Absolutely fantastic experience for 2 Twits loving kids - and their mums. The artwork and attention to detail was fantastic and the tea room set up was so pretty. Food was fun and delicious - The Twits would have been proud. Service was great and the staff were so lovely and accommodating with nothing being too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend.

The food! The service,! the location in Covent Garden❤️! We do not have a bad thing to say! We loved the shepherds pie and the salted sourdough bread and chicken satay appetizer. It was out of this world. I could go back and eat that every day! Chicken satay was probably the best we’ve ever had. Definitely a win. And the prices were very reasonable!

A nice atmosphere and decor, tables were well set out with ample space around. Food was tasty; the black pudding scotch egg was nicely cooked, with a runny yolk. The mushroom risotto was perfect albeit a little expensive - probably due to the truffle. Partner ate from the set menu, which was exceptionally good value. I would definitely return if eating in the area again.

We were served quickly and efficiently. The food was great value off the set 2 course menu and was really tasty. The only downside for me was that it was very noisy. The music was loud, and we were seated very close to other diners where we couldn't help but hear their conversations as they would have done ours.

The afternoon tea with champagne was excellent. Perfect service, faultless catering of cakes and scallops really was a lovely birthday treat for my husband. The added bonus of a surprise birthday treat served with a greeting message was very well received. Thank you Savoy x
