Quick info
About The Herd Steak Restaurant
On Argyle St in Bath, The Herd Steak Restaurant serves 21-day aged steaks in a basement dining room reached by a staircase down from street level. Painted stone walls line the space, and waiting staff bring dishes to the table. The 35-item menu runs from calamari and pan fried salmon fillet to char-grilled free range chicken breast, with pesto gnocchi and seasonal vegetables alongside twice cooked chips. Tenderloin and fillet steak sit on the menu too, and a sharing platter of mixed steak meat is offered for the table. The restaurant is family-run and opens daily, taking walk-ins rather than reservations. WiFi is available, with the password provided by staff on request.

“The Herd absolutely lived up to its reputation. I had the tenderloin cooked medium-rare, and it was exceptional—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of natural flavour without being overly seasoned. The accompanying vegetables were …”

“We come to Bath every year as unfortunately we don't live nearby and we always make the effort to come to The Herd each year since 2019 at least - no where else compares to here, cooked to utter perfection every single time. We took our children as although there isn't a children's menu my children really enjoy going as they were able to have the Steak Frites. We go at lunchtime so less people around however all the staff have always made them to feel welcome and nothing is to much bother for them - Josh was our host and he removed the wine glasses, asked if we want their food to come out first and never minding when they make a little noise The home made dessert was mouth watering and everyone enjoyed them so much, We are already looking forward to coming back!”

“A fantastic experience at The Herd Steak Restaurant! Located right under the bridge on street level, this basement-style restaurant has a really cozy and relaxed atmosphere. It felt lovely and cool inside, which was especially refreshing during hot weather. The main highlight, of course, was the food—the steaks were incredible, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Tip: I strongly recommend making a booking in advance, as the place gets very busy and crowded on peak days. It’s well worth planning ahead for!”

“What an incredible steakhouse! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by two fantastic members of staff who made us feel genuinely welcome. We were looked after throughout our entire visit, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. The food was exceptional, with one of the best steaks we’ve had in a long time. Combined with the excellent service and brilliant atmosphere, it made for a fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this steakhouse to anyone looking for amazing food and first-class hospitality.”

“Had a wonderful dining experience here. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to a high standard and full of flavour. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the evening. A special mention goes to Karl, who went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. After learning that I was from China, he even took the time to learn a few Chinese words to greet me. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience feel very personal and warm. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be returning in the future.”

Customer Review Summary
The steak sharing platter draws the most praise, with reviewers describing each steak as cooked perfectly, often medium rare and paired with red wine jus or peppercorn sauce. The tenderloin is called incredibly tender and full of natural flavour, and another diner calls the steak soft, succulent and full of flavour. Close behind is the welcome from staff. One host removed the wine glasses and offered to send the children's food out first, and another learned a few Chinese words to greet a guest. Steak Frites works for children despite no children's menu, and the creme brulee gets a recommendation. The one low review describes a meat platter that opened with a delicious fillet but continued with endless pieces of fat and gristle, and it also criticises uneven stairs, little ventilation, bare white walls and a very quiet room. One reviewer wants a longer cocktail menu with mocktails, and another suggests booking in advance because peak days get very crowded. One birthday party recalls a candle arriving at the end of the meal.
