What is it?
A fish restaurant opened in 2015 by Garry Rosser, a chef who returned to Bath, where he had started out. It serves classic fish and chips, with battered cod or haddock and chips peeled and cut every day, and a grill with whatever arrives from the coastal markets. It occupies two floors, with an upper deck that is half open-air.
When to go
It opens at lunchtime Monday to Sunday and for dinner Monday to Saturday; on Sunday, only from 12:00 to 15:00. On weekdays, from 16:30 to 17:45, there is the Fisherman's Tea: a dish of the day with chips, homemade sauces and a cup of tea for £15. Book online for dinner and for weekends.
How to get there
It is on Monmouth Place, ten minutes' walk from the abbey and five from the Royal Crescent and The Circus: it fits in after the visit to No. 1. From the station, a walk of about 15 minutes.
What to order: battered cod or haddock with hand-cut chips, or the grilled fish of the day; on weekdays at 16:30, the Fisherman's Tea.
