About The Reading Room

A little about us

We started with one oven and a simple idea: cook food we would want to eat on our day off. Everything is made in-house, from the bread to the ice cream, and nothing leaves the kitchen unless we are proud of it.

  • Based in Bath — and proud of it
  • Everyone welcome, every day of the week
  • Honest prices, no small print, no upselling
