Green Park Station, Bath, BA1 1JB
Harden's survey result
Summary
Occupying the former booking hall of a converted Victorian railway station – and with a large seating area outside – this large local landmark is of the same vintage as Harden’s Ltd (it was founded in 1992) and wins popularity with its flexible, all-week, all-day offering. It’s not hugely foodie, generating too few reviews for a rating this year – but tipped by regulars as a useful standby in the city: “We come here often for a casual pizza with friends as you don’t have to book – just grab an outside table under cover of the old station roof with heaters. Pizzas are from the wood oven and jolly good too. Nice atmosphere with live jazz if you’re inside on many nights”.
Summary
“A good, no-nonsense place to eat, with outside heaters” – this local landmark is housed in an old 1870s station on the fringe of the city centre (next to the old Ironbridge railway line) and is celebrating over 30 years in business. Billing itself as a steakhouse and jazz bar – and they also do a good line in pizza – it doesn’t aim for foodie fireworks, but is well-rated across the board.
Summary
A converted old railway station provides a “pretty setting amongst the trees, next to the (currently) abandoned Ironbridge railway line” at this ‘casual dining steakhouse and jazz bar’. On limited feedback, it remains well-rated all-round for its “basic-but-honest menu, with local ingredients from local suppliers and beer supplied by a local microbrewery”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
