Green Park Farmers’ Market showcases the artisans powering Bath’s food culture.

Green Park Farmers’ Market

Every Saturday, the restored Victorian station fills with produce from Somerset and Wiltshire. Grab a flat white from Colonna & Small’s, sample Bath Soft Cheese, and stock up on heritage vegetables from Valley Veg. Arrive early for the best pastries.

Noya’s Kitchen Supper Club

Noya’s monthly Vietnamese feasts book out fast for good reason. Expect chilli caramel chicken, fragrant pho, and stories from Noya’s family table. BYO wine and an open mind for new flavours.

Landrace Bakery

The sourdough here has a cult following. Pick up a loaf along with seasonal deli items, then climb upstairs to the dining room for plates celebrating British grains and coastal seafood.

Thoughtful drinks

  • The Beckford Bottle Shop: a wine cave stocked with low-intervention bottles and cosy small plates.
  • Electric Bear Brewing: local craft beer with rotating taps and weekend brewery tours.
  • Abbey Ales: Bath’s oldest brewery pouring the legendary Bath Gem and seasonal specials.

Take-home treats

Stop by The Fine Cheese Co. for a bespoke cheeseboard, Seven Hills Chocolate for small-batch bars, and Comins Tea for carefully sourced loose leaf blends. Pack a picnic and enjoy it on the Royal Crescent lawn if the sun appears.
