Boathouse (The), Bath

Situated on the outskirts of the city, The Boathouse is a popular watering hole for families who flock there in the hundreds during the summer months. Children entertain themselves by playing in the small playground provided, or more usually, with a game or two of hide and seek in the thick bushes. Behind the pub is a small field with a donkey, so don't forget to bring him a carrot. The beer garden is a pleasant place to waste a few hours, and the atmosphere owes much to the waterside setting. Food is served all day and consists of the usual steak house fare. In addition, a carvery menu is also available on Sunday lunchtimes. Altogether, a great little find for parents looking for somewhere to spend a relaxing afternoon.
