Such a special experience! 🎀🫖✨

I’d just finished reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen so naturally I had to go for afternoon tea at The Pump Room and it was honestly one of my favorite experiences in Bath! The atmosphere, the live music, the wonderful service, the stunning and unique selection of sweet and savory treats that was presented to me on a lovely tiered tray, the “Jane Austen Blend” tea… it was just complete and utter perfection 😌💕.

The Pump Room Bath

We booked the Jane Austen afternoon tea, and during booking, I was able to request a vegan menu. I absolutely loved what I was served! First, I got Lady Whistledown’s English Rose Tea (I loved the nod to Bridgerton!), and shortly after, the rest of the food came out! Of the many things I was served, most notable were the dill and hummus tea sandwich, roasted red pepper and chia seed caviar crostini, vegan scones with jam and vegan clotted cream, and the passion fruit crème brûlée. Not only was the food amazing, but there was also a trio of instrumentalists playing live music for everyone in the ballroom. What a lovely experience that made me feel like I was in a Jane Austen novel (or in Bridgerton for that matter)!

Exquisite experience!

I had the vegan brunch. Made an appointment in advance because I wanted to be sure there were vegan options, though I noticed there were other tables available when I arrived, so you might be lucky wandering in.

The presentation is just amazing - absolutely gorgeous. And the flavours combined were also very delicate and terrific.

It's just the one plate but I had a slice of chocolate cake too, and a white peach Bellini, so I was very happy. Wonderful experience!

(Do try to come looking smart - such a pity to be in such a grand room wearing flip-flops. 😆)

Pros: Very friendly staff, Delicious and instafabulous food, Gorgeous room with so much to look at

Exquisite afternoon tea

Delicious vegetarian or vegan afternoon tea including finger sandwiches, scones and cakes.
The place is beautiful and a group of musicians are playing some classical music. Lovely.

Pros: Ambiance, very original, Delicious bites !

Cons: A bit expensive for what you eat but the music 😍

Very filling afternoon tea!

Was really happy to have a very vegan afternoon tea it is quite pricey, but the live music was great (pianist) and very filling!

Lovely experience!

Was worried I didn’t let them know I was vegan before arriving but was no issue! Didn’t feel like I missed out on anything! Afternoon tea was delicious! Nice staff and lovely atmosphere. Would recommend!
