We tried to get in on several previous visits to Bath and it was always full, however this time we went early for breakfast and unfortunately were quite dissapointed. The "buns" are really just really big bread rolls, & you get half - with a choice of "toppings" jam/chocolate spread/flavoured butters and all at about £6.95+, not what any of... More

It´s only worth when having a baverage at Sally Lunn´s and after it, take a look in the museum. It gives us a good glimpse how hard it was to work in a bakery in the past.

We didn't eat here but went straight to the museum which is down some very narrow spiral steps. My tall husband bumped his head several times. It's a small dark room which served as a kitchen back then. Interesting to see and a lovely lady behind the till.

Fantastic Sally Lunn bun with cinnamon butter and excellent coffee + free refill. It was really great to see that the authenticity of the original building was still largely intact with its fireplace and wonky walls and had not been 'prettied' up. We returned for an evening meal which was well cooked, tasted good and served well - and inclusive... More

I'm glad that we had a chance to stop by here before the end of our trip. My boyfriend and I went here for breakfast and we had a Lunn Bun and a specialty coffee each and everything was delicious! Our server was friendly, helpful, and efficient, and overall, we had a great experience. We'll definitely be coming back on... More

A bun at Sally Lunn's was on our 'must do' while in Bath. They claim it is the oldest building in Bath, and even if it isn't, it's a very old building, so yes it's a little poky and the seating is a little tight. However, this all adds to the charm of the place. The tea was perfect, the... More

What a waste of money. We had heard so much about Sally Lunns Bath bun. When we were served with half a toasted bap ( that's all it is) with jam & cream & a cup of tea or coffee for £6.25 we felt really cheated. It was very indigestable. Be warned that they seem to serve the Asians before... More

That's all it takes. And the poor woman sitting manning the till looked so bored. Could be due to lack of sunlight

We ate at Sally Lunn's on the Saturday evening. The dining rooms are small and friendly. Food and wines were reasonably priced and the food and service were very good indeed.
