Bath - any recommendations for places to eat

[Turmerictolly]

We're in Bath this weekend- any recommendations for places to eat please? We like gastropub type places - not formal but not fast food/chain either. We eat meat/fish/veg, Asian and other ethnic foods.

Don't mind driving out a bit to somewhere.

I could be 81. 😉

Actually I'm soon to be 60.

The banana bread sounds lovely, but my prediabetes says no.

That farm shop is good too.

Not keen on Sally Lunns. It's a bit of a claustrophobic tourist trap at this time of year. Also had terrible service there years ago and haven't been back since.

I love the Scallop Shell, delicious and fun

Henry's is amazing

Yes! It was delicious

@knittingaddict I was pre diabetic too - but have now reversed it after 4 months (phew) - back to 39 from 44- I'm also gluten free- so my H has the banana bread- I have eggs and avo on GF!!

Definitely the Hare and Hounds and The George in Bathampton

Just FYI it's Bath Uni open days Friday and Sat this week, and they are expecting thousands -the Uni is slightly out of town, but it still might be super busy and worth booking if you really don't want to miss somewhere specific!

@PatriciaHolm yes I meant to say that too, we live very very near the Uni- happy days!!! Guaranteed to be a driving nightmare round us

The Upton Inn, Upton Cheney was always a great pub for food and drink when I lived in the area. I used to enjoy a pint at the Old Crown at Kelston too. It does food but I don't recall having eaten there.

Thanks all, managed to get a booking at the Hare and Hounds. They said they were almost fully booked so glad that you've all helped.

Also seconding (thirding?) The Scallop Shell for fish. Quality but informal.

Noyas Kitchen - great vietnamese!

@Whyishewearingasombero indeed!!

Just thought I'd drop back in to update. Gorgeous view at the Hare and Hounds (we sat on the terrace), food was really nice but there was a gap of an hour between starter and main courses although those arriving later than us got their meals quicker. They took 10% off the bill. Ate the next day at Dough - looked a bit dingy but the food was amazing with a simple menu. I had a really delicious parmigiana and caprese salad with home made pesto. Ds had pizza, large choice of bases and traditional toppings.

We also saw Beckfords kitchen which looked lovely and had a garden and Circus - lovely, more sophisticated menu.

@Turmerictolly Dough does great hemp base pizzas and really good gluten free ones too - Circus is a lovely restaurant-

I lived near Bath for nearly twenty years. Left that part of the country for job-related reasons nearly thirty years ago now. We're planning a visit in a couple of weeks for the first time in years. This thread is giving us some great ideas! 👍

@Iloveabaconbutty if you do indeed love a bacon butty- I recommend Rosarios !!!

Olé for tapas

Thanks @Crikeyalmighty I've made a note!
