I’m not a fan of the Sunday Roast; why, in this day in age, would I get excited about a plate of dull meat served with sloppy, often unidentifiable veg, soggy spuds, a jug of dark brown gloop and an undercooked pancake batter iceberg? Oh okay, I know that I’m supposed to get all misty-eyedContinue reading “Sunday Roast at Ludo, Bath”

Mai Thai, Chelsea Road, Bath
The hippocampus (there’s one in each hemisphere of everybody’s brain) has a lot to answer for. It’s responsible, see, for helping us to form long-term, declarative memories – the ones that contribute to the personal autobiographies that we all carry around in our heads. The hippocampus is particularly good at helping us link emotion withContinue reading “Mai Thai, Chelsea Road, Bath”
Goldstone Food at The Curfew, Bath
It’s 7.30pm on a gloomy Thursday evening and the long-established pub on the London Road/Bathwick Street junction is buzzing in the way that proper pubs used to buzz before the high street casual dining emporiums started filling sprawling, vacant spaces with fake stag head wall mounts, mass-produced velvet wing chairs, phoney vintage beer ads andContinue reading “Goldstone Food at The Curfew, Bath”
The George, George Street, Bath
George Street, Bath: I’ve only very recently waxed very lyrically about it, when reviewing a restaurant further down one of Bath’s liveliest thoroughfares that’s known locally as ‘the strip’. Summary of that waxing for the TLDR brigade: an overheard comment made by a passing tourist along the lines of “it looks like one of thoseContinue reading “The George, George Street, Bath”
Charm Thai, George Street, Bath
Blackpool has just turned its legendary lights on for the 2025 season. But as dusk starts to set on a warm, damp September evening in Bath, George Street’s own glow-up comes into its own. Turn left from the top of Milsom Street and both Robun and The George, on the other side of the road,Continue reading “Charm Thai, George Street, Bath”
Thailand Wok, Moorland Road, Bath
Thai food is pretty much my comfort zone go-to on any occasion; in my world, too much Panang Curry is never enough. It’s just as well, then, that we have multiple Thai restaurants on our Bath doorstep, from the casual to the old-school spectacular with way too many ho-hum takeaway options in between. And now,Continue reading “Thailand Wok, Moorland Road, Bath”
Sydney’s, Bath
The Scallop Shell (Bath, est. 2015)… or, Noah’s (Bristol since 2023)? If you have the opportunity to eat at either one of the Rosser family’s restaurants, don’t pass on it! Even without my bidding, it’s unlikely that you would; both of them easily top all manner of the ‘most recommended in Bath and Bristol charts’…Continue reading “Sydney’s, Bath”
Thai Balcony, Saw Close, Bath
My inbox is drowning under press releases, I’m negotiating my way by past new kids on the block every time I walk through town and I’m spending way too many midweek mornings recovering from the excesses of a lavish launch party the night before; after way too long languishing in the file marked “nothing muchContinue reading “Thai Balcony, Saw Close, Bath”
Emberwood, Bath
Queen Square — created by Twerton-born revolutionary architect John Wood the Elder in the early years of the 18th century — was the first Georgian square created in Bath. Wood the Elder lived at the epicentre of his visionary, speculative design plans at 9 Queen Square from the first phase of construction in the lateContinue reading “Emberwood, Bath”
Sarthi, Walcot Street, Bath
And so it came to pass that Sarthi recently magpied its way into the premises recently vacated by Pomegranate (née Aqua – keep up at the back!) on Walcot Street – and already, it’s a welcome addition to the Bath independent/plant-based restaurant scene. At first glance, 88 Walcot Street looks like a rather formidable stone-frontedContinue reading “Sarthi, Walcot Street, Bath”
