Underwood Restaurant in Bath and North East Somerset

What a wonderful place. Great food in a really cosy atmosphere with excellent staff all round. We would recommend this restaurant most highly for all those visiting Bath. If you look inside you may think it is full but it has two floors of great experience and well worth a visit.

Booked Sunday Lunch here, arrived a little early but it was closed until 12pm, which I thought was a bit strange as you could book a table for 12pm. Lots of staff serving which were all very attentive, our food tasted delicious and it would have been a 5* if it had been hot. I'm not a fan of luke warm food as by the time you are finishing it, it's stone cold. We'll come back again and hope it was just the mad rush for early bookings that caused this issue.

Was so excited to try this place as I’d heard good things. Unfortunately our experience was completely the opposite. We decided to go straight for mains which unfortunately resulted in an hours wait. Wouldn’t have minded so much if it was busy but of course this wasn’t the case. We asked after our food after 45 minutes to a lady, to which was taken extremely badly by who we assumed was the manager. She followed this by muttering negatively in her own language (slightly awkward that we understood exactly what she had said) which was completely unprofessional and set the tone for the rest of our meal. Our food finally arrived and was completely disappointing, the duck tasted like it had been boiled in a bag and the potatoes were pretty much boiled rather than roasted. The only saving graces which is why we thought a 2 star was fair was our lovely charming Italian server Sahara and the location of course is quite lovely. It would seem the place is now closed down which based on our experience is probably for the best but we hope the waitress and other front of house staff find a nicer working environment as they were definitely wasted here.

I went to The Hive with my partner for my birthday and it was fantastic! The staff were wonderful and friendly. We had the bread board to start and I had duck for the main, while my partner had steak - all of which was delicious. We managed to make room for dessert, both the chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding were very tasty. I’d definitely recommend a visit!

Amazing restaurant. Great atmosphere, the food was fantastic and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Such a great restaurant! All of the dishes were creative and effective, and prepared so well. We had amaaaazing service from Senya (sp.) who treated us well the whole night, gave great recommendations, and helped us have a blast. Really good cocktails as well. The lamb was an absolute standout dish, so tender and well-cooked and the sides were all great. Also loved the truffle fries with it, but everything was great!

Wonderful experience for my 21st birthday. The most friendly staff. Wonderful service with a smile and unmatched food !! Definitely would recommend !

Probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in bath bar none!! We have pretty much eaten in most of the restaurants in Bath. The food was amazing , atmosphere just perfect, service just the right type of attentive but not too try hard and they played great music!! What more could you want. We will make this our number one restaurant. Can’t believe it has taken us 9 years of living in bath to find it!!!

Passed this restaurant as we were walking into Bath and thought we would nip in with our puppy. Service was fantastic, food was fantastic! Nicest lunch we have had in a while 11/10.

My friend and I had a beautiful Sunday lunch in the Hive. I had booked in advance and asked if it was possible to have a table by the window, overlooking the river, thankfully one was available. Each member of the staff we dealt with was absolutely lovely. The menu is straight forward, as in 5/6 meat choices and included in the price is a large serving platter of potato, vegetables, roasted garlic and gravy, a massive Yorkshire pudding is also included. The food was delicious, I couldn't fault it. We also had the sticky toffee pudding and brownie and they were lovely. There are 3 seating areas on different floors and the decor is beautiful and quirky. Service charge at 10% is included in the bill. I would highly recommend the Hive.

A beautiful restaurant with an amazing view and atmosphere!! The food was to die for and the customer service 10/10! Prices were quite reasonable especially for the portions you get. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy good food with an amazing view of the river.

We stumbled across this place by accident really, as had come to bath for a day out for a mooch with the dogs. (Me, my partner and 2 hounds). We noticed a sign to say dog friendly so booked for later that day (Sunday Roast). When we came back we were greeted by some lovely ladies who showed us to the table, and came to take our drinks order straight away and asked if the dogs needed water. We were sat in the window so did some people watching, ordered our roast ( I went cauliflower steak and my partner the pork belly). It was refreshing to see a vegetarian option which was not mushroom or nut roast!! The food arrived within about 15 minutes and it looked and tasted amazing. All was freshly home cooked, and great presentation! Definitely one of the best places I have been for a roast dinner, and would highly recommend. Wish I could give you a rating on some pudding but was too full to order. Great setting, atmosphere, decor, food, and dog friendly which is perfect. Highly recommend and would absolutely go back when we are back in the city!

Relaxed dining in a pretty setting. Wonderful service and delicious food. Special thanks to our attentive and welcoming waiter Xenia.

Amazing service. Amazing views. Amazing food. The duck breast was incredible. Recommend 10/10. Favourite restaurant in bath!

The Hive was an amazing restaurant, with a beautiful setting. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, especially the duck and the dessert was excellent too. We will definitely be revisiting the next time we're in Bath.

Absolutely lovely service and vibe can’t recommend it enough I loved it here Food was amazing!!!!! Thx so much for everything can’t wait to come again

Amazing food, flavours were incredible, compliments to the chef. Front of house were really friendly and accommodating, also dogs are allowed which is a bonus!

