Outstanding!

I booked this for my partners birthday. Beautiful décor, wonderful atmosphere, the staff are fantastic and the food/drinks... Amazing! We will be heading back. Also, I didn't tell them it was my partners birthday but when they found out, they brought a lovely birthday treat over. I highly recommend and will definitely be heading back

Great afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday

From the moment,we arrived we had excellent service, from the man greeting us in the street , to the man opening the door, reception staff pointing us to the right direction and the concierge taking are extra bags we had to a store room. When we arrived just a couple of minutes after the booking time, they said it was not an issue. Every staff member was polite and really seem to enjoy their job. I have been to many afternoon teas in London and I will definitely be returning and would recommend this to others. It is a well thought out menu. Not your average bread used for the sandwiches (which are refillable). Chocolate scones were a lovely addition to the other standard plain scones we also had. The cakes were lovely but we couldn’t manage them all as we had a few extra sandwiches. The waitress Tamara was so professional, pleasant and polite. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. I think the waiters name was ?Tun. He was very knowledgeable of the food and very helpful and clear with directions to the toilets. When we had enough, we were offered boxes for both the spare cakes and spare sandwiches. And as it was to celebrate my partners birthday we sung happy birthday and he got a cupcake with a candle it in brought to him by Tamara. He was a little embarrassed of course lol but loved the cake. Tamara helped us get some retro sweets from The sweet cart at the end. Both staff members, welcomed us back to come along again, they have a different menu for the Christmas period and next year when I’ve had my Baby I will definitely be returning. At the end of the experience, I was waiting for my partner, who was at the toilet, after climbing back up the stairs myself, after using the facilities too (there is a lift). I am Heavily pregnant, so I got out of breath and Tun walked passed me, and had a genuine concern, as did other staff who passed me, if I was okay, as I was a little out of breath.

Excellent experience

Considerate staff, didnt rush us at all and gave us plenty of time to eat. Excellent pastries and sandwiches Only thing that would have made it better is if it was clear whether refills were included and if we were able to choose where to sit.
