This is no ordinary village restaurant and punches well above its weight with its fine dining experience. Modestly perched on top of a hill in Holcombe, its backdrop is the stuff of Hardy's landscapes.. a magnificent church, gardens beautifully restored and even a small wooden playground for those willing to share this experience with their kids (kids' menu in the week). We have been several times now and each time, they squeeze us in- even accommodating our little pup (in the pub section not restaurant). A husband and wife team with an extraordinary barman who recreates nostalgic cocktails from (among others), his homemade gins.. The food is exceptional... simple ingredients, magically transformed into perfection from their extensive gardens to your plate - imagination and flair must surely be the chef's mantra. This place easily beats any competitor in Bath on food and/ or service alone. I thought long and hard about whether to review for fear of not finding a table next time, but I cannot deny that it deserves its success and worth the 20 minute cab from Bath every time!

I've been stopping off at Cookies for some years now. Always nice to see my quirky friend Char, whether it be tending bar or pulling up a stump on the cool patrons' side of the bar. Then there's Cookie....Go Brewers!! ☝️ And Free Peanuts! ?? Awesome place to stop and chat it up, have some cocktails and of course, enjoy the games! ?⚾
