   I’m not really clear as to how they get their Michelin mentions. Whilst the food was good, and the service attentive, would not rate it as Michelin. A lot of things ruined the evening. We were told that we could only get at 6pm booking because they had a large party. At 7:30 only two other tables were filled. Menus were oil stained and grubby. At a table next to us someone sat drinking a pint, munching on crisps and working on his computer. Is this a coffee shop, pub or Michelin labelled restaurant? Advertising Michelin does a disservice to those that really try to achieve that recognition.

   We were a party of six and three had the belly pork which was delicious. One person had the butternut roast and loved that too. The other person had Dover sole and said that he was disappointed as he was still hungry but the quality was good. We all had desserts which were really lovely and overall we had a great time. The service was excellent.

   We had a great time and really enjoyed the meal. However next time I think we will ask to be seated downstairs.

   Great music, venison, monkfish & wine very good but the caper & lemon sauce for the monkfish was in excess. My crab starter was even less successful with heavy flavours of accompaniments dominanting the dish. Side dish of broccoli was completely ruined by a hot/chilli sauce. My partner enjoyed the marrow starter and the venison main.

   We had an amazing meal at the chequers. There was no fault at all. Every dish we had was amazing. The drinks were beautiful with a great selection. I will definitely be recommending to anyone coming to Bath.

    We went for a Sunday roast and it was one of the best I have had. The pork was delicious and all the accompaniments were well cooked and tasty too. We had to ask for extra gravy but this wasn’t a problem. The staff were great too.
