From start to finish the experience was fantastic! Every single staff member was incredible and so lovely! We weren’t rushed, we weren’t pestered, we could have endless amounts of everything. It’s so hard to find a worthy Afternoon Tea but this was definitely the best! I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you ☺️

I bought this experience for my granddaughter’s birthday treat. It was amazing and she loved it. The service was brilliant. My daughter said they bent over backwards to please. The food was lovely and they replaced anything that they didn’t like. I asked for a gluten free option and thought it would be a limited., but no it was exactly like the non gluten variety. My granddaughter was so happy and excited to tell me all about it when she got home. Thank you

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then" (Lewis Carroll) and that is exactly how you feel after high-tea at Mad Hatters. What a whimsical afternoon on a dreary London day! Tea was impeccably good and confectionaries- oh my gosh- amazing!
