"Firstly, if you are visiting for dinner have limited mobility you’re in for a tough time. Not only is it a distance from the car park the terrain isn’t the best, especially in the dark. It could absolutely do with better signage. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, relaxing, informal with friendly staff. The charcuterie plate was pleasant with plenty of pickles capers. A wider selection of meat would make this truly a stand out plate. The kedgeree scotch egg was a little bland very oily. The flavour was there, just really muted. Ribeye was particularly good value, not too fatty but more time could have been spent rendering this further. I didn’t appreciate the inclusion of the basting herbs, these were hidden under the steak easily found their spikey way into my mouth. The apple tart was disappointing rather expensive for the portion. The tart base was painfully brittle the filling a bland slightly sour apple purée. The Malbec wasn’t the best, very underwhelming, lacking colour fruit with very thin legs. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner"

"We really enjoyed our stay here for a weekend. Very clean room and we were lucky enough to have an ensuite with a separate bath and shower. We had dinner in the pub downstairs on the first night and it was delicious. Unfortunately we were too late to put in a breakfast order for Monday morning as we got back late on Sunday evening (after 5pm). But there was a good farm shop breakfast nearby. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating and we felt very welcome. We would definitely stay again if we are back in the area."

"I absolutely love bens cookies, my boyfriend and I come to bens very often for their delicious treats, however; today I went in and the customer service wasn’t good at all. This can be forgiven as everyone has bad days but I asked for cookie...dough ice cream, when the lady gave me my ice cream it was brownie flavoured. I asked ‘what flavour is this’ as I was pretty sure it wasn’t and she said it was cookie dough and walked away. She lied, it wasn’t the flavour I asked for and I was left with something I had payed for but didn’t want. Ended up throwing it away. Nothing against the products, they are amazing but I’d appreciate getting the right product, especially after I’ve made the effort and double checked."

"On our first trip to the UK we stopped in to the Coeur De Lion Pub for cider and lunch. Atmosphere is very local, and very friendly. Staff was wonderfully kind to us, very friendly, and since we ate outside brought our meal out to us as well. I hadn't tried Steak and Ale pie before, but for the next week after eating here I was chasing the same meal that I had here at the Coeur De Lion, Steak and Ale pie with garden peas. All in all between London, Bath and Brighton, I had 4 Steak and Ale pies over 10 days, and the variety offered here was simply the best. The Coeur de Lion seems to be a locals pub, if there is such a thing in Bath. Sequestered down an alley and out of the way, you'd have to either be lost, or looking for it, in order to find it. It is worth the trip, and next time we are in Bath we will visit again."

"The variety of appetizers, mains, and desserts we tried was delicious and perfectly prepared. However, we did have to remind the staff to bring out the second half of our orders, as it seemed to have been overlooked. Additionally, we requested extra cutlery and napkins, and had a bit of difficulty getting the waiter’s attention, but we understood it was a busy Saturday night, and overall, the service was still quite good. This place is truly special to us!"

"We came here on a bit of a whim, owing to its central location right next to the Baths. Having not booked we were greeted warmly and offered a table near the stage. It was wonderful to be able to hear the musicians so well but it wasn’t so loud as to be overly distracting and we were still able to converse and enjoy our afternoon tea with this accompaniment. The room itself deserves comment too- absolutely beautiful, it feels like a decidedly appropriate setting for a grand afternoon tea. The food itself was delicious. Sandwiches, savouries and cakes were almost perfect and you could taste their quality. When you’re presented with an afternoon tea it always feels you’re being ripped off, as though there is very little food for your money but, as ever, it was very filling and just the right amount of food. The quality and attention to detail further justifies the price for me. After our warm welcome the service deteriorated a little as well. It was nigh impossible to get a second pot of tea/ some hot water and when I did manage to ask it was treated almost as an imposition. It also took us an age to be able to pay the bill- although I could have happily sat in that splendour all afternoon."

"Since being vegan Wagamama has become one of my favourite chain restaurants. They have a huge separate vegan menu which offers so many interesting different options and they are constantly adding new things to the menu! The staff are always so accommodating and friendly too! I have tried the vegan ramen which was one of the best vegan ramen dishes I’ve had! It was so spicy and the amount of toppings in the dish were amazing! Also, I tried the vegan squid (mushrooms) which were so tasty and I’d never had anything like it since being vegan and they were 10/10! One of my favourite dishes here is the vegan bao buns which were light and fluffy with super tasty filling and great texture! The only thing I have tried here so far that I haven’t liked is the vegan gyozas which tasted so dry and grass-like; I wouldn’t order them again. Overall, I love Wagamama as a vegan and it will always be my go-to favourite vegan chain restaurant!"

"Comptoir is one of my favorite restaurants in Bath. Having visited Beirut frequently, I can say that Comptoir's food is authentic, fresh, and incredibly tasty. It reminds me so much of Lebanon. When my parents visited Bath, I took them to Comptoir. My Dad, who used to fly in and out of Beirut and eat there all the time, was very impressed by the food. This is a fantastic endorsement for the delicious taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine. We are lucky to live nearby and can enjoy dining there regularly. The staff is excellent and the restaurant is always fresh, clean, and lively. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed with a warm greeting and a vibrant ambiance that transports you to a different world. I highly recommend trying Comptoir - you won't be disappointed."

