WatchHouse Bath

The space

The cafe occupies a building on historic Old Bond Street, within the city's central conservation area, and the interior was designed by Deidra Hodgson. With room for over 80 guests plus some outdoor seating, it is larger than most independent Bath cafes, so you have a fair chance of a table even at busy times.

What to order

WatchHouse describes Bath as a Brunch House, so the menu goes further than its London espresso bars: breakfast classics and seasonal plates alongside the company's own coffee. It works for a full breakfast, a late brunch or simply a flat white and pastry while you plan the day.

Using it on a visit

Old Bond Street links Milsom Street with the streets around the Abbey and the Roman Baths, so WatchHouse slots naturally into a morning on foot. Dog owners will appreciate that four-legged guests are welcome inside. The space is also available for private events if you are planning a gathering in town. Being central, it is equally handy as a first stop on arrival, a mid-morning break from shopping on Milsom Street, or a late brunch before an afternoon at the Roman Baths or the Holburne Museum across the river.