Friendly staff, lovely food, tasty deserts, would recommend to anyone who wants a lowkey but tasty dinner in bath

Food was excellent. Good price for an excellent Sunday roast. Tasty beef and great vegetables. Staff were friendly although not keen on serving tap water. We had to ask twice. Loos were a long way downstairs and there appeared to be nowhere to hang your...

Had a great evening, wonderful staff, food was great.10/10 definitely will going again,lovely atmosphere and restaurant

Fantastic restaurant! The tastiest food, beautiful table with a view, and lovely attentive staff. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

I don't like writing reviews that are over critical. I appreciate how hard it is to gain a good reputation so don't want to contribute to ruining that hard work. Saying that however, any visitor can only describe their own experience. It is up to...

Great food and the suvice was fast and always made sure we were happy, good location and a good atmosphere can't can not a bad word about the place

The most amazing food. Exceptional restaurant quality but a home cooked, family feeling. The people running this restaurant are exceptional hosts, combining great food recommendations, good humour and are great company.

We got three starters and fries. The nibble board stood out as our favorite—carrot kimchi was delicious! Nice selection of mocktails, too. Staff was great.

Amazing food, well worth the price, absolutely delicious. Great service and atmosphere. The monkey decoration in the corner was an added bonus.

The best roast we had during our trips in Uk. Service top 5 , amazing hospitality. We booked for an early dinner for New Year’s Eve , and everything was great including atmosphere. Will definitely recommend.

Yet again a fantastic Sunday lunch. We go out in Bath most Sundays for a roast and this is my favourite. It’s so nicely presented and tastes delicious! Highly recommend it! Staff are so friendly and efficient as well. A little gem in Bath

Lovely experience and good vegan options. Would definitely recommend when visiting Bath, a cozy dinner

I took my parents here for late Sunday lunch as it is nearby and dog- friendly. We really enjoyed it. The roast chicken supreme was perfectly cooked, and came with a lovely yorkshire pudding and a great selection of veg. The service was great too...

Lovely view onto the river if you get the right table. Not a good pick for vegetarian or vegan guests. Staff were friendly enough with the drinks and food menus having a reasonable variety apart from no vegetarian options, just one vegan option - a...

Great location right on the bridge. Super cozy restaurant with great food. Flavorful dishes and good drinks. Would recommend

The best duck I’ve ever had! My girlfriend and I visited based on a recommendation and it exceeded all expectations. The waitresses were fantastic and the food was to die for. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a 5* dining experience.

I’ve traveled the world. Eat in many places. Yet this was the best steak I’ve had to this day. Highly recommend.

Our first visit but, with friends who have been several times before. Food excellent - very good quality and plentiful. Service first class, in fact, some of the best table service I have experienced in a long time. Friendly, helpful and attentive. Highly recommended!

As good a Sunday lunch as we’ve ever eaten 😊 The service and quality of the food was first class. This place is a real gem. Will be returning soon

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was very attentive and friendly. Would strongly recommend this restaurant.

We are not from the area and could not recommend the food enough, so glad we made the journey to try the Hives amazing food and drinks. The hospitality from Xenia, Chino and Carmen was amazing and made us feel massively at home and put...

Recommended by a friend and we were very impressed. Lovely venue, excellent food and staff. The cost was reasonable for the high quality dining. Will be going back.

This is the second time we have been to the HIVE and it did not disappoint, it is dog friendly, the staff are attentive and polite, and the food is first class. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bath.

Picked this place to eat based on Tripadvisor reviews. What a great place! 4 of us had dinner here. Excellent food, outstanding service and reasonable prices. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Recommended to us by a local for the sunday roasts and so glad we managed to get a table. Lovely restaurant, friendly staff, great service and fabulous food. Highly recommend The Hive.

I try to come here every time I come to Bath and it never disappoints! The flavours of the dishes are always incredible and so well thought out. The staff have always been kind, engaging and attentive and quick with drinks/order etc. If you go,...

Cute spot, nice food, but not the best service. Very very slow and staff not overly attentive. Starter took almost an hour to come out and main was a bit longer! No apologies from staff when we chased for our food either.

Excellent staff, who put themselves out to try and find us a table when we hadn’t booked. Nice atmosphere, location and good food and drink. My advice is to book early to avoid disappointment, as it’s a place in demand

The Hive is an interesting restaurant on 3 floors. Classic decor. We are here with friends and had a good meal. We shared a platter which included warm bread, shredded carrots, tomato purée, olives and delicious capers. Our choices for mains included lamb and chicken...

Good restaurant.. lovely fish and chips over looking the river Avon.. great service and a reasonable wine list. Well worth a visit

Lovely meal at The Hive in Bath. Great atmosphere and great food. We had a lovely view over the river from the rear of the restaurant. A big thank you to Carmen and Chino for looking after us so well.

A lovely menu and great service. The pig’s cheeks, lamb and sea bream were excellent. The location is ideal and decor very conducive.

Lovely atmosphere and knowledgeable service. Thanks so much! Birthday dinner for Dad. Very good steaks.

On a wet Wednesday evening in December, Hive was busy enough to create a lovely atmosphere. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided really good service. The food can be best be described as delicious and lived up to our high expectations. The menu isn’t...

