    Decor...nice
    Peter C.

    Nice place, nice staff, nice seating and nice food. A tad bit touristy but generally a good pub. Definitely worth a visit while shopping in Marlborough. The food is your standard pub fare but there are many places to eat here, little nooks, out door seating, basically lots of interesting stuff. Would love to have been there for and evening, enjoying the ales, etc. Definitely your stop when you are shopping England-Style!

    Ready to eat!

    If only all "British" grub tasted like this... 1. This isn't one of those pubs that typically serves greasy fries and chicken strips. It was more like gourmet "pub" food that was reasonably priced. Of all the fish and chip dishes I tried during my vacay in Bath, Oxford, and London, the ones here were the b-e-s-t! 2. I don't remember specifically what the rest of my family ordered (burgers, pot pie, and grilled chicken dishes) but I had a bite of all of them and it was great. My brothers said the beer on tap was really good. 3. Nice, laid back atmosphere with with a friendly staff. Our waiter/bartender was a doll, I just wanted to pack him in my suitcase back to San Diego......for my girls back home of course ;-) But I'll be back Marlborough.... You def. have to stop by if you are in Bath...Cheers!

    This place is great! The food, the service, the ambiance! We booked a table for an early dinner at 5, it was not crowded - perks of eating with a 3 year old! They even have a kids menu! The server was really kind and talkative. The manager on duty was also really nice. The food was fabulous I had the vegetarian curry dish / it was SO good! By the time we finished around 7 - the place was starting to fill up! Id go again.

    Fish and chips with mushy peas. (A bit of tartar sauce in the fish in the pic.)

    We did not have a reservation, but were seated. Close to the door but still okay. Nice selection of beer on tap. I ordered the fish and chips. The chips were triple cooked, so perhaps that's why they were on the large side. I actually didn't like the chips at all...too large, sort of heavy tasting. But then again I prefer small crispy chips. The fish was really good. My partner had a burger and really enjoyed that a lot.

    Wonderful bistro pub. Excellent food, excellent service, a warm atmospheric bar, and courtyard garden. Can't recommend highly enough.

    Our first night in Bath and we were looking for a pub experience. We had read about Garrick's Head…read moreand gave it a try. They have several local ales on tap and some "Real Ale" cask conditioned for a traditional experience. Sadly, there was no roast beef when we arrived so we'll have to wait for the classic Sunday roast. Steak and ale pie, and a butternut squash pie were good substitutes. This is a popular spot, especially for outdoor seating. We sat inside in a cozy dining room but if the weather is dry outdoors is a nice option.

    Found this spot from Rick Steves's travel book...and a great pick! Just on the outskirts of…read morecentral Bath, this delightful classic British pub has lovely interior with whimsical decor yet classy at the same time. Service was a confusing at first, but was just swell once we were seated...the leftside is a side is a traditional sit down restaurant service, the right side is a classic pub style where you order everything at the bar, and the expansive outside patio is self service as well, a completely taken over by smokers and vapers like every other European patio. £20 FISH & CHIPS! The fresh beer battered haddock was thick and crispy on the outside, and moist and tender on the inside, perfection!, The chips were pleasant enough, though crushed minted peas were just okay...maybe because they day prior I had some incredible mushy mint peas at another pub. Still a great plate overall! £20 SHORTCRUST PIES...wife went with the Chicken, Leek, and Herb...wonderfully rich and savory, with flavorful scent and warm, buttery pie crust. Lovely! Also came with seared greens, braised red cabbage, buttery mash potatoes, and rich decadent red wine gravy. £7.5 STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING...gooey, sweet, sticky, buttery, and fantastically wonderful!
