The best restaurants in Lyncombe Bath and North East Somerset South West

Amazing choice of choux pastries and macarons. We had a box of six choux and although some flavours had sold out, the ones we had were amazing. Will definitely be returning

A small, atmospheric venue with amazing and attentive staff. Have to call up the restaurant for a booking and easy to let them know of any allergie/intolerance/dietary restrictions(quite accommodating as well!). The 7 course surprise menu lived up to the mystery, the bread in a bag with soup is all I want to eat all the time now! (Pictures will be added) We also had an amazing, sweeter orange wine, it went really well with all of the dishes. We had a voucher and only spent £40 on the bottle of wine, but I do believe it is £100 per person.

Not great, ordered pork fried rice and a praow beef with egg fried rice and crispy salt and pepper squid Everything was quite bland, the beef was the most flavourful but the egg fried rice was mushy and not very fresh, pork rice tasted of nothing really and the the crispy squid was just battered not crispy and didn't have much if any s&p flavour. Wouldn't be ordering again.

I had the most delicious tasting brown seeded baguette. The filling was very generous, enhanced with fresh basil and the bread was freshly baked accompanied by a great decaf coffee and a mini panettone. Highly recommended.

Visited today for egg and bacon rolls. Staff superb, especially Elliott who was an excellent server as was the other young lad working alongside him. Our visit today was heartwarming and thoroughly enjoyable. What an amazing place! Nick and Mitch

Waiting for owner to get quality back!

The Bear offers a great atmosphere for couples, families and friends. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is excellent, especially the Sunday roast (vegan option is one of the best I’ve had in Bath). It shows loads of different sport, without the vibe of some other sporting pubs, and Ali is always happy to switch the TV to the rugby (even if it is to watch Bristol Bears!). We moved locally in the spring and this is a great local pub!

Este local tiene 2 lados, bar y restaurante. El menú está disponible en ambos lados. Lado de la barra puede ser ruidoso. Nos sentamos en el lado del restaurante. Lugar muy concurrido, pero el personal era alegre, el servicio no se retrasó y la comida era muy buena para un pub.

Serve a good pint, atmosphere is great, and sell the best packets of ham and mustard in the business.

3.5 stars overall - but rounded up to four. We ordered bbq ribs, crispy fried beef, egg fried rice, plain rice, chicken chow mein and sweet and sour chicken balls. I supplemented the meal with my own slow cooked pork in a 5-spice sauce. This is a basic Chinese takeaway that seems to be doing ok as a business. I’ve moved house recently and this is now my nearest takeaway. I’ve been driving past it for years and always wondered what it was like. Now I know. It is a basic takeaway doing the standard stuff. Not terrible but not fine dining. The one star reviews are just as unrealistic as the five star reviews in my opinion. The ribs were fine. Tender enough and sauce not too overpowering. Not as tough as I’ve had from other takeaways in Bath recently, so a thumbs up, overall. Sweet and sour chicken balls was the standard bits of chicken battered and deep fried and served with a pot of luminous bright red gloopy sauce. No vegetables were harmed (or used even) in the making of this dish. Separate sauce is appreciated - chicken still crispy. A classic of old school takeaways. It was what I expected and I wasn’t disappointed. The crispy shredded beef was for my daughter. Not much beef compared to the batter in this one. (I’ve had similar before, so I think this is the style of this dish.) And because it was served in the sauce in a sealed container it had no great chance of being crispy when I’d got the food home, despite being close by. I’ve had better but this wasn’t as terrible as made out in other reviews. Chicken chow mein was a generous portion. Salty but not too bad. I would have liked the option of some Chinese leaf / Pak Choi - or some broccoli or something, but this might not be that sort of takeaway! Staff seemed friendly. Got some free prawn crackers and a calendar. Freebies always go down well. All served on time, and hot enough. Not too expensive nor would you expect it to be. The best dish I ate was the slow cooked Chinese style pork. Oh hang on. I cooked that, sorry! Overall this was fine, as expected and I will be back, especially as I’m close by now.
