Dating back to the 1800s, The Gainsborough Bath Spa encompasses two Grade II Listed buildings featuring distinguished Georgian and Victorian facades, nestled in the heart of the World Heritage Site. Indulge in a delightful dining experience at The Gainsborough, where contemporary British cuisine takes centre stage. The modern Brasserie offers a stylish and relaxed setting, showcasing the finest produce sourced from local farmers and artisan producers. If you prefer a more traditional experience, join the team for daily afternoon tea in the beautiful canvas room. As daytime moves into evening, the Gainsborough Bar comes alive, serving expertly crafted cocktails and a selection of beverages. The Brasserie, which is adorned with Georgian architecture, original artwork, and an impressive wine wall, welcomes both hotel guests and non residents to enjoy the flavours of fresh, seasonal ingredients in an inviting atmosphere.
Start your meal with a delicious starter, whether the pumpkin and ginger soup with a coconut and pumpkin seed sambal, or St Austell Bay mussels with a shallot, garlic and white wine sauce. Mains include the creedy carver duck breast with redcurrant jus, pomme puree and baby leeks, the 8oz Himalayan salt aged fillet steak with Dorset watercress, Koffmann fries, bearnaise or peppercorn sauce, and the mushroom Wellington with wild mushroom sauce and roast baby carrots.
The desserts are as delicious as the mains, and include a rich chocolate mousse with a sticky salted caramel and hazelnuts topping, the prune and armagnac creme brulee with buttery and crumbly shortbread, a selection of sorbets, and local cheeses with house chutney and crackers. If you find yourself in the Bath area and want to treat yourself to somewhere special for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even just a drink, then pay a visit to The Gainsborough Brasserie.
