Harden's says
"A restaurant above a bakery." Such a simple description for a restaurant (that started as a series of supper clubs) from Jules Copperman, former GM at Big Jo, and Rob Sachdev, former sous chef at Brawn. Opened in September 2021 above the popular sourdough bakery.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“We come back again and again for the amazing cooking” at this “very high-quality” spot from a “young and enthusiastic team”, upstairs from a hip modern bakery and flour mill. There’s “always a spot-on seasonaI menu” (“I Iove the fresh pasta which changes each week”) and an “interesting list of mainly natural wines”, while “the space is a little spartan, with minimalist decor”. Top Menu Tip – “the cheese fritters are wonderful”.
Summary
“A favourite in Bath” – this “intimate and relaxed small space” upstairs from the popular Landrace bakery “produces beautiful, well-cooked plates of local, in season, produce”. “The couple that run it” (ex-Quality Chop House and Brawn chef Rob Sachdev and ex-Big Jo manager Jude Copperman, who re-thought their London lives during lockdown) “are passionate about their business, and the menu changes weekly with typically small-plate starters of salads, cold cuts and amazing cheese fritters. Mains usually consist of a meat, fish or vegetarian option, typically a pasta dish which is silky and delicious”.
Summary
“Such a fabulous place! Relaxed but with great attention to detail” – within a year of opening above the popular Landrace bakery, ex-Quality Chophouse and Brawn chef Rob Sachdev’s “austere” Med-inspired spot was being tipped by its fanclub as “the best restaurant in Bath” (in particular, of a more hip and casual variety). The weekly changing menu has an “amazing range of small plates to start, including the lightest, most delicious cheese puffs”, while “mains are typically one meat, fish or veggie pasta option”. Top Tip – “I’m still dreaming of those parmesan fritters”.
Summary
If you want hip and artisanal, this summer 2021 opening above a popular bakery looks like the way to go (although it opened too late for survey feedback). It’s from a couple of refugees from The Smoke with good CVs (Jules Copperstone and Rob Sachdev) and the focus is on locally sourced Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
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).
