Tapas / Small Plates

Taunton

About the restaurant

Serving delicious World Tapas for lunch and dinner, but also Bistro classics at dinner time. Extensive well priced wine selection, organic, without added sulphites, quirky wines but not only.
In the summer, probably one the best, if not the best restaurant terrace to sit on in Taunton.
Dogs are welcome.

The Marlborough Tavern

Gastro Pub

Bath

About the restaurant

Just around the corner from Bath's Royal Crescent, The Marlborough Tavern combines the atmosphere of a local pub with the food quality you’d expect of a top restaurant. Two AA rosettes, and inclusions in The Michelin Guide and Good Food Guide bear testimony to the quality of both food and service. It’s no wonder it's won the Bath Gastropub of the Year title more than any competitors.

Food is essentially, though not slavishly, English in character and takes advantage of locally sourced produce wherever possible. Its food reputation is matched by their service - always friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and there's an extensive wine list and selection of local ales to choose from. The Marlborough's pub garden is arguably Bath’s finest; a walled courtyard space, that’s perfect for summertime lunching and drinking.

Is a lovely Gastropub near The Royal Crescent. Staff are fruendly and professional. Been there several tikes when stsying in Bath. Good choice of food but as a non garlic llover, I should have avoided the mushroom rissoto. Their fush and chips and steak are excellent. Can be a little noisy at busy times as children and dogs there but has a happy atmosphere.

We booked a table outside today, in late December (!) for Sunday lunch. No problem thanks to the nice cosy firepit table - others asked us if the firepit was just for show or really effective, we were able to reassure them that it was really effective,.and made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable - that seemed to work as all firepit tables were taken by the time we left! Food delicious as always, service excellent, a great experience today.

There were 11 of us as a family to celebrate Christmas all together. The staff were excellent and even moved the time by 30 minutes for the table as some had trouble parking. The table was positioned well so we could all relax. Thank you Côte Bath.

Food was nice, tables are nicely spaced out, so don't feel crammed in. It was lovely having music in the background. It was decorated nicely for Christmas. Staff were lovely but you did have to get there attention for a drink and if they were in another part of the restaurant it took a while for them to get to you. Apart from that it was lovely place to spend an evening
