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

Visited for a late lunch. The place was filthy, had to clear my own table and many nearby remained uncleared the whole time I was there. There were 2 lads apparantly clearing but they appeared to be working in slow motion. The "omlette" was a disc of cooked egg in a bun with a few leaves. It tasted of nothing at all except for a curiously sweet jam which was under it. Certainly completely free of cheese. Quite nasty. Won't be back

The bacon and sausage in the Cornish Stack were burnt to the point of tasting like charcoal. I won't be going back for breakfast there again. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

Stopped here a few times during my 2 day stay in Bath. The staff was friendly. The store was very hot with no air con during a summers day. Even their chocolate items were melting which is not good. Felt sorry for their employers. Quite a small one.

We stopped for lunch, and had great cheese toastie, carrot cake and coffee/tea. But no crisps ? Theres a supermarket the other side of the wall, don't even need to go outdoors. But apart from that, very nice, thanks.

Popped in here as the Google reviews said there was a fire. Was not disappointed! Great fire and we were lucky to find a seat right by it! But there are very few chairs by the fire. Music was very loud and a bit heavy rock for me.

I have a pet peeve against staff being dressed down in front of the public by management, but unfortunately that is what happened while we were at The Garrick. It doesn’t matter how good the food and drink is if you’re going to sit in complete discomfort after a grumpy manager has a very loud go at a young waitress just because she made a mistake. We don’t care about mistakes as we like being served by humans; we don’t like when bullies cause the same young girl to almost cry while being shouted at mere feet away from us while we try to enjoy our food (though I don’t think this should happen behind the scenes either, of course.) From reading another review, I see this is not a one-off incident. Not worth the awful atmosphere.

One of the better JDs we've been in

Food is okay and good atmosphere, but definitely horrible service. Most of the waiters don’t know what they’re doing, and it takes forever for them to come to take your order.

We came as a family for lunch and we were terribly disappointed. It has a fantastic view of the river and all the great makings for an excellent pub, but unfortunately the food was very poor. We ordered from the lunch menu, and we were served a dry club sandwich with hardly any chicken and a halloumi wrap that had minimal halloumi. The children’s meal was bigger than the adults and full of grease. We expected a decent meal for the price. It’s such a shame as this used to be a fantastic place for food.

Overall, our experience at Café Nero was disappointing. The tables were dirty and sticky, there was used cups/plates/cutlery in a large box next to the seating area, the café was cold, the atmosphere was dark and it looked run down. The toilets were disgusting; they smelt horrible and needed to be cleaned. Nonetheless, the upstairs seating seemed nice and the staff who served us were very welcoming and friendly.

This is a return visit to this spacious cafe above the store and next to the library. Our morning coffee and snacks were fresh and tasty.

Arrived at about 4am to book our car in for parking! Wish we hadn't! It was a stony, under lit. pot holed yard. One man with a head torch, badly informing people where to go. Found the check in desk, one lady, trying to check in a queue of people, whilst answering the phone at the same time, which didn't stop.,a run down, far too small makeshift lean to. It was pouring with rain, we were trying to get in and check the car in, people were trying to shelter from the rain. Far too small, it looked like a farm building. The minibus arrived, we had to wait for the driver, he had gone to smoke a cigarette. The bus was disgusting. Smelt like a farm vehicle. Anyway, arrived at the airport in time!!! When we got back, we rang the number to come and collect us, which they promptly did. Didn't check anyone's name... got back in the minibus, another foul smelling minibus, to take us to get our car. The driver put his foot down, didn't slow down for speed bumps, thought we were going to go through the roof. In the daylight , the check in place looked horrendous, and not fit for purpose. Had to carry our suitcases through the car park, as it was too stoney to safely pull your case, felt like the wheels would have come off. Drove home in the car, all the way home, could still smell the stale aroma from the minibus. Won't be using again, and wouldn't recommend it either.

On arrival to sit outside the table required cleaning. We asked the waiter if he could possibly clean the table (politely). He replied he was too busy. No other communication and never returned. We asked another waiter to wipe the table which he did but with one wipe. I live in Bath and proud of the city attractions. I was accompanied with friends from another part of the country. Not a great impression. Staff need to be trained not only in how to clean tables but how they interact with customers. Regrettably on this occasion it was poor!

ridiculous long wait.... told to sit down and they will bring everything over....40 minutes later our Toasties arrived but NO TEAS... told we had to que again tables not cleared often enough .... countless tables FULL of used Crockery.... took one member of staff a good 80 minutes just to get topside of it Come on Marks you are better than this

Sorry Grace Dent your taste buds must be contaminated with all that Posh food! After seeing your programme about Greggs Sausage rolls we tried our first one today. Horrible……insipid sausage and greasy aftertaste. At £1.20 a rip off. Trouble is people are so used to fast food, they think it’s good! Had to have an apple to cleanse our pallets😩😡
