Dinner was very tasty, steak was cooked to perfection as was the Shepherds pie and chicken schnitzel we ordered. You can tell the food is freshly prepared with quality ingredients as the flavours were excellent. The dining area is quaint as you would expect in a nice old pub with very friendly and pleasant waitresses who were all very friendly. Lovely experience.

Shepherds pie and spicy chicken burger were good quality, not too large and well presented. Most people were very happy with their meal.

Lovely food in a lovely setting. The new owners have quickly done well in providing quality and a good choice of food and drink. Plenty of outdoor seating in the garden with a stream at the bottom and well worth a visit

This is a v nice pub with friendly and pleasant staff. There's a stream in the garden albeit next to a busy road. I really wanted to like it but it was massively let down by the food. Mains took over an hour to arrive and I'd rather mine hadn't come at all as I couldn't eat it. My friends' food wasn't much better. Good luck getting things back on track.

Hi Will, Thanks for your review, We have just taken on the Bathurst arms and unfortunately we didn't meet your expectations so I apolagise for that. When we took over the Pub we had no head Chef and this would have been the reason for your poor experience. We now have taken on a new Chef and I hope to Wellcome you back to the Bathurst so we can rectify your poor experience. Thank you and hope to see you again soon. The Bathurst team

Very disappointing. We waiting 15 minutes at the bar for our drinks and it wasn’t busy. The chips were cold and soggy and we weren’t asked if we needed additional drinks, we had to get someone’s attention. They also added a 10% service charge which we were not made aware of.

We visited in April (I’m quite late reviewing) and I do believe there are different people running it since we visited which it desperately needed!! Such a shame as it’s a lovely location but when we visited the food was awful and of very cheap quality compared to the price we paid. Literally a burger and a handful of chips thrown on a plate. Not even an attempt to make it look nice. The service was good. Not a great experience but hopefully it’s much much better if there are new owners.

Most of the food was really excellent with care taken over special dietary needs; the fish and chips, however, was disappointing. We will be coming back but might not have the fish.
