Coeur de Lion, Bath

I was told that this is a contender for the title of Bath’s smallest pub. I guess it could qualify as it consists of a small room with just a handful of banquettes, settles and small stools and standard issue tables. It’s carpeted, and has old looking wood panelling on the walls, and some brickwork. The leaded light windows on to the narrow passageway in which it’s located is a very attractive feature and completes the traditional appearance. There’s a bit of outside seating at the front. There were a couple of Abbey Ales beers on – Chorister (£3.60 a pint) and Bellringer, plus another ale that I failed to note. There was a pretty full menu available on Tuesday afternoon with such pub grub favourites as Pie & Mash (£8.95), Fish & chips (£8.95), and Chiili & Rice (£7.95) available. This is another decent pub that’s worth including on a cawl of Bath.

Small cosy bar with lots of red velvet, good beer
