Following a mouthwatering debut that brought an estimated £33,000 boost to Bath’s vibrant hospitality scene, Bath Restaurant Week is back for its second year, running from 17th to 24th March 2026. This eight-day celebration of Bath’s culinary excellence promises to be even more flavourful, festive, and fun.
From cosy cafés to elegant eateries and buzzing bars, establishments across the city will once again showcase their best bites, sips, and specials. Diners can explore exclusive offerings via the Bath Restaurant Week website, where participating venues will list everything from tasting menus and signature cocktails to lunchtime deals and brand-new dishes.
Bath BID has designed the event to be flexible and bespoke, encouraging participants to use it in the way which best suits their business model and gives them the opportunity to showcase their brand to new and existing customers. Whether that be offering tasting menus, new dishes, signature cocktails, lunchtime opening hours or special offers.
Allison Herbert, CEO of Bath BID, shared her excitement:
“Bath Restaurant Week is a celebration of the city’s incredible food and drink scene. It’s a chance for businesses to shine, for locals and visitors to discover new favourites, and for our community to come together over great food.”
Bath Restaurant Week will kick off, just like last year, with an exhilarating Waiters’ Race. This lively competition is a wonderful opportunity for local waitstaff to display their agility and speed, balancing wide trays, drawing in spectators who cheer on their favourite contenders. It’s a crowd-pleasing tradition that sets the tone for a week of spirited hospitality and community cheer.
Bath Restaurant Week is free for Bath BID member businesses and there are paid options for non-member businesses. Further information about participation in Bath Restaurant Week will be released soon.
