A fantastic stay in a picturesque location, beautiful views from the rooms and restaurant. Friendly welcoming staff and clean rooms. The dog welcome box in the rooms is a brilliant idea aswell as the room names with references to the hotels history. Safe parking under the hotel which even managed to fit my van inside. A nice green area to the side to walk the dog in the morning was also useful. We have stayed once to see friends and it was so nice I stayed again a couple of weeks later for work.
Unfortunately both the service and food at The Bank were well below what one could reasonably expect from a restaurant of this type. The service was exceptionally slow and the food was more than a little overcooked - and this, with drinks for £100+ for three covers. The Restaurant Manager was apologetic but words are, as they say - easy. We shall not be returning and from the less than full occupancy others have clearly already made that decision.
What a great lunch stop! The steak and ale pie with mash and veg was out of this world as was the broccoli and Stilton soup… the bread was awful, stale and freezer burnt… the server was very apologetic about it… would def go back here again! Mmmm sorry no photos only took video for YouTube and it doesn’t allow me to upload video!
Found this little gem
Never tried Sri Lankan food before and this did not disappoint
Very flavoursome and varied
Staff go above and beyond to explain and make suggestions
Lilan the manager? Came out and spoke to us personally
Nice touch
If you’re looking for overpriced food, glacial service, a menu designed by someone who’s just discovered oat milk, and a manager with all the charm of a parking warden, this is the place for you.
We booked a table for three (plus three small, well-behaved dogs) a week in advance. Despite giving them a heads-up about the dogs, we were thoughtfully crammed next to a large, noisy party in the busiest corner of the pub, like being seated in the mosh pit of a Coldplay concert.
Then began the Great Wait: 40 minutes of being spectacularly ignored, watching other tables — who arrived long after us — enjoy drinks, starters, and main courses before anyone even glanced in our direction. I’ve seen glaciers move faster.
The menu? Sparse and uninspiring, like they hired a “Head of Creativity” from a tofu conference. It leans heavily on vegan and gluten-free options, which is fine if the food is good, but not when you’re being charged artisan prices for supermarket-standard fare.
I ordered the chicken burger, allegedly marinated in gochujang. Now, I’m not saying they lied, but if there was any gochujang involved, it must have been whispered to the chicken from across the kitchen. The burger was basically fine.. think Wetherspoons on a good day, but at £20, you’d expect a little more than “vaguely edible.”
All of this could have been forgiven — overpriced, underwhelming food is practically a national tradition — but the real lowlight was the manager. Rude, grumpy, and radiating the energy of a man who peaked around 2003.
After one of our dogs (who had been quietly snoozing under the table) barked when a waitress nearly stepped on him, the manager stormed over to deliver a stern warning: “One more bark and you’re out.” Good to know they take noise so seriously, if only the same policy applied to their karaoke-sized party next door.
In hindsight, we should have left right then, sparing ourselves the disappointing food and a final bill that felt like it should have come with a ski mask and a note saying, “Hand over the cash.”
In summary: this pub is trading entirely on fond memories and pre-pandemic TripAdvisor reviews. Avoid it unless you particularly enjoy being overcharged, underfed, and scolded like a naughty child for existing.
A little gem! Myself and family enjoyed breakfast here while visiting the area for an event. I am vegan and had the Vegan breakfast. This breakfast had no "fake" meats which was extremely refreshing. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection and it was the most delicious vegan breakfast I've ever had! The rest of my family loved their meals too - and all noted how perfectly the eggs were cooked. Highly recommend! No photos as we ate it all so quickly.
We had a weekend break in Bath and one of our hotel guests recommended Antica to us. We were not disappointed. As well as the food being really exceptional , Jenny our server was good fun and very attentive which added to a fantastic night. Portion sizes are also VFM. Would highly recommend.
Friendly staff. Had to wait for fresh pasties - no problem. Generous fillings. We had a traditional and a steak and Stilton. However, was disappointed. I threw mine away. Not enough Stilton. Pastry soggy on inside.
Other half eats everything and he was disappointed in his too. We had such high hopes!
We definitely prefer Looe Bakery.
