Bunn History
Legend has it that Sally Lunn, a Huguenot refugee, came to this bake-house in 1680 and started
to make a rich, round & generous ‘Bunn’ that was big but incredibly light and delicious. She made
her Bunns with fresh eggs, local butter and warm milk together with the skill she had learned
making French brioche. In the days of Beau Nash the Bunn was served at the public breakfasts and
afternoon teas. Sally Lunn Bunns became so famous that the house began to be called after her. The
recipe, found in a secret cupboard, is now passed on with the deeds of the house
