The food and service was excellent!!! My only disappointment was no extras line chips or vegetable to accompany your main course. Having to buy these separately makes the meal overly priced!! Apart from that no compliants

Excellent afternoon tea experience. Three sandwiches, two scones and four desserts. Great value, especially in comparison to other afternoon teas.

Wonderful food. Good service. But the whole experience is kind of spoiled by the awful caterwauling soundtrack the management force everyone to listen to !!! Please stop this torture. NOBODY wants to listen to some screeching twanging pop music. Some very quiet, relaxing instrumental music, possibly jazz or light classical would be 100% better. The waiter told me they have no control - it all comes from Head Office. This is absolutely ridiculous! I cannot believe that the beautiful Art Deco surroundings in the famous London branch are soiled by this racket!!! Please reconsider.

Four of us ate here on Friday 28, September, 2024. It was one of the only places we could get reservations the day before, so we knew there was a chance it was going to be a miss. Ordered 2 fish and chips, tenderstem broccoli, tomatoes, chicken kebabs with peanut sauce, creamed spinach, scallops. All of the food was meh, just barely acceptable. The creamed spinach was runny, the fish was oily and not crispy, this scallops tough, the chicken kebabs covered with a cloying sweet sauce. Our server was nice.
