Seeing as your in Bath about 25 miles away from you is the Birth place of Cheddar Cheese and England's deepest and most beautiful Gorge with Caves you have to check out Cheddar Gorge, and taste the traditional cave matured cheddar cheese. The history of the caves and the history of how cheddar cheese was made then matured in the caves is mind blowing
Branston pickle is not something you'd generally eat on its own, you should have tried it with the cheese! I'm surprised they were offering a Ploughman's Lunch with chips, traditionally it's eaten with fresh, crusty bread.
She clearly said she opted for chips lol even though it was served with bread !!! Don't you listen lol
@@juliecobbina2024 My point is that I'm surprised chips were an "option" in the first place! I looked at the Raven's menu online, and it says you can have a Ploughman's with bread (normal or gluten free) and butter, or chips. Can't say I've ever come across anywhere that allows you to choose chips instead of bread.
Haha, agree. "Roast dinner. You normally have with mash but have opted for Coco Pops instead"... 😂 Just love this channel. Its so sweet.
@@andybaker2456 I agree with you. Should be bread or nothing. Still looked nice though!
@@juliecobbina2024 calm yourself down lol
I am Bathonian (Born in Bath} and still live here. You did a great job of showing the tourist spots. I would always advise speaking to locals and you would have had a much better experience. However good on you for being so nice about my home.
Funny watching you have a ploughman's lunch with no bread, it's about the thick bread and the cheese and pickles put on it 😂
Lol yeah that was a weird decision, but they offered Cara chips, so she accepted.
....and the pork pie is....?
You would think that after fifty two years after moving to Australia, I wouldn't get 'homesick', but when I watch your videos I do. I've been back to the UK seven times (including to Bath) and hope to do it one last time.
We hope so too! Thank you for watching
@kate walker calm down love, not going to happen.
10:18 I'm with Jeremy on the steak and blue cheese pie with chips and red onion gravy. Comfort food heaven, if there ever was one....
As a boy and teenager I was at school and lived in this beautiful city back in the 1950s and have many
happy memories. It is great to see it thriving, with so many businesses bringing it alive now. I can easily
understand your own enthusiasm for it. Keep finding fun and interest in your entertaining UK travels.
Oh the bread is nearly as important as the cheese for a ploughman's.
Love watching your videos and the pure joy you have for your travels.
I lived on the tourist bus route in Bath for many years. Saturdays and Sundays were the days when we would mess with the tourists, as our windows were right at the same level as the top deck of the bus. I won't say the things my housemates and I did, but let's just say that Japanese tourists never knew where to look, while others would just laugh. I now know how zoo animals feel.
Love these England travel videos,you guys certainly seem to love it here. Hope the rest of your tour is equally enjoyable.
Thank you! It's over now, but we had a wonderful time.
We are currently in Bath at the moment and after watching your video, we have been to all the eateries that you have done and I must say The Sally Lunn house was definitely our favourite. Thank you for showing all you do, without these then we wouldn’t have known about them. Next stop is London and on my list is the cheese potato from Borough market 😋😊 Again thank you 🙏🏼 xx
Crikey - that smoked salmon looked scrumptious, made my mouth water! (Gave yourselves away as Americans, when after cutting food, transferred your fork into your right hand, lol.)
There are also so many interesting museums to see in Bath plus the Jane Austin museum and a guided tour around the famous Assembley Rooms is a must to see how the Georgians entertained themselves. At 4pm most days you can go on a relaxing boat ride from Pultney Wier. How about bathing in warm thermal spring water on the roof top with wonderful views of the Bath skyline, in the Bath Thermae? There are also many beautiful parks to walk in and relax - The National Trust Prior park is an impressive one to visit.
Thank you for the suggestions! We'll have to try some of these next time.
Your eyes are so expressive when both of you are describing the food. 😂 You'll have to try Eccles cake if you are visiting the famous Betty's Tea Rooms in York or another café up north.
Thank you for the suggestion! We did stop at Bett's Tea Room.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Oh really? Hope you tried the famous Eccles cake?
Yorkshire Curd Tart if you’re going to Bettys though Eccles cake comes a close second!
Wife and I love your videos. We're from TX although I was born & raised in the UK. We're going in September and it will be my wife's first time there. I had to laugh when you ordered a ploughmans with chips instead of bread... then tried eating Branston on its own LOL. However, one of the big reasons we love your videos is because you guys try the foods and that's our biggest thing when we go new places.
Bath is my favourite city by a mile, so fortunate to live near it with its beautiful scenery and Georgian architecture 😍
I'm really enjoying following your travels and explorations around our little island country! You've opened my eyes to a few things that I was maybe taking for granted and it's nice to see things from a fresh, joyful perspective, so thank you both for that. It's definitely about time I revisited Bath, that's for sure. And that steak and stilton pie looked divine!
