Beautifully preserved Georgian architecture, a thriving cultural scene and the picturesque backdrop of Somerset’s rolling hills are just some of the many reasons that make Bath a unique and stunning place to be. The small city has been attracting visitors from all over the world for centuries. Known for its stunning Georgian architecture and old-world glamour, Bath is also a modern city with a very cosmopolitan buzz.

## Bath Food Scene

Bath’s exceptional food and drink scene has gained the city a reputation as a delicious destination for a foodie break.

An abundance of local produce, as well as a thriving vegetarian/vegan scene, make Bath a great place to dive into food experiences. Ever-evolving, there is always something to capture your culinary attention in Bath.

Whatever the occasion and whatever the budget, Bath has something special for you. From pioneering chefs with Michelin stars which will ensure an extra special night to remember, to a great selection of gastropubs both in the city centre and the surrounding countryside.

Bath also has its fair share of cosy cafés, chilled-out bars, thriving local producers and passionate artisans. Don’t miss out on a visit to one of the city’s breweries, gin distilleries or local vineyards to have a tour and tasting, with the option to buy some treats to take home too.

Be sure to sample some Bath originals, such as the Sally Lunn bun which you can enjoy in the surroundings of one of the city’s oldest buildings, and don’t miss out on the quintessentially British tradition of afternoon tea served at a range of elegant restaurants, tearooms and hotels.

Bath also caters brilliantly for plant-based diets, with many restaurants and cafes specialising in vegan dishes and seasonal tasting menus, or you could brush up on your own vegan cookery skills at Demuths Cookery School.

## Bath Food Hub Areas

Each of Bath’s neighbourhoods has its own unique atmosphere, but all of them are filled with independent spirit…

### Kingsmead Square and Saw Close

With coffee shops, restaurants, street food and a world-famous cocktail bar, Kingsmead Square is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat and watch the world go by. Just around the corner from Kingsmead Square is Saw Close, the centre of Bath’s theatre district, which is home to the Theatre Royal Bath and also boasts a plethora of eateries, from wood-fired pizza at The Oven to the Bath burger institution that is Schwartz Bros.

### Green Park Station

Green Park Station is a former railway station that is now a unique shopping venue, lined with independent shops and stalls, as well as the popular Bath Pizza Co. The beautiful cast-iron roof not only provides year-round shelter, but also houses regular bustling markets.

### Milsom Street Quarter

The stylish Milsom Street is well-known for being home to one of the world’s oldest department stores, but you will also discover some independent gems on your wanders. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Milsom Street is Milsom Place, where you will find an array of shops and restaurants, including classic Indian cuisine as well as modern takes on the classic pizza.

### Artisan Quarter

The Walcot Street area of Bath has held the informal title of Bath’s Artisan Quarter since the 1960s, and brings together a vibrant collection of characterful independent shops and restaurants. There are some lovely restaurants lining the street, and you will also find one of Bath’s institutions, the community-owned Bell Inn.

## Food Festivals in Bath

Bath has a busy calendar of foodie events, from farmers’ markets and chef demonstrations to wine tastings and food festivals.

Bath Farmers’ Market is just as popular today as it was when it first began in 1997, running every Saturday morning at Green Park Station. Discover, browse and sample a cornucopia of foodie delights from fruit and vegetables to freshly baked pies, bread, organic meats and plenty of sweet treats, all sourced within a 40-mile radius of the city. Other local farmers’ markets can be found just outside of Bath in Midsomer Norton and Keynsham.

The Great Bath Feast is one of the most popular food events of the year and comes to the city every September for a weekend of events showcasing the best locally-sourced produce, with markets, chef demos and supper clubs.

Launched by Tom Kerridge in 2017, Pub in the Park is a three-day festival for food lovers, combining the very best of British cuisine from world-class chefs and Michelin-starred pubs with great live music and chef demonstrations, to create the perfect foodie experience.

We have worked with the smallest kitchens to ensure they have staff who are able to bring life to the food vision. We have also worked with some of the larger chain businesses, placing chefs that can follow their tried and tested kitchen delights.

## Is Bath famous for any food or drink?

Sally Lunn’s is a world-famous tea and eating house in the centre of the city of Bath. The building housing the eaterie is one of the oldest buildings in Bath, dating back to 1482. Sally Lunn, a young Huguenot refugee came to Bath in 1680 after escaping persecution in France. After working in the bakery and selling its wares around the lanes of Bath Abbey, Sally revealed a unique talent when she began baking a rich, generous brioche bun similar to the French festival bread that she would have been so familiar with before she fled France. The bun – designed to be enjoyed with either sweet or savoury accompaniments – quickly became a very popular delicacy in Georgian England, and it seems that customers were soon visiting the Lilliput Alley bakery specifically requesting the Sally Lunn bun.

Today, Sally’s original creation has earned legendary status around the world.

You get to go to different venues, you’re not stuck in the same job endlessly, not boring. You don’t have to go back when you don’t like somewhere and there is a variety of jobs.
