    It was great to enjoy on my own, and the service was excellent. I had a wonderful time thanks to Chloe’s great service.

    We were taken to the table at the edge of the room where waiteresses and waiters do some work like preparing bills and registering orders. I was surprised with it because there were so many empty seats not taken by anybody in more centre of the room (they were still empty in large part even at the time when we left the room). We were the first Asians when we entered the room, but saw other Asians also taken to tables nearest to us rather than more centre of the room. It makes me wonder if there was any intention to seperate Asian looking people from others. This is not to dismiss excellent food and tea we enjoyed very much. However, it left some ill feelings throughout my stay there.

    The room was beautiful & we were greeting warmly. Service started off well & waitress was friendly. We had nearly eaten our sandwiches before we had our drinks which we thought was bad. The tea was warm - at best but kept getting re-filled, but it was never hot. Sandwiches were lovely. Some of the cakes were lovely but a couple were a bit bland. They looked beautiful though. The room was really warm, which wasn’t ideal & made my friend feel a bit faint! We seemed to get forgotten about after the first half hour & then struggled to find anyone to ask for water or the bill. Once the bill arrived, they lost my voucher for champagne afternoon tea (I handed this to the waitress when we ordered) that my friend had kindly bought me for my birthday & then was a while before our waitress appeared again to say her manager was coming over. After more time had passed the manager appeared & apologised for losing it but it was all sorted. We were sat melting for a long time before this was sorted, which was quite frustrating. All in all, it was quite a disappointing experience- especially considering how much it cost. I won’t be returning in a hurry.

    The service was professional and attentive. Attention to detail….an empty cup or plate was addressed immediately. Service was genuine and friendly….absolutely delightful.

    Having booked well in advance we were disappointed that our table felt like an “add on” and we didn’t really get the full effect of being in the Thames Foyer. That was the only disappointment. The service and the food were first class. I needed a wheat free afternoon tea and it was the best I have ever had.

    We absolutely loved our first visit. Carina ensured we had a memorable time and made some fantastic suggestions. The staff are very kind and accommodating. They also ensured my friend Ujal who is a ‘bride to be’ felt very special. Thank you!