I'm glad you are both enjoying your travels and I look forward to seeing where you go next. Take care, love and peace.
Was that you in the pie?
@@Mathemagical55 I wish!
Thank you! ❤
It's mind blowing to visit places that date back 2000 years or more to Roman times. It must be especially so for Americans, so I appreciated your comments about the antiquity of the baths. Really enjoying your videos and seeing your enjoyment of your vacation.
Thank you! And yes, coming from a place that most things are only from the last 150 years, it is especially awe-inspiring to visit a place like Bath.
@@TheMagicGeekdom you should visit York, it’s a city founded by the Vikings.
@@davidevans916 If York was founded by Vikings how come it had a Roman name, Eboracum? What you mean it took its present name from the Norse, Jorvik.
I would love to see you explore The Isle of Wight!
We were there 2 months ago. There is a reason this city is the only one in England listed as a world Heritage site. It’s beautiful.
True!
There's only two entire cities that are WHS on the planet. The other is Venice.
So glad you enjoyed visiting Bath, us Brits are quite proud of our heritage, and when it comes to pies, we're the best. Happy days!
thnx for the vids guys, lovely seeing other nations reactions to our foods (I was a pro chef for decades, now in healthcare)
Great vlog - Bath is so beautiful
We moved to Bath in January after 43 years in London. We absolutely love the place, not least because the people are incredibly friendly. We settled in immediately. The Raven is good, but you should have gone to the Old Green Tree and The Star.
Thank you for the suggestions! Hopefully we can check those out next time.
I renovated the raven done all the plasterering and other work in the pub when the new owners took over about ten years ago
I think everyone in the UK had an introduction to Branston pickle from a very early age. I can honestly think of no one who dislikes it but you are not the first person I have seen on YT who had that reaction. My go to sandwich would always be a cheese and Branston pickle sandwich. Pleased you liked Bath. It's my hometown.
I'm glad you loved Bath it is very beautiful with lots of hidden treasures
I'm a British born American from London, my late Mother was born in Chicago IL, I'm currently in London and my cousins from FL along with his Canadian Brother-InLaw are all coming over here in the next few days from now for my Sister's wedding in the English countryside. I have to laugh, they've been coming over here their whole lives and still think. this country is like something out of a movie/novel etc where people get married in castles and are required to wear specific clothes in order to go places etc lmao. My late Mother's Mother is British whereas my late Grandfather from the Midwest was stationed here in England during WW2 with the USAF(the base was located in central landlocked England), whereas my late Uncles were stationed down on the south coast with the USN. My Mom late settled here as a 10 yo in the late 1960's, I unfortunately lost her in 2005 but as a young Teenager I was fortunate enough to visit unique parts of this country such as Bath,Bristol, Stonehenge, Torquay, Exeter etc, it was almost 20 years ago now but I remember it all so clearly, There is still so much for you guys to see here!
Bath is amazing.
We thought so too!
Love this. I used to live in bath and it made me want to go back and visit.
Techically that's not a ploughmans, but it looked delicious. A ploughmans is usually made up mainly of at least one cheese, maybe ham and/or other cold meats, pickles and crusty bread. They sometimes now come with a salad, but not usually that large, and I've never had one with chips. I had a ploughmans yesterday and it was a huge slab of baked ham, a massive chunk of Cheddar, bread and pickles, and a small salad on the side of the plate. I would consider that salad and chips. 😂 Often the tourist heavy places don't do things as authentically, which I'm sure is the same in th US. A pub out of town would be more likely to have a decent ploughmans. I had one in a rural pub in Cornwall that didn't have any gluten free bread for me so they added extra ham and cheese, and my father in law had to help me eat it all, there was so much.
Thank you for the info! We'll have to find a proper Ploughman's next time.
I agree, I wouldn't have called that a ploughman's.
Honestly, you two make me so happy. You’re so positive ❤️ I recommend visiting the Isle of Wight! Plenty of history and cool stuff there - they’ve filmed Doctor Who, and it’s called Dinosaur Island for a reason! Let me know if you want to know more. 😊
Your mention of mango chutney reminded me of a visit to Bath years ago. One of the pubs - I forget which - made me a wholemeal bun stuffed with Stilton Cheese and mango chutney! A wonderful "sweet & sour" combination which I still love. A great variation on the theme of the classic British "cheeses & pickle roll". Thoroughly recommended!
I have never thought of that combination but it sounds delicious! I will have to try and make that myself.
