  “THE MOST INCREDIBLE SPOT IN BATH Book a table - have the best dinner of your life. My friend and I came here on our first night after a bad dinner and so sad we couldn't eat here twice... we came the first night for several cocktails and some bar snacks - which blew us away and forced us to book a table the next evening. We went all out with starters, a sharing steak (for one) 7 negronis, wine, desert and cheese... It felt like we had the whole menu. It was absolutely incredible. The flavours were exceptional, the service was amazing. The staff, the atmosphere, everything made this place my new favourite. The steak was cooked to perfection, the negronis were out of this world and the scallops had some unusual pairing of flavours that worked SO WELL. I can't wait to come again one day. Thank you for an amazing evening Walcot.”

  “Most definitely the best venue in Bath for many reasons. The drinks, the food, the atmosphere, the staff are all spot on. I guess I have been here around 70-80 times. It’s never disappoints.”

  “My wife and I came to Walcot House in Bath to celebrate our anniversary, and there was a lot to like. I'd popped a note on the reservation that we were celebrating, and we were warmly welcomed at the door and kindly asked if it was a special occasion. We said it was our anniversary, and they seemed genuinely pleased we'd chosen Walcot House, as were we, because the venue looks great. We were walked through to our table in the restaurant, which has a lovely open kitchen and a good vibe. To start we shared the hand dived scallops with Cafe de Paris, the focaccia, and the burrata with fennel, orange and olive salad, candied walnuts and sourdough crumb, and the scallops were the standout, really really nice. For mains my wife had the chicken, ham and wild garlic pie with buttered greens and chicken butter sauce, and I went for the roast Wiltshire Horn lamb with a lamb shoulder and potato cake, peas, broad beans and mint. Both were really good and we were both happy with everything we ate. The one thing that let it down for us was the occasion itself. When we were handed over to our restaurant waiter, who did a good job serving us, it seemed like nothing had been relayed about the anniversary. It's nothing dramatic, but in the past, including the night before just up the road in Bath, we've been given a little celebratory note or a kind message spelt out in chocolate on the dessert plate. We never asked for it, but it's a lovely touch and it always lands well. Without it, the meal just didn't quite feel like an anniversary meal, which was a real shame given how much we'd enjoyed the food. We've no ill feeling towards the place at all, and we'd happily recommend Walcot House for the cooking, but having had some really special occasion meals elsewhere we came away feeling ok rather than amazed. If you're after somewhere lovely to eat then it's well worth a visit, but if you're marking a special occasion it might be worth bearing that in mind.”

  “A very pleasant lunch at Walcot House. The three course set menu for £25 is very good value, and the food tasty and filling though the soup and main (risotto) were a little salty. Very nice atmosphere and warm, attentive service.”

  “Enjoyed a work Christmas lunch. Great food and service. We had sharing platters for starters and mains, everything was incredibly tasty (the beef was a little on the rare side for me though).”

  “A lovely Sunday afternoon lunch for a birthday celebration. The service was lovely and we were left to it. The food was delightful - warm bread and butter to start with! We had three courses (it was a celebration!) and each was as tasty as the one before. For a Sunday afternoon the restaurant area was busy, but it wasn't too overbearing and was easy to speak to each other.”

  “We enjoyed a wonderful evening in the restaurant. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food and drinks were really delicious. The atmosphere was good although we were a bit early in the evening - I suspect it gets more of a buzz later on. It was quite expensive but good value for the evening we enjoyed.”
