About

The Regency Tea Rooms sit on the second floor of the Jane Austen Centre in Bath, offering an immersive Regency‑era experience where guests can savour a refined afternoon tea in a meticulously recreated setting. Patrons are invited to indulge in classic finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Dorset clotted cream and seasonal preserves, and an array of fine teas selected for their heritage and flavour. The menu is thoughtfully tiered, from the traditional "Mr. Darcy's Afternoon Tea" priced at £29.50 per person, to the upscale sparkling and champagne options, and light Regency delights such as fruit‑scones and delightful cakes—ensuring there is something for every palate and budget. With its welcoming staff, award‑winning tea guild status, and a serene ambience, the tea rooms offer a peaceful retreat for both locals and visitors seeking a taste of Regency England.