Sounds wonderful!
Yet another great vlog. I love the enthusiasm that you have for our great little country!
The brown pickle included with your ploughman's is probably Branston Pickle, which can be an acquired taste, but well done you for trying it. 👍
I'm looking forward to watching your future vlogs as you continue your visit around the U.K. 🤗🤗
I absolutely love Branston Pickle... so was a little disappointed it wasn't appreciated in the same way. Mind you, although I can easily eat it on its own, it should be eaten WITH the cheese (to balance out the flavours). But hey ! We can't all like the same things.
Also chips with a Ploughman's Lunch ? No buttered, crusty French bread, toasted sourdough or similar; sacré bleu ! 😂🇬🇧
Am I odd, for only ever having a ploughman's lunch with cheese and pork pie?
@@stewedfishproductions7959 same! It’s a little sad that it was tried straight off the spoon first taste I think
That did look like the lamest ploughman's ever.
Thank you! ❤
MY home town! well done guys!
You are, of course, absolutely right. If there's somewhere you want to go to, then go. Don't wait, don't put it off to next year because no-one knows
what's round the corner. Do it now, you may not get another chance........................................................the ancient Englishman.
And don't make decisions that will change your life completely but not in a good way.Enjoy your stay
Exactly!
Definitely one of the best cities in England
We agree!
The Raven pub in Bath does the most amazing pies😋
The ploughman’s branston pickle (brown) is meant to be eaten as a dollop on the cheese. The small onions are silver skins and again meant to be eaten with bread rather than chips. But we’ll done for trying.
So glad you loved Bath, it's such a wonderful place. Sally Lunns are a classic and cinnamon butter is my favourite too. Bath buns are nowhere near as nice.
A ploughman's is traditionally a lunch meal and eaten with chunky bread and proper large pickled onions. Homemade chutney is so much nicer than Branston pickle so it's a shame you didn't have that included.
Did you sample the pump room water...it's quite an experience! 😁
So good! Thank you for the info!
My mum grew up in Bath, and I have family still there. I grew up not far so I spent a lot of time there! Still live within a hour of there! But I'm ashamed to say...even though I have Bathonian blood in me! I have never heard of the Sally Lunns bun!
Hey guys. Just loving the happiness you guys are showing in Bath. Beautiful place, did you know they have Roman baths there😜
Thankyou for being so polite and appreciative of our culture's/history and our country. Stay safe 🤗🤗
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to really sample such delights as our little island can offer. Inspirational viewing, too! So glad you're enjoying the UK. Peace :-)
I love watching your videos. I hope you are having an excellent time here in the uk 🇬🇧😁👍
Thank you! 😃
Baths a beautiful city, I'm in the glorious position of living exactly the same distance between the centre of Bath and Bristol. Both cities are so unique and with very different vibes add to that I have a steam train go past my house every day no where I would rather live.
Do you live in Bitton
We love Bath and will be there in May! Anyway, I have eaten at both Sally Lunn and The Bath Bun...and the buns are about the same. We love the food at the Bath Bun restaurant, I get the Wiltshire ham and local white cheddar sandwich...which I dream about after I get back home and my daughter likes the baked potato with baked beans and cheese. Yum.
We need to head back to Bath it's such a lovely place. The ham and cheddar sandwich sounds wonderful!
Just found you and I love love love your channel. Going to London in October 24
Good choice on going for a pie 🥧 at the Raven. Bath is my home town.
Well thanks to your video my wife and I are going to Bath on Monday ( 25th) for 3 days.
Love these vids, that steak and blue pie looked fit 😋
Thanks!
I’m so glad you liked Bath, I was born there and live just outside, like literally 20 minutes drive away. I am biased but I do think I’m lucky to live in such a nice place ❤️
No bias needed. Bath is gorgeous.
What a wonderful place it must to be to live. ❤
So you can't afford a house in Bath so you moved to Radstock 😂😂😂
@@waverunner3911 I was born in hospital there but raised in Wiltshire, so nowhere near Radstock.
It's a beautiful student ghetto. Not an easy place to live
Just subscribed to your channel and I've binged watched your vlogs.....love you guys xxx
Lovely video! Looks like you had a fab day in Bath! That Indian street food looked incredible and I will for sure be getting some next time I am there. I loved your enthusiasm at the end. The UK is an amazing country to explore! I moved here from Canada 9 years ago and watching your videos takes me back to the early days when just walking down the street or going to the supermarket brought a sense of wonder! Looking forward to the next installment. ☺️💗
Oh nice! Thank you so much!
