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

Take your pick of menus from pioneering chefs including Michelin-starred restaurants The Olive Tree and Restaurant Hywel Jones at Lucknam Park to ensure an extra special night to remember.

If you’re after a more casual place to eat, Bath has a great selection of welcoming gastropubs both in the city centre and in the surrounding countryside – some of which host live music, such as the regular jazz shows at Green Park Brasserie. 

Bath also has its fair share of cosy cafés, chilled out bars, thriving local producers and passionate artisans. You can also learn how to prepare delicious dishes from cuisines across the world at Simi's Kitchen and Pasta Laboratory.

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 surrounds 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.
