Reviews of Cafe Walcot

Walcot House Bath - a lovely setting - beautiful decor with lots of greenery! Excellent service and top food! We had the roast which was excellent - generous portions and cauliflower cheese to die for! Lots of roasted vegetables - too many different veg to name! Plenty of tasty home made gravy. I would not usually have a roast but was recommended and it was delicious. Puds amazing and all homemade. Damson Amaretti crumble and rhubarb crumbles and a chocky mousse to follow! All delicious! Good selection of gin, wine, lager and craft beer.

We walked into the Dilly bar without reservations and the staff was extremely helpful in sitting us in the bar with full menu. As long as they know up front you want to dine in the bar they are ok with it. We had steak and fries with some really nice wines but skipped desert as we were too full. Really satisfied as our last meal in England prior to returning home.

We loved it here and everyone was so welcoming - especially to our dog! The small plates bar menu was a win. We tried most things on there plus some cocktails. Stand out items were the short rib croquettes, sourdough bread with anchovy butter and fritto misto. It was a wonderful relaxing setting and we'd go back.

This quite the late review but, here we are. After visiting this place 4 times (once for drinks, and twice for lunch and once for Dinner), I think this place is a nice visit on any given day. When we came here for drinks at around 4pm on a Saturday (used to London prices), we were surprised that drinks for such a place like this (looks pricey) were decent (approx £8). Their kitchen was closed but they were kind enough to offer homemade chips on the house while we all had a round of drinks and coffee. The first time around for lunch, we have tried their pizzettas and small salads along with coffee. While the second time we tried their beef ragú. For dinner, we went with their set menu of two items — a fish dish and a vegan pasta. Both were really good and fairly priced. It’s hard to tell you what’s on the menu as it’s tends to change every month. All that is to say, the vibe here is nice and clean — with staff pretty friendly.

Finally had dinner here this week with my wife, after walking past it many times and liking the look of it. Didn’t visit the nightclub downstairs, which was belting out music but presumably closed. Just sat in the front area for a couple of glasses of wine (which were excellent examples of their types) and some food. We started by sharing the mussels and this was a fantastic decision...unusually served on half-shells with a delicious breadcrumb mix in too...we had devoured much of it before I remembered to photograph the dish...sorry, but it was so good. I then had the roast cod on curried lentils & a celeriac purée...and was not disappointed with my choice. Perfectly cooked fish with well thought through accompaniments...mouth-wateringly good. Sue had the Lamb Ragu, which she loved too...although perhaps it had a touch too much mint in it? Still delicious. We don’t normally do desserts, but they had donuts on the menu so I had to try that too...and again they absolutely nailed it. This is my new favourite restaurant in Bath and we’ll be back again soon.
