If you don't mind being treated badly by rude and incompetent staff, The White Hart is the place for you.
This eatery was highly recommended to my new wife and I by the proprietor of the B&B we were staying at in Bath, and we booked a table for 7.45 on Monday 27 June 2011.
On arrival, rather than being shown to our table, its general direction was given by a woman dressed as a waitress. We found the table thanks to a chalkboard with my surname on it. There were no menus, so we sat and waited for something to happen. Nothing did. As it was quite hot we gained the attention of the waitress who had 'welcomed' us and asked whether we could sit outside. She said there would be no problem, but she might not be able to serve us, so we'd probably be best ordering at the bar. At this point we told her we didn't have menus, so she shoved one into my wife's hands.
After finding a table outside, I returned indoors to order a couple of drinks at the bar. There were a group in front of me being served, but when it came to my turn the barmaid disappeared. She returned with a bottle of wine, and whilst opening it asked what I wanted. I told her, but apparently my request was too complicated for her to deal with at that point and she disappeared again. The original excuse for a waitress appeared a short time afterwards and told me she would be with me in 'just a moment', then she disappeared again. I waited for a few minutes longer then fetched my wife from the garden and left.
