Overview

The Hobgoblin Public House is a pub business in Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset, England. The available evidence links the name to the Black Fox Bath website, which presents an 18th-century inn in central Bath offering rooms, craft beer, Bath Gin, local produce, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pub is therefore best understood as a licensed hospitality venue rather than a consumer packaged brand. Its identity is local and site-specific: a place to eat, drink and stay in Bath, with an emphasis on regional Somerset produce and drinks. The evidence does not establish founding dates, ownership structure, corporate parentage or a wider chain. The name 'The Hobgoblin Public House' appears as the subject identity, while the official website and Wikidata entry use 'The Black Fox'. This dossier therefore treats the subject as a pub/hospitality business in Bath, with the Black Fox name as the trading identity evidenced online. Further verification would be needed to confirm whether The Hobgoblin is a former name, an alternative trading name, or a separate establishment at the same address.

History

The evidence available for The Hobgoblin Public House is limited and primarily identifies a pub in Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset, England. The official website associated with the subject is that of The Black Fox, described as an 18th-century inn located in the beating heart of Bath, with 21st-century luxuries. That site presents the venue as open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with individually designed en-suite rooms, local craft beers, Bath Gin, local produce from Bath and Somerset, and speciality tea and coffee. The address given is 47 St James Parade, Bath BA1 1UQ, with opening hours of 8am to 11pm every day and food served 8am to 9pm every day, except Sunday when food is served from 4pm. Wikidata records The Black Fox as a pub in Bath and North East Somerset. The name The Hobgoblin Public House does not appear in the supplied evidence beyond the subject identity itself, so its precise relationship to The Black Fox cannot be confirmed from these sources. It may be an alternative or former trading name, or a separate pub at the same or a nearby location. No founding year, founder, owner, parent company or corporate history is established by the evidence. The history of the business should therefore be treated as unverified beyond its current operation as a Bath pub and inn.