"I was here recently with my daughter who had never been brave. we both enjoyed everything we ordered. we had three tapas dishes to share for our main course the tortilla, the black bell and the deep fried fish selection that were served separately, but this was no problem, as it allowed us to really taste the different aromes. the portions were not huge, that is true, but we did not want to have a big heavy meal anyway, so we were perfectly satisfied with the portions sizes, especially since this has a little space for both of us to have dessert; my daughter wanted to taste the churros and I had the baskenkäsekuchen with a berry-comonote on the side. that were also delicious and after the cheesecake I was quite sure full! we had only one crippled with our food, so it was not expensive for what was very good eating, according to my opinion. And we also had a nice waiter, raoul, who also deserves a special mention for his pleasant wise and attentiveness. I also liked the decor inside and the casual mood. this was our first meal since the kovid pandemie started and our first meal in england since we moved here in juli 2020, so it was a special evening for us in many respects. thanks!"

"Really good food, and two for one cocktails the day we went! No, that hasn't influenced my review!! Ha ha). It does a combo of Mexican and Brazilian food. We all had either the fajitas or enchiladas, and they were really, really good. The service was a bit slow, like, yes, we're ready to order, but just kept going past. Oh well, have another margarita, I think this could be their plan! All in all definitely recommended"

"Dough is a pizzeria/restaurant run by Italians in the center of Bath. With many options for celiac, vegetarians and vegans, nobody will be disappointed; you can even choose the type of dough! They have white flour, whole wheat flour, corn flour… and the list goes on! During weekend it can get pretty busy, but even without a booking, they can find you a table in 10 minutes. The stuffed eggplant with tomato sauce was simply delicious, the sauce reminded me of the summers I spent with my brother at my grandma’s house, when after the beach, she was always making a simple pasta al sugo for lunch, with her tomato sauce that no one could ever match! If you are going to Dough you must try their pizza, period. The pizza parcel is filled with grilled zucchini, aubergines and vegetable cheese. The pizza dough is stone baked and crunchy at the ends and the melted cheese is to die for. Also, the prices are affordable and if you have a reusable bottle, they will refill it for you. Let’s hope they will open in London soon!"

"Went as a party of 4 for dinner on our first night of a weekend in Bath after the restaurant being recommended by friends who have dined there before saying it was the best food they had tasted outside of Thailand. So, was expecting great things and boy did it deliver. The sharing platters as starters were amazing, So much flavour and the presentation was top notch. The mains were out of this world. I had Pad Kee Mao it was so good I bought the cookbook to replicate at home. Everyone in our party couldn't say enough good things about the food. The guy serving us was brilliant, great personality, fantastic sense of humour and nothing was too much trouble. Also had a beautiful Buddhist watch you know who you are). If you get the chance go, it's awesome. Just make sure to book in advance."

"Booked online as we had been gifted a voucher for afternoon tea. Arrived and were asked to find a small table and seat ourselves, told a member of staff would be with us shortly. After 25 mins nothing and my husband had to approach person who appeared to be running the outdoor service. He admitted that we had been forgotten. Our hot drinks order was taken and we were encouraged to view the extra drink menu. Our afternoon tea arrived and was delicious. At no point did anyone come to take a further drinks order and again we had to approach staff. The bill arrived promptly enough and had to explain the voucher as there was apparently to evidence of email and staff on duty communications. Sadly this marred our visit, as service was distinctly lacking!"

"on the way back to devon from a motorcycle tour in wales to stay away from the autobahn, brought us to the beautiful city bath, had to ask a local taxi driver if that was a motorcycle parking close. a short walk later we found all bar one, the personal was just as beautiful as the city, I was ready to sell and drag to bath. the coffee was super sat outside and watched people going over their daily business. I'm sure I'm back."

"the hotel is located in a small street right in front of the capital, yen sushi was a great foundation. the staff was very friendly. eating is great and just like some other sushi restaurants, depending on the color of the plate they pick up, it determines the price. for me and mt partner we have spent 50 pfunds. the quality of eating was great, although I felt that some dishes were not great or consistent. they can also order hot food, the only thing I thought was strange is that the waitress empty teller would bring with their hot food to represent his worth, instead of just making a note on the table that took place on the table, which then made it a little tight for others. despite the above one still a great visit. they'll be sure if they want it. if their regular sushi eater, they can lack the fish in quality."

"after a few really bad visits it seems to have picked up a bit again. that's our local, so let's keep trying. eating was nice yesterday when a little slow on the arrival. they were short staff, but seemed to come in order. app for order seemed not to work properly and complained to me 3 times, but always said the payment failed, they were happy to pay me back. eating was nice enough. the external structure they build is good, meant that it was warm enough to sit outside yesterday."

"A Great British Pub but not a Great British Meal for 2 of us in a party of 4. To be fair the pub overall is nice and the beer good. But I was bitterly disappointed by the Fish and Chips. Advertised as small or large portions for £13.95 and £17.95 respectively the former should have been on the child’s menu it was so pathetically small. I rarely write negative reviews but this sort of offering gives Pub food a bad name. And to be honest the quality was only so so and in no way compensated for the price size. Other dishes on the menu have similar size options so just beware when you order. I was offered another choice to make up for it but once you’ve started and everyone has their meals I never like to ‘start again’."

"The pizza was really tasty the cheese was good and the topping combos were lovely. I had the bbq jackfruit pizza which was definitely the right choice. However I think this was 1 of maybe 2 vegan pizza options? I didn’t ask but i’m sure other pizzas could be adjusted to be vegan! My pizza came with peppers (which i asked for without) so lost all my cheese by being fussy and picking them off but still well worth the money. Good prices and good service otherwise!"

"This morning, I enjoyed a lovely plant on the archway at this restaurant. I had delicious tea and toast to go with it. The friendly staff really made the experience special, and the food was both good and plentiful, especially considering the affordable price for trying somewhere new. There were many parking spots right in front of the restaurant. It was quite unique listening to the trains passing overhead right on time."
