It was late in the afernoon and we were desperate for a cup of tea. We'd tried the Pump rooms but walked out having seen the prices for the scones (£6.25) and a local recommended these tearooms. My guests were charmed by this place as soon as we walked in - 40's music, very friendly waitresses (40's style), linen embroidered... More

We so much enjoyed the whole afternoon tea experience here from the authentic decor to the welcoming and attentive waitress to the refreshing tea and excellent baking. We felt it was very reasonably priced and would highly recommend. What a great find!

My hubby and i visited Bath for an overnight stay to see opening night of an Agatha Christie play. In keeping with the style of our visit we wanted to have traditional tea and scones so I did a bit of research to find the perfect place. I'm a bit of a vintage 1930/40's fan so when I stumbled across... More

Retro tea rooms reminiscent of Dad's Army set but with real food. Crockery and table linen matching the theme. Hand embroidered cloth reminded me powerfully of afternoon tea at my grandmother's. We had tea and cake - waitress was really sweet and choose particular pretty crockery for us and had knowledge advice about quirky teapot. Both tea and cake excellent.... More

My partner came across Bea's while on a walk around the neighborhood where we're staying. He found it so charming he came home to take me out to tea and we both enjoyed ourselves, and our food, greatly. I had the full afternoon tea (wish I had remembered the precise name, but it was "the whole works"--finger sandwiches, scone with... More

The vintage 1930s decor was nice and food enjoyable, however, the staffs manner was a little questionable. We also thought it was a bit over priced for what you got- I had two small scones with a little pot of cream and jam for £4.55, then tea was an additional £2.55 on top of this. One waitress, we assumed to... More

We attended 20 of us for a hen party. We had our own private room which was great. Cakes, sandwiches and scones all fabulous! And very well presented! Everybody said how great it was and reasonably priced!! Definitely recommend it! The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Terribly disappointing, we travelled to bath to go for afternoon tea and stumbled upon this tea rooms. Often visiting others you know what your going to get. In comparison it was overpriced and a bit bland! You got 6 little finger sandwiches, a SMALL scone and a slice of cake. You couldn't choose the filling of your sandwiches or the... More
