About Emberwood
Emberwood, tucked into Bath's Crescent, has earned a devoted following for its roast dinners and premium steaks—consistently described as the best diners have encountered. The open charcoal grill visible from the dining room sets the tone for an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere, where airy design, perfect lighting, and beautiful décor create an immediate sense of occasion. Staff go beyond service: personalized birthday cards signed by the team, accommodation of dietary needs (including coeliac expertise), and genuine warmth from named staff members like Saffi, Gabbi, Imani, and Keegan behind the bar define the experience. The cocktail trolley adds theatre, while the wine list and coffee programme round out a venue that feels equally at home for a weekday solo lunch or a milestone celebration. Sunday roasts draw repeat visitors who praise the pink, tender sirloin, melting pork, generous portions, and fresh Yorkshire puddings.
Emberwood earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wines and cocktails — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.

What Customers Say
From the moment we walked in, we felt really good about being there. The place smells clean, the space is airy, the lighting is perfect, and the décor and interior design are simply beautiful. On top of that, the staff were incredibly warm and helpful, which made us feel like we had absolutely made the right choice coming here.
We love Emberwood, it's so good we keep going back for Sunday roast, which is by far the best in Bath - sirloin is pink and tender, pork is delicious, literally melts in your mouth, and portions are generous too including lots of vegetables and fresh and tasty Yorkshire pudding.
What a gem of an great dining place in Bath. The food is out of this world and the service is impeccable. I wish we lived here so we could visit Emberwood more often.