I chose The Hive based on reviews and location with a group of friends whilst visiting Bath for the weekend. It exceeded expectations. We arrived early evening on a freezing day to a warm cosy restaurant. Wonderful attentive staff, great atmosphere and amazing food. I...

Very lovely restaurant set out on different levels and in the heart of Bath. We had the most amazing Sunday roast here, everything was exceptional and the service was excellent too. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Best Sunday roast I’ve had! Plenty of food and friendly staff. It is very small, we had a pushchair in tow so we had to manoeuvre round the tables out front but we were sat at a nice table overlooking the river. Would definitely recommend

This was a last minute booking and what a great choice. Really friendly staff and great food served in a great atmosphere, will definitely try and go again next time we are in Bath. We had the Lamb and the Duck Breast, both superb.

The best Sunday dinner I have ever had!! The staff, restaurant and food were great. Catered well for gluten free.

Friday evening experience was just flawless. Exceptional. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was sublime. Duck breasts were perfectly prepared and much to our liking. We couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Really great service and good food -thoroughly recommend - many thanks. Would definitely recommend visiting. Thank you

Visited for dinner yesterday evening and enjoyed everything about this lovely bistro. Superb food packed with flavour, kind and friendly staff (even offered our little dog a water bowl as we sat down) and a really cosy atmosphere. Don’t hesitate to book, we had a...

Fantastic food and service with a lovely ambience. Relaxed but attentive staff and a complimentary limoncello to finish. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Loved the Hive. Great location. Great family service. Wonderful food! I had the roast lamb and it was wonderful!

My partner and I had a lovely meal here for our anniversary. We had the sirloin steak & the duck. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. The view over the river topped it off.

Myself and my partner both said this was the BEST roast dinner we’ve ever had!! The most amazing service, incredibly friendly staff, beautiful restaurant with such a lovely calm atmosphere even on a busy Sunday :) we will defo be back xxx

Wonderful Sunday roast, but the veggies were the true star of the show! The location is beautiful and the service top notch. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

With a fabulous welcome, excellent food, terrific service, and a great overall ambience, The Hive Restaurant in Bath was a fantastic find on our visit earlier this week. We'll certainly be back. Thank you team Hive!

Really nice dinner - booked for wife's birthday while on trip to Bath. I asked for a nice table via online reservation which we were given - overlooking the river was nice even at night. We particularly enjoyed the rib-eye steak and duck (which was...

Myself and my partner came here for an evening meal whilst visiting the Christmas markets. The restaurant is deceiving from the front and has lots of little nooks and cosy areas to sit. We had a delish meal and the service was fantastic too. Would...

The roast was delicious but we found the experience a bit odd. Having anticipated a nice long lunch, there were no starter options. Having ordered our roast and a pre dinner drink, our roasts arrived literally 5 mins later. They were tasty but bit disappointed...

Amazing atmosphere - amazing restaurant - amazing experience. This place is a MUST! Amazing, lovely, warm service by fabulous, funny and complementary ladies!! The food was incredible - best Sunday roast in a long, long time. Can't recommend this place enough. Come and enjoy the...

Cosy and atmospheric restaurant, perfect for an intimate family birthday celebration. Thanks to Sahara and Xenia for quickly rearranging our table to accommodate my elderly mother. Friendly staff, great food. Will definitely come back.

What a great atmosphere and what fantastic views this restaurant has. We went for Sunday Roast (and i can see why it is top 5 in the country) - The food was absolutely delicious and just the right portions. Everything had its own individual flavour....

Absolutely amazing service and food, very generous portion and the roast meats were spot on. Highly recommend the trio, we enjoyed every bit of it

We have recently moved to Bath and have been sampling the various restaurants and pubs for a traditional Sunday lunch. I visited The Hive for Sunday lunch after reading a number of reviews on Trip Advisor. As soon as we arrived, we shown a seat...

It’s one year now since the day my son got married and the Hive ‘forgot’ to tell us they’d cancelled our wedding day booking. A beautiful small wedding with just 10 of their nearest and dearest. I was in charge of booking the venue for...

I had such a wonderful time here with family celebrating a birthday. The staff were lovely and the food was absolutely excellent. We had a range of meat for starters and mains, all were delicious!

Wonderful place, amazing food and service The food was cooked fresh. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming

Fantastic food and wait staff- they even sang happy birthday for my partner! Wonderful birthday dinner and will definitely be back for the Sunday roast- which looks incredible!

One of the best Sunday lunches ever. Garlic infused chicken. Amazing veg. Friendly service. And we are fussy. Can’t recommend highly enough. Great decor. Special but informal . Made our day. Thank you.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Service was perfect. We were celebrating a friends birthday and she get got a complimentary glass of prosecco and a lovely birthday message with her dessert. Staff very welcoming and location fab over the river. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Great roast dinner & great service, would definite recommend to anyone visiting. Lovely views of the river also.

Exceptional food and great atmosphere….. the staff were fabulously attentive …… the food was delicious and the menu had enough choose but not toooooo much as can be found in other restaurants…. Great night
