This #FoodFriday, meet the Front of House Manager at No. 15 Bath by @guesthousehotels - Angela 🧳💻

"Hi, I'm Angela! It's such a privilege to share our Georgian hotel and the city of Bath with visitors from nearby Bristol to as far away as New Zealand. Whether it’s helping guests to create lasting memories during their weekend breaks, milestone celebrations or family reunions, no two days are the same. 

Outside of work you may well find me in one of my favourite local places to eat and drink!

@pintxobath is tucked away on Barton street and is a truly authentic tapas experience, transporting me direct to southern Spain. 

For a relaxing cup of coffee, it has to be @colonnacoffee on Chapel Row. 

If I'm after a sweet treat, I love to pick up an almond croissant from the lovely @landracebakery on Walcot Street. 

For hot summer evenings, I recommend taking a trip to @minerva_wine on the Corston Vineyard estate - it's delicious!

Lastly, stop by The Bar at No. 15 Bath for the best after hours tipples. My favourite is the Cherry Sour. Vibrantly red, a touch of creaminess and a delicious mix of flavours. Don’t forget to eat the cherry!"
