Roast chicken chasseur.
Stephen P.

A few steps from the shops and the Pump Room is this discreet looking pub. I peeped into the windows to avoid a joint full of shaved heads wearing soccer shirts. The coast is clear. There are plenty of comfy chairs and bar stools with tables here. The decor is a little contrived with the mixed light shades, white tile walls mixed with funky big print wallpaper. If you haven't seen it before this will be novel. Down to the important things. Service was pretty good. You order at the bar and can even get a taster sampler of the beers on tap. The food was brought quickly and was pretty good. My haddock fish and chips was a little overdone as the batter was darker than normal; the mushy peas were cold so I sent those back for reheating. The chips came in a chip bag and the fish was speared with a traditional wooden chip fork. A+ for presentation! Sam's roast chicken chasseur was not so good. I thought it would be saucy like a stew, but it came out a bit dry with mash, spinach, gravy with onions and mushrooms. We had half a pint of ale and then a bit of a snooze before we headed back to the car.

Fish'n'chips, seafood platter, meat pie.

Stopped into the West Gate per our tour guide's recommendation. Pub style decor and you seat yourself after ordering at the bar. We had their delicious pear cider on tap along with the seafood platter(fish fry sliders, fried scampi, fried baby squid, pickles & chips) fish'n'chips, meat pie. All the food was good, pastry of the pie was a bit undercooked and the breading on the scampi(shrimp) was a tad much. Why three stars?? because we waited a little over an hour for our food. So try it out if you've got the time for a few pints before getting got food.

Fish and chips!

See all

Decent lager and steak and ale pie. Not too loud. Servers are cordial. Reasonably prompt.

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!
