From the Hearth

Simple cooking over natural flame honours the freshness and quality of local seasonal produce.

The Original Local

Born and raised here, we’re woven into the fabric of this city, just like the honey-hued stone that shapes Bath's streets.

Every dish we serve is a reflection of our pride in Bath. You’ll taste it in the ingredients sourced from local farmers, in the dishes crafted over our open hearth, and in cocktails inspired by the city’s rich cultural scene.

And just like any true Bathonian, we believe in a warm welcome. If you’ve called Bath home for years, or if you’re just here for a short visit, we invite you to settle in and enjoy.

"It starts with the seasons first. Flavours balanced always. Then hearth-fired over charcoal for bold, smoky flavours. That’s how we build every dish at Emberwood."
David Hazell, Executive Head Chef

From Field to Fire

We cook with fire and source with care. Flames kiss, flavours deepen, and the best local ingredients shine.

Creedy Carver chicken from Devon, day-boat Cornish hake, sun-ripened Isle of Wight tomatoes, every ingredient has a story, and we honour it over charcoal.

Start with crispy Porthilly oysters or coal-roasted scallops dripping in garlic butter. Follow with dry-aged côte de boeuf and beef-fat béarnaise or whole monkfish tail wrapped in lardo.

And for the sweet finish, our signature rhubarb and custard with white chocolate, or a golden, glossy yuzu curd choux bun that disappears all too quickly.

A change in season

Along with the colder months, our seasonal menu has arrived.

Some are familiar faces that our locals have wished for their return. Rolled pork belly served with spiced black pudding, borlotti beans and salsa verde. Rich, earthy and bright in the right places, it is the kind of plate that makes the cooler evenings feel welcome.

And a few fresh new plates courtesy of Executive Head Chef David Hazell. Braised chicory meets Moody Blue cheese and poached quince, a dish that balances sweet, sharp and savoury with real precision. Or wild mushroom ragu, served with hispi cabbage, polenta and a fennel and herb salad. Earthy mushrooms, hearty for the season.
