Eating
Out
While we would love you to dine in The Olive
Tree every night during your stay, we fully understand
that you may wish to sample some of the other culinary
delights available in and around Bath.
The following information is not meant to be definitive
guide to dining out in the area. Rather it is a commentary
on some of the restaurants that Helen and Laurence have
enjoyed eating in over the last couple of years, We believe
that these restaurants consistently deliver good food,
a great atmosphere and value for money. If you would like
any advice on where to eat, please discuss your needs
with the team. |

The
Bath Priory.
The Bath Priory is a bit of a must. Head Chef Chris
Horridge has been cooking at this privately owned hotel
for the last 2 years. His cooking can be described as
quite adventurous with plenty of use of seasonal produce
and herbs from the extensive kitchen garden at the hotel.
The restaurant is formal, service very attentive. Extensive
and excellent wine list.

Lucknam Park
Similar to the Bath Priory. Lucknam Park set on the edge
of Bath is a wonderful traditional country house hotel.
Hywel Jones has again been here for a couple of years
and has maintained the restaurant dining experience to
the highest standards. The hotel and grounds are worth
the trip out to see as the house itself is grand without
being austere. |

The Pinch
Christophe Lacroix has consistently turned out modern
French cuisine in this small but atmospheric restaurant
on Margaret’s Buildings just off the Circus. Dishes
are well presented and packed with flavour. Refurbished
in 2007. |

Hudson Bar & Grill
The newer of Richard Fenton's restaurants in Bath. Any
lover of a great steak will enjoy this restaurant. Located
at the top of Walcot Stree, the atmosphere is very relaxed,
the service friendly and the menu reflecting a typical
New York Grill. This is one of our favourites in Bath
and we have never been let down when out with a group
of friends. |

The Firehouse Rottiserrie
A well established favourite on the Bath dining scene
for over 12 years. This was Richard Fentons first restaurant
venture and delivers consistent Californian cuisine. Great
Texas rubbed chicken and jalapeño coleslaw. Set
right in the centre of town, this is one of Bath’s
great lunch spots. |

The Beaujolais
Bistro.
This restaurant is somewhat of an institution in Bath,
run by the genial Jean-Pierre Auge. This is a great French
Bistro just off Queen Square. Busy and bustling, great
value wines by the glass and bottle, a simple menu of
homely French cuisine. Go as much for the atmosphere with
friends as somewhere to eat. |

Gascoyne Place
We have eaten here on several occasions at lunch and dinner.
The dining areas are quite small and the tables a little
cramped. But the food is well prepared and it is crossed
between a restaurant and gastro pub. It is in a great
location for somewhere to eat pre or post theatre as it
is just across the road from the Theatre Royal. |

|
 |
|
La Flamma
This is a new restaurant on George Street offering traditional
Alsacian cuisine in a contemporary restaurant setting.
It is good fun at lunch or perfect for an early evening
supper. |
|
| |
|
Gastro Pubs
Bath has lots to offer on the gastro pub scene. Food quality
can vary but most offer reasonable standards of dining
in great locations. |

The Marlborough Tavern near Royal Victoria Park
The Chequers on Russel Street |

Cafes
There are many cafes in the centre

a sandwich. However it is worth seeking out the following:- |
|

|
Cafe Shoon on the third floor
of the Shoon shop on Old Bond Street.

Milsom St.
