The restaurant was very much in demand as it was 23 Dec and practically Christmas. We were a party of 6 and I was extremely pleased with the level of service, standard of food and atmosphere even though they must have been under a lot of pressure. We were made to feel welcome and well looked after.

Without a doubt the best afternoon tea we have had. The food was absolutely delicious and our server Dylan was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We had asked before hand if our daughter could have plain ham sandwiches and it was all prepared for her without any trouble. We will definitely be returning next Christmas for festive afternoon tea at The Savoy Gallery.
