It’s hard to believe that Sarthi only opened the doors to its understatedly elegant oasis of plant-based South Asian food on Walcot Street little over a year ago; seriously, up until that point, what did we do without it? For sure, there are plenty of beyond decent Indian restaurants in Bath, from the traditional/conventional toContinue reading “Sarthi, Walcot Street, Bath”

The Halfpenny, Widcombe
This month, The Halfpenny – the gorgeous little (but not that little) all-day café-bar on the north side of Widcombe Parade – celebrates its second birthday… and thriving for two years in the current hospitality industry climate is most definitely a landmark to celebrate. How do you continue to make your business stand out inContinue reading “The Halfpenny, Widcombe”
The Crescent Restaurant and Bar, Margaret’s Buildings, Bath
I’m often asked where I like to eat when I’m not working. Not that, in my professional life, I go and eat in restaurants that I don’t want to visit; far from it. And if, by the way, I end up finding fault with a restaurant that I’ve been formally commissioned to share my publishedContinue reading “The Crescent Restaurant and Bar, Margaret’s Buildings, Bath”
The Circus Restaurant, Bath
Situated on the beautiful thoroughfare that links two of Bath’s most Iconic architectural landmarks (that’ll be The Circus and The Royal Crescent, then), The Circus has, for some 15+ years, maintained an upper-eschelon foothold on the Best Independent Restaurants in Bath charts for multiple reasons. Some might call it a bistro, others may liken itContinue reading “The Circus Restaurant, Bath”
William’s Table Pub and Kitchen, Bath
“Wow, this is exactly how I want our new kitchen diner to look!” Okay, so that’s not a typical start to a restaurant review. But perhaps it should be; after all, loving the environment you’re in before you even settle down to eat is surely a Very Good Thing, while going out-out for your dinnerContinue reading “William’s Table Pub and Kitchen, Bath”
Chez Dominique, Bath
If French actor, cultural icon and all-round cool guy Alain Delon was still with us and visited Bath today, I reckon he’d land at Chez Dominique for a late lunch and refuse to move until he’d drunk the last drop of Fleurie from behind the bar; it is, quite simply, “that” kind of place. ThisContinue reading “Chez Dominique, Bath”
Joya Italian Steakhouse, Bath
Pulteney Bridge was completed in 1774. The former Empire Hotel in Orange Grove was built in 1901. The Bath branch of Browns, also on Orange Grove, made a home for itself in the city’s former cop shop almost 30 years ago. The restaurant now known as Solina Pasta on Grand Parade used to be Frampton’sContinue reading “Joya Italian Steakhouse, Bath”
se7en, George Street, Bath
Friday evening, and Bath’s George Street “strip” is buzzing. The pleasure-seekers are out to play in force. Uber drivers, reluctant to stray too far from the peak fare action, are idling on every available kerb, and girls in too-high heels are doing a grand job of pretending to ignore the boys in too-tight jeans. AndContinue reading “se7en, George Street, Bath”
The Marlborough Tavern, Bath
Occupying prime leafy neighbourhood position just past the Royal Crescent on the edge of Royal Victoria Park, the Marlborough Tavern effortlessly brings proper pub and upmarket contemporary bistro together in perfect harmony, an appealing blend of friendly familiarity and a fresh, smart outlook in both decor and menus giving both locals and visitors alike goodContinue reading “The Marlborough Tavern, Bath”
Yum Yum Thai, Kingsmead Square, Bath
I’m not sure which one of us arrived in Bath first: Yum Yum Thai or me. What I am sure of, though, is that we’ve both been very happy here for around 26 years, which probably earns us both Bath institution status… and could lead to discussions about which one of us has aged best.Continue reading “Yum Yum Thai, Kingsmead Square, Bath”
