★★★★★2 years agoI was lucky enough to win their competition over the summer. My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous evening with great wine and delicious tapas. The atmosphere was welcoming and cosy and the staff attentive and friendly, but not in an overwhelming way. Food was reasonably priced and well presented. If you haven't visited - you really should! Can't wait to book our next visit. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening 😊

★★★★★a year agoWe love this little place next to Victoria Park in Bath city centre. Wonderful for food and drinks. Quality. First class service and this also applies to the products on offer. Breakfast (see photo) is a must if you're ever nearby. Cracking coffee and teas as well. The staff are outstanding and welcoming. A credit to the establishment. Take away or eat in. Thoroughly recommend. You won't be disappointed. Many thanks to all at Picnic In The Park. You're amazing.
