Sally Lunn's in Bath is a historic eating house and museum that is home to the world-famous Sally Lunn Bun. The building is one of the oldest in Bath, dating back to the 15th century, and is said to have been the home of Sally Lunn herself, a Huguenot refugee who came to Bath in 1680. Sally Lunn's is now owned by The Overton family.

Sally Lunn was a baker, and she is credited with creating the Sally Lunn bun, a large, ring-shaped bun that is slightly sweet and has a slightly cakey texture. The buns are still baked today using the original recipe, and they are served at Sally Lunn's with a variety of sweet and savory fillings.

Disabled access: Sally Lunn’s is an old building and was not designed for disabled visitors. However, works undertaken in 1998 have enabled Sally Lunn's to ensure some wheelchair access to the ground floor refreshment room. At busy times it is suggested that you call in advance and anything that can be done to facilitate a smooth and simple visit will be done. The toilets remain at first floor level and there sadly there is nothing that can be done to improve this. The kitchen museum is in the cellar down a dozen or so stone steps.
