Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House & Museum in Bath and North East Somerset

A must go in Bath!It is true, there's a queue but it's also smooth and the experience inside is worth the wait!I really enjoyed my time there and the food was amazing! The Buns are indeed delicious and the the tea comes with almost every dish (but check the menu for more precise info).Very interesting to be able to have a look around the building which is apparently the oldest in Bath AND don't forget to visit the basement before you leave as you can see how originally buns were made and you can buy some to take home! 😃

The food is good and special.The menu introduce what Beth bun is.The price of the food is friendly as well.There is a small museum at the basement.Introduce a lot of cool thing about the history of this restaurant.I will say this is the must-go destination when you visit Beth.

Nice place! If you like historic old buildings this is it. Nice Tearoom and there is a little museum downstairs. The museum was the smallest one I have ever seen. We visited the place in the Saturday and it was busy, so maybe try and find quieter times to come here if you can.

Highly recommend!One of the must do things in Bath. Hyped yes but worth it!Such soft and tasty Buns!A loaded bun is enough for one person.We ordered one savoury and one sweet and shared!N offcourse got packed for home too!It last for 5-6 days and you can freeze it over 1 month n enjoy later!Just buttered or with nutella this is good stuff!Has a small museum too inside and the boxes are so pretty.I actually never threw away the boxes and kept it as a souvenir!Perfect for gifting too if you are returning fromBath!The hot chocolate can be skipped. Long queue but do try it!

Definitely highly recommended and a must do when in bath. The historic feel was great and the atmosphere on point. The food was great and the ‘beetroot’ soup was fantastic. The bun size is enormous but actual very light and fluffy to eat. Overall a place worthy of a visit for sure.Bill & Tej

I have been several times now and have tried different buns. My least favourite, the ham hock and chicken trench, only because of the unexpected surprise or raisins in the mix which I don't enjoy. My most favourite is the rarebit special, this was so scrumptious I could've eaten two. Sweet or savoury, the buns are tasty! The Jane Austen coffee is the best coffee Ive had, costly but worth it. The service is always exceptional and I always feel welcomed. My last visit I went downstairs to the museum. This is a very small room with a shop. The shop had souvenirs and spreads. Handy if you want to take some home. Sally Lunns Buns have a piece of my heart and I definitely recommend if you want a good meal.

Love the Tearooms and it's big Buns, the guy who served us was friendly to. Museum was the smallest museum I've ever come across but the lady we spoke to was very friendly and informative. This place does get full to the brim so maybe try and find quieter times to come here if you can, also there is a sneaky service charge, which one is not warned about, but as we were going to tip anyway, we just paid the service charge and not tip.

This is my 5th time eating here ( not by choice, bringing friends and family as they are the ones curious about the food ).Over the years till the present day I have to be honest I am not sure why people would queue for food I consider mediocre at best.The one thing that has improved is that they went from having only desserts and tea, they now have additional dishes added. Prices probably considered fair now (inflation, prices didn't drop) compared to back in the days where its considered extravagant.I am only giving it 4 stars because its a historical house, and I do hope it survives for the next 20 years so I can continue to be bewildered by why people queue to eat here. And hopefully the wooden flooring on the ceiling can still sustain. Lots of cracks can be seen on the wooden panel on the ceiling.

A delightfully cosy place tucked away in one of the narrow streets in Bath. The ambience is wonderful teaming with history! 7/10 for the food and 6/10 for service which was, on that particular day, a little too slow for our liking. Have to say that the staff were really polite - 10/10 for that!

Eating here today I had the garlic bread like thing for starter, the size of which made my draw drop when it came out. Despite this, the bread was light and fluffy so wasn't difficult to finish, and I still had room for my main.When my main came out I was disappointed to discover that the salmon was on top of this same bread that I'd had as a starter. It would have been nice if the staff had let me know this when ordering. The main was served with boiled vegetables, nothing special but also nothing terrible... It kind of reminded me of home cooking so I quite liked it actually.I wish I could say the same about the poached salmon, which I find to be dry and bland. There was some sauce between the salmon and the bread, but not nearly enough.My wife had the chicken dish for her main, the chicken in which was soft and tender, and the sauce was plentiful.But finally the restaurant really finished on a high note and the dessert is the reason that I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3, we shared the meringue which was topped with raspberry and vanilla ice cream. Delicious, simply delicious. Balanced flavour, not overly sweet, not at all bitter. Great textures in the ice cream and the meringue that complimented eachother perfectly. Can't fault this dish.The staff were nice and friendly, quick to resolve any requests but perhaps not as attentive as they could have been. Any time we needed something such as the desserts menu we had to call someone over and ask for it, it wasn't just offered to us after our mains as you'd expect. This was only a tiny inconvenience though, unless you're of a particularly shy disposition this won't be much of an issue.As for the restaurant itself, we just walked in without a booking but were still seated quickly. From the outside the restaurant has a great look, and that great look extends to the interior decoration in the dining area, at least the one on the first floor where we were sat. In the hallways though it was a little untidy, and the toilets were quite dated, but perhaps that's a symptom of being an active restaurant in an old house. The hand soap in the toilets had clearly been watered down though and this is a pet hate of mine, it's £1 per bottle, how much are you really saving by watering it down?
