Take a bite out of Bath: discover the delights of ‘Wild British’ dining with No.15 Great Pulteney by Guesthouse
This summer, No.15 Great Pulteney by GuestHouse invites guests and locals to embark upon a great British culinary escape. With a not-to-be-missed line-up of cleverly conjured dishes, drinks and days out, the dining experiences are created to feel comfortingly familiar and surprisingly original all at once.
Guests are introduced to unfussy dishes which showcase the best of seasonal British produce and drinks which look beyond the usual suspects. From early morning to late night, there are dining options to suit every mood and menus are designed to reflect the seasons. Not bound by meal periods, dining rooms or hotel tradition, guests are served the great flavours of Britain when and where they want them.
"Our food and beverage offering is certainly something new to the streets of Bath. If you're feeling peckish mid-morning then do pop by to savour one of the delights on our new Elevenses menu with a delicious glass of bubbles. From our classic dishes served with wonderment and a twist throughout the day, our hand-crafted cocktails that are carefully concocted each with their own story, or our delectable afternoon tea experience that can be relished and savoured as a picnic in the park. We can't wait to spoil you at No.15.” – Diego Masciaga, F&B and Service Ambassador for GuestHouse
Great Mornings
At GuestHouse hotels the fun begins at breakfast and No.15 is no exception to the rule: an odyssey of flavours await. Picture warm toasted crumpets with homemade marmite butter served with a pot of freshly brewed tea (or a spiced Bloody Mary), delivered to guests’ bedroom doors, if requested – along with the daily papers. Here, staying in bed all day isn’t frowned upon. Great mornings with GuestHouse are all about having the freedom to decide the direction the day takes. So, whether it’s a quick bite before diving into the day, pulling up a pew at No.15’s legendary long-weekend breakfast or an elevenses treat to tide them over ‘til lunch, there’s sure to be something for every kind of morning.
Great Days
Bath is a pretty city with many serene, green spaces that are ripe-for-exploration so alfresco treats-to-go are never far from the agenda. All day, No.15’s chefs produce quick bites, proper lunches and ready-to-go picnics sure to sustain even the hungriest of holidaymakers. Not forgetting belly-filling fun-fuel in the form of hummus, crudites & bread sticks, or fish finger sandwiches with cucumber salad for any younger diners.
Come late afternoon, the No.15 afternoon tea is served. This GuestHouse take on a classic British institution is a loving tribute to local produce, the season, and the joy of indulging in something a little sweeter: think lemon and raspberry Battenberg and chocolate and orange tea cake. With outdoor dining in hot demand this great British summer, GuestHouse can pack up one of their signature hampers with British goodies and lend guests a blanket so that they can live like a Bath local by feasting in the sunshine.
Great Nights
Reflecting the owners’ love of great British dining, No.15’s relaxed restaurant showcases Chef Matt Gillard’s delicious ‘Wild British’ cuisine. Chef’s refined comfort food champions the best local produce, meat and fish; stand-out dishes include Somerset mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes and hand-foraged wild garlic and dry-aged Somerset fillet steak with watercress, fresh horseradish, pancetta and baby onions. Sweet-tooths can’t fail to fall for the egg custard tart, poached rhubarb and GuestHouse’s nutmeg ice cream. Before or after dinner, guests and locals alike can convene in No.15’s sociable bar for afternoon liveners, crafted cocktails and cosy fireside night-caps. Need a tip for your tipple? Try the Somerset Old Fashioned or English Rose Fizz.
