago we booked a table for dinner on Xmas eve for 8 of our family. On arrival we were told that only the 'Classic' menu was available, meaning broadly 3 main course choices - dishes like ham, egg and chips or a burger - fine for a quick lunch but a pathetic choice for a pre-Christmas family dinner. At the point of booking over the phone or in a subsequent call to change the time of the booking, there was an opportunity to be told that the normal a la carte menu would not be available but nothing was said. The staff showed no interest and with a shrug of the shoulders, indicated very clearly that we were not welcome so we took the unsubtle hint and went elsewhere.

They really went all out. Delicious food (albeit smallish high - cuisine portions) but they took excellent care of us and the food was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend booking your family Christmas here.

Have stayed here before & was disappointed by this stay , a lovely room & good value for money but supper was sadly disappointing cold root veg potatoes lukewarm & a cold sticky toffee pudding which was also very dry & told very curtly that I eat the carrot so it can’t have been bad & that the pudding was tested with a probe & was fine - well sorry it was not & a polite apology would have been appreciated

A good welcome, a beautiful room, a big open fire - very much needed on a horrible wet night, great food...nothing more to ask for, well done!

I hate this time of year when a lot of places have their room temperature just above freezing (well, for me!). There was a beautiful log fire and we were told we could not have the table next to it as it was reserved. So spent the whole meal looking at an empty table next to a warm fire when I was freezing... Not great. So obviously that would influence my feelings about the place and won't return in the winter. An automatic door closer would be great as well...Otherwise, my friend did not really enjoy her Caesar's salad, she did not like the dressing. Lots of greenery. My other friends main course was very small (miso and pearl barley mushroom). My own beetroot risotto was fine and I enjoyed it. May return in the future.

We loved this pub/hotel, the staff were friendly, the food was excellent and the location was ideal to nip into Bath (not by foot or even bike, it’s very hilly). The room was clean and comfortable the only downside was the lack of a walk in shower, but the handheld shower above the bath was fine for a few days. Would definitely stay again

we had dinner at the Wheelwright Arms , it had a very small menu , and apart from the Mussels there was nothing else i fanced . My daughter ended up having just a bowl of soup

For years we used to walk to this pub from home with our dogs. Then, for probably the last 12/15 years, we have been unable to do so as the landlord made it an unfriendly dog pub which was such a shame. But now, under new management, we are able to walk to this lovely country pub (as dog walkers always used to!) and enjoy a good lunch which we recently did and will certainly do again. Very well done to the new landlord. Most enjoyable food & drink too!

Great bar friendly staff warm clean surroundings I was first in so quite quiet I had a starter and main from the specials board 2 pints £27

Great little spot in this hidden gem of a village. We are going back here first thing when we go back to England. We stayed at the Waterhouse Inn across the valley. Magical.

De hecho, me impresionó lo que obtienes por el precio. Gran servicio, habitación limpia, la comida es sabrosa y el personal es amable. Definitivamente volveremos. Si vienes a Bath definitivamente debería estar en tu lista, ¡la ubicación es única!

Precioso pub rural, excelente ubicación al final de la ruta ciclista de 2 túneles. En general está bien, pero es caro para lo que era. El personal era un poco gruñón, aunque no del todo grosero. La comida era variable: el asado de res estaba delicioso, el risotto estaba bien, más como arroz y guisantes que el risotto, y una porción muy pequeña para 14. El pan y las aceitunas como entrante llegaron con los platos principales, menos las aceitunas (nos habían advertido al hacer el pedido), pero no aceite ni nada, así que solo un poco de pan seco. Buena cerveza, así que lo recomendaría para bebidas y papas fritas!

