The Chequers in Bath – Bib Gourmand British Pub & Sunday Roast

The Chequers, Bath

On Rivers Street, in the handsome Georgian city of Bath, The Chequers has long been a gathering place for the community around the Royal Crescent and the Circus. The welcome is straightforward: a friendly bar stool for a solo drink, or a cosy corner for lunch or dinner with friends.

The kitchen turns out classic British cooking. The menu changes regularly, with dishes such as pan-seared fillet of hake and heritage tomato with torched mozzarella appearing on recent dinners. The Sunday roast is a particular draw, with beef, roast vegetables and all the trimmings. Sticky toffee pudding often rounds things off.

The bar pours traditional ales, keeps a vibrant wine list, and shakes chic cocktails. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the pub welcomes dogs.

The Chequers holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award given for good quality, good value cooking. That recognition fits a place that aims to be both a local’s local and a destination for a proper meal in Bath.
