    I have been to afternoon tea at mad dogs a few times and feel this time the experience and service was not as good. Had to ask first more tea and was going to order a cocktail but staff didn’t come to our table only to give sandwiches and cake. General experience lacking that special touch this time

    Our afternoon tea today was perfect, every single person at Mad Dog & The Englishman was so friendly and welcoming. We had the best time and are already planning which theme tea we want to go to next.

    We have been coming here for the themed afternoon tea for quite a number of years and have always given a 5 star review on all points, unfortunately this year we did not feel this was 5 star except for the food. The food was amazing as always but the whole thing felt extremely rushed. We were sat next to a speaker playing music which whilst lovely, it was so loud we couldn’t hear each other talk. We found decorations for the Snow White afternoon tea to be very lacking in comparison to other themed afternoons. Only saw 1 member of staff dress up also this time. It was definitely lacking something this time unfortunately. It also states on the receipt ‘voluntary service charge’ but when we asked the waitress to take off the service charge we were heavily questioned as to why which was embarrassing to say the least. We have always paid the service charge but on this occasion we did not feel it was appropriate to pay another £26 in service charge.

    What a fabulous experience! Snow White was magical. We were celebrating a 70th birthday and MD&E made the celebration doubly good. The food was absolutely astounding, the ambience and setting was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the service - nothing was too much trouble. This was our second visit, the first was the Little Mermaid. I would wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful place for afternoon tea.
