Sally Lunn's Museum
About
Nestled in Bath’s historic city centre, Sally Lunn’s House is the oldest inhabited dwelling in Britain and home to the world‑famous Sally Lunn Bun. Visitors can sample the signature brioche buns at breakfast, lunch, or a full tea service while learning about the early 17th‑century kitchen that once produced them. The museum, opening from 11:00‑16:00, showcases original bakery fixtures, archaeological finds, and a gift shop with exclusive buns. The dining rooms—two on the second floor and a ground‑floor refreshment space—offer a relaxed setting for afternoon tea, set menus and candlelit dinners, with reservations taken for dinner and group events. With opening hours from 10:00 to 21:30 every day (barring holidays), Sally Lunn’s is a quintessential Bath experience for food lovers, history enthusiasts, and guests craving a taste of Regency charm.
