The Regency Tea Rooms in Bath and North East Somerset

We had a lovely afternoon tea and relaxing time recommend going .

Bit of a wait even tho we booked a time slot. All tasted very good but scones were a little small. Expensive but you are paying for the location which my wife loved

We came as families to try Tea Time. And we are very happy to have come here. Warm welcome, wide choice of tea and generous accompaniment. We took 3 adult and 2 child menus; At the end we were full. I recommend if you want to discover this experience, personally I was delighted (and yet I don't like tea).

Excellent choice of tea although the waiter wasn't sure which was which - we worked it out by tasting. Scones were lovely although could have given us a bit more jam. All.in all an enjoyable time.

Excellent choice for afternoon tea. Lovely setting, friendly staff, and delicious food. You’ll want to make a reservation since it fills up quickly.

A busy little place, all geared up for afternoon tea. Waitstaff, in Regency dress, were very friendly and helpful. I'd made a mistake in our group's dietary requirements, and they bent over backwards to make sure we were accommodated. There was a little delay in being served the food, but that was down to me and my mistake, not the fault of the tea rooms at all. A nice afternoon tea with all the trimmings and a wide choice of teas. The crockery and china were cute, and the decor has a fantastic portrait of the Colin Firth Mr Darcy - I was opposite him at the tea table.

Great setting for Jane Austin fans. Not super into the tea though. Great clotted cream and good scones. Cakes and sandwiches are just ok.

The person who waited on us was very surly and seemed unbothered. An absolute lovely girl in a pink dress brought our tea and she was so charming with a lovely warm nature. We ordered the Dashwood afternoon tea and it was not very generous on the sandwiches and scones. We were not sure if could ask for more but apparently we could. We also went to the museum afterwards and really enjoyed it, Mr Wickham was fabulous. Very articulate and informative.

The cakes were gritty. I loved the scones and the Jane Austen Tea.

The tea and food is good and tasty, small sandwiches and pastries, as well as macarons and the famous scones with clotted cream and jam to choose from. The waitresses dressed in period clothes are very friendly but the service is slow. If you choose it for the atmosphere... The truth is that it disappoints, you are in a room like in a room from the book "Pride and Prejudice". It's expensive, although afternoon tea is expensive everywhere. I would not repeat nor recommend it. There are hotels or restaurants with a more British atmosphere.

Plastic flowers on the table, milky flat white (no coffee flavour, tea cake dry. Service poor. I’m so sorry but I have to say it how it is - def not value and def no ambience. There were 4 of us girls (in our 60’s) and were so looking forward to it, our two friends had the full afternoon tea and the tea was the milkiest most awful tea despite using their ‘timer’ for tea leaves ! The sandwiches were not great. Seriously - it was a huge disappointment

I couldn't come to Bath without having afternoon tea with Mr Darcy. It was done this afternoon, an experience that I recommend whether you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice or not. Be careful, it's very plentiful, the products are very good and fresh. Earl Gray tea is incredibly fragrant, and of course lactose-free option possible.

After having visited the Royal Crescent and Georgian Garden we popped in at the Regency Tea Room located in the Jane Austen Centre on Gay Street. We had homemade scones and tea, both of which were delicious. Friendly and helpful staff made our visit most enjoyable.

If you're a fan of Jane Austen, or like the more quanter way of enjoying tea, this is the place for you. As afternoon teas go, the food was good but could have been better. The cakes and scones were wonderful, the sandwiches were a little disappointing (Tuna and Sweetcorn for the fish one was a little strange, but the cheese and chutney was delicious!) But you come here for the history and the ambience, with very friendly and attentive staff, gentle music and a peaceful setting. Well worth a visit, but make sure to book!

I loved my Afternoon tea with Mr. Darcy. There was lots to eat, everything was delicious and service was friendly and fast.

A great experience and tea to die for!

Friendly staff but the Scones were dry, tea was good, atmosphere was very quiet, cold and old.

