    BOTTOM LINE: Although the food was great, the service left a bit of a bad aftertaste…read more Located next to the infamous Sally Lunn's, Oak (previously known as Acorn - get it?! - and still listed as such on Yelp) is located in the core area of Bath. It's a small space, and I can't imagine there being space for more than 25-30 diners (or even less), and each table as relatively small in size (more on this later). First, the good part. The food remains the main attraction, and ingredients across the board tasted consistently fresh. Whether it was the HAZELNUT RISOTTO, the ROASTED COURGETTES/ZUCCHINI, the BEETS, or the TOMATO SOUP, I found they were prepared to a high standard. The dishes are meant to be sharing plates, but this can cause some table real estate problems (also, more on this later). But now, the not-so-good part, the comparatively poorer service, especially when compared to similarly-priced restaurants (e.g., Sotto Sotto), or even less (e.g., Sally Lunn, Yak Yeti Yak, etc.), and then the gall to charge a higher service percentage of 12.5%. For example, my group of 5 experienced both the problems of servers removing plates prematurely (when there was clearly uneaten food), but also not removing plates UNLESS requested to do so, despite finished plates being stacked to make room for new dishes. Similarly, beyond the initial ordering of water and drinks, staff didn't follow up on this, and we had to request new water jugs throughout the meal. Finally, although staff atitudes weren't negative per se, they did seem somewhat indifferent/detached. All these points may seem nit-picky, but I think it's not unreasonable to expect better service at these prices. Ultimately, Oak comes up on many recommended restaurant lists, but after this experience, although I'd still recommend it, I wouldn't be too upset if you can't manage to get a reso here given so many other great alternatives.

    Absolutely scrumptious vegetarian and vegan dishes that leave you feeling refreshed and satiated!…read moreAs a tapas style, the small plates are well-priced with the recommendation of ordering 2-3 per person and sharing amongst everybody. Note that the restaurant has rebranded to OAK Restaurant with a new website, but still has the same address and contact information. The menu is quite short with only a dozen choices or so, but each dish has the finest quality of ingredients and refined yet light taste. We ordered all the dishes recommended to us by the server and loved each one: - Nocellara olives (£4.75) - Beetroot tartare, smoked almond cream (£8.95) - Heritage tomato panzanella (£8.50) - Black pepper chickpeas, smoked cashew butter, summer greens (£9.45) - Jersey curd agnolotti, hazelnuts, spinach and butter emulsion (£10.75) Dessert was delicious as well: - Stewed plums, brandy ice cream, almond crumb (£8.25) - Dark chocolate and salted caramel tart, mint ice cream (£8.25) The restaurant was not that busy with only a couple other tables filling in after coming in for our Tuesday noon reservation. We were seated at a corner booth next to a window on the ground floor, which had a relaxing breeze coming through. The cost of five open jars of sparkling water was £3. A 12.50% service charge was added onto the bill.

    During recent years we have been regular diners at The Good Life.

Last week, when we ate there again, the visors had disappeared, what a disappointment. If visors are worn again then 5 stars will be well deserved.

The cafe is warm and welcoming, yes, cramped in the entrance where the servery is, but I tend to go early or late for lunch. Although tempted by the hot lasagne, or other dishes, I invariably go for one of up to 3 choices of utterly delicious nut-based roasts, of which a big chunk is warmed up if you wish. Chutney is a good accompaniment. As the fresh salad selection is so colourful and includes many interesting and inspiring combos of raw veg/fruit - I always go for the full platter offer - and crunch my way through them. Loose leaf teas and tisanes abound, with a pot of hot water in addition to the regular pot. Desserts to die for - but probably best fetched if you have room from the massive plate of salads! I tried a seasonal fruit and nut tart in December and it was truly scrumptious! [sounds like a song!!!!] The staff at The Good Life are friendly and knowledgeable about the food served. I sing the praises of the establishment to any friend I can, and have introduced several to it, all vowing to return.

This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

    We visited this National Trust self-service cafe on a visit to Avebury Manor (after looking at the…read morestones and adjacent St James's church). Even though it was a wet day (or maybe because of it) it was very busy. It's a standard NT cafe, with the emphasis on cakes, scones, etc. (They apparently also do proper meals but these were not available when we visited as it was mid-afternoon). We had a scone (with clotted cram and jam) and a slice of orange and poppy seed cake, with a pot of tea each. I tried the cake as it was an unusual flavour, and it was delicious. My partner's scone was nice but the (pre-packed) clotted cream was crumbly rather than smooth. (In hindsight we should have asked for another portion). We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The interior is a little rustic (wooden furniture, stone floors): fine if you are walking and having an outdoorsy sort of day. There is also seating upstairs which has views over part of Avebury Stone Circle.

As you would expect they are focussed on fair trade, organic food, coffees, teas and seasonal dishes so five green stars. We only got there late on a Sunday afternoon just about an hour before closing so there wasn't much left to eat. They had afternoon teas (scones/clotted cream/jam) but we'd consumed a lot if this English treat in recent weeks so we settled on great cappuccinos, sparking water and tubs of delicious ice cream from a local organic farm - I had ginger and my wife had mint choc chip and they were wonderful tasting. The scones did look lovely though. It was a really hot afternoon so we sat outdoors at one of their large shaded tables and enjoyed our fare. Again really worth supporting as there nowt coming from a crooked Westminster government who know the price of everything but the value of nothing abd know how to claim eye watering sums in 'expenses'. It these dishonest crooks could flog this place circa cut to a private operator based in the Cayman's it would be gone in a heart beat, as so much already has.
