Gastro Pub

Bath

About the restaurant

DRINK, EAT & SLEEP IN THE HEART OF BATH
A Georgian Inn with uncommon quality, The Griffin has been welcoming locals and visitors to Bath for nearly 300 years.

Tucked a stone’s throw away from the bustling city centre, the pub offers a lively, but laidback space to unwind – over a pint, over a meal or overnight.

We’ve got outstanding beer, wine and spirits behind the bar, with no end of cosy corners to enjoy them.

We’re here for the proper pub.

This is the second time I and a group of friends have had such at the Griffin and once again we were not disappointed. The landlord is extremely friendly and welcoming and keeps his real ale very well. The food was, once again, delicious.

The Marlborough Tavern

£26 to £40

Gastro Pub

Bath

About the restaurant

Just around the corner from Bath's Royal Crescent, The Marlborough Tavern combines the atmosphere of a local pub with the food quality you’d expect of a top restaurant. Two AA rosettes, and inclusions in The Michelin Guide and Good Food Guide bear testimony to the quality of both food and service. It’s no wonder it's won the Bath Gastropub of the Year title more than any competitors.

Food is essentially, though not slavishly, English in character and takes advantage of locally sourced produce wherever possible. Its food reputation is matched by their service - always friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and there's an extensive wine list and selection of local ales to choose from. The Marlborough's pub garden is arguably Bath’s finest; a walled courtyard space, that’s perfect for summertime lunching and drinking.

We've eaten here before as our niece lives nearby. Lovely good with a good selection. Caters for all diets and has a lovely atmosphere. Maybe a little pricey but the quality is excellent.

We like Côte, our second visit in six weeks. It was busy especially considering it was a Monday. Food and service very good as usual. However for the second time, at least three dishes were not available. Someone meds to get on top of the re-ordering. Highly recommended.

I have never been to such an authentic Greek restaurant in the uk. Sitting outside in the sun I could have been sitting in a side street in Corfu Town with a menu to match and delicious Greek wine and Mythos. I’ve been twice now and will definitely return.
