The Locksbrook Inn in Bath

We are a group of 10 female cyclists and we pre-ordered lunch at the Locksbrook Inn on 9/6/25 because we were on a tight timeline that day. And everything was absolutely perfect! Beautiful riverside location, plenty of room for our bikes, great welcome, really great food and very prompt service. We all had a lovely time and highly recommend to others.

Excellent pub by the river towards the end of the Bristol-Bath cycle path. Great outdoor seating, really accommodating staff, and the food was great! We were lucky that we managed to get the GBP15 deal on Thursday eves for a burger and beer. It was so tasty! Will definitely come back.

We were staying nearby and walked down to the pub. It is a friendly pub on the river and has both inside and outside seating. We started with the salt and pepper squid with us sharing the fish and chips and casserole of fish. All of the food was outstanding tasting great. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is great for all.

*After posting my experience, Susie reached out to me to personally apologise for the behaviour of the one staff member. She explained that the kitchen facilities are limited so pre orders are very important to help organise groups and that there had been an issue with double ordering of one of the group. I would advise getting all the orders of your group before booking more than 12 people to avoid confusion in the future. So I will caveat that this has been my first bad experience at the pub and I give 2 stars as the experience was rectified due to what I assume is a more senior member of staff. I would not recommend the pub for large bookings as I've been told their kitchen cannot process more than around 12 ish orders at the same time. There had been a mistake with the orders where a waitress came over with an extra pizza as part of the prebooking (which I have the email I sent was not included) and when we told her it was not ours and we didn't accept it either she replied with 'well its YOUR mistake so YOU will be charged for it' I then showed her my email and I thought it had been sorted. Go to pay and see another pizza added to my bill and actually didn't realise because when paying the staff member (another person) repeated to me that I was paying for 2 Pizzas and one side which is what I was expecting. But when I look at the receipt I was charged for the extra 'mistake'. There are always issues with group orders and it was reasonably busy that evening so to be charged when we didn't eat (and this has happened maybe once in a few other restaurants over the years) but no one has ever insinuated i was lying? And charged me for something I didn't accept?! It really left a bad taste in my mouth. Someone has said it had changed hands recently so I would really look at retraining or hiring practices because the level of service from one person to another was so different. Kitchen staff and the guy who fixed my order was great 👍

I went today for a family roast. We ordered two roast chicken roasts and a childs burger as there was no children's roast option. Although the food was nice we only had vegetables to share! The roast was £18 and I believe having vegetables on a roast dinner would be standard. On the menu it doesn't say "you will be sharing these vegetables with another meal on the table". I mentioned this to the bar staff and even they have said "it's our number one complaint, I'll pass it onto the kitchen again".
