If you have a sweet tooth, you can’t visit Bath without sampling a Sally Lunn bun. According to legend, the recipe was brought to Bath by Sally Lunn, a Huguenot refugee, in 1680 and her brioche-style buns soon became fashionable.
Not to be confused with Sally Lunn’s, the Bath Bun was invented in the eighteenth century by Dr William Oliver and they are still enjoyed as a traditional treat at tearooms. He was also the creator of savoury biscuits, Bath Olivers, which you may have spotted in your local supermarket. Try them with creamy Soft Bath Cheese made from an ancient recipe just outside the city.
From Bath Chaps, a local speciality made from pig cheeks, to Bath’s very own gin, eat and drink your way around the city and discover the flavours that put Bath on the culinary map.
