The Old Fish Market, September 1997

This Fullers pub opened in August 1997. I'm not usually one for promoting chain pubs but this one really is worth including in my guide. The pub is situated in the city centre in the Bristol Bridge area on the site of the old fish market. A very smart interior with large wooden tables and a huge mural on one of the walls. They've also a covered courtyard where you can enjoy your drink. They've three Fuller's beers permanently on offer, Chiswich Bitter (abv. 3.5%), London Pride (abv. 4.1%) and ESB (abv. 5.0%). They also had a Fuller's seasonal beer and a guest beer from a local brewery available.

There's a good menu if you fancy a bite to eat. The lamb and cider pie was great though rather annoyingly served on 2 plates?! The food is reasonably priced and was certainly very tasty.

A great new city centre pub clearly popular with workers from nearby offices popping in for an after dinner drink and chat.

The Lost Pubs of Bath,
k Elliott & A Swift, 2005

The triumphant conclusion to the 'Bath Pubs' trilogy is a celebration of Bath's lost pubs. Join such luminaries as Dr Johnson, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, along with a motley array of coachmen, policemen, harlots, vagabonds and ne'er-do-wells, as they wander from grand coaching inn to humble alehouse, from refined pleasure garden to squalid knocking shop. The one thing all their ports of call have in common is that, in every case, last orders have been called for ever.
