Jane Austen Inspired Afternoon Tea at Sally Lunn’s

Book for our Jane Austen Inspired Afternoon Tea

Step into the Regency world of Jane Austen with our Jane Austen Inspired Afternoon Tea, served in the elegant top floor of Sally Lunn’s historic house. Inspired by Northanger Abbey, in which the character John Thorpe boasts of eating “as many as ten Sally Lunns at once”, this experience brings that scene vividly to life. Enjoy a leisurely tasting of our famous Sally Lunn Bunns – both savoury and sweet – accompanied by a pot of our own Sally Lunn’s Blend tea. A playful nod to Bath’s most celebrated author, this afternoon tea invites you to savour a true taste of Georgian indulgence in one of the city’s most atmospheric settings.
