The Seven Stars, Bath

An attractive, stone built local pub in the heart of the village. At the back is a car park and a decent looking beer garden. It’s a fair sized pub, being split in to several different areas such as main bar, pool room and dining areas. The main bar is a cosy and attractive sort of place, with some exposed stone walls and rather Christmassy shades of red and green paint elsewhere. Green carpet is on the floor along with some grey slate tiles around the wood panelled bar and a few strings of fairy lights adorn the ceiling beams and window frames. The pool room at the front has more exposed stonework, and a plasma mounted above a large fire place. The rest of the pub looked to be more geared up for dining with all the tables laid up for food. My only criticism would perhaps be the lack of seating in the main bar – besides a few leather sofas and a number of stools, there were only two tables and chairs. The food offering was a straightforward selection of pub grub dishes at reasonable prices, with the menu being split in to sections such as salads, Panini’s, jacket potatoes and “Pie Minister” pies. This was however a dedicated lunch time menu, I don’t know what is available on an evening. In addition to this there was a “pizza and pint” deal advertised for £6.50, a small specials board and a selection of tapas dishes. There was also a summer barbeque planned for the bank holiday weekend. Barmaid was friendly and helpful. Beers on tap were Bass, Butcombe and Gem. Ciders were Thatcher’s Gold and Blackthorn.
