Afternoon Tea in Bath
Bath is well known for its 'quintessentially English' reputation and there is nothing more English than afternoon tea with a jam and cream scone or mouth watering slice of cake. Tea may be the British national beverage but the habit of taking full afternoon tea belongs to a more leisurely era. However, with the perfectly preserved Georgian terraces
of Bath it is easy to travel back in time and imagine a genteel gathering for tea…
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea alfresco in the beautiful gardens of the Royal Crescent Hotel. Served between 3pm - 5pm daily, guests can enjoy delicious sandwiches, homemade scones with jam and clotted cream, cakes, Bath buns, pastries and a choice of different teas. (Please be advised that booking is essential.)
The Jane Austen Centre Regency Tea Rooms gives visitors the chance to experience a real taste of Georgian life with its established menu. For an alternative to the traditional scone, visit Sally Lunn’s Refreshment House and Museum where you can enjoy an afternoon tea made from a Sally Lunn Bun – one of Bath’s local delicacies.
In the city centre you will find The Pump Room, part of the Roman Bath’s complex and winner of The Tea Guild’s Award of Excellence 2009 where you can sample the popular Bath Bun. Alternatively if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion why not treat yourself to a champagne tea in this, one of Bath’s most elegant locations? Ideal for a luxury treat with family or even hen parties, this Pump Room Celebration Tea costs £33 per person and can be booked by calling 0844 847 5256. Click here to view further details.
