The Dower House is the Royal Crescent Hotel Bath’s fine dining venue, with an atmospheric location overlooking the gardens. Formerly known as Pimpernel’s, after the fictional character who lived at No. 16 Royal Crescent, the Dower House is an award-winning dining destination. It serves lunch and dinner, and pre-booking is recommended for both guests and non-residents. It has a refined and delicious seasonal menu. During the evening, the restaurant has an early family service and a later adults-only sitting.

The surroundings of the Royal Garden Hotel are perfect for a sophisticated afternoon tea experience. Tea can be booked for any afternoon during the week, either in one of the lounges or out in the garden during the summer. Private dining for up to forty guests is available in five different salons, each of which has a sophisticated appointment.
