About Bathampton Mill Bath
Bathampton Mill is a riverside gastropub that trades on its exceptional setting as much as its kitchen. Perched beside the Avon with a jetty for water access, it's become a destination for both casual drinkers seeking a waterside break and diners expecting genuine care in execution. Recent guests consistently praise the food—one called it "divine" and noted it "exceeded expectations"—while staff attentiveness emerges as a defining trait; when an elderly diner fell ill, the team's kindness left a lasting impression. The location itself is the draw: dog-friendly outdoor seating, river views, and a sense of escape within Bath proper make it feel more retreat than pub. At 4.2 stars across 2,841 reviews, it sits mid-table in Walcot, but the consistency of praise for atmosphere, service warmth, and culinary ambition suggests a venue that knows its strengths and leans into them deliberately.
