Noah's, and its parent The Scallop Shell in Bath, have become firm favourites of mine. Neither have, on paper, the most inspiring or glamorous location, but Noah's does have a good view of the Cumberland basin and Avon gorge from some tables. Those of us of a certain age will remember the site from the 70s when it was an all night caff called the Venturers. Their fish is always the freshest and is cooked with accuracy and skill. As the tyre people might say, "ça vaut le détour".

Thanks Martin, the food does does great and thanks for clarifying about the views.

I thought the location was so remarkable that it would at least be worth a passing mention in the review, just so readers inspired by reading it would be prepared for what to expect if they decided to book in.
