The Weston

Ok, I’m staying in Bath for three months and one of the guys I’m traveling with told us about Robert Burns night here. This is my very first English pub and I loved this place. It’s a larger pub than I would have expected and they serve wonderful food. I got chicken breast stuffed with stilton wrapped in some form of bacon-​like meat with roasted potatoes… mmmmmm
And I had my very first beer at my very first pub. The gentleman at the bar was kind enough to give me a rather large sample of it before I ordered and I got the Caledonian IPA. Loved the atmosphere, the staff was friendly, and everything was tasty. I’m for it.

Visited here last night for our work Christmas party, I must say it was a pleasant change from the usual Xmas party with very samey food followed by an awful disco.
At £22 for 3 courses it’s pretty good value, we all preordered and prepaid for our meals. I had the parfait (pâté) to start which came with thin crispy crackers and a sweet chutney, it was nice but there weren’t enough crackers for the amount of parfait, having said that my plate was cleared.
Main course– There was a hot service trolley so when we were called we went up and told the man what we had ordered, he ticked it off the list and the waitress then served the meat/​fish/​veggie option and you help your self to the trimmings including pigs in blankets, stuffing balls and veg.
I had the beef bourguignon, which came with onion rings, the dish was nice it had a really tasty sauce but the meet was a little tough, the onion rings were cracking though!
I had the cheese board for dessert, it was ok, came with 3 cheeses and a few crackers with onion chutney and celery.
My friend chose the Christmas Eton mess and we were all surprised with the tiny portion, it was really nice but you expect more.
There was one rather big error, one of my colleagues is vegan, his nut roast disappeared. Despite preordering and ticking off at the service trolley they managed to lose his nut roast. He waited and waited and at one point I believe it was suggested by staff that someone else must have had it by mistake (I think we’d notice if we had two mains, especially if one was nut roast and the waitress was serving the main dish) Any how after a rather lengthy wait he opted for a plate of veg instead, I’m not sure if he eventually got the nut roast, Not the end of the world but not such great value.
On the whole the staff were friendly, theres parking out back and the pub itself is nicely decorated. But due to the very average food and the nut roast saga it’s only a 3 from me!
