The Marlborough Tavern Bath

You'll find yourself on one of Bath's most characterful streets, where this converted Georgian townhouse feels less like a theme park version of a pub and more like the real deal. The Marlborough pulls the locals in for a reason—the kitchen takes its brief seriously, turning out the kind of food that makes you want to linger over another pint rather than rush off. It's got that lived-in feel that comes from actually being part of the neighbourhood rather than trying too hard, with a solid drinks list and enough charm in the bones of the building to remind you why Bath's architecture matters.
