Ambience
Pros:
"This is such a lovely and relatively hidden gem (given its central location)!"
"Cozy vibes inside."
"The ambience was really cozy."
"Lovely pub on a little cobbled square with a lovely little courtyard garden."
"The atmosphere is warm, inviting and so cosy you don't want to leave."
"Very nice pub. It didn't look like much from the outside but the interior is spacious and cosy, and there's a lovely beer garden at the back."
"The Pub was warm, clean and had a friendly relaxed atmosphere."
Cons:
"The Crystal Palace is not a pub, but a soulless characterless gastropub catering to the nondiscerning tourist hords."
"Very disappointing for such a lovely pub."
"Its nice inside the pub, but on first impression it seemed style over substance."
"Unfortunately this was one of the worst Fullers pubs I’ve been into."
"A little disappointed with this place, looked lovely and had high expectations here but felt a little abandoned by the staff."
"Something is a bit off with management."
"Just the worst."
Service
Pros:
"Good range of beers, 2 bars for busy days and friendly staff make this a pub worth trying."
"Wonderful, friendly service."
"The staff are amazing. Definitely worth visiting this place!"
"Staff were very friendly, excellent customer service, beer and cocktails were very good."
"The member of staff who served us, was so friendly helpful."
"Service was quick and food was excellent."
"Staff are all really lovely and welcoming."
Cons:
"I would like to advise since I think the staff on that day were like young people or teenagers and could not even smile or greet you or tell you “give me one sec” it’ll make a difference to the customers."
"One member of bar staff said are u eating, i said no, she said this is the restaurant if you go around the other side they will serve you. I think that was very rude."
"Extremely poor service and rather uncaring and unhelpful staff."
"Unhelpful, lack of understanding and verging on being obnoxious."
"Unfortunately the service was also very distant, called the waitress 3 times, not even a look."
"Bar man spilled our beer over on the table, and made no effort to mop it up."
"O/10 for the staff being clueless. No instructions to leave the pub and by what exit, no mention of a assembly point outside, so everyone was just outside the pub doors and leaning against the walls."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"House red was tasty and the lamb roast was very good."
"Good food and lovely beer."
"Very good food, with friendly staff."
"The turkey and cranberry sandwich was very generous."
"The smoked salmon and King prawn linguine was tasty."
"Had the best Sunday roast, was delicious 😋 and well worth the cost."
"The pie and chips were top class."
Cons:
"Unfortunately the food was really below average, despite being quite pricey."
"Let down by the food."
"I ordered the corn soup and found it to be bland and almost tasteless."
"An inedible fish and chips...with fish so overcooked it was almost black."
"The starters were equally as poor. Overpriced and very poor quality."
"The food previously had been lovely, however a second time was rather poor."
"The “Sunday roasts” we ordered only consisted of three very thin slithers of meat, half a parsnip, one roast potato (cut in half), one piece of kale, one tablespoon of cauliflower cheese, a trendy smearing of butternut squash and one still frozen at the bottom Yorkshire pudding."
Value
Pros:
"The food prices are about right with a good menu."
"Drink and a sandwich deals are good value at under £15."
"The food was great reasonably priced."
"Food was good and reasonably priced."
"Both dishes were great - generous helpings and high quality ingredients."
"Nice friendly staff great service and excellent food."
"The food that was available was delicious."
Cons:
"This place will not survive with their current price structure for drinks."
"For the price you pay you'd expect something at least semi-decent instead you'll leave dissatisfied and with a gaping, painful hole in your wallet."
"And at over 6 pound a pint it is not a place I'd return in the near future."
"Certainly don’t charge 14£ for some completely random pink drink with bitters!"
"£11.25 for a pint of Guinness and a standard small bottle of Peroni. Absolutely ridiculous, complete con, and more expensive than central London!"
"It was not a great experience, 2 glasses of wine and 2 turkey sandwiches £42 😕 and the turkey was fatty."
"£14 for a beef burger which was tiny with a few chips...came with a bland sauce as well."
Location
Pros:
"A great pub located in the heart of Bath."
"Lovely courtyard garden and great location."
"Very central to Bath so handy for a quick visit with work colleagues or friends."
"Lovely, friendly pub and very close to the abbey and the baths."
"I would recommend a trip here, probably less than a minute walk from the Roman baths."
"Really nice pub with some great views near by."
"Top quality pub. Has a great beer garden, seating is comfortable, spacious and nice."
Cons:
"Just feel Bath has more to offer if you’re willing to explore more than 500yds from the station."
"Sadly seems that for a main + drink, for 2 ppl, nowadays pubs seem more expensive than a proper restaurant."
"Fuller's pub so not cheap."
"Beer at £5 a pint."
"The worst fish and chips I have ever had and the dearest at £14.50, the chips were inedible all four of us left them the fish again small and again we all left did complain but nothing said."
"Avoid if gluten free, your choices are limited to soup and a starter salad that tastes of pickled onion."
"Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not good value for money (expensive for what you get)."
