A prestigious two AA rosettes for outstanding cooking

Bath’s Queensberry Hotel isn’t just a beautifully quirky - and quirkily beautiful - townhouse hotel within a short walk of the centre, it’s also home to the Old Q Bar and the Olive Tree restaurant, both fast developing their own independent reputations as great places to eat, drink and relax.

Under head chef Nicholas Brodie, the Olive Tree has been going from strength to strength. Nick’s richly varied experience and travels (in London and Hong Kong as well as around Asia, then back in Bath) have seen him establish a unique style.

Allied to this excellence are the particular benefits of Bath itself. The city’s location, surrounded as it is by soft green hills and beautiful, rolling countryside, means that the kitchen enjoys the pick of produce from high-quality West Country suppliers, whether of fruit, vegetables, cheeses or meat. Nick and the team are perfectly placed to take advantage of these fresh, seasonal ingredients and combine them expertly to fill the restaurant’s frequently changing, attractively priced menu.

The Old Q Bar, meanwhile, is relaxed, friendly and beautiful looking. It’s possessed of a certain (some might say old-fashioned) devotion to excellent drinks expertly served by knowledgeable staff. Unlike some, this is a bar whose charms don’t shout too loudly for attention - it prefers to engage and grow on customers, seeking to win their love and loyalty with its sumptuous style and relaxed atmosphere.