Went here for dinner this weekend. The menu choices were really interesting-a cut above traditional pub food. The food was served within a reasonable time and the food was delicious. Friendly staff. Will definitely go there again

The Wheelwright Arms se encuentra a 15 minutos en automóvil del centro de la ciudad de Bath, o 30 minutos en autobús. Me alojé en una habitación individual que, aunque era más grande para los niños, era más que adecuada. La cama era súper cómoda, almohadas realmente encantadoras, artículos de tocador de cortesía de L'Occitane y también se proporcionó una variedad de té en la habitación, así como una t de pantalla plana. v. montado en la pared, toallas y una increíble bata de calidad! Los únicos problemas fueron una tetera muy sucia, pisos terriblemente chirriantes (extremadamente ruidosos), un cabezal de ducha que libera el agua hacia abajo en lugar de hacerlo sin opciones para ajustar o mover su cabeza y papel higiénico muy delgado.

A super little spot. We came here for dinner whilst staying elsewhere, although we now know this place has rooms! Large car park. Friendly staff and locals and superb food. Plenty to choose from - something for everyone. Highly recommended.

We were staying over night and even though we were disappointed to some extend with the stay which was sad as it was our first Trip away together as a couple I can say the the food was amazing. We had the the Pate and the Mackerel for Starter and then the Steak and it was fantastic and even though the only two Staff that were on were rushed off there feet but still made sure you were okay what I can not say from the owner who was there during the day and the morning

Return visit - what a shame. Despite pre booking, no advance warning or advice on arrival of just how many main course options had run out before our 7 p.m. supper. I was being entertained by house guests visiting from Scotland so I chose the venue & was embarrassed. We all resorted to 2 starters each followed by dessert. I had the clear impression that this was not an isolated incident. On a Sunday lunch visit 2 weeks earlier there had been no lime cordial but otherwise the catering was fine although priced on the high side.

A very disappointing visit, I’d booked dinner for my family (age rage 4-75) we arrived to a very cold dining room, my father in law offered to light the log fire as there was an abundance of logs next to the fire and we were all wrapped in our coats, wandering how the room could be made warmer. The room filled with smoke so all the windows were opened making it even colder. The bar staff then choose to argue with us that the fire was smoking due to cold air nothing to do with the obvious fact the chimney needs cleaning etc etc

Oh dear what's happened to lunch at this once lovely pub? A tiny menu of poor quality and overpriced food. Fish and chips - looked old and reheated. The "chops" we're old roast potatoes and the batter solid and completely inedible.

Nice little country pub, very pleasant interior. Food was fairly decent, however it was quite overpriced. Service was so-so.

Small pub. Limited eating space. Good menu with general pub grub but quite pricey. Friendly staff. Pub not very warm when we visited. Open fire but unless sitting right by it, no benefit to others.

Can't recommend this hotel enough. Friendly staff, great food, great location and amazing rooms (we stayed in no. 2) Thank you for making our little break more enjoyable.

Went for a nice Christmas stroll, surroundings are beautiful and picturesque. The pub is also nice, but on entering it became clear that the bartender would rather be somewhere else. Not especially friendly or welcoming, generally uncommunicative. A pint, a tea, and a soup was almost £13, so far too much, really. I fancied the rib-eye steak on the specials board, but at almost £30 with sauce, went to the chip shop instead. If you're thinking about eating in this area, try the Inn at Freshford, or, even better, the Stag at Hinton Charterhouse.

El clima no fue brillante para nuestro fin de semana, pero una de las mejores cosas de nuestra habitación (2) fue que ¡puedes controlar la temperatura en ambas habitaciones tú mismo! Los alrededores eran tranquilos y con la ventana cerrada en el dormitorio, se logró una oscuridad perfecta. El único indicio de que era de mañana eran los pájaros cantando. La cama era cómoda y el baño era enorme. El baño era definitivamente lo suficientemente grande para dos! Las toallas eran suaves y parecían nuevas, bonitos artículos de tocador también.

Nos alojamos por una noche, que era suficiente, la habitación era estupenda, con un baño fantástico. Nos registraron y nos llevaron a las habitaciones por parte de un excelente miembro del personal, sin embargo, luego nos registramos en la chimenea de leña que parecía estar llena de troncos mojados.

Fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo el 16 de diciembre. La comida era normal, estaba vertiendo con lluvia helada. Cuando nos fuimos, vimos un laboratorio negro que parecía muy desolado, atado a una mesa exterior bajo la lluvia helada. Llamé educadamente al pub desde el coche del perro para pedirles que averiguaran a quién pertenecía el perro para ver si podían salir y atraparlo, fue una visión muy lamentable. Una niña respondió y dijo que no tenía nada que ver con el pub y que su actitud era muy grosera y despreocupada. No lo podía creer. Ella me dijo que yo debería hablar con el propietario. No es la respuesta que esperaba. No iremos de nuevo. Odio la crueldad hacia los animales. Era responsabilidad del pub averiguar a quién pertenecía el perro. Ese pobre animal. Los mendigos creen.

Tuvimos una agradable comida con amigos mientras visitábamos la zona. No es un restaurante "barato" pero la comida era muy buena. Había mirado el sitio web antes de hacer la reserva y había asumido que había un menú sin gluten, pero no lo había. Soy un amante de los postres, pero desafortunadamente no había opciones sin gluten (excepto el helado que muchos restaurantes parecen sentir que es una opción adecuada sin gluten). Tenía el Petit Four, pero incluso esto tenía un brownie de chocolate que tenía que ser sustituido.

Recommended by our hotel, this place had a warm cosy feeling, needed after a long trip from London. Customer service was excellent, and the food menu was innovative, backed up with great taste. All of us enjoyed our meals, especially my partner whom had a large selection of gluten free options available.

I booked The Wheelwright Arms on our trip to the Bath area as I wanted to make our stay as authentic as possible. By that I mean I did not wish to stay in a large modern hotel. Externally the establishment is very quaint and appealing. The bedroom was quite small, the bed very comfortable and a well stocked bathroom. However, there is no soundproofing from one room to the next. We heard full telephone conversations, bathroom being used and the TV and every other movement from within the neighbouring room. The breakfasts were good but the evening meal we had was a terrible let down, none of our courses were eaten in full and at no stage were we asked if everything was to our satisfaction. On leaving the restaurant following the meal we put the charge on our room and were then asked if everything was ok, my response was 'fine'. You may feel my response was rude but if you are in a Michelin approved establishment, I would expect some kind of friendly interaction between staff and guests but there was none at all! 'How are you enjoying your stay? Where are you off to today? Did you have a good day? How is your meal madam?" ...just an example of things that could of been said, but none were!

Wir haben hier an einem Tag unter der Woche zu Abend gegessen und es war sehr gut besucht, eine Reservierung ist empfehlenswert. Abendessen gibt es ab 18 Uhr. Die Speisekarte ist nicht sehr umfangreich, enthält jedoch eine tolle Auswahl an Gerichten. Es finden sich klassische Speisen wie Steak mit Pommes als auch eher ausgefallenere Gerichte. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Essen. Auch Vorspeise und Dessert schmeckten sehr gut und waren attraktiv angerichtet.

A lovely village pub with a great menu and beer garden. We stopped there on a Sunday when the lunch menu featured the roast (£18) and not the cheaper alternatives of flatbreads (£8ish). We were impressed with the food and the choice whilst extensive had something for everyone with fish n chips, burger, veg tagine, etc. No kids menu but all mains can be half size and half price for children. Thanks service and food quality were good. Would recommend.

Amazing Beef, great roasties, Yorkshire pudding, lovely beer, really good vegetable dish as well. We sat outside and were admirably looked after.

The room itself was lovely and very comfortable but unfortunately there was no shower (besides a shower head on the bath) I really liked the nice touch of bath bombs included with the complimentary toiletries.

Went with a friend as had heard God things. The service was good and waitress friendly, food arrived quickly a was really nice and good sized portions. Puddings were expensive for what you got but still tasty. The pub itself is lovely and quaint, really nicely decorated with a log fire that really warmed you up.

Stopped off for lunch here halfway through a long walk. Food okay and reasonably priced, but when I checked the bill after I got home I was very surprised to find that there was a service charge. I am fortunate to be able to eat lunch out a couple of times a week, either in pubs or three and four star hotels, and I have never had a service charge at any of them before. Won't be returning.

After staying locally in the Tucking Mill View, we could not fault our food from starter to dessert. It was truly outstanding. The choice is limited yet caters for all which means everything is cooked to order, is fresh and is delicious. The Camembert starter is HUGE!

