The Raven of Bath

On Queen Street, The Raven occupies two Georgian townhouses and offers the sort of pause that changes the pace of a day spent at the Roman Baths. The pub's own history separates the old building from the present business: the name The Raven appeared in 2004, and the pub expanded into the neighbouring property in 2022. It would be misleading to claim centuries of operation under the same name. Today several bars provide places to talk, with a selection of cask ales and food that does not turn the visit into a formal occasion.

Savoury pies are its culinary calling card: the menu advertises fillings including beef with the house ale, chicken and ham, as well as vegetarian and vegan choices, alongside sausages and other dishes. Being known for pies does not establish that every one is made in the pub kitchen, and that claim is unnecessary to describe the experience. Online customers frequently enjoy the atmosphere and beer range; some are less satisfied with a particular dish or service at busy times. That mixture depicts a living pub rather than a promise of a flawless dinner.

The exact address is 6–7 Queen Street, a short street north of the monumental centre. The official site lists food until 21:00 daily and says it takes no reservations: turn up and ask for a table. If you leave the Baths late, kitchen hours matter more than the bar's closing time. The phone number can settle questions before you walk over; the Facebook account linked by the site belongs to this pub. For a pint and pie in a traditional room, The Raven is a clear option, with the possible wait that comes with arriving without a booking.
