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

El té de la tarde era infalible. Excelente selección de tés y excelentes sándwiches, bollos y pasteles, además de sabrosos sabores asiáticos cálidos. Gran servicio,

Increíble pequeño café con un personal maravilloso, tan amable y servicial, la comida también deliciosa y tan buenos precios, tan genial para tener algo tan agradable para los niños en el centro de Bath.

This is a very special restaurant. Everything about it feels a cut above the norm. It has lovely lighting, elegant rooms, an enticing bar, well spaced tables and even a welcoming real open fire. Our waitress was vivacious and knowledgeable; attentive but not intrusive. The service was perfectly paced - no long waits yet not hurried in any way. Our steaks were utterly delicious and perfectly cooked. If you want quality food, in a relaxing and classy setting, the Hudson Steakhouse will be an excellent choice.

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

No.15, a boutique Guest House and restaurant and, first stop, cocktails with it’s weird and wonderful bar fashioned in scalloped leather scales to resemble exotic fish. Pretty cool place. I have a penchant for lighting and music which, combined, can either create or kill the perfect ambience in equal measure. The backdrop beats were on point, but the lighting was too severe for my liking. Nonetheless I downed an excellent Negroni before we were escorted downstairs to the small (36 covers) convivial restaurant. Like the bar the restaurant has plenty of attention-grabbing details including the vast array of eclectic portraits lining the walls and other odd arts and objects. The menu is welcomingly short with just half a dozen choices for each course which, in turn, gives the Diner assurance that the chef is confident in their ability to nail each one by applying the less is more mantra. For the most part we were served with memorable and seriously good cookery. Focussing on all that was great, I started with Bath chaps (pigs’ cheek) served with smoked bacon, pear relish and endive and followed with duck breast, swede and duck leg boulangère potato with a peppercorn jus. We shared honey roasted root vegetables. All excellent and surprisingly good portions. She kicked-off with ricotta and sage gnocchi which she declared was magnificent and followed with 30-day aged ribeye steak with a port and stilton sauce, roast mushroom and chips. Finally, we two-spooned a sticky toffee pudding in a Bath ale toffee sauce with honeycomb ice cream. Was this culinary perfection ? Well not quite with just a couple of small niggles. The pre-starter bread may have come from the legendary Bertinet Bakery, but it was, in all honesty, bland and served with butter. A personal thing but I prefer an extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic dip. The chips had an odd spry crisp’n dry after taste. The bill came in at a reasonable £132 (including 10% service).

Great restaurant, the atmosphere is excellent and the staff are attentive and welcoming. The food was top notch, I had the duck and the other halve had hake, perfection. My only criticism and even though they were cooked well, is that the boiled potatoes and broccoli were slightly disappointing. I would highly recommend woods to friends/family.

Really excellent meal and attentive service, highly recommend.

This is where you go for the atmosphere, with a live pianist.

I loved my stay at this hotel, but they double-charged me on checkout (despite me paying in advance) and nearly a month later they have yet to refund me over £1000 despite multiple assurances that they would do so. Everything about the stay itself was wonderful but this experience has turned what was meant to be a relaxing reset into something quite stressful.

Lovely atmosphere, great food, fantastic wine selection and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended

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 !

My first visit, but not my last! Super food, very impressed. Recommend a visit 👍

Best proper pub food i've had for ages, with great homemade chips. Lovely staff too! Beer also tastes great...like, well-kept and fresh which sounds weird but you don't actually get that everywhere.

Nice enough restaurant. Simple menu but very tasty food. Staff are friendly and efficient, prices are reasonable. Has vegan options and decent side options.

We have visited the elder a few times over recent months and the food and service have always been exceptional. So we thought we would experience their recently launched afternoon tea. It did not disappoint! The food was exceptional. As were their selection of fine teas. A Freshly made selection of finger sandwiches accompanied by the finest venison sausage roll and delicate cheese twist. To follow, the most beautiful treats. A trip down nostalgia lane with a gorgeous Battenberg slice, along with a sweet lemon and blueberry macaron. Then, what felt like an Italian twist on a tiramisu which was so incredibly light and delicious. However, to top these delights was a zingy raspberry cheesecake tart. This was so good! And the perfect way to finish. We were so full by the end that we had to share one scone between the 6 of us just so we could sample the finest homemade strawberry jam. We asked for a box to take the rest home. When putting these delights in the box we came across some warm Eccles cakes. Of course we had to find room for these little wonders. They were just something else! So, if you need that special place to eat in this beautiful Roman city then check out the Elder. You will be wowed. The Ambience, the service, the food….. all top class. This place deserves a star.
