The Royal Breakfast

We make every effort to ensure that your “Royal” breakfast is memorable.

Where possible we source the ingredients locally including hand made sausages, free range eggs, cheese, fruit and vegetables.

We ensure that there are healthy options available such as Actimel probiotic yoghurts, fresh fruit and a “Hot Vegetarian Plate” in addition to a wide choice of traditional British and speciality breakfast dishes plus freshly baked pastries including croissants and pain au chocolat.

All hot dishes are freshly cooked to order for each guest to ensure maximum quality.

For added quality, tea is freshly brewed with loose tea leaves (no teabags!) and coffee is freshly prepared for each guest via a cafetiere.

Little extras which appeal to some guests such as Marmite and Nutella are also available.

Why Guests Love Our Breakfast

Many of our guests tell us that breakfast is one of the highlights of their stay at The Royal Hotel. The relaxed setting of Brasserie Brunel provides the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a freshly prepared dish and a cafetière of coffee before stepping out into the beautiful Georgian city of Bath.

Our breakfast menu is designed to suit all tastes, from traditional English breakfasts with bacon, baked beans and eggs, to lighter choices such as smashed avocado on toasted granary bread. Guests also enjoy a tempting selection of pastries, fresh fruit, cereals and yoghurt to begin the day.

Those with a sweet tooth are equally well looked after, with pancakes and French toast available alongside the savoury classics. Whatever your preference, breakfast in Bath at The Royal offers a balance of quality, choice and attentive service that sets the tone for the rest of your day.

A Tradition of Hospitality in a Beautiful Georgian City

Breakfast at The Royal carries with it more than just food, it reflects our tradition of hospitality that has spanned over 150 years. Designed by the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, our Grade II listed building has been welcoming guests since 1846.

The warm and personal service we are known for is as much a part of breakfast as the freshly brewed tea or coffees we serve at your table. Many of our guests return time and again, reassured by the familiar setting and the high standards that we have continued to maintain.

This sense of history and continuity makes breakfast here more than a meal, it is an experience that connects you with Bath’s past while enjoying the comforts of the present.

Locally Sourced Ingredients and Quality

We take pride in sourcing the freshest ingredients wherever possible. Handmade sausages, free range eggs, smoked salmon, black pudding and seasonal produce are all chosen with care to ensure every dish meets our standards.

Vegetarian guests can enjoy plates featuring halloumi, tomatoes, mushrooms and wilted spinach, while lighter options such as fruit, yoghurt and cereals provide a refreshing start. For those who prefer something more indulgent, our pastries and pancakes make an ideal choice.

This commitment to quality ensures that every plate served reflects both the best of local produce and the dedication of our kitchen team. It is this focus on detail that makes our breakfast in Bath so memorable for guests.

Smoked Salmon and Classic Favourites

Our breakfast menu includes smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast, a dish that continues to be a favourite among guests. Alongside this, you can enjoy poached eggs, home cooked gammon, or lighter vegetarian plates. Each dish is freshly prepared to order, ensuring the same high quality every morning.

Smashed Avocado and Lighter Options

For those looking for something fresh and wholesome, our smashed avocado on toasted granary bread, served with poached egg and cherry tomatoes, is a popular choice. Combined with seasonal fruit, yoghurt and cereals, it provides a lighter start to the day while still delivering plenty of flavour.

Something for a Sweet Tooth

If you prefer a sweeter beginning, our breakfast menu includes buttermilk pancakes, French toast and a range of pastries including croissants and pain au chocolat. Served alongside hot drinks and juices, these options are perfect for those who enjoy a little indulgence to start the day.
