Discover more about Bathampton Mill Bath
A Historic Mill Reimagined as a Modern Dining Destination
Bathampton Mill occupies a converted watermill building on Mill Lane, a location steeped in the industrial heritage of the River Avon valley. The structure itself carries the character of its past, now thoughtfully adapted to serve as a contemporary gastropub that respects its origins while embracing modern hospitality. Situated in the quiet village of Bathampton, approximately two miles south of Bath's city centre, the mill benefits from a peaceful riverside setting that feels worlds away from the bustle of the Georgian city, yet remains easily accessible for visitors.Riverside Ambience and Outdoor Charm
The defining feature of Bathampton Mill is its exceptional riverside location. Diners can enjoy meals on outdoor terraces overlooking the River Avon, where the gentle flow of water and natural landscape create a serene backdrop for dining. The combination of historic architecture and contemporary comfort makes the space equally appealing in warmer months when outdoor seating becomes a highlight, and during cooler seasons when the interior provides shelter. The venue's design balances rustic character with modern amenities, creating an inviting atmosphere for casual meals, special occasions, and everything in between.Culinary Approach and Dietary Inclusivity
The kitchen focuses on British and European cuisine with a gastropub sensibility, emphasizing quality ingredients and straightforward preparation. The restaurant maintains dedicated vegan and vegetarian menus alongside its main offerings, reflecting a commitment to dietary inclusivity. Vegan options include dishes such as roasted lentil falafel, spiced coconut curry, and treacle and pecan tart, demonstrating that plant-based dining receives genuine culinary attention rather than token gestures. Gluten-free options are also available, making the venue accessible to guests with various dietary requirements. The full bar stocks beer, wine, and spirits, with service throughout the day from breakfast onwards.Practical Facilities and Accessibility
The mill is equipped with comprehensive facilities for modern diners. Free WiFi is available throughout, parking is provided on-site, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Highchairs are available for families with young children, and the restaurant accepts all major credit cards. The combination of these amenities with the scenic location makes Bathampton Mill a practical choice for families, groups, and solo diners alike. Table reservations are accepted and recommended, particularly during peak dining hours and weekends.Seasonal and Daily Rhythms
Operating from late morning through late evening, the mill adapts to different dayparts with breakfast service beginning at 9:00 AM on most days, followed by lunch and dinner service. The riverside setting transforms throughout the day, from morning light filtering through trees to golden afternoon sun reflecting off the water, and evening ambience as dusk settles over the valley. The outdoor terraces are particularly appealing during spring and summer months when the weather permits extended outdoor dining, though the covered and sheltered areas ensure year-round usability.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