Got afternoon tea with Mr Darcey.. well it is not worth paying £26.... For that money can find amazing experience in other places. The only positive thing - it was nicely decorated. The tea room is small. I took their special tea blend, which was really nice, however the waitress could not explain which teas are mixed in it. She did not ask anyone else either. There were around 3-4 people serving that small tea room. As other comments mentioned, the food is mediocre and if this is the first afternoon tea to try, better to go elsewhere. I personally feel my money's are wasted. I would rather just get tea and desert a la carte. However I would have any desert recommendations, from what tried, bought macaroon was the best.

A very sweet little tea room above the Jane Austen Centre. The Victoria sponge was delicious and the setting was lovely. Staff are dressed in Regency dresses and the music in the background added to the ambience. A very lovely little place for tea and cake, but it's quite a few stairs to get up to!

It’s quaint and very fitting for the Jane Austen museum that it’s in but, for the price you pay the portions are small. 2 cream teas ordered, tea didn’t make 2 cups per person and scones were very small considering how much you pay. Disappointing to say the least.

Style over substance. Took a very long time to take our order. When the scones came they were very dry and unfortunately not freshly baked. Disappointing.

Pleasant staff , Sandwich nice and fresh good variety. Felt the staff could have monitored the people wandering around the rea room checking it out like seagulls,with no intention of taking a seat, and guests swapping food not a good practice.

My husband and I enjoyed our Mr. Darcy tea, the first of a few we had while in England for two weeks. The staff was pleasant and the food was good. Some tea items were a bit dirty, more stained than anything. I wasn't expecting that. It was still an enjoyable experience.

I thought tea in Bath at the Jane Austen Tea room may be a bit kitschy but fun anyways…it was mediocre at best. The clotted cream the only winner. It was my friend’s first tea experience and I felt I had to apologize to her for our choice. Sandwiches uninspired and basic. Decor the same.

Fantastic Tea Rooms .Excellent service Goid food ,value for money

Gemütlicher Raum, nette Bedienung. Der Afternoon-Tea ist nichts für Leute mit kleinem Magen… Die Sandwiches und Scones sind lecker, die Kuchen noch besser. Das Stück Schokoladenkuchen war extrem gut. Es gibt Tee, soviel man verträgt. Der Spaß ist nicht billig, aber sein Geld wirklich wert.

What a wonderful place! They even have gluten free and vegan patisserie and sandwiches. Staff is costumed and very friendly. The museum - which is situated a floor below, with storey telling actors and the possibility to take a picture in a historical Jane Austin dress - was a wonderful experience. A must for all the Jane Austin or costume lovers!

As a vegan, I can highly recommend the tea rooms. Delicious sandwiches and the best vegan Victoria sponge I've ever had! Heads up - if you want a vegan scone you will need to book in advance.

Very friendly and efficient staff. Food was good but the room a bit over hyped for what it was. Would try elsewhere in future

What a lovely way to spend a morning, in the company of Mr Darcy (on the wall) drinking beautiful tea and eating hot buttered tea cakes, as the rain hits the window. The staff are part of the whole experience, dressed in costumes of Jane Austen’s era.

I hate complaining, and would rather give glowing reviewsm however this one cannot be passed off. We ordered the Darcy afternoon tea with Prosecco. We were looking forward to this all weekend.  However when presented with the tea stand, it was clear whatever the idea was behind it was all wrong. I have had a fair few of Afternoon teas and to be honest having left - it just felt like a robbery or scam. The description was a decadent experience with exquisite cakes and delightful sandwiches. I am loathed to detail what we got here : The selection of sandwich was woeful - for the price - cheddar and relish ok, egg mayo fine but the bread and filling were mean, the ham was passable but expected some flavour and the tuna mayo should never have been on there - it was tasteless ( tasted more of tin) and was awful - truly awful. No sandwich stood out as reasonable let alone decadent. An American family sitting next to us also said it was really bad. You could have put a smoked salmon or cucumber sandwich would have made sense - see The Ivy in Bath at a similar price but their selection is another world compared - I don’t see how this selection is put together and considered decent fare. The scones / cream / jam were ok The tea was good - but we were not made aware we could have had another top up in fact we weren’t checked on or asked past the original serving. I strugle to explain the cakes, the macaron was ok - not my choice of flavour but executed well. But why were we given vegan choc cake and vegan Victoria sponge - we weren’t told but eating it we knew they were odd - texture and flavour all nothingy - when we overheard the other table saying it was vegan it kind of made sense - but why force us to have vegan ? It’s an option fine- but I expected a selection of traditional exquisite cakes and they were more along the lines of betty Crocker mix bakes… I just don’t get it - the whole experience. If we were told the selection was vegan before ordering we would never have proceeded with ordering it - I dont think it's unreasonable to expect traditional cakes unless otherwise requested. It was a treat for our wedding anniversary that we had long been awaiting and was so bad that we left feeling angry and robbed.  The best bit was the tea and the prosecco. Having complained - I recieved an apology and an a hope that we might come back and try again... I hoped for something more in reply so I dont see how I could return, and I would recommend anyone to try any other tea room in Bath - there are many and you will be guaranteed a better experience . Come for the tour - but skip the afternoon tea - and avoid a world of disappointment.

