Visiter le bar à cocktails à Bath

Le bar à cocktails "The King of Wessex" à Bath, en Angleterre, est un pub moderne qui fait partie de la célèbre chaîne britannique JD Wetherspoon et se distingue par son lien avec la riche histoire de la ville. Le nom du pub fait référence au couronnement d'Édouard, roi de Wessex et premier roi de l'Angleterre entière, qui a eu lieu dans une abbaye construite spécialement pour cette occasion et qui se trouvait sur le site de l'actuelle Bath Abbey. Cette référence historique confère à "The King of Wessex" une note culturelle particulière, qui se reflète également dans son rôle de lieu de rencontre convivial. En tant que partie d'un complexe de loisirs, le pub est un lieu prisé par une large clientèle – des jeunes aux familles en passant par les touristes qui explorent les attractions de Bath.

Essayer le petit déjeuner anglais traditionnel

L'intérieur de "The King of Wessex" est spacieux et ouvert, ce qui est typique de nombreux nouveaux établissements Wetherspoon. Au printemps 2024, le pub a été rénové, lui donnant une apparence moderne et fraîche tout en conservant son caractère fonctionnel. La décoration comprend une variété de sièges, notamment des zones familiales à l'arrière du pub, ainsi que des téléviseurs diffusant des actualités en direct ou des événements sportifs. Il y a aussi une terrasse qui est utilisée lors des journées douces, offrant aux clients un espace en plein air. L'atmosphère est particulièrement animée le soir, lorsque le pub est fréquenté par une clientèle plus jeune, ce qui en fait un lieu populaire pour des rencontres sociales. Le bar lui-même est le cœur du pub, avec un long comptoir qui met l'accent sur la sélection de boissons.

Pub Wetherspoon avec histoire

Culinairement, le pub propose une large gamme de plats typiques de Wetherspoon, avec un accent sur la cuisine traditionnelle britannique. Le Traditional English Breakfast est particulièrement apprécié, servi avec du bacon croustillant, des saucisses et un œuf parfaitement cuit, attirant les clients le matin ou à l'heure du déjeuner. Le Fish and Chips est également très apprécié, avec un poisson légèrement pané, qui reste frais et juteux, accompagné de frites dorées. La cuisine privilégie des plats solides et copieux qui ne visent pas des sommets culinaires, mais qui séduisent par leur fiabilité. Pour les gourmands, il y a des desserts comme le gâteau au chocolat chaud, offrant une texture riche et une boule de glace pour une douce conclusion.

Atmosphère de pub familiale

La sélection de boissons est un autre point fort, "The King of Wessex" jouant un rôle solide en tant que bar à cocktails. En plus d'une large gamme de bières réelles – souvent quatre à cinq variétés changeantes, complétées par des classiques bien connus de Wetherspoon comme Ruddles ou Doom Bar – le bar propose également une variété de cocktails. Ceux-ci vont des mélanges simples aux spécialités saisonnières qui plaisent beaucoup aux jeunes clients. La possibilité de participer à des festivals de bières nationaux Wetherspoon élargit parfois l'offre avec des bières plus inhabituelles provenant de brasseries indépendantes. Le pub est également fier de sa certification Cask Marque, qui atteste de la qualité de l'entretien de la bière. Pour les non-buveurs de bière, il y a une sélection de vins, de spiritueux et de boissons non alcoolisées qui complètent l'offre.

Profiter des cocktails à Bath

Le service suit le modèle Wetherspoon habituel : les clients commandent au comptoir ou via une application, puis la nourriture est apportée à la table. Le personnel est efficace et amical, bien que la qualité du service puisse varier selon l'affluence – même aux heures de pointe comme le soir ou les week-ends, le bar reste bien organisé. Le pub est accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite et convivial pour les familles, avec des chaises hautes et le Wi-Fi, ce qui le rend attrayant pour divers groupes de visiteurs. La propreté et l'entretien des installations, y compris les toilettes, sont régulièrement vérifiés, ce qui est souligné par une haute évaluation de l'hygiène alimentaire.

