Summary: Historical place to eat, not for the impatient or the one with very high expectations.
I love Bath, and simply because of that I was ready to love Sally Lunn's. After, not such a long wait as we feared - around 15 minutes - we are seated in the ground floor, in a historical setting. I am not sure about Steve, but I am enjoying the over-enthusiasm of the lady who seated us. Our waitress was more reserved, but fast.
It was my idea to come here. After all, it seemed the best place to go as their kitchen museum is believed to originally have been the birthplace of the first Bath bun.
And today, the menu options revolve around this bun - there is the choice of getting a tea or some savoury dish served with this famous bun.
Steve went for: the Sally Lunn 2 course High Tea £11.95 - A round of Sally Lunn Bun topped with finest Scottish Smoked Salmon followed by the world famous Sally Lunn Cream Tea.
I chose a Steak Trencher £12.25 Casseroled slowly in a old English ale gravy.
The tea was excellent, the dishes were quite tasty but we were not able to appreciate what is so special about the Bath buns. As a bread lover, I did enjoy them but with such marketing, one expects something extraordinary.
To tell the truth, their Rich Chocolate cake (£4.35 A light Belgian chocolate and almond cake filled with rich chocolate butter cream, made without wheat with Ivy House clotted cream. ) and
Traditional Somerset apple cake (£3.95 Bramley apples, sultanas and cinnamon in a light sponge with Ivy House clotted cream) are much more satisfying than their savory dishes.