Overpriced Sunday lunch, tiny portions, served barely luke warm. The manager could also do with some customer care training. Quite shocking.

Me gusta mucho lo que han hecho con las habitaciones que dan al pub. . una mezcla de antiguo y moderno. En verano me imagino que puede ser muy ruidoso, ya que las habitaciones dan al jardín de la cerveza pub/. Cenamos en el pub, las señoras que nos era maravilloso y la comida era decente. Una gran decepción fue el servicio en el mostrador de recepción. Sobre todo cuando bajamos a desayunar media hora tarde (pensamos que cierra a las 11). No nos incluso ofreció café/té y cereales que yo habría esperado de un pub rural amable. Entiendo que si la comida caliente no era posible, pero al menos algo ya que habíamos pagado el desayuno. Sólo un torpe "cerrado". . Yo he trabajado en hospitalidad mucho y ese tipo de actitud no mantener clientes contentos. Me hubiera gustado que estaban dispuestos a flex un poco y ser más cálido y acogedor!

Fuimos 25 millas y pasado otras 20 pubs para venir aquí, después que cruzamos el pasado docenas de veces.

Reservamos aquí mientras un paseo por 'El baño de dos túneles de Midford'.

Precioso almuerzo, gran servicio, solicitud de mesa más tranquila seguirse debido a comedor con pariente mayor, así que nos sentamos en un rincón acogedor del restaurante con su propia chimenea, así que me sentí como una experiencia privada. La comida era deliciosa, realmente fresco ingredientes...

Este pub/restaurante no está lejos de (a poca distancia) de Waterhouse Hotel que nos lo recomendaron. Acogedor, moderno restaurante pequeño bajo la gestión de muchas de las mujeres? ? De todos modos la comida de un buen servicio. Muchas gracias y cordialmente. Consejo: Pide algunas...

We went for an evening meal at this hotel as it was the most convenient place to eat. The pub looked like a corridor with tables and a bar in it. The food was ok. The service was very slow. The pub , on the night we were there, appeared to be run by young people who weren't very coordinated . I refused to pay the service charge as I felt it was not warranted . The food is expensive for what is served. I wouldn't go back, nor would I recommend this establishment .

We stayed for a one night stop over. The food is ok, probably better than your average pub food. Staff ok, but, we did not sleep for the whole night. My husband stayed in a room by the car park with people coming and going, banging on doors, until the early hours. My son and I shared a twin room the other side of the building, the bathroom window was opposite the kitchens and had no covering. There appears to be a problem with the water pipes, they banged the whole night - so loud I had to turn the TV on all night to try and drown the noise- it sounded like someone was in the bathroom. We left at 6:30 am, luckily we had settled the bill after dinner the previous evening.

Myself and two friends met at the Wheelwrights Arms for lunch. We have all lived in the Bath area for many years, and decided to meet here given the recent review in the Bath weekend magazine (20.7.17) and it being a mid way point for us all. We were disappointed on several levels:Very limited lunch menu for light lunch - essentially a choice of a few sandwiches, fish and chips. Consequently two of us ordered sandwiches, one ordered a starter from the restaurant menu. No choice given as to type of bread for sandwiches - our sandwiches were made with white bread. (the menu we were given did not reflect the choices provided on the sample on line menu)Overpriced menu - our sandwiches were £6.50 each, the starter was £7.50. Poor quality and small portions - the white bread did not taste fresh, there was very little filling (fish fingers and salmon being the sandwich filler) and a very small portion of salad leaves and crisps with the sandwiches. The starter was tiny! We were shocked. It came with no bread. Literally two mouthfuls and it was gone. Poor service and lack of interest from the two members of staff working that day (25.7.17). We expressed our disappointment and surprise at the size of the starter - two mouthfuls of thin sliced fish with some grated celery underneath. The response was something to the effect 'fish is expensive. What do you expect?' We requested some bread to go with it. Initially the staff member said he would return with a basket of bread. Over five minutes later he returned with two thinly cut stale pieces of white bread with a bit of butter on the side. He said nothing, just put it on the table and went. We were speechless. Our experience does not reflect the views expressed in previous reviews on trip advisor. Its as if we were in a different venue! I can honestly say I have never eaten such a poor quality lunch in a venue in Bath and the surrounding area in all the years I have lived here - 27yrs. My friends agreed with me. A suggestion for the future - given the tiny portion size of the starter, it might be helpful for the staff to point this out to the customer, especially if they are ordering it as a lunch option, as we clearly were with our order. The customer then has the opportunity to select something a bit more substantial. On the plus side, the pub is beautifully situated, we sat outside in a very pleasant courtyard, and spent over 2hrs chatting in comfortable surroundings.

