Well, we survived another year and at the very least, that deserves a toast. But we're not about the very least here at DesignMyNight, we're about the very best - and to see out 2026, it's time to splash the cash and enjoy a little excess in the form of incredible dishes with our nearest and dearest.
From quirky pizza joints pouring craft brews through to a party atmosphere at one of our favourite American-style diners, we've rounded up the best Bath restaurants for New Year's Eve.
If your New Year's Eve plans in Bath are on the casual side, The Bath Stable has got you covered. Touting some of the West Country's best pizzas, the lively bar has a long list of craft brews on taps as well as live music and plenty of space for groups.
Browns Brasserie & Bar is a classic gem in Bath's restaurant scene, so of course you can expect a top-notch New Year's Eve dinner from them. Head here for a five-course feast made up of smoked duck breast, fillet of sea bass and apple tart with a classic Bellini for toasting to 2026.
Set in the very centre of Bath, Huntsman is a charming British boozer found in a Grade-II listed building. Expect all the usual pub touches, including an open fireplace and rich selection of beer, as well as plenty of delicious bites to line your stomach before the clock strikes midnight.
Ring in the 2026 with cocktails and festive cheer at The Botanist. In the heart of Milsom Place, its grand pillars and glorious greenery are the perfect back drop to the last night of the year.
Just £15 gets you into the party with live music and fizz as the clocks strikes midnight. For £50 per head, you can tuck into a three-course festive feast and going into January well and truly fed.
