This snug, little basement-level museum offers of view of what a kitchen would have looked like a few centuries ago in Bath - and you can treat yourself to a bun (can purchase in the museum) or sit down for a cup of tea room and a bun in the ground-level tea room. Donations accepted (free entry when visited March... More

Very friendly, efficient service but lots of stairs if the place is busy and it's a long way to the top floor. We were quite surpirised to discover that the famous sally Lunn is really just a barm cake with attitude but we had the cream tea option and it was delicious nevertheless.

I liked the setting, in the oldest house in Bath, very cozy place. Also, the service, considering we were served by two spanish practitioneers in a test day, they were really excellent, friendly, the supervisor very attentive observing and checking everything, thus, really nice! The food was very good, great tea, thus, a really great lunch!

Had the Sally Lunn bun for lunch which was really good. I had a creamy chicken dish and my husband had a club sandwich. Good food and service.

Sally Lunn's is a must visit if you are in Bath. As other reviewers have already mentioned, the 'museum' is pretty much non-existent HOWEVER the restaurant has a real old-worldly charm about it and the famous Sally Lunn's buns are delicious! Highly recommend the BLT if you fancy something savoury or the wonderfully indulgent milk jam (i.e., creme de leche... More
