What an experience. I love this hotel and the restaurant was 5 star. Absolutely delicious, fine dining experience and personable at the same time. Can’t wait to come back. Just check out the photos! Thanks guys see you again. James Rosie

The booking for the Sunday evening meal for 2 was made via e-mail conversations, direct with the hotel, and proved to be quick, easy and efficient. It is suggested that no matter when you are going that a reservation is made in advance to ensure you get a table. The restaurant is situated within Bailbrook House Hotel on the outskirts of Bath and has free parking for those who are driving. The restaurant is situated in the basement of the House and is where the heritage of the historic mansion really comes into its own. It has a cosy ambience with original vaulted archways made from traditional Bath stone adding to the intimate feel, plus plenty of tables overlooking a secluded woodland scene and countryside beyond. On arrival we were greeted, shown to our table and, have to say, the service provided throughout was very attentive, well-informed and quite polite. The evening menu has a diverse mix of seasonal dishes, classic flavours and firm favourites, there being something to suit almost all. The wine menu was equally diverse, though the mark up may put a drinker of fine wine off. All dishes are made from scratch, featuring, where possible, seasonal and local ingredients cooked fresh to order. Well worth the wait as they were good quality, well presented to a high standard (compliments to the chef on this). Portions are slightly on the small side, but each dish was a creation with pleasant groupings of textures and tastes. Items of note from our chosen dishes included the starter of ‘Scottish salmon’ and the main of ‘Hampshire venison’. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and would use it again, however this is ‘Fine Dining’ that comes with a price tag to note for the wines!

The restaurant had a stunning atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff. I highly recommend it and the prices were reasonable as well.

We had a wonderful Sunday meal at this restaurant. The servings were plentiful and of excellent quality. They offer 2 or 3 course options for a fixed price. The staff is efficient and friendly. There were only a few customers during our visit, but a large group was expected later.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this unique restaurant. The staff were attentive, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. They had a great selection of wines too.
