The Waldegrave
The Waldegrave is the kind of place that quietly gets everything right. Set in the heart of Bath, it blends the feel of a proper local with the polish of a well-run kitchen and bar. Downstairs, it’s all easy charm, good drinks and a relaxed buzz. Upstairs, the dining room leans a little more refined without losing that sense of warmth.
The food is thoughtful and seasonal, with a menu that moves between comforting favourites and lighter, modern dishes. It’s the sort of place you can drop into midweek for a glass of wine and something simple, or settle in for a longer meal that turns into an evening.
There’s a confidence to it that comes from knowing exactly what it is. No fuss, no overreach. Just a genuinely welcoming pub that’s as good for a quick pint as it is for a proper night out.