I really enjoyed my cream tea "Lady Catherine's Tea" with jam, cream and warm scones and a pot of tea for one. The staff were very polite and friendly indeed. I will visit again next time I am in Bath.

Fantastic Afternoon Tea in very special surroundings, staff lovely and efficient. Great value highly recommend, the best in Bath in our opinion! Thank you All x

I had Prosecco afternoon tea following a tour. It was excellent - delicious, plentiful and very reasonable. Staff were friendly, polite and efficient. Highly recommend!

Lovely afternoon tea and the people who work there are friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit when you're in Bath.

Very poor decoration, we expected much more. Plastic flowers, paper tablecloth … It also could be cleaner …

Great place for tea if you're visiting Bath. We went after visiting the Jane Austen Center, which really wasn't worth it. I ordered the Lady Catherine’s Proper Cream Tea with a slice of Victorian sponge cake. Pro tip: make a reservation in advance.

Très décevant : aucun joli décor ( fleurs plastique sur la table, sol plastifié, vaisselle en faïence ébrechée, nappe en papier sale); très mauvais gâteaux pas frais, le tout très cher. N'y allez surtout pas.

I have never had such diabolical service. If I could choose a zero star review I would. We attended the tea rooms with my mother in law for a special birthday. When we arrived we were seated to the left as you walk in. Not even in the tea room per se and just outside of it. Right next to the kitchen and in front of the check in desk. On entrance the room had a charity shop aroma which was not pleasant. It was a hot day and the staff were all in these outfits which is fine but they were all complaining about the heat. We waited 1.5 hours to receive our afternoon tea. We were offered one drink in this time. I had a raspberry lemonade. It wasn't from the fridge nor did the staff have any ice. It was not refreshing. The tray they served the drinks on was full of grime and dirt too. Because of where we were sat we could hear all the staff in the kitchen swearing and getting moody with each other. One of the girls went into the kitchen and said everyone is looking at me and the other girl says angrily " stop looking at us". How rude. What else are we supposed to do. We were told 45 minutes in that there was going to be a delay due to them having to prepare gluten free sandwiches for another table. One of the staff members burnt some scones (which are not made fresh, just shop bought) and the supervisor just said sprinkle some more icing sugar on them so they can't see. (this is all happening behind us because of where we were sat. The servers did this in front of us and didn't even try to hide the fact that they were doing this. The scones were not black but definitely over done and should not have been served. I asked for a flat white with my Mr Darcy Afternoon Tea. I could hear the staff in the kitchen asking how do i make a flat white. They were swearing, laughing, not working at all. When we finally get our cream tea, one tuna sandwich had one bit of sweetcorn in and another two the tiniest amount of filling. We asked for these to be remade. The bread was not the nicest. We were told, we had to guess the fillings. The scones were presented the other side of the sandwiches and had salad underneath - yuck. Thank god we were not given the burnt scones but our scones were not the nicest, rock hard, crunchy even. We were given 3 pots of jam and one pot of cream. (between 4) When i asked for another cream the server took it from a different table and gave it to us. When challenged she said she didn't, albeit I watched her to do this. The supervisor was in the kitchen saying if they don't ask for a discount don't give them any. When guests were coming to check in they were queuing around our table which was off putting. Overall unorganised chaos and poor customer service. If we hadn't of pre paid I would have been asking for a discount.

