Pump Room: The Pump Room

During Jane Austen’s times, The Pump Room, was a centre of social activity in Bath, where the wealthy would meet and greet, and take the waters which had been drawn from a nearby spa.

Today, the clientele are more likely to be tourists like my husband and I, stopping by for lunch or afternoon tea between visits to the nearby Roman Bath Museum and Bath Abbey. We could still sample the thermal waters (for 50p a glass), but despite being impressed by the fish shaped fountain, I wasn’t so impressed by the taste.

I much preferred the hot chocolate (£2.95), served with both whipped cream and marshmallows, and the equally decadent slice of chocolate pecan brownie (£1.95).

At midday on a cold Sunday in January, there were only a handful of tables occupied in a room that seemed crowded with tables: all covered in white table-cloths and with multiple cutlery options per person. This – along with the portraits on the walls, the heavy curtain, and the chandelier – gives the Pump Room a rather formal atmosphere.

Although it did seem that the Room is maintained for the tourists, I felt kind of out-of-place in my jeans and with my backpack stashed under my chair – and was much more comfortable when, with bill paid, I was back out on the streets of Bath.
