An Iconic Afternoon Tea

For over two centuries, The Pump Room has welcomed visitors to pause, savour and indulge in the timeless ritual of Afternoon Tea, served beneath soaring columns and sparkling chandeliers, accompanied by daily live classical music in one of England’s finest historic rooms.

About The Pump Room

The Georgian Pump Room has been the social heart of Bath for more than two centuries and boasts amongst its previous patrons Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.

Take a seat under the chandelier and savour a delicious dining experience. Enjoy daily performances from our talented musicians, the Pump Room Trio and our resident pianist. Don’t forget to sample the spa water from the fountain, rumoured to cure all of life’s little ailments!

Join us daily for our Morning Bakery and Brunch and indulge in our Jane Austen Afternoon Tea, inspired by the Regency era’s elegant tea traditions.

The Pump Room Fountain is undergoing essential maintenance work and therefore visitors are not able to sample the spa water at present. We are so sorry for the inconvenience, and our Operations Team are working on this as fast as they can.

The Pump Room Trio

If you’ve ever sipped afternoon tea beneath the glittering chandeliers of Bath’s historic Pump Room, chances are you’ve been serenaded by the graceful strains of live classical music drifting through the air. This unique experience is brought to you by The Pump Room Trio. They remain the oldest resident musical trio in the world, having been based at the Pump Room for more than 300 years – although members have, of course, changed over in that time! The very talented current Trio members are Lucy Hewson (violin), Matthew Greswell (cello) and Imogen Windsor (piano).
