I heard a lot about this place so I decided to finally try it. There was a bit of queue outside but it moves very fast. We only waited few minutes. The interior seems quite small but there’s plenty of space inside. We were seated on the second floor. We tried the Sally Lunn’s bun with clotted. Mine was with the cinnamon which was very good. My husband had just the clotted cream and jam. The bun is huge so you can easily share for two. We had one for each and we ate everything fine. It was very good though quite simple. It’s a must do if you’re in Bath.
Visited with my girlfriend as a finale to a 3 day birthday weekend. I had visited Bath previously with my father but he was much to impatient to queue for this in the middle of the day.
Lady & I visited of an early evening so fell within scope of the dinner menu.
I had the Braisee Beef & Mushroom Trencher, she had the savory pie of the day, Lamb.
Both dishes were an enjoyable dinner before our long drive home. Vegetables, meat, bread & pastry were served in a charming dining room. The food itself was like a home cooked comfort food meal. A worthwhile visited for historical importance & local culinary fare in Bath.
Really enjoyable afternoon meal here at Sally Lunn's Bun Shop. The building is super old and has lots of history. **they have gluten and dairy free scones and a gluten free brownie that is delicious** so if you don't eat bread you can still enjoy a great afternoon tea here. The buns are huge and they have an assortment and sweet or savory toppings, soups, scones and desserts. Several tea options, the house blend was really nice. It was getting a little busy and you have to ask for refills if you need anything but otherwise all of ladies working were very nice. I would recommend coming here for a great historical experience in Bath and the food is great.
What a great place with it’s magical atmosphere and matching medieval music. We came here for a dinner. My girlfriend has been here before and ask me to come with her.
She said those buns are must to try with Guinness which has an old style original bottle. >>> Really adds on to the whole experience. 🤩 I had confit duck with peas and sweet onion sauce (I believe). It was very satisfying. And apricot brownie with homemade vanilla ice cream 🍨. 🫠
The service was great and prompt.
Highly recommend to visit Sally Lunn’s when you are in Bath.
One thing it can be improved, and it’s the noise from the washing station where the noise was quite disturbing.
Been here 3 times. It’s a go-to place when someone comes to visit me in England. Tried both their savouries and sweet, my fav is still the lemon curd one. There is always a line outside, so be patient or come on odd hours. Building is very narrow but delicately decorated and maintained. Food was served really quickly and staff was very friendly.
This historic place deserves all the hype. The Sally Lunn buns are a must try when in Bath.
The buns are freshly made, super soft and slightly toasted. Available in both sweet and savoury.
We tried the sweet buns with cinnamon butter and Cornish tea and chocolate butter with clotted cream. Both the buns were scrumptious. The Sally Lunn tea is also a must try over traditional tea option. Contradictory to the reviews, found the service quick and the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House - Bath
Sunday August 5th 2023
What a great place, steeped in history. The food great, the service excellent....atmosphere good. A bit of wait but do it as you won't be disappointed. We had the Steak and Mushroom Trencher and the special of the day Creamy Pork !! SUPERB
Best of all was the service from Spanish Frank, what a great guy....has worked there 33yrs and has served everyone admirably with a smile and a story....thanks for making out day.
Also had a "Milk Jam"......a super dessert !!
We will see you again, thanks.

Highly recommended if you visit Bath. We had a wonderful dinner here and of course tried their famous bun. You can reserve a table for dinner (with limited options) but not for lunch. The queue was quite long when we went there and glad that we had a booking. The food was very good and the staff was very friendly as well. (The only thing that wasn’t great was that the lemonade was not cold enough). Will come back again (but probably not during the weekend/bank holiday)
Yummmm!!!
I had their famous cinnamon butter bun and it was one of the best toasted buns I have eaten.
So soft, perfectly toasted and the cinnamon better was delicious.
A cute cozy tea house with so much history - loved it.
we loved the savoury buns so much that we had to come back the next day to try the sweet buns and loved them as well; it might be touristy but for all the right reasons and totally worth coming here!
A lovely place for an afternoon tea.
We had Ham & Piccalilli, Toasted Brie. A house blend tea and rosé lemonade for drinks. Martin was extremely excellent and helpful in service. The Ham & Piccalilli was tasty and delicious together with the toasted Brie. Loved the atmosphere.
Waiting time to get seated may take longer at certain times but worth the wait.
Historic place in Bath to have tea and unique Sally Lunn's buns. There is a bit of queue and wait at most times. But food is worth the wait. Tea is great, tasty and served in pretty kettle and saucer. Cinnamon buns tasted great 😃 There are good selection of savoury options too.
I would recommend getting here early if you can. The buns were very tasty and moist.
The cinnamon and lemon curd buns were both amazing, feel free to try other ones or share a few amongst each other to be able to try a few different ones.
Highly recommend it you are in Bath to try this place at least once.
As a famous item of Bath, of course you have to try it
We ordered afternoon tea (salmon with dessert) served with a big butter bag
The food is simple but delicious
English milk tea with meals is definitely a holiday relaxation
But be careful to book for half an hour in line
But trust me~ it's worth the wait!
It will definitely leave a good memory for your Bath journey
PS: Basement can buy takeaway
The store also introduces the history of making bread more than a hundred years ago
Rare to come and worth seeing~
We order a full breakfast and a cup of coffee. The toast was amazing, it is very tasty and you can't find it in any other place.
However, the coffee is just average. I think I should order tea instead.

Such a long que and no one is there to guide you because after standimg in the que for 20 min we came to know that it was for dine in not for museum . MUSEUM IS DOWNSTAIRS SO no need to stand in a que just go straight inside and then downstairs !!
Not proper management with the que as there were so many people waiting and space was not enough to accomodate all thoes quickly which was utterly disappointing after waiting to experience the food there 😔🙄
Due to big que i was not able to dine in to enjoy there cream tea !! 😔😔
Went downstairs for museum where they show you making of the bread and a lady who was preparing it. This is all you will see and then the gift shop.
It was disappointing as nothing was tempting enough to buy and not much variety , no magnets or such thing that can remind you of your trip here !!
They got the things in shop which usually everyone have it . But it depends according to your likes and dislikes !
Overall it was nice to see such historic old building still standing high uptill today ... but ques are too big which wastes alot of your time if you have plans to visit other attractions as well.
I hope they hire more staff to accomodate the people more faster and quicker so everyone can enjoy the exprience of eating at this historic eating place !!😇
Very good place for having amazing bun. Chocolate butter and cinnamon butter bun are highly recommended 😋. And an interesting thing is we can see a small museum there too.
Hit it right at opening before the crowd rolled in. My cranberry & brie (added Bacon) was great. Son's Potato Leek soup was good as well, but my wife's cream cheese and salmon bun was just ok. It's a cute place, but the # of people and the drizzly rain pushing them into the hallway did detract a little from the entirety of it. Will hit it again next time.
