The Marlborough Tavern

35 Marlborough Buildings, BATH, BA1 2LY

This admirable pub just around the corner from the famous Royal Crescent has been providing food and drink since the 18th century, when it was a favoured pull-up for foot-weary sedan chair carriers. Today's clientele are more likely to be exhausted from a morning or afternoon spent traipsing round Bath's shops and boutiques, now eager for refreshment in the contemporary, retro and classic-style bars or courtyard garden. Butcombe, Timothy Taylor and Totty Pot dark porter occupy the hand-pumps, and the number of wines sold by the glass now exceeds twenty. The classy menu delivers gutsy, full-flavoured dishes prepared from local seasonal and organic produce, among which a typical starter is potted game with red onion compôte and toast; to follow, whole South Coast plaice with caper brown butter, fried pink fir potatoes and wilted cavolo nero; or pork, tomato, chorizo and bean casserole. For vegetarians, chestnut, mushroom and pearl barley risotto, perhaps.
