    Great ambience at the Savoy with piano music in the background. Friendly helpful servers. Even saw the famous Red Lift afterwards! Sandwiches were not very nice. Champagne was great and the lobster canapes were delicious.

    Fabulous experience, the ambience of the Gallery is special. It’s the details in its decor that shine. The staff are all so young but so slick and professional. Good on you Archie. Excellent. Thankyou for the live piano background music. Not too loud not too quiet. The food is exquisite, I was full after, the basic high tea set more than enough. Champagne is quality but a small serving. Lovely cup of tea. A sublime tranquil afternoon.

    Giancarlo and Leah’s absolutely DIVINE service made our High Tea so special and precious! They were so attentive to my daughter’s food allergy and provided her with the most delicious substitutions. We will always remember this tea as truly amazing!

For a more relaxed experience choose a weekday or an early afternoon seating, several guests note midweek visits feel less rushed. Avoid peak periods like festive/Christmas seatings, weekends and popular twilight tea times when the room is busiest. If you want quieter music and conversation, ask for a table away from the piano.

Midweek (Tuesday–Thursday) is often the best day for a relaxed visit, guests report calmer service and fewer crowds on non‑weekend days.
