    Pork belly bite
    Sherry Z.

    Mouth melting pork belly bike. Splendid beer selection. Can not miss this place when in Bath.

    This spot was recommended by the tour guide who showed us around the city of Bath. After our tour we decided to go try it. It was around 2pm on a Monday but there were several tables of people seated. It was very quiet and relaxing. The food was great! I had a simple dish of herbed sauteed mushrooms over toast and a salad. It was very fresh and a great contrast to a lot of the pub style food I had been eating. So glad we came across it!

    If you're looking for a selection of local ales and ciders, good conversation and friendly service there are two places in Bath I'd recommend for you; The Raven and The Salamander. The Salamander attracts a younger crowd than The Raven which means it can get a bit raucous on a Friday and Saturday night when finding a seat becomes your number one goal. Tucked away just behind the touristy high street, I always get the impression that The Salamander is a pub for locals. That's not to say that tourists and visitors aren't welcome here too! The drinks aren't particularly cheap, but the range of what they offer is worth the money in my opinion. Great for smaller groups or couples, larger groups are probably best going to a bigger drinking hole.

    Review Highlights - The Salamander

    I discovered that it's not the easiest thing to find beers that I enjoyed in Bath, but I thought the Bath Ales were brilliant.

    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!

    What a relaxing spot for a pub lunch. While exploring Bath for the day, we were taken to the…read moreCrystal Palace for food and drinks. The environment was nice and the food was decent! The pub is unassuming on the outside but nice inside. There are two sections those for indoor dining and those wanting to sit outdoors or hang by the bar, we chose the latter. Outside is wonderful with a nice patio, plants, and plenty of shade. With the warm weather, this was a popular spot for folks. Service was friendly but limited. You order and pay for your food and drinks at the bar, they bring it out to you and that's it. I had a Lemon Chicken Pesto Sandwich. It was fine but nothing spectacular. I wish there was more filling to the sandwich, it was very bready. The fries (chips) were crispy and soft. My group enjoyed their meals as well and they looked good. Bath has lots of eateries and shops. If you're going to the Roman Baths or are in the main area, Crystal Palace is a nice spot to stop in for a bite or drink. They're located off Abbey Green near the courtyard.

    Omg yum all. It's so satisfying to smell the really good aroma of fine cooked food in the air…read morebefore you even eat and then you see this platter arrive at your table full of perfect french fries with a whole fish laying across the top of it. It was heaven on earth. Then I got to eat it and realized that it truly was everything that I've heard it is For perfection.. It was so much fun eating here with my family and having all these wonderful dishes available it was something I would look forward to coming back to anytime. Totally worth the money.