I stayed here with my wife for one night and wished we could have stayed longer. The restaurant serves delicious food. We had an enjoyable three course meal which was a very untypical pub meal. More of a high class restaurant really, presented really well, unusual combination of ingredients and absolutely delicious. There was a multiple choice for breakfast, something for everyone. The room we had was very comfortable with some nice finishing touches such as bathrobes, sweets and biscuits. I don't believe there is wheelchair access to the rooms so it would be advisable to check before booking. There are some beautiful walks to be had but beware that it is a very hilly location and you'd need to be pretty fit. The canal at Brassknocker Basin is twenty minutes walk and well worth a visit but we just missed getting a cuppa at the Cafe there because it shuts at 5.00 pm. There is a Park and Ride to Bath City centre just 10 minutes drive. Also a bus service which stops right next to the pub.

What a great location - surrounded by wonderful walks and bike rides, and walking distance from Bath itself. Add to this really good food and service and you have a great place to base yourself, to eat and to drink. They offer a 2 course meal for £13 with limited choice of dishes, and an extensive a la carte menu as well. The chick pea curry was good, as was the fish and chips. Highly recommended.

good wide ranging menu with all the usual suspects, cooked fresh and how you like it in this out of the way celeb gastro pub, owned it is rumoured by the Chelsea Chairman and Kate Moss by others. Nice warm fires in the winter, great outdoors space in the Summer, go, don't miss

We went as a party of 13 and while initially the guy behind the bar seemed like he'd rather be anywhere but there serving us things did get better. We were fortunate to have been looked after at the table by an extremely nice waitress who made us feel really welcome. It's a shame to say that I find good service is hard to find these days, but such is not the case here.The food was ok. I had the venison burger, which was burt on one side and over cooked through, leaving it pretty dry. It would have benefited from a bit of pig fat through really. However the risotto balls I had to start were good. The guy next to me had soup and it was really only a little more that flavour, slightly creamy water. In contrast the ragu he had to follow was really tasty. Overall a good experience, but the super service made up for the average food.

Stayed for a long weekend and was very clean and comfortable. Only moan was the pillows were too soft but using 3 was ok. Food very good and not overfacing. Shame no locals just drinking to chat to - more an eat and leave type of pub. 2 beers on and kept in good condition and 2 ciders as well which was a bonus. Would definitely visit again

The Wainwright's Arms is a traditional pub with an incredibly welcoming feel. It is a little off the beaten track; side-winding the inclining streets to find it was interesting! The views are simply magnificent and it boasts incredible vistas of the surrounding countryside. The bar staff are incredibly friendly and the bar has a super range of beers, ales and tipples. This is a great venue to visit after a jaunt to Bath or to relax at the weekend. Great place with a warm atmosphere. Outside seating is great for gazing over the views.

Waves of affluence spread out like ripples in a pond from Bath into the Cotswolds and this lovely pub in a village dominated by the buildings of a boarding school has been touched by that effect and then some. The young staff are lovely , a bottle of Chilean Pinot was excellent and the pork chop is a beautifully cooked and seasoned dish. They try to be different with the cheese, avoiding (just) the boringly predictable cheddar,Stilton,Brie unholy trinity and in fact the only probkem we had with the food was the salsa which accompanies the mackerel which wasn't ( chopped tomatoes with vinegar does not a salsa make). The main room is a very omfortable, beautiful place with a great old fireplace. The prices are on the extortionate side. £13 plus for a baked Camembert , mackerel (the cheapest fish in the sea ) over £10 and no accompanying vegetables. £3.50 if you want a small dish of chips ? Btw, they are short changing the staff by adding service only to the food which means a £65 bill only attracts a £4 service charge. Still, you won't be disappointed by the experience just a lot lighter in the wallet