Best Place of For Wide-Range Food, Service, Atmosphere in Bath & The Staff Are Brilliant: Great Product & Great Value For Money (22/02/2025): I went into the The King Wessex [Weatherspoon's] , Bath on Saturday 22 February, 2025 January, 2025 & I had one of the best customer experiences in recent years. Elementally, I write to express my sincere heartfelt appreciation & gratitude for Meg [Shift Leader]. She delivered a highly professional & competent customer service, which she provided in both a friendly and accessible manner. Meg [Shift Leader], is incredibly "attentive" every time I come to eat at The King of Wessex [J D Weatherspoon], Bath & goes to great lengths to check on how my day had gone, which is what makes a "curated" high quality pub experience in my view. She produced a extremely satisfying customer experience from start to finish, for which I will always be grateful for. Furthermore, I would absolutely recommend, Meg [Shift Leader], as she was incredibly curating, extremely knowledgeable about the Weatherspoon's Menu & punctilious throughout my "lovely customer experience". I would strongly recommend "The King Wessex Bath" duo, to their eclectic distinguished atmosphere, great range in food options & unbeatable collection of beverages. The King Wessex Bath, is the Embodiment of " Pub Excellence"

Handy place to get a cheap pint in & dear city.You get some idiots here sometimes but that's the same everywhere now but they don't last very long before the staff ask them to leave.

Food not overly amazing unfortunately. We ordered freedom breakfast, which I've had in several other wetherspoons as its an easy gluten free choice. However, this took almost 20mins to be served to us, and came out lukewarm at best. The waiting staff seemed to be quite overwhelmed, but the pub wasn't overly busy, maybe half full. Pub was clean, toilets were decent, although I'm not keen on the fact they have camera in the sink area part of the loos. The cubicles themselves have tall doors, so I doubt the camera could see in, but even so, not a pleasant thought. All in all quite disappointing, I know spoons is a quick and easy option for things like brunch, but it's not as good as I'd hoped

I appreciate a good weatherspoons and this is definitely not one of them, it's scruffy and the toilets are disgusting. Didn't have food as I couldn't bring myself to do it. For some reason I expected Bath to do better but in this case it failed.

We have just finished our meal at the King of Wessex pub in Bath, our meals were cold, my wife had the mixed grill and her meat was tough and cold. I had the sausages with chips and beans, the sausages were barely warm and the beans were stone cold. I used to be a chef and am well aware how quickly baked beans and a mixed grill can cool so more should and could have been done to avoid this.

Wetherspoons #128 visited. This is the first time I've managed to visit this Spoons branch, on my previous two visits to Bath, the pub was absolutely rammed, and was unable to find a table. A reasonable sized branch, situated on the western side of the City Centre, in the Kingsmead Entertainment complex. Not too far from the old Bath Green Park Station. Ordered at the Bar in this occasion. Ordered a Big Cheese Burger, a double burger with Brie and cheese sauce. This came with chips, two Haloumi fries, and a pint of Leffe Blonde. This was on special offer for £9.96. This was one of the burgers being offered as part of the Xmas 2024 menu. The pub was reasonably busy on this visit, and managed to find a table towards the rear of the pub. Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Unfortunately the chips and Halloumi fries were lukewarm. However, the overall meal was OK. Edit: Returned around 8pm after a long trek round Bath. Had the 10" Southern Fried Chicken Wrap, and what appeared to be a large portion of chips! Not bad for £6.67 - with the pint of Leffe Blonde. Only issue was the wrap didn't come with the smokey Chipotle mayo, clearly someone forgot to add it, so was a bit dry. Wetherspoons really needs a second branch in Bath, not only because this pub can get very busy, but also due to it being a distance from the main part of the large City Centre. I doknow plans were afoot for a second branch, hopefully will happen at some point in the future.
