Gluten intolerance
Try as we have, we have not yet been able to make a Sally Lunn Bun alternative that is made without gluten. The original recipe Bun is amazing – but our attempts without wheat have been less so.
We do however have truly amazing gluten free scones and at least one other gluten free cake, which will be delicious.
Please note: While we follow strict segregation protocols, all our products are homemade in a bakery that handles flour. As a result, we cannot legally describe anything we serve as Gluten Free.
Vegetarians
The Sally Lunn Bun is suitable (and delicious) for vegetarians as are many of the toppings we serve. We also have various dishes in the evening for dinner, including an amazing mushroom pie.
Vegans
Because our famous Bun contains butter and egg, it is not suitable for vegans.
Nuts
We do have strict protocols in place, but our bakery and small kitchens handle nuts.
Other issues

We recognise we have millions of fans across the world who miss our Buns, teas and flavoured butters, but international shipping just isn’t possible – at any price. We would suggest that the next time you have a friend visiting the UK they either visit our Bath museum shop and stock up for you, or if they are at a UK address on a Thursday and Friday an online order could be used. (We send our online orders out every Wednesday using a 1-2 days service).

- Our Sally Lunn Bun is the original Bath Bun (easily one of the top ten English delicacies)

Today you can visit the museum (during the day). We also offer morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and candlelit dinner in our historic surroundings.

Because our Buns are really best served toasted / warm we don’t suggest just opening the box and diving in before you get to a grill or oven. If you do not have access to a grill or an oven, we urge you to join us in one of our three refreshment rooms and order one of the many sweet or savoury options for your Sally Lunn Bun.
If time is tight and you want to get seated and served quickly, consider coming in the morning or after 15:00.
We do not have dedicated parking. However, there are several public parking options nearby. Check out our Visit Us page for more information and links.
