Emberwood is a destination restaurant at the heart of Francis Hotel Bath, rooted in Bath and inspired by its people. The restaurant welcomes both hotel guests discovering the city and locals who return time and again, drawn by a shared appreciation for warm hospitality and thoughtful food.

At Emberwood, we believe great hospitality is built on meaningful connections. Connections between our teams, our guests, and the trusted partners and suppliers who support us every day. These relationships shape how we work together, how we care for others, and how we create experiences that feel genuine, generous, and memorable.

Our approach is centred on pride in the everyday. From the first welcome to the final farewell, excellence is evident in the details, with care and consideration for every plate, every service, and every interaction.

Since opening, Emberwood has attracted attention from leading voices in food and hospitality. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide 2025 and has been reviewed and featured by respected critics, including William Sitwell and Tom Parker Bowles. Emberwood has also welcomed visits from figures such as Marco Pierre White, reflecting the growing confidence in its offer.

Emberwood is part of Sir Richard Sutton Ltd, a family-owned hospitality business that takes a long-term view, investing in quality and care while building something that lasts. We aim to create environments where teams feel supported, trusted, and proud of the experience they create together.
