Restaurants in Larkhall

Larkhall Avenue, Bath BA1 6SF

Loaves from £5. Pastries from £2.50. Coffee from £3.20.

Opens at 7:30am. The sourdough is baked overnight and hits the rack before eight — on Saturdays it is largely gone by nine. Pastries, good coffee, and a counter that serves sandwiches from mid-morning. No table service; you collect and find a seat. The queue forms before opening on weekends and moves efficiently.

1 Halfway, Larkhall, Bath BA1 6RY

Pints from £4.50. Bar snacks available.

A proper Larkhall local rather than a dining pub. Food runs to bar snacks and the occasional pie special — the point is the beer and the room, not the kitchen. Live acoustic nights on Thursdays, quiz on Wednesdays. Worth noting for an evening drink rather than a full meal. No reservations, which is accurate to what it is.

Walcot Street, Bath BA1 5BW (10 min walk south)

Varies by venue. Most cafés: £8–15 for lunch.

Larkhall's own restaurant scene is thin. Walcot Street, ten minutes south on foot, is where the independent food offer concentrates: a handful of cafés, the Walcot Street Deli, and a rotating selection of small restaurants in the arches and converted spaces below the road. Worth the walk rather than driving into the centre.

23 The Vineyards, Bath BA1 5NA

Pints from £4. No food (bar snacks only).

Fifteen minutes on foot from Larkhall, down into the Vineyards area. A Bath institution: Bass ale served from the jug, four small rooms, no music. Opened in 1760 and has not significantly changed. The bath Oliver biscuits and cheese on the bar are the extent of the food offer. Worth knowing if you want the opposite of a gastro pub.
