About The Bath Priory

8.5Food
9.5Ambience
8Value
The Bath Priory is the city's grand hotel dining experience — a Victorian country house hotel with walled gardens, a spa, and a restaurant that combines the formality of its setting with cooking that has become increasingly ambitious under its current kitchen team. The room is among Bath's most beautiful: high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and a view of the walled garden that changes colour with each season.

The kitchen works closely with local Somerset producers and the hotel's own kitchen garden, which provides vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers throughout the warmer months. Menus are Modern British with classical hotel-restaurant structure — amuse-bouche, starter, fish, main, cheese, dessert — executed with the consistency of a kitchen that serves the same standard every night rather than saving it for inspections.

The wine cellar at The Bath Priory is one of the county's finest: several thousand bottles with particular depth in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and older vintages of English sparkling wine. The sommelier's knowledge is considerable, and the by-the-glass selection is broad enough to support a tasting menu pairing without requiring a full bottle commitment on every course.

Best Occasion Fit

The Bath Priory is the right choice for client entertainment that requires grandeur. The hotel setting, walled gardens, and exceptional wine cellar signal investment without ostentation. For proposals, the private dining room overlooking the gardens is the finest setting in the city.
