Marlborough Tavern

Bath


The queen of Bath's gastropubs has food that's closer to that of a fine-dining restaurant – smoked white-bean purée, and crab and ginger salad rather than bog-standard meat-and-two-veg. Chunky wooden tables and racks of wine behind the bar give it an exclusive, classy feel.

Canny diners head here in the early evening to get 25% off the food bill.
