    We weren’t aware that the foyer had been renovated, the atrium is no longer there & therrs a bar in the middle! Not as nice as previous years! Hardly any Xmas decorations. Quite disappointing. Will be looking elsewhere for next Christmas

    A lovely festive tea. We had dreadful issues getting to The Savoy with nightmares on the tube and were 45 mins late. We rang to tell them and staff were wonderful- kept our table for us and were not rushed at all to get through our tea Big thank you to the staff for that. Service was excellent from Guiseppe- explained everything and very attentive..Got a second helping of sandwiches for no extra cost. Delicious. Especially liked the egg brioche. Lemon curd was also a winner with the scone ! Also very happy for us to take home the cakes we couldn't finish in beautiful box. Our table was lovely- round and in the corner. Savoy beautifullly decorated and a wonderful Christmas treat. In my view the refurbishment is fantastic. Absolutely love The Savoy - our go to place for special occasions.

    We went for festive afternoon tea at the Gallery on Saturday 14th December. The food was fantastic. The service was impeccable. A special shout out to Alejandro. She was amazing and made us feel so welcome. She is a star. Thank you for making our day so special :)

    Absolutely bitterly disappointed I went to claridges two weeks ago and really wish I had booked to go back there. This was a special treat for my Neices 40th birthday and we left underwhelmed. The staff at claridges were much more attentive and to be honest the quality of the afternoon tea far superior.We asked for more sandwiches for three of us and we’re given four sandwiches to share out. I asked about a taxi and got no answer I also said we had to get a train could we have a carrier bag to put the take home cake box in didn’t get one, didn’t have to ask twice at Claridges. Also the bill was put down didn’t even get chance to look at it when the card machine was thrust upon me, very rude. Sorry Savoy you need to raise the bar. Overall a dissatisfied expensive experience !!!

    There is no festive feeling at all in the gallery. Felt rushed. The waitress Katrina was impatient with our elderly guest. The gluten free afternoon tea wasn’t very full for paying the same price and very little substitutes. Very disappointed