We took our son here for his birthday and thought based on the prices that the food would be top notch. However when our Sunday roasts came the Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and dry, the lamb was so fatty that I couldn't eat it and the roast potatoes were unpleasant. We mentioned this to our waitress and she murmured something about telling the chef but didn't seem particularly concerned or interested. I have had better food at a Harvester for considerably less. The pub itself is nice but the food would have been disappointing in an averagely priced pub.

Excellent quality food in a friendly little village pub. A good variety of menu choice with chefs specials each day.

Local pub across the valley from where we stayed. Very friendly people with a surprisingly good menu - both food and service were really good.

We noticed this as we were passing through. We came back to it for lunch and are so happy we did! Fantastic food. It has much more artisan local craft than most of the restaurants we have visited with the laid back atmosphere of a pub (which was great to visit with kids). There are board games in the corner and great pints to drink as well. Don't miss stopping by!

This pub is tucked away in a secluded village. Surrounded by beautiful countryside. In the summer it's great to sit and relax in the garden with a cold local cider. The food is reasonable my wife had asparagus with ham egg starter while I had a potted crab. Pretty good. I decided to have the steak special. Although a fine piece of meat it was over cooked I asked for medium rare and got nearer well done.My wife's meal lamb was great so learning is the same only order steak in a steak joint why can't I just learn.

Enjoying a bike ride in the fine weather. Decided to stop here for a late lunch. Pleasantly greeted by the sound of live music and the smell of fresh BBQ delights being served. Friendly helpful staff, slaving over the BBQ and taking drinks and strawberries and cream orders; all in the name of charity! What a great event, popular but not overly so and a very unexpected find on a cycle ride. Thanks.

This was a welcoming traditional pub with good food a very nice ambience and traditional décor. Pleasant staff.

However we were disappointed with the food; my husband has fish, chips and mushy peas, nice fish and chips but the mushy peas were cold. I had a mushroom, spinach and herb risotto, nice mushrooms, I didn't really notice the spinach as it was chopped really fine but there was loads of really strong cheese in it which over powered the taste. Unfortunately we decided to pay up and go elsewhere for our desert.

Stopped here while out on a walk. Drinks and a sandwich. It was lovely outside, the sun was shining and the atmosphere relaxed. The menu looks interesting and we will definitely come back to try a meal.It's a great spot for a break while walking or cycling to the two tunnels or a detour from the canal.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights whilst on our trip in Bath and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bedroom was of a brilliant size and the bed was incredibly comfortable, everything was clean and very well presented and there was daily room service if wanted. The staff were very lovely and welcoming and the food in the pub just opposite the bedroom was splendid! We both had absolutely nothing to complain about and would definitely recommend to others.

Met a couple of colleagues for dinner here. We were waiting for another member of our party so things took a little while to get started and a waitress took our orders.She also took a drink order but that took an age come. Once my main arrived we managed to get the missing drink as well as a jug of water we requested. I had a fish stew, it was OK but not special, it had muscles as part of the dish but most of these were closed or partially closed so I didn't eat them. There was a reasonable amount of fish in the stew so it wasn't a complete disappointment. The desert I asked for wasn't available so I opted for the pannacott which agiain was ok but nothing special.Overall the food was fine and the people serving were friendly and helpful but they were clearly overwhelmed by the numbers, it needed more staff. I think for the price and quality of food average sums it up perfectly.

Only had to stay one night near bath on business, found this place on tripadvisor and booked for half price via booking.com. What a find! One of those archetypal country pubs that you'd take a foreigner to, to show them what English pubs are all about! The accommodation is to drawer, very clean and everything you need is provided. Even has really good wifi! And to top it all off, I've just eaten the best steak I've had for many a long year! Will definitely be back with my wife for a weekend!

