Introducing Emberwood

Emberwood, our new British brasserie, will open in spring 2025. Inspired by the warmth of the open hearth, Emberwood will bring together seasonal ingredients, local provenance, and a passion for honest cooking. The exciting drinks list will feature thoughtfully designed cocktails. Sip on your favourite tipple with a little twist.

 

The original local at No. 5 Queen Square

As original locals of Bath, our story is deeply intertwined with the city’s fascinating heritage. Like our fellow Bathonians, we are immensely proud of our history and will celebrate this legacy through the partners we collaborate with, the dishes we serve and the cocktails we craft.  Our menus and hospitality will draw inspiration from Bath’s vivid cultural scene and, just like our neighbours, we will offer a truly warm welcome to all who visit. Taste a slice of Bath, lovingly prepared right before your eyes from our open hearth.
