How it all began for our Emberwood brasserie restaurant
It all begins with the hearth. Simple cooking over natural flame. Fresh and quality of local seasonal produce.

Bath has a thriving food and drink scene and is a tourist hotspot for dining on delicious local produce and exploring new food trends. Our brand new restaurant will become one of the most sought-after dining experiences in Bath, an ideal destination for a foodie break, to celebrate a special occasion or unwind at the end of a busy day over timeless classic British dishes using the very best local, seasonal produce.
Timeless elegance and classic British dishes.
The Emberwood restaurant concept combines sustainable local produce with the exotic flavours, creating a dining experience rich in history and contemporary flair, perfect for gatherings and celebrations.
A blend of heritage and modern culinary artistry
The new restaurant promises to deliver an exceptional and vibrant food and drink scene to the Bath community, offering a modern interpretation of the classically chic yet vibrant and ageless British brasseries of old.
In a celebration of the legacy of the Francis Hotel and its creation by the esteemed architect John Wood the Elder, the re-imagination of the restaurant and bar will be a marvellous reincarnation that fondly nods to its English roots. This transformation playfully and effortlessly elevates the aesthetic, experience, and menu to new levels of timeless creativity and vibrancy.
The restaurant will combine sustainable local produce with the exotic ingredients once treasured by the wealthy elite. Expect the finest locally sourced meats and fresh, seasonal vegetables, paired with the luxurious flavours of seafood. The Georgians loved to entertain, and dinner was always a feast to be savoured with family and friends. This harmonious blend of regional and exotic ingredients ensures a dining experience that is both rich in history and full of contemporary flair, creating the perfect setting for gatherings and celebrations.