Food was excellent; a good selection on the menu plus specials. Nice welcoming atmosphere with a no rush, no problem approach from everyone there. Warming fire & side room made the evening special

great service, friendly helpful hosts ,freshly cooked food.My husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal however personally I would have preferred beef to have been cooked rather than rare. I was immediately told that this could be flash fried to achieve a better result. The proportions were good and hot. The background music was not obtrusive and the log fire was welcoming. The wine and real ale were very good.We stayed in the premises and would recommend to anyone, we did achieve a late rate booking which included a very good breakfast. The rooms are extremely spacious and well equipped to include bath robes. I would imagine a booking in the summer would be delightful with the outdoor patio area and views over the countryside. The journey into Bath is only five minutes. Located in a quiet village but easy access to places of interest. Happy to visit again

This is a really nice pub in Monkton Combe, just outside Bath. The staff are lovely and friendly and all in we had a lovely evening (a large group of 12). But some of the food was a bit disappointing. The special 'pheasant' was way overcooked and dry and one of the guests had a steak which was tough - either down to the meet itself, the cooking, or lack of resting. We may have been unlucky and at the end of the day, would go back and try gain.

This is a fantastic 'gastro-pub' in a beautiful village. We recently stayed in the area, and the hotel fayre wasn't to our taste. We therefore ate in the Wheelwrights both evenings. The food is of terrific quality, and brilliantly cooked. My Sirloin steak was cooked as well as I can ever remember tasting!The pub is an interesting building with lots of different style 'zones' throughout the public area. Both evenings the pub had a very welcome open fire, which made the whole area feel very cosy.Booking was very easy due to the use of the 'book-a-table' app. The staff we met were exceptional, none of this "how is your meal" interruption nonsense, just happy people who genuinely want you to enjoy the food. As an aside, there are some brilliant photos of the location filming of the Ealing Comedy "The Titfield Thunderbolt", part of which was filmed in the area.What a great place - we will return soon, and will sample the B&B facilities. Well done to the owners and staff, this kind of consistent service must take a huge amount of work and dedication.

A cosy village pub, with accomodation of a superior quality and fantastic views of the green, green Midford Valley (did I mention, it's very green round here?). Thanks to the accomodation offered, the pub is open all day, so you can catch a quiet moment out of hours should you wish. Clientele consists of dependable and well disposed regulars, a selection of current guests and, at the weekend, representatives from the school staff next door, plus Bathonians passing through. Local beverages on offer; a fancier than usual menu (my son recommends the cheesy chips for the less adventurous); background jazz and, on important sporting occasions, a TV screen cunningly revealed from behind a superb Joanna Cope painting. Friendly service (& conversation should you engage); Wifi available; a selection of daily papers and local magazines on the bar; an outside garden/patio; off road parking - thank goodness. Church Lane is narrow, so best to park in the pub car park, not outside someone's house for maximum good neighbourliness. and to retain your wing mirrors... Not cheap, but I'm not sure you can 'buy' this kind of establishment - especially in winter when the fog rolls down the hill and the open fires beckon.

A lovely old building with a warm and modern feel. No tvs to distract you from the enjoyment of the fine meals.

A lunch for two at this pub/restaurant was a lovely experience on a dull day. Being a part time vegetarian, I went for the cauliflower started and the falafel. The flavours were stunning. We enjoyed a table by the fire and experienced friendly and good service. Well worth a visit.

Our B and B recommended and booked this restaurant for us it was fantastic the food and service was excellent !

Pretty pub with nice decor & feel to it. Staff polite and attentive. My friend and I had the sirloin steak which unfortunately was chewy with gristle & served with fries & a heap of watercress no sauce. We did not complain so perhaps unfair that we did not give the chef a chance to rectify the meal. If in that area exact again I would go back and give the food a second chance but with so many other options in Bath...temptation to try other venues wins!

Cosy, clean, great food and beer. Rooms comfortable. Very civilised. Stayed mid week and wasn't too busy but lively enough for some atmosphere. The owner kindly opened early the following morning so we could get breakfast and set off for the long journey home.
