Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Buckhurst Hill

Always an amazing experience - just a very beautiful setting to enjoy amazing food with the stunning St Paul's lit up creating a truly iconic setting! Service was attentive and theatrical, without being over the top. Only question was on leaving, I was shown out the back way into the shopping centre rather than the impressive front lobby which was odd?

Lovely food, great atmosphere. Have been a few times and always enjoy it.

Excellent birthday treat for my husband. Gorgeous place to have afternoon tea. Food was perfect 👌

We had a great time at Vicinity for my mum’s 84th birthday! Our waitress Lenodaha was very helpful and made our experience really one to remember

Had a lovely Sunday morning here enjoying the Champagne Breakfast. At first there was no atmosphere and it felt very formal and slightly strained, with only the sounds of low conversation and cutlery when we arrivedand i regretted booking. It was making me feel slightly uncomfortable even though staff were supper friendly, especially Quinten. I asked if the extremely low background music I heard up at the bar area could be turned up to create a more comfortable, relaxed vibe. Thankfully this was done and the whole atmosphere instantly changed for the better. Sunday breakfast should be fun and not feel like sitting in the board room. The food at the buffet was plentiful for the amount of guest, very fresh with a really good variety so we didn't find it necessary to order from the menu. I enjoyed the Greek yogurt aling with the vast selection of nuts and seeds, fresh fruit and honey from the honeycomb. The scrabled eggs were very light, infact the best I've had in ages. The sourdough was perfect and i was able to toast it. Finally i had a few cut of cheese and fruits to finish off my champagne, then sat until early midday with a pot of tea people watching which is great in this hotel. We agreed the champagne breakfast offer was very good value and we'd probably book this again when we are next in London.
