Why choose Brigit’s Bakery?

We have spent over 15 years perfecting what we do. We created London’s original Afternoon Tea Bus Tour on board our iconic 1960s Routemaster bus back in 2013, and we still lead with the same passion for quality, craft and service that shaped us from day one.

Our heritage comes from a family background in hotels and restaurants. Food and hospitality sit at the centre of every decision we make. You feel it in the welcome. You taste it in every bite.

Our French-trained pastry chefs bring precision and flair to each menu. We bake fresh daily, using classic techniques and refined presentation. You enjoy delicate patisserie, balanced flavours and beautifully finished cakes that reflect true French training.

We pair our sweet treats with carefully selected savoury bites. Each afternoon tea is crafted with expertise and intention, delivering a truly award-winning experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

If you want to understand our story, our values and the people behind the experience, read our About page and see why so many guests return to us year after year.

Will we be able to get off the bus?

No, the bus is only permitted to pick up and drop off passengers at our designated locations.

How many people fit on a table and will we have to share?

Our tables sit up to four guests in a cosy setting. Let’s remember these are the original Routemaster bus seats and we’ve all got a lot larger than our 1960’s relations! Please bear this in mind when booking for your group.

Our VIP seating is for two guests and is situated on the upper deck at the very front of the bus.

If you are a group of 5, either book two tables near one another via our online booking system. Or alternatively, call our bookings team and we’d be happy to help you choose the best options available for your tour of choice.
