The ambience and staff at the Lanesborough were lovely and the sandwiches were delicious. However the afternoon tea was let down by the pastries which all had the same soft texture. At £98 it wasn't value for money at all.

*Afternoon tea - Vegan menu. The Lanesborough decor, ambiance and service were second to none. All of the members of staff we encountered were friendly, polite and engaged with us throughout our visit. The service in particular was impeccable and at no point were we left waiting or wanting for anything. Unfortunately, as is the case with many vegan offerings, flavour and texture were sacrificed. Particularly disappointing were the scones, which had a distinctive taste and were not sweet enough. On a more minor note, when serving vegan cream, it looses its integrity if left to get to room temperature. One of the pastries (had candy stripes) was very disappointing in terms of taste. We came with high expectations given the venue and sadly they were not met.
