    A little off the beaten track but great if you've been sightseeing around the Houses of Parliament etc. It's a room within the hotel, so no views but there were lovely flowers on the table and it was beautifully decorated, so still felt special. The food was excellent: stunning patisserie, especially. However, a fuss was made when we asked for the vegetarian option for one guest. It was not clear that this had to be pre-ordered and seemed excessive, given that it only amounted to changing a couple of the sandwiches. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant venue for a birthday treat.

    We had such a lovely experience on the 02/04 for my friends 40th. The room was set up beautifully and there was so much food for the 5 of us which was all delicious. The lady looking after us was amazing , I believe her name was Francesca (apologies if this is wrong) she even presented personalised birthday chocolates for my friend which was a lovely touch. We were really well looked after and that made the experience for us!

    Food was nice but service was very poor, from arriving at the hotel there was a distinct apathy from the the staff. Parts of the order were forgotten and it took several requests to rectify. Seemed to be a lack of staff resulting in an eternity trying to get their attention to pay the bill.

    Lovely afternoon tea, couldn't have asked for anything more. Unfortunately the Orchard room had been hired out for an event so we were seated elsewhere, which was still lovely however the tables were very low and small making it a little difficult to sit and eat comfortably but this did not spoil our day. The food was outstanding and the tea perfect, would highly recommend.

    The food was good with a nice selection of scones, sandwiches and desserts. The tea was served in an interior room without a view or even a window. When we were full and asked to take a few items back to our hotel - we were told they did not allow "takeout". The manager said there was a UK law prohibiting "takeout". However, we were able to take leftovers from other establishments during our trip. So we were left a little confused about their rules.

    It took a while after ordering our drink choices for them to arrive, and londer still got the food. Some of the sandwiches were a little dry. Perhaps ask how quickly we would like our food so that people can choose to chat first, and others can eat sooner. We hadn't had lunch and so wee a little hungry. Other than that, it was a lovely afternoon and we'll be back again.

    We went at 4:30pm and there was only 1 other table which left shortly after we sat down so we had the room to ourselves. The service couldn’t have been better. They accommodated my want allergy by giving us each a full dessert instead of sharing one. The service couldn’t have been better!

    Having prebooked and requesting a vegetarian afternoon tea, all I got was the regular afternoon tea sandwiches (Just egg and cucumber) minus all the meat ones. This was quite disappointing as I was paying the same amount and very little had been done. You only get 5 small fingers and that’s your lot!! The staff and service was fantastic however

    A friend and I are traveling for Wimbledon and then on to The Open primarily, but she really wanted to have tea in London. Very difficult to find a time slot on our schedule, but the Orchard Room had several spots with more flexible hours than most Teas offered. We were both incredibly impressed by the tea, service, and property. If you want to do Tea in London- you will be delighted here. More private, but exactly what we hoped for and more.

    It was a quiet setting, however we got to really enjoy the food without being rushed. Waitress was friendly and helpful. Would have liked the afternoon tea to be more jubilee themed or traditional Victoria sponge maybe some options would have helped as wasn't a fan of dark chocolate, and orange sponge

    Really lovely food but let down slightly by the service. We waited 25 minutes before being offered any food or drink. The room also feels a bit remote with staff having to come in and out of the door which leaves you there alone without any way of asking for help. When the food did come it was really good, one of the best I’ve had but the service didn’t match up which was a shame.

    I wasn't overly impressed. Have had better tea service in New York. The food was all brought out at once. Server never came back to see if we wanted more tea. Just lacked the overall tea service. Felt like an average restaurant where the food is served and the server just walks away. Room was very pretty but cold. Waiting almost 30 minutes for our check. I would not recommend