Happy that you enjoyed our city
We did! Thanks
Being lucky enough to grow up just near Bath and then moving away makes me realise how special the place is. I hope you got to Victoria Park and enjoyed a summer picnic with the royal crescent in your background and the view over Bath in front.
Thank you!
We live in Bristol and moving to Devon at the end of the year. We realised we had not seen Bath enough after seeing your video, so have booked an open top bus tour there now for next week, then will eat at one of the eateries you suggested. Thank you.
Bath was a rich peoples play place back in the day, I guess even for Romans….it’s in so many British costume dramas! I feel I already know the place! 🤯🤯🤯
I love your enthusiasm for our small island 👍
Thanks for another great posting. Visited Bath a few times but not been to all the hostelries you covered so you've given me a good reason for a return trip
Awesome tour! Great place to visit! The food so yummy! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful week my friend
Hurrah! Bath lovely. Just down the road from where I am. Happy holidays
Absolutely loved the extra enthusiasm after your gin cocktails..!ol glad you are enjoying our little country, you are right in tel!ing e drone to travel...it will change you forever..in a good way 😊
JC"s kitchen in Bath was my first neeps and tatties. I had it with grilled chicken and it was the BEST!!!
Next time try The Pump Room for afternoon tea, really lovely.
Thank you for the recommendation!
So glad you've enjoyed Bath, I live just outside and always a nice old city to visit
I know you like music so you may (or may not) be interested to know that the song Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel is about Bath. It's just outside and the "city lights" he talks about seeing are the bright lights of Bath.
Love that you went Chai Walla. Anytime I've visited Bath I have to stop there, it's so good x
Great video as always 👌🇬🇧
Thank you!
Another top notch viewing thoroughly enjoyable
Thank you! 😃
My good lady and I went to Bath for a weekend, from Liverpool and fell in love with the place. We intend to return many times!
Oh nice!
So much more to see in Bath though. You moved around the centre without walking up to the Assembly Rooms, The Royal Crescent, The Circus, so many amazing restaurants too. This gives you a flavour though. very nice
Love the ending of the video 😂 the Gin was taking effect ❤️
Great video about a beautiful city 😊
Thanks!
Bath is such a beautiful city.
Love watching what you’ve been up too over here, glad you’ve enjoyed our country 👍
Thank you!
a 'queue' at the door....Tut! :)
Ahhh...you made it to Lynn's buns. Even made it to the basement shop! That place rocks...gotta get the sweet bun with a jar of cinnamon butter. Penhaligon's perfumery and Paxton and Whitfield cheese shop are worth a visit too.
That is the weirdest ploughman’s I’ve ever seen 😂
Lol that's what we keep hearing. 😆
@@TheMagicGeekdom I’m loving the content. How am I meant to fill my days off when your trip is over 😂
aww, you guys are great, so glad everything is going good, love your advice, travel, travel now, don t wait, only problem , its going to be a valuable commodity, and wont be easy to travel.....anyhoo keep going enjoying your adventures...
Thanks so much! 😊 That's a good point.
I visited Bath two weeks ago, the weather was glorious sunshine and very warm. Did the open top bus tours and visited the Royal Crescent and other ‘must see’ places but didn’t get to visit the Roman Baths. Will definitely be going back!
Oh dear shame your experience of a 'ploughmans' wasn't as enjoyable. Traditionally a hunk of fresh buttered bread with a slicec of cheese and some pickle usually is the way to go. As you said, you needed the bread to load it up. The pie looked delicious!
Glad you both enjoyed Bath and its sights and culinary treats! 😃👍
Thank you! We'll need to try again for a proper Ploughmans.
Glad you enjoyed Bath! One of my favourite towns. Shame about the rain but that's England for you! :D
It ended up barely rainy. Overall we had great luck with the weather.
Haha enjoying all your UK vids I like the slightly tipsy note at the end of this one but most of all I like your enthusiasm and willingness to try everything 🙂 i hope I'm as open minded as u guys
Love to know where u stayed. I'm thinking about The Griffon Inn; over a pub! Heard of it? Oh, you are as pretty as Jeremy, and I just subscribed. Thanks very much for this! Joey
Hi guys, another good vlogg it makes me want to go to Bath again, I've been twice before and loved it, but soon you must travel northwards to really see the back bone of England, not the hussle&bustle of false London, check, Chester, York, Harrogate, Yorkshire dales moors, Northumberland.
Spending next weekend there 👌🏻🥂
Nice!
I loved this video! the Buns looked soooo good! Especially the salmon one. One day I will get back to the UK and see things properly :)
They were both excellent. Hope you get to take a proper trip back to the UK. 😃
Bath is an amazing city, love the County of Somerset as well its beautiful! Cheddar Gorge, Dunster etc.
