Jamie's Italian in Bath

[RB Will]

Has anyone been to Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Bath? My Mrs is due to go there for a meal with some friends and does not know what to wear. Is it a posh place or is smart/casual the norm?
Is the food good?

Thanks

Haven't been in, but I've heard the theme is 'gourmet food for the masses', so I doubt you have to dress up.

Expect to queue as well as you can't book

Not sure google it.

On another note, are these places any good?

I kid you not, there has been a queue to get into the one in Kingston since it opened! I cannot believe it, they do not do advance bookings, and I am not going to stand in the rain waiting for something that could be st..

As long as she doesn't use the word 'Pukka'.... if she does then chin her..

Friends of mine have been, I haven't yet. Not smart, food was good (but not great according to some), lack of ability to book a table (unless you're in a big group) can lead to long queues before being seated. The general consensus was that there are better places to eat in Bath and Jamie's is a bit overhyped.

They are fully booked for parties of 8 plus up until July.

Its ok I assume it's booked as she is going as part of a friend's hen doo, strange location I know.
Smart casual rather than a dress or similar then?

If its anything like the one in Kingston (which I am sure it is) then dress really is not an issue. To give you an idea of the image it has, its similar to GBK, or Pizza Express, its a far cry from one of Ramseys uber exclusive joints.

i'm only 15 mins from Bath and did not know he had a place there

[okgo]

He doesn't its just a chain that are using his name ( that he has visited once at opening )

[RB Will]

I see. Thanks for the info.

I went in with my wife for a quick/light lunch the other day expecting to be disappointed. I am pleased to say that it was really good. We each had starter sized dishes of pasta; mine a spicy sausage meat and my wife's a seafood pasta. They were really tasty and the glasses of house red and white were not bad either.

It certainly made me want to go back there for a full meal sometime.
