Even the restaurant where I tried it for the first time didn't have a clue where to buy it!? I was just about ready to leave it as a beautiful memory, the stuff of legends, when I walked past Chandos Deli's window. Bingo! Found it. As well as serving local speciality beers and ciders, they also stock mouth watering local food produce including meats and cheeses. They also have equally delicious imported goods like oils, dressings and olives. The prices are reasonable for a quality, but if you're looking for a bargain you won't find one here. Chandos Deli is a must-go-to before any party or picnic.

DISTASTEFUL LYING STAFF Myself and my partner went to bath…read morethis weekend for our anniversary, we decided to go into this bar for a few drinks and a light lunch, all was well until we got accused of giving and taking drugs from a group of girls (who they couldn't control) the maitre'd had a terrible attitude towards the whole situation. She come over to our table, saying "we are going to have to give you your bill and you have to leave" I asked what for and she replied because you are doing drugs at the table. She then followed it up by saying " I see it. the table opposite see it and the whole restaurant see it" I was gob smacked and said what a false statement and complete lie she's just made up! All I was doing was being polite and amicable to the drunk girl, trying to get her away from me and my partner.(which the table opposite clapped and said "fair play guys you handled that drunk girl better then we would have") When I challenged the matrie'd she said she will get the CCTV to prove this is what happened. I waited for another 10 minutes and no one come to the table so I called the manager. I spoke to the manager and said I've just been accused of selling and taking drugs from this girl, please get the CCTV because maitre'd said she will get it to prove we had done such a thing! Conveniently the CCTV wasn't actually working in the area we was sitting in. By now my partner was upset and and panicking, I asked them to call the police to search me if this was what I was being accused of and nothing. The manager didn't have anything to say all he replied with was, I don't think that's what's happened I don't think you gave them anything I think they gave you something. Like this made it any better. The manager was as spineless as his maitre'd the whole company needs to go onto a customer training course and they need to think before they start accusing people of doing crimes on their premises. Absolutely disgusted it runined what was supposed to be a great weekend away. And I will be taking this further then just leaving a review.

Friendly spot with nice atmosphere. I would go back…read more I had booked a table for 7:30 p.m., but arrived in Bath much sooner than expected. I wanted to have an early dinner, so called to see if moving the reservation was possible. The response was friendly and accommodating. Upon arrival we were shown to a table and brought a bottle of tap water and menus. From there, service was friendly and prompt, but not rushed. My husband had cod fish and chips and I had crispy cod tacos. The filling on my tacos was delicious. The shells had that tough texture that signaled they needed to be warmed up more. The crisp on the fish and chips was good, but the fish may have needed just a tad longer. We had ice cream for dessert. We also had wine with dinner and after-dinner drinks. The prices were reasonable for what we got. Overall, the taco shells were the only big miss. We would definitely return to Marlborough Tavern.

River Cottage Canteen is a cool space (a converted church) and is a nice place to have dinner...but…read moreactually the food didn't quite live up to the environment. The fish board to start was pretty good (although I was surprised it featured pollack seeing as pollack was also one of the mains) and I like that they have cocktails featuring rhubarb and elderflower (two of my favourite quintessentially English flavours) but the main course was pretty underwhelming. We tried the pork belly, lamb and pollack. My favourite was the lamb which had a nice depth of flavour although my friend wasn't so keen on the white bean accompaniment which did have a somewhat sloppy texture. The pollack I found pretty bland; it came with couscous which I'm veer really that keen on - it always sounds good in theory but then has that slightly rubbish bitter aftertaste, it's hard not to make it meh. The pork belly had a surprisingly lack of fat, also it was beat and broke up into darker stringy meat - it was a strange cut, perhaps we got the end or something. So overall there was no main that was a clear winner, and for the price they should be doing better on the flavour front. For dessert we had parfait with biscuit which actually tasted pretty nice although how far is it really from a mini milk with a digestive? Perhaps something I shall recreate at home... Side note the ethically sourced wine which had a long name I can't remember (it's the second cheapest i.e. the one you have to buy so you don't look cheap even though you know actually it has the biggest mark up so really the joke's on you) tasted like delicious flowers and I would definitely drink it again.

Table for 4 booked for 8.15, arrived a bit early so decided on drinks in bar area, good choice of drinks including unusual cocktails such as rhubarb Bellini and apple and elderflower champagne!

I ordered cuttlefish and chorizo stew followed by beef brisket on polenta with sprouting broccoli and for pud vanilla panacotta with rhubarb compote - all delicious.

We visited the fish and chips takeaway on a mid-September Saturday night. The queue was quite long, probably a twenty-minute overall (however that is to be expected on a saturday supper time). The haddock fish supper was freshly-cooked to order - the batter was crisp and the chips were crunchy yet also fluffy inside. The oil was clearly very fresh as there was no unpleasant aftertaste whatsoever. For gourmet fish and chips the prices were as we expected. It's expensive, but not overpriced. You are clearly provided with a high-quality product and the price reflects this. Drinks are a little over-priced (£1.50 for a San Pellegrino). Service was quick and the staff were clearly focused on doing a good job of working the queue. The picnic area beside the take away was quite busy, so we enjoyed an unforgettable evening enjoying our meals in the car watching the sun go down over Chew Valley Lake. Looking forward to returning soon for a walk around the lake followed by another fish supper.

Can't speak for the restaurant, but as for their take away/delivery service…read more.. First time round food was OK, service was awful. Took 2 and a quarter hours to deliver, with me phoning them every 45 mins. Each time I was told to wait five more minutes. When the food did turn up I was over charged. When I phoned up to complain I was offered a full refund. A week went by, no refund. When I phoned up and asked about the refund they had no idea what I was talking about. It took TWO WEEKS for them to sort it out and I had to constantly pester them. In the end after A LOT of phone calls I was offered a refund in the form of curry. When I phoned to claim my free curry yet again it was a world of hassle. It involved about 4 phones calls and also took 2 and a quarter hours to deliver. To top it off this time time round the food was cold, overcooked and the wrong order. The food was actually delivered by the manger, who denied the fact that it took over 2 hours to deliver. When I offered to show him my phone with all the times of the calls logged he said he didn't want to talk about it and drove off. Overall the phone manner of the staff (and also the behaviour of the manager in person) was dismissive and incredibly rude. It felt like banging my head against a brick wall, and all I wanted was a curry. It really was an absolute shambles, not just once, but twice. There are loads of decent curry houses in the area, save yourself the hassle and go to any one but this.
