Best Fine Dining in Cheddar Gorge & Caves

"Nestled within four acres of mature award-winning gardens, The Bath Priory hotel is a tranquil oasis just a short walk away from the city centre, think country house in the city. The hotel feels like a private residence, rooms are named after flowers and each of the 33 guest-rooms are different, and adorned with art work and antiques, sourced by Andrew and Christina Brownsword the hotel proprietors. Rooms come in various categories from classic through to deluxe with beautiful views out to the garden and their own balconies and if you want to go for the ultimate luxury experience choose one of their suites which include decadent roll top baths and separate living areas."

"Not only does the hotel have a luxurious spa, it has its eye very much on all things budding and beautiful – it has a stunning, award-winning garden and all its rooms are named after flowers. The Heather and Lilac offer ‘Romeo & Juliet’ balconies overlooking the gardens. The Bath Priory is perfect for a romantic weekend."

"It isn’t just about sharing a bowl of meatballs Lady-and-the-Tramp-style, but also digging into an indulgent desert together, trading bites of each other’s main or gushing about starters. Food can be a pretty magical thing whether it’s a first date or ten year anniversary, so we’ve rounded up some of the best romantic restaurants in Bristol to get the mood just right."

"Probably the best known Michelin star restaurant in Bristol, Casamia is a fine dining experience like no other. The menu at Casamia changes with the seasons, as does the interior of the restaurant. The dishes are designed to showcase seasonal produce at its best and are inspired by childhood memories, locations and people the chefs have met."

"Home to four Michelin star restaurants, Bristol is about way more than its beautiful architecture and rich maritime history. Set in valleys, near harbors or hidden away, these eateries all combine the beauty of Bristol with that of their food and, like the city that was the starting place for early voyages of exploration, these restaurants are pushing the boundaries. Come with us as we take a tour in and around Bristol to find the kitchens, and the accomplished chefs in them, who are proving that fine dining doesn’t have to be a stuffy affair."

"Since its relatively quiet opening in December of 2015, the restaurant's reputation has flourished, and it is not difficult to understand why they were awarded a Michelin star relatively quickly. They offer a beautiful, fresh, innovative menu which changes regularly, with every dish presented looking like a work of art. Vegetarians, vegans and all other dietary requirements are catered for sans problème - in fact, you get the feeling that the kitchen team here love to be challenged and enjoy creating something unusual and different."

"Blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Bulrush is a little restaurant hidden on Cotham Road South, serving a high-end eight-course tasting menu that has earned it a Michelin star. It’s a typical Bristol restaurant, the kind that feels like the fruits of a chef’s long-held dream to open their own food-focused place that pushes the envelope and creates something new. The kinds of dishes you can expect include kohlrabi, with bergamot, salt-baked meat radish and apple; and hay-baked artichoke with BBQ leeks and hay sauce."

"Another place I wish got shouted about more – Adelina Yard turns out some truly spectacular dishes in very understated surroundings, which is my kinda restaurant – I hate pomp and ceremony. Chef Jamie Randall is all about making local ingredients sing, and the plates always arrive looking gorgeous too. They’ve got a small terrace at the back of the restaurant which overlooks the river if you want some scenery while you eat."

"Adelina Yard is an independent restaurant that serves modern European food in a relaxed and informal environment!. It is run by Michelin starred chef, Jamie Randall. As well as a great a la carte menu, they definitely are also famous for their delicious tasting menus!"

"Another 3 AA Rosette restaurant is that of Dower House within the Royal Crescent Hotel. Diners can experience a modern take on British favourites, as well as a menu that focusses on seasonal produce. If you book on a clear and sunny day, guests can enjoy Al Fresco dining within the grounds."

"Why we love it: Good ol’ pub grub is what you’ll get here, but this isn’t your typical British boozer. The Pump House, tucked inside a beautifully renovated Victorian pumping station, belongs to top chef Toby Gritten, who serves fish fresh from the coast, fruit and veg from nearby allotments and local brews Butcombe and Bath Ales on tap. Time Out tip: Everything on the à la carte menu is worth a go, but if you’re feeling particularly adventurous (and flush), plump for the eight-course tasting menu."

