The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon

I have been to quite a few afternoon teas. This one I would describe as the worst for the price. The minimum price is GBP 90 as there is « discretionary » service charge to the stated list price, though it is now normal for UK establishments. The quality of food was good, but the sweet treats were melting when they were brought. China is well worn out. The main problem is the service, which was non-existent compared to similar establishments. Just to name the few: We were not asked if we want aperitifs aperitifs were not brought together for everyone and we had to wait for 20 min for the last one to arrive The refill hot water was plated all over the table and it was miracle that no one was...

Was truly on the fence about having Afternoon Tea here because the reviews were so mixed but opted to just give it a-go and can 100% vouch for those that stated this place is highly overrated. Service was extremely slow, we had a weird pungent scent of fish near our table the entire time- server was nice enough but not very attentive. The scones were some of the best I've ever had so kudos to that (clotted cream was nice as well) but the sandwiches were nothing to rave about/very forgettable and the entire sweets portion were NOT good at all (I didn't finish anythingggg); even my tea selection was a standard drip tea bag and not loose.

As a birthday treat it was a lovely occasion in a pleasant environment. Food was nice especially the savoury tea £85 . Generous portions if you ask for more and super little card boxes to take away the uneaten food. It is over priced at £80 for finger sandwiches, tea/ coffee, scones and cake. It is an additional £17.50 for a glass of champagne that is £45 a bottle in the Food Basement of the shop . Service was good if clumsy there were two incidents while we were there. There are better tea time experiences for the price elsewhere.

Really disappointed in our experience. The food was O, although cakes dry and seemed stale, gluten free scones best I have ever had, hence an extra star! Champagne awful quality. Service really poor; our waitress really couldn't be bothered, but the chap who brought our food was lovely. I know they are busy, but I expected good service and didn't get it. Shame.
