The Marlborough Tavern

Inspector comments
"Discover a mix of pub classics and à la carte."
Overview
Just around the corner from the famous Royal Crescent, this honey-hued, Bath-stone corner pub majors on ‘great British food’ with a mix of straightforward pub staples alongside more involved dishes. A robust wine list offers plenty of good drinking by the glass or bottle, although local real ales and West Country ciders are another option. At the rear is a walled and trellised courtyard terrace, a secluded little spot that’s ideal for whiling away a warm summer’s evening.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer
