Green Park Station, Bath, BA1 1JB
Harden's survey result
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”.
Summary
“Good value, reasonable food at a reasonable price in a decent setting with good staff” – the straightforward and upbeat formula that earns a listing for this ‘casual dining steakhouse and jazz bar’, which occupies a converted Victorian station.

Green Park Brasserie Restaurant Diner Reviews
"We come here often for a casual pizza with friends as you don't have to book and we just grab an outside table under cover of the old station roof and with heaters too for this dreadfull summer. Pizzas are from the wood oven and jolly good too. Nice atmosphere with live jazz if you're inside on many nights."
