Circus Restaurant was the top suggestion by our B&B hosts of dining options in Bath, so we delayed our visit until our last night as a special event to mark the end of a great visit to this little city. In the event our B&B hosts had given us excellent advice: we were delighted with our Circus experience. We noted... More

Brilliant, walked away with a big fat smile, service was excellent, food was unhurried but timely, fresh home cooked food, portion size brilliant. Original menu ideas too. Only one moan but to be honest us rather than them, there are no new world wines on menu so I would say if your a full bodied red, rather than light French... More

Thank you for your kind review. The reason we don't have new world wines on our wine list is that we try to avoid not only huge air miles on what we use but also the kind of mass produced wines that you find in most supermarkets. We have cultivated a relationship with independent growers and producers in Europe from... More

We were told about this restaurant by our hosts in Bath so our expectations were high. Sadly we left very disappointed. After being seated we waited over 20 mins to be asked what we wanted to drink and the service went down hill from this point. Starters came and were lovely, mains arrived and were eaten and enjoyed but at... More

I apologise unreservedly for your disappointing service on Saturday night. There are no excuses to be made as somebody should have noticed that our usually efficient waitress, who let you down so hopelessly on this occasion, was struggling to cope due to a personal trauma earlier on that day. As you can see from the previous Trip Advisor reviews and... More

This is a gem of a restaurant. Fairly small and family run, and the food is fantastic. We were so disappointed we couldn't get in on a previous visit to Bath, so we booked well in advance this time - essential to book on Fri - Sat. Eat downstairs in the winter where you don't get a draught form the... More

What can I add I haven't said In the title. 1ST CLASS. VALUE FOR MONEY. I do have one criticism. They don't sell wine by the glass.

We barrelled in on a Wednesday evening with no booking, just the recommendation of the owner of the B&B we were staying at. No hassle, within a few minutes a table was found an we were seated and entertained by friendly and efficient staff. The food was excellent and, perhaps not the best thing to report, but we reckon the... More

We ate here for dinner on a recommendation from relations and were not disappointed. Our table was downstairs where there was a good atmosphere and we were served by a very pleasant waiter with good knowledge of the menu and a sense of humour to go with it. The food was excellent. Highly recommended!
