    I booked this high tea experience based on some TikTok reviews, and it did not disappoint. The space is absolutely stunning, making it a perfect choice for tourists. The food was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised when our wonderful server mentioned that both the food and tea were unlimited. However, after trying everything, we were completely satisfied and didn’t need seconds. It was a truly memorable experience!

    Amazing Festive Afternoon Tea at The Savoy ⭐ Lovely sandwiches and cakes, and a wide range of tea to choose from, and the option of a glass of champagne to mark any special occasion. The service by the staff was brilliant and nothing too much trouble to make the visit memorable.

    Food was superb. Service was great and the staff were very attentive. Only small criticism are the table for 2 being close together so can hear each others conversations.

    The food was tasty, particularly the truffle egg sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. However, the service did not meet the standard we expect from a 5-star hotel. We have been to afternoon teas at other hotels (e.g. Ritz, Claridge’s and Café Royal), but unfortunately, this experience was disappointing. At one point, the waiting staff came to our table without asking if we needed a top-up and accidentally mixed different flavoured teas in our cups. We were too shocked to say anything at the time. We had to request items several times (e.g. milk, which should have been provided without requesting, or hot water to top up the teapot), and it consistently took 5 to 10 minutes for them to arrive. These delays left us feeling like we were waiting far too long for basic service. At the end, we also waited 10 minutes just to pay. Another issue was the seating arrangement. There was a table positioned so close to ours that my mother struggled to pass it when leaving. This setup did not reflect the spacious arrangement we would expect in a 5-star restaurant. While we enjoyed the food and appreciated the ambience of the room, the overall experience fell short of our expectations. Unfortunately, we are unlikely to return.
