Good pre-theatre option near the Hippodrome. The set menu was efficient and the food arrived promptly. Staff handled the rush well. A solid choice if you&#39;re on a schedule.

The Turkish sweets and pastries here are all made fresh in-house. I found the baklava particularly lovely, not overly sweet. The staff were very friendly and let me try a few things before I decided. A nice, relaxed spot for a treat.

The afternoon tea was so inventive, and I really appreciated how well they handled my gluten allergy. The room had lovely natural light too.

The grilled octopus was the standout. Perfectly charred, tender inside, not rubbery at all. That smoky flavour with the lemon and herbs was spot on.

Sunday lunch here is a proper feed. The portions are huge, and you get a good selection of veg. Service was friendly and on the ball. A bit of a wait for the bill, but that&rsquo;s a minor thing.

The service here is spot on. Staff were friendly without being overbearing, and they kept our water glasses topped up throughout the meal. It just lets you relax and enjoy your food.

We popped in for a family lunch. Russ prepared our meals, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the salad greens were crisp. It&#39;s nice to find a place that clearly cares about the quality of their produce.

The gluten-free pasta was actually hot and tasty. Not something you get everywhere.

Been coming here for years. The new look is much brighter and cleaner, which is a nice change. Had the fish and chips today, still as good as ever. Just feels a bit more pleasant to sit in now.

Popped in for lunch. Got the dirty fries with chilli and cheese. Ate them outside with a half Guinness. Messy but good. The old building is pretty cool inside.

The scallops were spot on, and the duck was just as good. But the real win? The vibe. Perfect for catching up with friends, not too loud so you can actually hear each other. We ended up staying for ages just chatting.

Fresh seafood and authentic spaghetti. Friendly staff made for a nice weekend lunch.

The tandoori salmon with dill had a lovely char. The fresh herb flavour was just right.

Great spot for a quick lunch. Love the racing theme, feels cosy. Staff are friendly, make you feel welcome straight away. Food came out fast, exactly what I needed. Solid choice for a bite.

Steak and ale pie was decent. But the venison pie... that one really hit the spot. Perfectly seasoned, proper comfort food on a cold day. That&#39;s the one to get.

The burgers were the standout. Juicy patties, proper brioche buns, and the chips were spot on. Classic pub food done right.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back - the Sunday roast is always spot on, just like you remember it from last time. That&#39;s what you want from a proper local.

Lovely spot for a quiet pint. Sat outside in the sunshine, which was just right. The atmosphere is very relaxed, you can hear all the happy chatter around. A really comfortable way to spend an afternoon.

Loved the cosy, traditional vibe here. It&rsquo;s so relaxed - the perfect spot for a comforting meal when you just want to unwind. The decor has such a nice, warm feel to it.

The all-day 2-for-1 cocktails were a great find. They really nailed the tropical vibe with them, super well-made. The whole place just has that relaxed, beachy feel, even though we were just in for a casual lunch.

First time here and the food came out so fast. Really liked the authentic flavours, especially the pad thai. Staff were super friendly too, made it a nice lunch.

The steak and ale pie is the reason I come here. The pastry is crisp, the filling is rich and the gravy is thick. It&#39;s a proper pub classic. The separate dining room is handy if you&#39;re in a rush for a show.

Quick table for six despite a booking hiccup. Good service, sorted a food mix-up fast. Perfect for a quick Sunday bite.

The gluten-free options are pretty good. Staff like Toby know their stuff about cross-contamination, which is reassuring.

The pub quiz was a fun way to spend an evening. It felt like a proper community event, which was lovely. The prizes were a nice touch, too.

Decent brunch spot. The Garden Brunch was tasty, and the tea was just right. Prices are fair for Bath.

Rabbit starter and curried monkfish were spot on. The chocolate millefeuille was the highlight.

Perfect for a quick lunch. Grabbed a pint and a burger, service was fast. Good spot right in the centre. Beer choice is decent, some wines are a bit steep though.

Had a lovely evening with great food and a nice atmosphere. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

The Sunday roast is a proper feed for a group! Massive, thick slices of all three meats. We shared a platter and still had leftovers. The vibe is spot on for a lazy catch-up with friends.
