Hauser and Wirth Couple Opening New Restaurant in Soho | Eater NY
"First opened in 2014 in Somerset, England, Roth Bar was the Wirths' initial hospitality project and has since grown into roughly a dozen Artfarm hospitality locations worldwide, which include a hotel with a restaurant, a seafood spot, and a farm stay; these projects operate independently of the galleries." - Emma Orlow
"The converted outbuildings of a working farm now house this charming restaurant, along with the ‘Hauser and Wirth’ art gallery, which hosts some striking exhibitions. Flavour-packed modern British dishes showcase beef, pork and lamb reared on the farm and aged in their salting room." - Michelin Inspector
Unique environment for food/drinks. The atmosphere is a little hectic as people are frequently passing through and it's a little unclear whether you receive table service or need to order at the bar.
The food was okay, but not great and my drink arrived in a cup with a lipstick stain. This was fixed, but overall didn't give a great impression.

I go many places, but Roth Bar in Bruton… this one special. Big, lively, full of energy. The food, strong and good — steak cooked perfect, wine rich, atmosphere like celebration. Service friendly, not fake, and art everywhere makes it feel different, like gallery and restaurant together.
For me, it is worth the drive. I feel welcome every time.

Atmosphere was pretty pleasant but dreadful service. 4 staff behind the bar. Asked at bar to find a seat and someone will be over. 10 minutes later with no service go to the bar and order .. told to sit back down and they’ll bring drinks over. Took a further 5 min to get x2 half pints. Same thing happened again with others in the group when they arrived. They had to go to the bar in the end to order, charged service for drinks (12.5%) and took 15 min for 2 beers and 2 cocktails. Not overwhelmingly busy.
Overall felt like all the gear and no idea. Shame, as lovely setting, building, art gallery and bar. Staff needs a ton of improvement.

The high expectations due to the hype were met with a pleasant experience. The staff was excellent, and the food, while decent, offered a variety of great choices. Regrettably, couldn't explore the art this time, but looking forward to it next visit. Definitely considering a return.

Great brunch experience at the Roth bar and grill. The portion sizes are not great, so ended up ordering both the muesli and a plate of eggs and tomatoes (which then gets bit pricey as ended up spending about £25+
Each, that’s before coffee :) )
Pros:
- enjoy the walk behind the Roth, there is a beautifully laid garden
- cross the road and there is a walk way to
Bruton. Lovely little village, try incorporating as a walk. As you approach the train station to can get into the woods and open fields.
Note:
They closed the kitchen at 8:30pm so you need to be early or call and book in advance

We came for dinner, 2 adults 2 kids. Such a beautiful place and warm welcome. If you are walking from Bruton there is a dedicated footpath. Otherwise plenty of parking. We ate under the outdoor marquee as it was a lovely bright evening. Food was so delicious with a really sophisticated menu. Kids well catered for albeit I'd say for veggie kids you may need to go off piste. I ate excellently with the whipped goats curd and beetroot, then polenta. Lovely staff and quick service. Can't recommend more highly.

Fantastic Sunday roast boasting (exceptionally) local and high quality ingredients, such as perfectly cooked carrots, beautiful new potatoes, and beef that was lovely and pink with a great flavour and tenderness. Would highly recommend the roast.
Perfect way to end our visit to the museum, and Bruton, sitting outdoors in their sun trap. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Bruton, especially those who want to go to the museum and garden.

Fabulous place. The surrounding farm provides all of the meat that is aged and butchered on site. They have a cocktail bar and large outdoor pavilion. Service is great. The food is excellent. My Sirloin was as good as any steak I’ve had, priced at £30. Able to cater for veggie and GF. It’s a beautiful spot with gardens to enjoy with your drink and is part of the Art gallery which is also worth a look in.
