Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House, Bath

Stepping into Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House is like traveling back in time. This charming establishment, nestled in the heart of Bath, is not just a restaurant but a living piece of history. As I entered the oldest house in Bath, I was immediately struck by its quaint atmosphere and the aroma of freshly baked buns. The building, dating back to 1482, exudes character with its wonky floors and low ceilings. The star of the show is undoubtedly the famous Sally Lunn bun, a large, light, and slightly sweet bread that's been baked here for centuries. I couldn't resist trying one with clotted cream and jam – it was heavenly! The menu offers a variety of dishes, but the buns take center stage in both sweet and savory variations. The staff, dressed in period costumes, add to the authentic experience. After my meal, I explored the fascinating museum in the cellar, which showcases the original kitchen where Sally Lunn herself supposedly baked. It's a truly unique dining experience that combines delicious food with a rich slice of Bath's history. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a memorable meal, Sally Lunn's is a must-visit when in Bath.
