                      We went to celebrate our birthdays and had the best time! The staff were just lovely; very attentive and super efficient. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented. As it was our birthday we were presented with a special plate with a birthday cake & candle and card from The Gallery. The whole experience super special.

                      The afternoon experience was lovely and our guest was treated to a lovely birthday welcome for the special occasion. The only slight let down was that at one point a couple of our teas were mispoured into the wrong cups and needed to be replaced and this also took a little longer than we would have hoped. The mistake was eventually though, the staff were very friendly and the ambience and experience was lovely.

                      The experience was marred by the service received. The champagne and the sandwiches were served promptly but the tea was not served for at least 20-30 mins. later. We had three different persons serving us and there didn’t seem to be any communication between them, this meant everything was very disjointed.

                      Our server left us without an explanation before our high tea ended. We didn’t have consistent service after that.

                      There is no doubt the Savoy is a beautiful place and the food was delicious but for the price you’re paying I expect more! You could get extras but it wasn’t openly offered, the service was not the best and at the Savoy I expect it to be. We didn’t get our tea till we were halfway through our sandwich’s and at the the end we were charged 15% service charge but when the service is lacking I’ll choose what I think it was worth thank you. In short it was ok! Not worth £200 . I’ve had much better in London.

                      The whole experience was great. The food is more filling than expected which made the evening meal a little too much. One or other is enough for most i think.
