Pump Room Restaurant (The)

Description:

• First opened in 1706 to provide a place to drink natural spring water, the Pump Room is decorated in 18th century style. Commanding a certain prestige with its double-storey windows and crystal chandeliers, the restaurant is still the place to be seen taking tea. There is no age restriction or dress code, but be prepared to pay as though you are a member of the elite. For afternoon tea, choose between High Tea, Cream Tea, and Tompion Tea. You may also still order natural spring water, which feeds the Roman Baths, contains 43 minerals, and is supposed to have curative properties.