"Why: This gorgeous old pub sits on the water looking over the River Avon, making it the perfect place to spend a summer afternoon. With a passion for local produce across their food and drinks offering they serve up Bristol-brewed beer and ales from Butcombe. Wine is sourced from small suppliers who promote sustainability and there’s a whole cocktail list dedicated just to gin."

"With epic views over the bridge and a lovely, almost holiday-like atmosphere, The Pump House is a must-visit pub just west of the harbourside. As the name suggests, The Pump House is located in a historic pumping station that dates back to Victorian times. It still showcases many of its traditional features from these days."

"What: Chef James Wilks got his first break as a teenager working at Midsummer House in Cambridge, before travelling the globe and cooking in some serious Michelin-starred restaurants. Fast-forward a few years and James now has his own Michelin-starred gaff in Redland – with a mini art gallery attached. The food here is contemporary and seasonal, with West Country producers making a big contribution and culinary ideas gleaned from the chef’s travels."

"Sadly, Bristol’s fifth and final Michelin star restaurant, Wilks, has closed its doors, but as proven above, there is still plenty to be explored and admired in and around Bristol and it’s gorgeous Michelin star restaurants. Enjoy your meal at some of Bristol’s finest restaurants. However, if you’re looking to eat out on a budget then why not check out our top 40 cheap places to eat in Bristol."

"While British food isn’t as famous (and rightly so) than other cuisines – although we do excel at preparing potatoes – the diversity of the UK and Bristol, especially the food scene is fantastic. Some of my favourite eateries are:. , located in the Whapping Wharf bar and restaurant quarter, serving up authentic Mexican food (I’m claiming this as someone who has spent a while living in Mexico!)."

"The Arnolfini art gallery is legendary among Bristolians, and not just for the incredible exhibitions that are on display. As well as being home to a cafe-bar that’s perfect for enjoying a post-exhibition coffee or glass of wine, there’s also an in-house bookshop boasting a range of different specialist publications. In the summer months, locals love sitting outside the building to enjoy the harbour views."

"You want to visit an iconic art gallery in Bristol, and you are here at the Arnolfini!. Right by the waterfront, you get to enjoy some of the most revered contemporary art in Bristol. Enjoy a range of exhibitions and a specialist art book shop right next door."

"About: Arnolfini's Mediterranean-inspired menu tastes even better on a sunny afternoon. Sit outside and enjoy pavement dining as you people watch. There's plenty of spots to catch some rays, or if you'd prefer, some shady trees to seek refuge under."

"Held on the first Sunday of every month at Green Park Station, Bath Flea Market offers antiques and collectables including watches, jewellery, records, books, furniture, fine art and vintage clothing. As you explore the market, you can enjoy sounds from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, courtesy of the market’s resident DJ."

"Located within one of the poshest areas of Bristol, Clifton Village, Côte Brasserie is everything you should expect from a fancy French restaurant. Their chicken dishes are made from corn-fed chickens reared in the heart of rural Brittany, they have fish dishes to suit most seafood lover’s tastes and oh, their desserts are to die for!. From gooey chocolate fondants to praline crêpes, you’d be hard pushed not to try them all."

Côte Brasserie serve breakfast and brunch from 8am until 12 noon on a Monday to Friday and then 9am to 1pm on a Saturday and Sunday.

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Despite its name, the Tobacco Factory Theatre is actually a café and bar that visitors can go to enjoy a nice evening. They have different events almost every night that they are open, ranging from comedy shows to musical acts."

"Add into this mix the Bath art scene with its Victoria Art Gallery and Theatre Royal, as well as its burgeoning restaurant scene, and there’s more than enough to fit into a Bath day tip. But the prices here are going to quickly add up, with hardly any of Bath’s attractions costing you less than £10 entry."

"This theatre is quite prominent in the British stage scene, and perhaps the most important outside of London. Many West-End productions are given a trial run here before moving on to the big city. That’s not to say that the shows tend to fall short."

"‘One of the most important surviving examples of Georgian theatre architecture’ is how the Theatres Trust describes the Theatre Royal in Bath, and we aren’t …"
