About

Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House & Museum is Bath’s oldest food‑hall, a living monument to Georgian hospitality that has welcomed guests since 1680. Nestled in a 17th‑century townhouse on North Parade Passage, the venue keeps its original baking traditions alive with the world‑famous Sally Lunn Bun – a brioche‑style pastry that has been served by hand for more than 300 years. The restaurant’s extensive daytime menu delivers classic British fare from 10:00 to 18:00, followed by a celebrated candlelit dinner from 18:00 to 21:30, and a uniquely Regency‑styled Jane Austen‑Inspired Afternoon Tea at 15:30 for just £28.50 per person. Between meals, visitors can explore the kitchen museum below, where the original faggot oven, Roman foundations and archaeological dig site are on display, free of charge. With a charming garden terrace and historic dining rooms, Sally Lunn’s offers a culturally rich, family‑friendly experience that blends culinary delight with living history.
