The Coconut Tree - Bath

In the historic heart of Bath, The Coconut Tree brings a vibrant slice of Sri Lankan curry culture to the city. This lively spot has earned a stellar reputation among locals and visitors alike, holding a perfect Food Hygiene Rating for its fresh, flavour-packed approach to island cooking. The kitchen draws on traditional Sri Lankan techniques, layering spices with a lightness that sets their curries apart from heavier Indian or Bangladeshi styles. It’s the kind of place where you can taste the care in every coconut-infused gravy and tamarind-laced dish.

The menu bursts with character: try the signature hoppers—bowl-shaped, lacy pancakes made from fermented rice flour—perfect for scooping up rich, aromatic curries like the black pork or the pumpkin, peanut and chilli. Their short eats, including spicy mutton rolls and fish cutlets, make for a cracking starter. Every plate feels like a journey through Colombo street food, balanced with fresh sambols and cooling yogurt. Whether you’re ordering for a cosy night in or feeding a crowd, The Coconut Tree delivers punchy, memorable curry that’s unlike anything else in Bath.
