We went to Sally lunns the day after visiting a really fabulous tea room in the near- by Bradford upon Avon, so I think my expectations may have been too high assuming they too would have waitresses in historical costumes and quaint crockery in their unique historical setting. The food was ok.....in fact nice, but too expensive for 1/3 of... More

We didn't really go to the museum bit but had a really great cream tea. The tea was the real kind with actual leaves not just a tea bag to dunk. The scones, cream and strawberry jam was delicious. More

The simple bun with jam and clotted cream could be all that they sell, since they are good enough to keep coming back for more. They do sell other food, but the real draw card is the buns. Don't miss them!! More

The portion sizes and the amount of tea in a pot for one made this excellent value for money. Staff were courteous and the place was packed with happy diners. Wonderful historic decor. definitely one to tick off should you be visiting Bath! More

Always a queue at Sally Lunn's but they keep things moving and let you know how long it might take to seat you. Great food, would recommend the Welsh Rarebit, delicious. More

like so many others, we made the trip to Sally Lunns to have one of her 'famous' buns.....in all honestly it was nothing special....yes it was huge, but no taste.....not cheap either for what we got...it was a cute little house and I got more value out of sitting at the table and finding my right shoulder was higher than...

Called in for afternoon tea. It was a bad start, as we walked into the tea room to be sent away by the waitress because we hadn't been 'sent up', by the host who's meant to meet you at the door. So back down the stairs, wait for a bit, host finally turns up, and takes us back to the... More

A landmark with a museum and a restaurant. I had to try a Sally Lunn Bunn. So I ordered the cinnamon bun with afternoon tea. Personally, I found it really over priced for half a roll with cinnamon butter. My husband ordered lunch, which was tasty, but again, overpriced. Service was unbearably slow. I guess this is to be expected... More
