About

Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House & Museum is one of Bath’s most iconic and atmospheric destinations, housed in the city’s oldest surviving building, dating back to around 1482. Famous as the birthplace of the original Sally Lunn Bun—a light, brioche-style bread brought to Bath by Huguenot refugee Solange Luyon in the late 17th century—the restaurant continues to serve this delicacy with both sweet and savoury toppings. Visitors can enjoy breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, or candlelit dinners in a setting that blends historic charm with warm hospitality. Beneath the restaurant lies a small museum showcasing the original 17th-century kitchen and archaeological finds that reveal the building’s layered past. Located just steps from Bath Abbey, Sally Lunn’s offers a unique culinary and cultural experience that connects guests with the city’s rich heritage.