The service was very slow only had about 20mins To have tea and cake I arrived early but had to wait for my table to become available. . I could of gone somewhere else with better service

We did the Tea with Mr. Darcy in the Regency Tea Room when we visited the Jane Austen Centre. It is a small tea room so I would suggest making reservations. The wait staff are dressed up as characters from Jane Austen's novels and the room is decorated with pictures of Jane Austen's characters. The food was delicious! My college aged daughter went with me and she loved it just as much as I did! She is a vegetarian so her sandwiches were all vegetarian. The tea includes tea of course as well as scones, clotted cream, desserts, and the finger sandwiches. Everything was delicious!

I had the afternoon tea with Mr. Darcy set. It was good. A lot of food. I also liked the tea but wish the food comes out a little faster or brew the tea a bit later to avoid the weird after taste for brewing the tea leaves for a long time

Excellent experience for both myself and my mom! The hot chocolate was fantastic and they were very careful in curating my gluten free options. I wish I could come back more often!

Had the veggie and vegan afternoon tea, booked two or three weeks in advance and confirmed at the door that we were veggie but still got served meat and were told it was our fault for not making it clear enough. Staff were really rude and dismissive, a member of our party really struggled with the heat and they made her quite uncomfortable. We waited at least fifty minutes from arriving before receiving any food despite having booked our time slot so far in advance. The food was quite nice but I would not recommend going back there. We had gone for a special occasion (my friends hen do) and they shoved us in a tiny corner, mostly ignored us, then as we left one of them said “happy birthday or whatever” to us. A bit of a let down.

A small but quaint tea room located on the top floor of the Jane Austen Center. Do réservé ahead to ensure a table. Nice variety of tea options but the tea selection is what really made this so nice.

Lovely afternoon tea! The scones were perfect with jam and clotted cream. The texture was good. And the tea was also good too. Like the comfortable atmosphere for the afternoon.

Booked in for a tea with Mr. Darcy for two, I found it excellent value for money considering how expensive other afternoon tea options were in Bath! The food was delicious and came out warm and the staff were very attentive. The tea blends were...

Lovely place and delicious afternoon tea :)

I took my friend here yesterday for her birthday treat and we had a wonderful time. After a very slight confusion about cross contamination the staff could not have been more helpful about providing a delicious afternoon tea for my friend (vegetarian) and me (vegetarian...

My wife and I ordered Tea with Mr. Darcy and found the treats to be average at best. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were not bad, but I've also had better at other places. I would say the scones were the best out of the three. For tea, we had Assam and Spicy Black Chai. I liked both, but enjoyed the Assam just a little bit more. The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive. I would skip this unless you are a huge Jane Austen fan.

Lovely afternoon tea in a nice setting. Great scones, cakes and sandwiches, and plenty of it. Staff in Jane Austin costumes made this a really cool experience.

Yum! Delicious afternoon tea, dairy free selection provided was amazing! Service was fantastic, staff in costume was brilliant and view of the park was lovely. Would recommend a visit!

We had a really enjoyable relaxed cream tea - lovely warm scones. Attentive and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend this

Enjoyed every moment. Had the Afternoon Tea with Mr. Darcy and it was awesome. Customer Service was great and atmosphere was quite fancy without being pretentious. The tea was delicious and the the scones were lovely and warm. Loved all the sandwiches. The teacakes weren't my taste, but they didn't bring down the meal. Lovely overall.

Fantastic afternoon tea with wonderful staff! I went with a group of 8 friends for one of their 30th birthdays on Friday 1st of April 2022. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff on duty that we interacted with were James and Tabby. They were absolutely brilliant and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Couldn't thank them enough for the experience we had! The food was amazing too and we all enjoyed the different teas we had! I can personally recommend the spicy black chai!

A bit of what you fancy. Join Mr Darcy and Co. for a beautiful afternoon tea, with a choice of teas, a wonderful selection of finger sandwiches, cakes and of course the mandatory scones with cream and strawberry jam. Delightful and very reasonably priced in a truly ambient room at the Jane Austen Centre.

