I visited as my first stop off after my arrival in Bath. It was fairly late in the day, around 3:30pm, and I wasn’t expecting any buns to be left. On entry, it wasn’t clear which way to go; a lady on the phone pointed me in the direction of the museum. I noticed a sign saying the buns had sold out, more ready at 10am the next day. I carried on down, to what I expected to be the museum. I was greeted by a lady who again told me the buns were all gone. I expected a little more from the museum, and I actually expected to be charged for the entry. I was only in Bath for a short while, so didn’t have time to return early the next morning.

Absolutely loved the buns here, great spread of choices and had this delicious jam and chocolate bun. Also tried the savoury salted beef and horseradish bun too, also delicious. Great tea to go alongside it. It is a small place so you may have to queue for a bit to get in as it gets very popular from many visiting tourists.

I believe that Bath Town has had it’s share of culinary artists. From bakers to chocolatiers you have them all. One such talented person was a Huguenot refugee baker called Solange Luyon. She was the creator of the famous bath buns. These buns can be eaten with sweet or savory dressings or with just butter. They used to be baked in Faggot ovens and sold in baskets during those days. This building in itself is unique as it is one of the oldest houses of the city built in 1482. Solange lived here in 1680. Her name got changed to Sally Lunn because very few people in Bath knew French so they could not pronounce Solange Luyon. I loved both the buns and the story behind them.

Was recommended to visit here by a friend. So glad we did. It’s the cutest little place full of character and history . Staff were very friendly. Buns were incredible ! So yummy and so many options! Definitely worth a visit when in Bath.
