Fantastic and fantastically creative food from a chef who seems to be doing exactly what he wants. The food is clever without being bizarre, cheeky reinterpretations of classics (if you're lucky you'll get the 'English breakfast' course with foraged gull's egg soft-cooked in another bird's shell and you'll see what I mean). Attentive and correct service, excellent and imaginative wine... More

I too have eaten in many Michelin star establishments like many other reviewers and I have to concur! This is by far the best meal I have ever had! Went for dinner a week ago and loved all the 6 courses that included the most innovative palate cleanser and the most amazing fish dish (wild sea bass, baby fennel, green... More

I was very excited to have a table booked at Menu Gordon Jones, but unfortunately we left 3 and a half hours later, full, but very empty in the wallet. Let me begin by saying me and my boyfriend enjoy good food, we are happy to pay £££ for good quality food, but unfortunately all of the ingredients used at... More

A birthday treat from my other half - we had a terrific taster meal at Menu Gordon Jones. The food really is something special - beautifully sourced, prepared and presented.The service is excellent; attentive but not intrusive. Only quibble was the music which was rather radio 2 and loud. Definitely worth a visit.

I believe this restaurant is generating a lot of interest because it is different & by creating a ridiculously long wait for a weekend table over inflating itself. The venue whilst in Bath is in a run down area & if I am paying ths price I would expect to look out on something better than a Co-op mini market... More

Want to know a secret? It's a wonder that this Chef has not yet been awarded a star! From the sourcing of local produce to the precision of plating the dish. The attention to detail here is fantastic. The occasion was my wife's Birthday and an opportunity to wear my Kilt!, We have tried several times before to obtain a... More

I was traveling with a friend and we decided to stay in Bath for an extra night. On a whim, we called up Menu Gordon Jones to see if there was any chance we could get a table for the following evening (knowing full-well that reservations are booked 6-8 weeks in advance) and lucky for us, a party of 6...

Came here for lunch on Saturday after booking 2 months in advance. Having read all the great reviews on here about MGJ, we couldnt wait to get here and sample the food. As you do not know what you will be eating (as there is no menu), this is not a place for a fussy eater! The staff were good/attentive... More

Having waited 2 months since booking and visiting for lunch recently, I was slightly disappointed by the experience. This could have been my fault as I had built up a different image and taste sensation from the reviews, I had read and followed, and my expectations were running at an all time high. A small restaurant with very little ambience... More