L'afternoon tea (pour ma part "thé avec Mr Darcy) était très bon, les scones étaient délicieux tout comme les autres...

Great service, beautiful view and delicious teas and snacks. Thoroughly enjoyed this calm time to myself.

I had scones before, pre-vegan, but these vegan scones are something else. The texture was perfect, combined with the buttery vegan cream, it was heavenly. We had Lady Catherine's Proper Cream Tea which includes unlimited tea or coffee. Love that all their menu can be vegan upon request. The interior of this famous Regency Tea Room in took us back to 18th century, will all the servers dressed up as characters from Jane Austen’s novels. Would love to come back to have their High Tea with Mr Darcy!

Contrary to some reports of tiny portions I think we picked well with an enormous slab of Mrs Bennett's cake (which this day was Victoria Sponge) and lovely scones, plus very nice loose lead tea, complete with egg timer for that perfect cup. Refreshing in...

The afternoon tea is worth it . The staff are very attentive and the scones were perfection. Cannot recommend enough !

We went for the Tea with Mr Darcy. It was a little over-priced for what you get (4 sandwich fingers, 2 scones, 3 petits fours and tea), but was nice none-the-less. We had just visited the Jane Austen museum, so this was handily placed just...

Lovely place, with fresh table cloths, classic tea services, wonderful scones with jam and cream, freshly brewed, high quality tea (a large selection available), all served with a smile in period costume. A wonderful conclusion to a visit to th Jane Austen museum.

I visited with my mum, son and daughter in law. We had the tea with Mr Darcy, very disappointing for the price. We were given 2 small finger sandwiches each that were not to everyone’s taste, 1 small scone and instead of the cream cake...

It’s a lovely cafe and we were warmly welcomed and looked after but the quality wasn’t there especially at the prices. The tea was weak and the cake was dry (£4.90 a slice !). Enjoyed the experience but wouldn’t return.

What a gorgeous little tearoom! So special to have our own room which was beautifully decorated - even a cake made from nappies! The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Amelia was on hand to take as many photos as we needed! The sandwiches, scones...

Excellent service with a peaceful atmosphere. My partner and I really enjoyed the Tea with Mr Darcy- the warm scones with thick, clotted cream were a particular highlight.

The museum involved a great talk and tour and provided plenty of information. Staff were incredibly enthusiastic and match the characters of Jane Austen's novels. The shop is lovely. My favourite was the afternoon tea. Staff made us feel very welcome, the cakes, sandwiches, scones, tea and prosecco were all delicious. The room was lovely and inviting. Really hope to do this again, fantastic day out 😊

Lovely afternoon tea. Nice selection of cakes and sandwiches. Quite quiet which was nice.

Excellent service and sumptuous tea. A lovely afternoon, the ambience was perfect. Thank you very much

Lovely afternoon tea. Perfect ambience, china pots, cake stands and sense of the genteel you would expect from a Regency tea room Staff excellent.

Very good service friendly staff

Fine china, homemade cakes and sandwiches and delicious loose leaf tea blends in a historic setting.

Lovely afternoon tea, pleasant interior and exceptional service. Worth every penny and highly recommended! Don’t forget to visit the museum as well.

Absolutely amazing. We were looking for somewhere to take my fussy nan for afternoon tea. We were able to give the lady running the tearoom, my nans exact wishes on what she would like to eat. When we got there, the staff were friendly and...

Great place for the Jane Austen experience accompanied with afternoon tea. Scones were baked to perfection, with the jam and clotted cream being one of the best I’ve ever tasted! Staff were very friendly and hospitable as well, a must-visit when in Bath :)

A fun experience! I remember this place as one of my fave memories of visiting Bath. I had the Jane Austen blend. I hope to go back soon!

Food and service was great however tearoom was quite dirty. Floor and walls had splash marks on them and a chair at the table opposite had dried on liquid down the side.

Reasonably priced , food was very well presented and tasted good . Had Mr Darcys Tea and although I loved the sandwiches , egg, salmon and cucumber , my fellow traveller didn’t like the options . It would have been nice to substitute with ham...

Firstly staff lovely and attentive, nice sandwiches and cakes. But Scones small and chewy. I booked through the Jane Austin Center webpage. This tea was booked for my birthday and was brought with the wording tea with Mr Darcy. However there was no Mr Darcy....

