The best restaurants serving British food in Abbey Bath and North East Somerset South West

Visited Bath on a weekend away when the Christmas Markets were on. Enjoyed a fabulous Champagne Afternoon Tea at The Gainsborough Hotel by the fire. Delicious food and a very impressive location. Staff were also very helpful. Overall a very very pleasant experience. Would 100% recommend for anyone visiting Bath.

Straight forward simple food at very reasonable prices and plenty of space to sit and enjoy. Very nice to be able to find a cafe in such a central position in Bath without the usual high st chain paraphernalia.

Delicious steak, great service, lovely atmosphere.

Sun lunch Disappointed not to have real fresh roast potatoes what we had was square potatoes vrrr very deep fried not good Sun roast should have proper roast potatoes

Even though I only had a starter, I have to give a 5 star to this restaurant!! I planned my trip in Bath and reserved this spot far ahead. However, I fell sick right on the day and had little appetite. The restaurant was really understanding and they made me feel welcomed regardless. Was sad that their fish soup was out but their tomato soup was also delicious and made me feel better. There is also complimentary bread and butter. Don't know if I will be back in Bath in the future, but if I do, I will definitely give them another try.

The scallops melted in my mouth. The bread was fantastic! The pecan tart was amazing…this was my first Tasting Menu experience. I highly recommend The Elder! Excellent 👏🏾👏🏾

Such a good experience, go here for the superb high tea, the tea of course is great with a selection of endless refills. The food is really good too. You get to listen to a piano.

We just went for a massage, and the whole thing felt luxury. My partner and I had the ease your tension massage. We were asked to wait in a lovely spa lounge with a variety of waters, and then taken to our massage rooms. The masseuse was warm and professional, listening to specific parts I wanted targeted and working with skill. Great experience!

This is a cracking place. Superb small plate dining - if you don't mind small plates. Places like this are very rare, unpretentious, knowledgeable staff, beautiful and comfortable interior design, excellent menu. One can walk through and choose wine from their wine shop and there's no corkage charge - what could be better. Very good selection of off-the-beaten-track wines. One of the most enjoyable lunches we've had anywhere.

Just arrived Bath in the cold and feeling like warm lunch. Went into Piieminister - ordered a Moo pie and steak & Kidney. Both beautiful and filling. Longish edit but tasted fresh and piping hot so no complaints. Excellent waitress and service. Photo shows pjes half eaten - we couldn’t wait to get started !

I travel quite a lot with work and like to look for independent accommodation outside of Premier Inn and Travelodge.. I stayed here last night and I found it to be a SUPERB place to eat and stay at ! Bed and Breakfast was £74 and I had a lovely 3 course meal for £32. Genuinely, I have not found a better restaurant and accommodation throughout the UK for a business trip. The rooms are clean, classy, comfortable and such good value. This, alone, would guarantee a great review but then I went downstairs to the pub for dinner. It was truly delicious and full of flavour. I learnt that all of the menu is freshly and home made by the friendly and very talented chef and each course was piping hot. As a starter, I had the mushroom with goats cheese and onion jam. Main course was pork shoulder, mash with veg and incredible gravy ! Dessert was apple & cider crumble with custard. This was a 10/10 dinner and couldn't be faulted. All of the staff were incredibly welcoming. I visited on a Tuesday night and it was fully booked. It is obviously very popular and appears to be a hidden gem. Thank you to all of the team and I hope to revisit here in the future - this is a great place to stay at for a visit to Bath !

We had a delicious brunch here. We sat in the courtyard which was lovely (despite the rain). The staff were attentive and kind and the food was really tasty. Definitely recommend!

Best vege burger I have ever had in a pub. Great local place with really well kept beer.

The staff were friendly and prompt. The food was piping hot fresh. I tried the steak and ale pasty (yes that's spelled right) and my wife had the chorizo version. They were pretty good! The kiddos had donuts which they loved. They opened at 7:30 but didn't have pasties ready till about 8:30am.

Sat outside this Mokoko in Dorchester Street. Tables were dirty, cigarette ends all over the floor, tables not cleared - horrible - coffee on the other hand - lovely
