Bath - Hotel and Food Recommendation

[Dan_1981]

Looking at a couple of nights in Bath in a few weeks time.

Accommodation-wise thinking of Dukes?

Looks good and has positive reviews.

Food-wise - was thinking Sotto Sotto or if we can get a table Menu Gordon Jones?

Anyone eaten at either?

Other suggestions?

Thinking about visiting the spa type place but at minimum 40 quid per person - is it worth it? The twilight sessions look good.

Ooops wrong forum.

I'm off there in July. Couldn't get into Gordon Jones, so booked Sotto Sotto. Looked a good second bet. I'd call Jones ASAP for a booking, they do have a waitlist.

For food The Pig have just opened a restaurant in Bath. Not been to that specific one but the one in the New Forest is top notch. Do accommodation too

Just to add - it's just outside Bath

My wife and I ate at Gordon Jones a week ago. If you can get a table I can't recommend it highly enough. My wife rated it more than L'enclume.

In terms of hotel; if you are eating at GJ then the Bear hotel is 15m away. Whilst it's not the lap of luxury the room was very nice and the breakfast was even better.

I'm not sure whether it's your cup of tea, so to speak, but a group of eighty of us recently ate at Jimmy's World Grill & Bar in Bath. It's literally across the road from the train station, Bath Spa.

The food was sensational, it's an open plan all-you-can-eat buffet type arrangement. It's based on chicken and rice meals but there are other options available.

Both are great as others have said.
Personally I preferred Menu Gordon Jones as it felt more special and out of the ordinary. It is out of the town centre though so you might want to consider a taxi.

Booked Dukes for the accommodation.

Just deciding on food now!

I would not call it sensational .... an all you can eat place dosent do sensational food. I've been once and it was generic, much like zazabazzar

Bath is my home town and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

If you can get into Gordon Jones then you will certainly want a taxi from Dukes - Great Pultney St to Wellsway is a good 20min walk. Soto Soto is a five min walk.

If you like cocktails then be sure to visit Sub13 on George St
