The Huntsman, Bath

Ah, The Huntsman – it's one of those pubs in Bath that just feels like a warm hug when you walk in, with its beautiful old façade hiding a space that's both elegant and welcoming. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the team there really shine; they're attentive and go out of their way to make sure everything's just right, whether you're popping in for a bite or planning something bigger like a wedding. The food is a real highlight too – those pub classics with a fresh twist are spot on, and it's fantastic to see options for brunch or family meals that cater to all tastes. It's pet-friendly and family-oriented, which adds to that inclusive feel, perfect for a laid-back afternoon. On the flip side, though, it does get heaving at times, especially during peak periods, so you might find yourself waiting if you haven't sorted a table in advance, and there could be the odd little niggle with service on busier days. All in all, it's a gem worth seeking out if you're in Bath; I'd say give it a go for that mix of great grub, charming surroundings, and friendly service – you'll likely leave with a smile.
