TOWN+HOUSE By Always Sunday in Bath

Oh, what a gem TOWN+HOUSE is! I've got to say, it's one of those places that just makes you want to linger a bit longer with its cosy sofas, mustard yellow bar, and that homey dining space that's perfect for tucking into a stellar Sunday roast or playing a round of board games. The food's a real highlight – think melt-in-your-mouth porchetta and inventive cocktails that leave you impressed – and the team behind the bar are always up for a chat, making it feel like your new local haunt. It's buzzing with events too, whether it's a pub quiz that gets everyone involved or live music that adds to the atmosphere, so there's always something on to keep things fresh. On the flip side, though, service can be a smidge slow on busier days, and I've heard a few grumbles about things not being cooked to perfection every time, but honestly, that's a minor quibble in an otherwise brilliant setup. If you're in Bath and fancy a spot that's equal parts relaxed and lively, I'd definitely recommend popping in – it's got that perfect balance of being a proper pub while feeling a cut above the rest.
