The West Gate - A Feast for the Ages
Just steps away from the city’s namesake Roman Baths, you’ll find the West Gate - a pub that’s been pouring pints and welcoming weary travellers since 1611. With its historic roots as one of Bath’s original coaching inns, the West Gate offers a quality blend of modern comforts and centuries-old charm - and yes, the resident ghost is still part of it!
When the weekend rolls around, the West Gate really shines with its Sunday roast menu. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfectly cooked beef sirloin, roasted half chicken with delicious sage and onion stuffing, or a sumptuous nut roast wellington, this pub has you and your crew covered. Plus, each dish comes with all the trimmings - we’re talking crispy roasties, fluffy Yorkshire puds seasoned greens, roasted carrots, and creamy cauliflower cheese, all smothered in rich gravy. What’s not to love?
Family-friendly and pooch-friendly, with a fantastic beer garden and sports on the big screens, the West Gate is a top spot to top off your weekend in Bath.
Saracens Head - Savour those Sunday Flavours in Bath’s Oldest Pub
Only yards from the beautiful Pulteney Bridge, with its incredible views of the city, stands Saracens Head - officially Bath’s oldest public house, with a story in every corner. Famous not just for its age, this pub has strong literary ties too, having hosted Charles Dickens as he wrote ‘The Pickwick Papers’. These days, the pub is a must-visit for wordsmiths, as well as lovers of good ales and hearty plates.
Sundays here mean a feast, with both meaty and veggie options and all the classic trimmings that make the roast dinner a British institution. As for the pub itself, this is a spot that’s much loved by locals, students. It can get busy on weekends, so remember to book ahead for that perfect end to the weekend - especially if you’re bringing the kids or your four-legged friend along.
The Bear Inn
Venture ten minutes outside of the city centre towards Bear Flat and you’ll stumble across the Bear Inn. With a lineage tracing back to the 1770s, this spot isn't just known for Snowy, the life-sized polar bear guarding its entrance - it's a beloved landmark in its own right. Rebuilt in 1956 after the original fell victim to the Blitz, the Bear today balances contemporary style with the homely, welcoming atmosphere of a traditional pub.
Sundays at the Bear are a feast for the senses. Whether you fancy roast chicken complete with all the trimmings, succulent roast beef with a kick of horseradish cream, flavourful porchetta accompanied by cider apple sauce, or a delightful vegan Wellington, there's a plate with your name on it. Each dish is served with a generous helping of roast potatoes, mixed kale, maple-roasted carrots, mulled red cabbage, and, for the non-vegan options, a Yorkshire pudding—all drenched in delicious gravy.
Fancy a chilled Sunday lunch in our beer garden or inside among family and friends? Be sure to book a table to make sure you’ve got a spot ready and waiting to kick back, tuck into a great meal, and soak up the city from one of its best spots.
