Montagu's Mews
Indulgence, heritage, and a touch of literary charm in the heart of Bath
What better way to savour the elegance of Bath than with a traditional Afternoon Tea at Montagu’s Mews, the beautiful restaurant, bar and terrace within The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa? Tuck into a sumptuous selection of delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve, and bite-sized exquisite pastries - all freshly prepared by our talented chefs.
