A short crawl of Julian Rd in Bath taking in the Marlborough Tavern and the St James Wine Vaults, and, if there's time, the Chequers, on Rivers St.

The Marlborough is a gastro pub with a good reputation for food that overlooks Royal Victoria Park and is just around the corner from the Royal Crescent. It usually serves two St Austell cask ales and a real cider.

The Wine Vaults is a popular and friendly traditional pub spread over three floors, 2 of which are available for functions. One, two or sometimes three ales on.
