Pub in Bath

“One of the most traditional pubs in Bath, with a pleasant atmosphere and very peculiar barrel-shaped doors”

“A really lovely chain option in the heart of Bath. Cosy Club does it's usual formula of providing an off-street Cafe with relaxing vibes and consistent good quality, with the added bonus of a lovely balcony area overlooking the busy square. The food was good, well presented, reasonably priced, and with great options for kids. Coffees were good too, nothing special but reasonably well made. Highchairs were available, and service was incredibly friendly.”

“Beautiful meal with wonderful service. The mixed drinks were done well. The desserts were well prepared and yummy, especially the almond and fig tart. The aubergine appetizer was wonderful too.”

“Food was delicious. Staff and service were great. Really friendly. Could have done with a little bit more i enjoyed it so much - 1 floret of cauliflower cheese was too tight!”

“Small bar, but hugely welcoming. Was the perfect place to catch a couple of pints as I waited for my tour bus. Centrally located in the heart of Bath.”

“Excellent service, great food and good portion sizes. Sat out in the back garden in the sunshine, very pleasant.”

“Visiting Bath and very glad we came across this pub, first on Saturday and the place was buzzing (in part to a private function). Great selection of beers, food was lovely (fish & chips, carbonara). Came back again on the Sunday for the football, was quiet but great to watch the game. Favourite in Bath, will be back!”

“I held my retirement Party here on 22nd August.It was held outside in the marque. The buffet was excellent, with a good variety. The staff were really helpful, & brought out the food & drinks when we were ready. They kept the bottles of prosecco nice & cold. Thank you to the team.Regards Jacky.”

“Great pub, beer well kept, reasonable price given the location, darts, great live music on a Saturday night.”

“Stayed here a couple of times now. Fantastic service from the moment you arrive. Lovely rooms, great pub downstairs with entertainment, good food/drink selection and loads of board games you can take up to your room. Only a 15 min walk into the centre or a 5min taxi ride. Staff were fantastic. Will 100% stay again if we are back in the area.”

“Proper village pub in a lovely setting, with cosy rooms over the bar. Stayed here for a night whilst doing some walks of the surrounding area, enjoyed a couple of beers in a very friendly atmosphere, had a good (and quiet) night's sleep, followed by a hearty breakfast before setting off home. Would recommend to anyone planning on doing any walking in the area and looking for a place with character to bed down for a night or two.”

“My 1st visit to this pub on Saturday 4th of October.went to see live band & had a great evening.Band were great.locals very friendly & the 2 staff members were very efficient & really nice/helpful.Cheers.”

“A 2 part bar with a pool lounge one side and a proper high stool bar in the other. They have 2 great tables at a pound each for pool, open mic nights on Tuesdays and a dart board that's free to use! Nice selection of drinks and a great comedy club in the basement. One of my go-tos for a night out in Bath every time.”

“Lovely atmosphere, nice interior. Very friendly staff. Amazing delicious food, brought very fast. That was a great experience, hope we'll come back one day! Thank you!”

“Lovely little club. Attend a few nights a year for away games of skittles. Bar staff are always very friendly and accommodating.”

“Lovely little hotel bar. We came back just as James the barman was shutting up but he served us with a smile and made us feel very welcome!”

“Went down a couple of times, lovely pub with a great potential Will and Chanelle are very welcoming . It will be an amazing pub when it’s done up . New owners have taken over can’t wait to see what it will be like after revamp . Will be back soon .”

“Small but perfectly placed for kick-off. Barman knows how to make a bitter shandy.”

“This is a review of the events space (marquee). We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary in the marquee at the Swan in Swineford, September 2024. It was a great event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We had 53 guests for a three course sit down meal with welcome drinks prior to the meal, after which the tables were cleared for dancing and a DJ. We were able to discuss and tailor our menu to suit our guests and we received many compliments on the food, which was very tasty. Our family had early access to decorate the marquee with lights, table decorations and flowers which made the marquee look beautiful and created a lovely atmosphere. We were able to return the next morning to do the take-down, there was no pressure. The only strict requirements were that music had to stop by 11:00 pm (due to neighbours) and aim to have all people off site by 11:30 pm. Lee, the manager, was very approachable. He was happy to discuss our needs and was very flexible with the layout and the menu choice. We were allowed to provide our own drinks and pay corkage as well as making use of the outside pay-bar. Staff were very friendly and seemed invested in the success of the party which made it seem like a joint effort. The marquee itself is 9 meters square and has a good-sized graveled area to the side with benches which are for sole use of the function space. The marquee is set in a large garden with outside bar, children’s play area and a carpark. We would certainly recommend the swan for family and social functions. Big thanks to Lee and the whole team.”

“VERY cool experience! The dining location itself is worth the visit! We sat at a table overlooking the river and it was beautiful!! Staff were amazing, food was great, we will most definitely go back again! We both ordered chicken curry (different kinds) and they were both amazing! Worth going to!”

“Good food worth the value. fast friendly staff. Quick service too.”

“Out Saturday day drinking for a hen do. Was there from 6pm till 9pm. We sat outside on a sofa, with the DJ playing under the gazebo. Great music, Great atmosphere, the place was buzzing. Staff are friendly, served drinks to your table, cleared up quickly to remove those empty glasses. Had a great time drinking, chilling to the music and chatting.”

“After scouring Bath for live music for NYE and failing miserably we ended up at the Devonshire Arms. A bit of a locals pub but we were accepted and greater whole heartedly. Live music was good fun although they certainly won't be going pro anytime soon! Good beer and a bit of a spread put on for NYE. Landlord made us feel very welcome and even apologised for charging us entry! Made some new friends and had a throughly enjoyable time. Would recommend!”

“Great food at great prices. The staff are very nice and hardworking, the tables are spaced out and the place is well looked after. The brownie from the kinds menu is a decent size and only £1.99! Just right if you don’t have a lot of room after the main course but still fancy something sweet.”

“We have always wanted to try this pub, as we have lived in Bath for over a year now. We came in Saturday and asked about their Sunday roast, and how the cauliflower cheese was done. Daniel said “I’ll show you” he then went into the kitchen and made his home made Yorkshire pudding and a pot of cauliflower cheese, as a taster. This was amazing, so we came back for the roast on Sunday and wasn’t disappointed the size of the plate and food was fantastic. They also put the Women’s Rugby on for us, which was a bonus. Lovely place, with friendly staff and will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience.”

“Very lovely service from Sam, made great recommendations for drink choices when we were unsure. Told us about the new pool table that we went and tried out and had lots of fun on! Definitely will be coming back”

“My wife and I had a very good time at the Lamb and Lion this weekend and the staff were so caring and very accomadating to our needs whilst in a booth. we were watching football and darts during the course of Saturday and they were happy to change channels at our request. The food was very good and choice of drinks were great but the staff were amazing. thank you all and see you soon. Terry and Kerry”

“Canon Bottomless Brunch – Fantastic Experience! We had such a great time at Canon’s bottomless brunch! The atmosphere was vibrant, the drinks kept flowing, and the food was delicious. A special shout-out to Sam, who gave us outstanding service from start to finish — friendly, attentive, and always making sure our glasses were full. He really made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, relaxed brunch with excellent service!”

“I adore the karaoke here every Sunday. The host is amazing and you always get to do most of your songs :) shame I live so far away but it's worth the trip!”

“Well kept beer, entertaining locals, friendly atmosphere.”