Set in the Jane Austen centre, I don't think you could be more quintessentially English if you tried

Staff were nice and food was quite tasty but it was really overpriced. The ‘Tea with Mr Darcy’ cost £20 and you got 3 finger sandwiches, a single scone and 3 tiny cakes. Seriously disappointed and not good value for money.

What a rip off afternoon tea for two £ 36.00 in total which consists of 3 finger sandwiches each 2 small scones tiny bit or jam and clotted cream which would barely cover the scones 2 mini bakewells each 1 mini vanilla cupcake between us...

Our experience pretty much reflects other reviews: the staff were attentive but the food was meagre, basic and expensive. We were stunned when our afternoon tea for two was set down. There were three finger sandwiches each, so six in total. Two humous, two cucumber...

My friend I came in for some after noon tea on New Year’s Eve. The whole experience was perfect. The service was wonderfully welcoming, by the young lady who served us in the long blue dress. The tea succeeded expectation. My friend and I would...

Good service and pleasant atmosphere. However, afternoon tea with Mr Darcy was poor value for money at almost £20 per head. 3 finger sandwiches, one scone with jam and cream, 3 tiny muffins and a pot of tea.

I really like the idea of this place and I’m sure many literature enthusiasts would of found it glorious. I enjoyed the very moment of going in to see a little role play to be then directed to the museum and cafe. The staff were friendly, and I think it’s a must experience place in Bath. Overall I was pleased, I just think they should have more variety and organise more room in the Tea Room.

Very nice! Tea with Mr. Darcy was lovely!

No tenía reserva pero conseguí un lugarcito junto a a la entrada. Pedí el Savoury Tea que tenía un toque...

Visited here recently as a group, booked well in advance and as part of our long weekend away in this fabulous City. Lovely friendly stsaff, but sevice very slow, 2 cups of tea down before the cake/sandwiches arrived. Tea was good, but 2 empty sugar...

I love High Teas and I wasn't disappoint at the Regency Tea Rooms. The staff were great and explained each item for us. The food selection was good. At first I thought it a bit pricey but the amount of food you get it was...

Worse afternoon tea! I took my mum for her first afternoon tea and what a disappointment! The sandwiches were just really poor, the scone and cakes weren’t the best, I am not sure it was fresh. The only good thing was the tea which was...

It could have been so much better! A small piece of cake £4.95 - never did get the raspberry coulis as mentioned in the big build up description on the menu, the tea and scones were fine - but the service (or lack of it)!!!! Our tea was served fairly quickly but as for the cake and scones - we waited and waited and waited..... as did everyone else. Young waitresses who couldn’t care less, seemed incapable of making a pot of tea and cutting cake at the same time. All the other customers seemed to be of the same opinion and several complaints. Only saving grace was the 10% discount with our Jane Austen centre ticket.

Worse afternoon tea! Sandwiches were very poor quality and the cakes weren’t the best. Won’t go back again.

We had afternoon tea for my husband's birthday and our anniversary. Sadly it fell far short of our expectations! The bread was thick and the filling sparse and bland and not very nice. Salad garnish looked as though it had been leftover from the day before as it was limp and unappetising. The cup of tea was nice.

Un posto che ti riporta indietro nel tempo. Per chi ama il periodo storico, si tratta di un piccolo paradiso. Piccola tea room stile regency che riporta indietro nel tempo. Personale in costume. Servizio ottimo con varie possibilità sia nella scelta dei te che in quella delle torte. Noi abbiamo scelto "a tea with Darcy" 19.50 sterline. Ci hanno portato un alzata a tre piani con assaggi di sandwich, scones con marmellata e crema , mini cupcakes. In aggiunta abbiamo preso il te Jane Austen Blend, delizioso la visita al museo di Jane Austen consente di avere uno sconto del 10%.

We were served tea in beautiful pots. Sandwiches etc. arrived on cake stand but absolutely no explanation was given about the content - and one could only find out by eating them. Service otherwise fine. Teapots were filled on request. I could but help to notice that one of the young ladies serving wore a very dirty apron.
