Cloisters - Menú

I had a wonderful dining experience at this unique restaurant. The staff were attentive, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. They had a great selection of wines too.

Lovely dinner in the atmospheric Cloisters restaurant at the Bailbrook House Hotel. Service was very good although one waitress seemed a bit hasty. Food was excellent, mood music was ok.

What an experience. I love this hotel and the restaurant was 5 star. Absolutely delicious, fine dining experience and personable at the same time. Can’t wait to come back. Just check out the photos! Thanks guys see you again. James Rosie

We had a wonderful Sunday meal at this restaurant. The servings were plentiful and of excellent quality. They offer 2 or 3 course options for a fixed price. The staff is efficient and friendly. There were only a few customers during our visit, but a large group was expected later.

Most of what we ate was very good: an excellent guinea fowl and lovely chocolate mouse for example. Our starters were also very good. The amuse bouche of pea ‘panda cotta’ was bland though and the cheese selection not the best. There is some decent wine with OK markups but a lack of care in serving (broken cork and no mention of vintages). Staff are pleasant if a little clueless at times (an exception was Elina who was outstanding)

This should be a lovely place to dress up and dine but sadly the food lets it down. This is the second time this year we have stayed at the hotel for a few nights each time. First time the food was ok, not amazing but ok. This time we were very under whelmed. The starter of goats cheese curd was nice and the pumpkin amuse bouche was lovely but my steak had a huge amount of fat. Marbling is good but this was off the scale. My wines by the glass I suspect had been left open for a while as they had that off taste. Luckily on our last visit we found a lovely restaurant within walking distance which we used again this time.

We visited Cloisters restaurant as part of our Mum’s 85th Birthday celebrations. At the time of booking staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs, agreeing to find us a quiet part of the restaurant and offering to present Mum with a “Happy Birthday” plate as part of our tasting menu. The restaurant is in the beautiful vaulted cloisters of the Bailbrook House Hotel, a gorgeous setting. Stacy, our host, was helpful and welcoming, ensuring that we felt thoroughly looked after all evening. Every one of the courses in the tasting menu was excellent. The menu gave exactly the right level of description for each dish, the gaps between courses were perfectly pitched and the service was imma...

The occasion was a family lunch event to celebrate a significant birthday. It was attended by around 30 people that everyone was looking forward to. Sadly, it was a very underwhelming experience food and drink wise. And the service was patchy at best. I wasn't expecting Michelin star but I did expect a napkin when being served hot and crumbly canapes. And didn't expect guests to have to serve themselves when the waiters seemed to give up on the canapes. I also expect serving staff to know which side to deliver a plate from (rather than just learning over people across a table). The meat which I think was beef was dry and stringy and not at all pleasant. The dessert was obviously bought in ra...

The booking for the Sunday evening meal for 2 was made via e-mail conversations, direct with the hotel, and proved to be quick, easy and efficient. It is suggested that no matter when you are going that a reservation is made in advance to ensure you get a table. The restaurant is situated within Bailbrook House Hotel on the outskirts of Bath and has free parking for those who are driving. The restaurant is situated in the basement of the House and is where the heritage of the historic mansion really comes into its own. It has a cosy ambience with original vaulted archways made from traditional Bath stone adding to the intimate feel, plus plenty of tables overlooking a secluded woodland scene...
