What does it have to do with the series?
In Bridgerton, Madame Delacroix's dress shop, the Modiste, where the debutantes try on the season's gowns, is this corner of Abbey Green, a minute from the abbey. Visit Bath places it in the first and second seasons, and the little square around it also stood in for Covent Garden. Today it is a café and food shop, The Abbey Deli, which says so on its own website. It is a genuine filming location and, at the same time, the only place in Bath where you can be served a tea named after the series on the menu.
What do you have?
By day it is an ordinary café, from 9:00 to 17:00 (at weekends from 9:30), and it sells teas and souvenirs of the Modiste. What fans are looking for is the afternoon tea: the Modiste, with sandwiches, a scone with jam and cream, sweet treats and the house tea, for £28.95 per person, or the Mdme Delacroix, the same but with a special tea and a glass of prosecco, for £38.95.
How to book
The tea is not ordered on the spot. You write to [email protected] with the day, date and time you prefer; it is served every day between 13:30 and 16:00, for groups of two to ten people, and a 50% deposit by bank transfer is requested. Special diets, when booking.
What to order: the Modiste Afternoon Tea, with sandwiches, a scone with jam and cream, sweet treats and the house tea.