Bath is beautiful but also check surrounding places as well like Bradford on Avon Is a must .or Lacock or castle Combe. So pleased you enjoyed your visit xx
Loved this vlog. I’m from the UK but travelled to Bath for the first time earlier this year and it was magical 🤍
Oh nice! It's truly a wonderful place, isn't it?
Loved this. Haven’t been into Bath for a few years now - although it’s not far away. Perhaps it’s time to visit again. When I first started working in this area, I stayed in B&B and often had my evening meal in Bath - lots of great places to eat and pleasant walks around the centre of Bath afterwards. The architecture is fascinating with streets like Great Pulteney Street designed to look much like a single continuous building on each side.
You should! Sounds like you've had a lovely time in the past.
We use Branston pickle and piccalilli with other food both bring out the flavours of the cheese, they are not for eating on their own they are condiments . I've noticed you try alot of foods on their own that are complimentary to the main thing on your plate .😅 . Really enjoying your travels.
Get yourselves to Warwick, Stratford and Leamington.
I am glad you liked Bath. I have only visited it once 29 years ago. A lovely place.
Truly lovely! Thank you for watching. 😃
Your enthusiasm for everything (apart from branston pickle which I also dislike) is infectious. Having a rotten day with long Covid but that really cheered me up. Thank you. Look forward to seeing where you go next.
Hope you get better soon
Sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling better.
“It always rains in Bath” Jane Austin
Bath is such a lovely city. Been many times
It's certainly beautiful!
Live near Oxford and I've been to Bath a couple of times, I did like it, especially the Roman baths, and the Cresent! But I was a little disappointed to see how much damage was done in the sixties when many of Bath's old buildings were pulled down and replaced by post war monstrosities! The nice parts are really nice, but I'd loved to have visited before the war!
love Bath grow up near here in a town called Corsham wilts hope you had a great time
Oh nice! We did have a great time. Thanks!
OMG! We are going to The UK in September and including Bath in our itinerary. Thank you for your video, it is giving us ideas.
September is probably one of the better months to visit the UK (less likely to rain),hope you enjoy your visit to this fantastic little island,I'm English and I've visited 14 different countries but honestly I wouldn't live anywhere else,the countryside is beautiful,the architecture is gorgeous,the history is immense and the people (well the vast majority)are warm and friendly especially up here in the North.
Stay happy and healthy and enjoy your time here on this small rock✌️
Oh nice! Hope you have a great time! What other places are on your itinerary?
We are flying into London for a few days then getting a car and exploring southwest England including Stonehenge. Then making our way to York, then Scotland including Edinburgh. We are booked on the Jacobite train AKA Hogwarts Express!!! Then flying to Belfast, exploring Northern Ireland before driving down to Dublin for a few days before home. This is a trip of a lifetime for us and so excited. We hope all goes as plan. Good to hear less chance of rain during September, not that it would stop us.
@@bobbierocksbuster5584 we cannot wait. Honestly, without Great Britain there would not be a USA despite the fact we fought two wars against you guys. As a history lover, I am looking forward to seeing things older than a few hundred years.
Are you here yet? If so you have certainly picked a momentous time to visit. The eyes of the entire world are on our country this month. It will take us a while to get used to life without the Queen and with a King, which almost none of us have known. I live in the Cotswolds so I imagine you'll see some of our neck of the woods while you're here. Hope you have a great time.
I live in Bristol which is next to Bath and haven’t visited in years they have made it so set up for tourists we tend to avoid it and parking and road layout made it so unfriendly to visit but glad you enjoyed its beautiful architecture
"Travel Now" that's very good advice 👍 Bath is pretty close to my home but I've only been a hand full of times, ironic isn't it. Glad you enjoyed your visit and I really do think you need another vacation in the UK...... There's so much to explore, we may be a small country but the diversity is truly wonderful as you go from place to place. Come back soon !!
I must admit, that simple advice, "Travel now", really made me think. It's easy to get stuck in a rut, or put things off for another year, and then another, and so on. Before you know it, the years have passed and you start to regret what you've missed. Fantastic advice that everyone should heed if they are able to do so.
Couldn't agree more,I've traveled to 14 different countries but I wouldn't live anywhere else in the entire world, watching videos like this makes one realise what a fantastic island we are fortunate to live on.
Thank you! We hope to visit again soon.
I’m also a huge cheese lover, you really must try black sticks blue cheese, you can only get it from high end shops. It’s fantastic melted on a burger 🍔. Not as stinky as Stilton. Try marks and Spencer’s or Waitrose they sell it. 🏴
Thank you for the suggestion!
