emberwood - michelin guide award

Emberwood at The Francis Hotel, Bath marks an exciting new chapter in the city’s dining scene. Set within the newly refurbished Francis Hotel, Emberwood combines refined design with exceptional culinary craft.

The restaurant’s atmospheric interiors, featuring rich tones, intimate booths, and a striking central bar, provide a sophisticated backdrop for both everyday dining and special occasions.

At the heart of Emberwood is an open charcoal hearth, where Executive Head Chef David Hazell presents a menu that celebrates the very best of South West produce. Seasonal ingredients are transformed into flame-kissed dishes that showcase both creativity and respect for provenance.

david’s menu is a celebration of locally-grown and sourced produce including beef from grass-fed, ex-dairy cows from Lower Westcombe Farm and Cornish seafood from Wings of St. Mawes. Where is that you may ask? Right on the tip of Cornwall overlooking the English channel so you know the seafood will be the best. He's also added artisan dairy products, like butter from Somerset-based Wyke Farm to the menu.
