Garrick's Head, Bath

Third visit this week, a bit disappointing after the joys of the first two. First, the range of draught ciders and perrys was reduced to a couple of bottled varieties, for no obvious reason. Secondly, the menu was a bit dull. Only four choices for mains, two of which were veggie and one other was liver and bacon. I chose the remaining one, beer-battered hake and triple-cooked chips. This turned out to be a fairly straightforward fish and chips. My friend had the liver and bacon, which was exactly that, not in a sauce of any sort. He had a starter of parsnip soup, which seemd ok, and I had a piece of pork belly, which was very good.The friendly waitress told us about how she got very drunk the night before her driving test, but passed anyway, whereas when she took her maths GCSE she failed, despite having revised and gone to bed early the night before. The obvious conclusion, she should have got drunk before her GCSE. The place was empty again, as it had been on the previous two lunchtime visits, except for a group of businessmen who arrived shortly before we left. Not sure if I will visit again for a while.
