Christmas Afternoon Tea Experiences

We arrived much earlier than expected but it proved no problem and we enjoyed a very nice afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea at the Georgian restaurant at Harrods was a gift from my daughter for my birthday. It was such a wonderful day, the staff were very attentive, explained what all the filling were in the Sandwiches, and what the beautiful looking cakes were. Everything was displayed so nicely. The tea was plentiful. Never felt if we were being rushed to finish, offered more Sandwiches when we finished our servings. It was such a wonderful afternoon and truly brilliant gift.

A great value afternoon tea. Good quality food and drinks. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The table was ready and the staff were attentive from the minute we arrived. The food and drink was lovely. I would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed it- good range of sandwiches and cakes. Very tasty!

A lovely afternoon tea at the Taj Hotel in a beautiful surroundings. I booked this as a surprise treat for my husband, and the attentive staff made the experience even more special. The vegetarian options were excellent, the food was generous, delicious and beautifully presented. We also appreciated being able to take the remaining food home.

A perfect Afternoon tea that catered for Gluten Free. Beautiful setting for that special occasion. Thank you Coombe Abbey

Really lovely afternoon tea. Food was lovely to look at and tasted delicious. Vivian who served us was really attentive and at no point did we feel rushed. Would certainly recommend.

The hotel is lovely, clean bright and welcoming. The staff were cheerful and polite and immediately mentioned that they were aware of the emails that I had earlier sent to them, telling them about my allergies. I gave them a paper, taken from Allergy UK, explaining everything about my BOP allergy, and they were not only interested, because no one had heard of it, but asked if they could print a copy off. They said that they would show it to the chef, but also keep it as future reference for any other sufferers. We were then shown to our table, and the chef, and serving staff had gone the extra mile to make sure everything was correct, even placing different items on my server that they knew I was safe to eat. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon tea. It felt so special and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, that we felt like regulars. We will certainly be going back again.

Sumptuous medieval castle in picturesque surroundings, just the best location for a luxurious afternoon tea. Set in the library with 24ft ceiling, high windows, chandeliers, a warm fire burning and comfortable armchairs, just gorgeous. The afternoon tea was obviously just made as so fresh and absolutely delicious. Followed by a boardgame in the lounge afterwards with drinks. Perfect afternoon, what a treat.

Excellent afternoon from arrival to departure. Welcome, Staff, service and the afternoon tea were fabulous. Thank you.
