I’m a Bristolian. As such, praising Bath isn’t something that comes naturally or remotely comfortably. However, there’s no getting away from the hard facts of the matter: Bath is no longer just Roman bricks and Regency facades; it is a living, breathing and exceptionally well-fed city. Here are our 11 unmissable Bath restaurants.

Their newly released Pirr Colheita Rosé is a masterclass in why Portugal’s Alentejo region deserves your attention. The technical composition reads like a beautiful, deliberate middle finger to mainstream rosé conventions — we love a winery that's willing to rip up the rulebook, and Pirr does it in effortless style.

There’s a particular kind of excitement that comes with dining somewhere you’ve long anticipated. Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat trades heavily on atmosphere, but beyond the aesthetic, the food delivers where it matters most: with native and modern ingredients in unison, creating delicate, polished, yet energetic Asian-Fusion plates.

Situated in the UK’s smallest city, Twr y Felin is a jewel in St Davids’ miniscule but glittering crown. Exceptional service, delicious local flavours and a chance to unwind in style makes this Pembrokeshire hotel one seriously worth the journey to the wild, wild west of Wales.

As London begins its yearly tilt into the frantic self-importance of the summer season,  Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art has opened at the V&A like a sharp, surrealist elbow to the ribs. It’s a potent reminder of the lasting allure of one of high fashion’s true originals.

You don’t just walk into a Vivienne Westwood exhibition. You sidle in cautiously, because her clothes have a reputation — and a presence — that can be intimidating. At the Bowes Museum this spring, it’s not just the collection that hits you. It’s the attitude.
