My favourites are: any Firmdale Hotel, Corinthia, Intercontinental Park Lane, Fortnum & Mason, Conrad St James & St Ermin’s Hotel.

Fortnum & Mason for a fancy one, Bridgets in Covent Garden for a more regular one. Those are my top 2 picks

Claridge’s is my favorite, because after calling around they offered the best customer service and alternative dietary needs.

I used to enjoy the Harrods afternoon tea on that little balcony. Waiters in long black aprons and cakes to die for. Also, when I first went, it cost £3..10s!

It doesn't cost that anymore 😅 but I did love it at harrods

Great advice! I was finding it a little overwhelming trying to decide where to go. I have noticed that most places tend to have mayonnaise based sandwiches. I have a strong dislike of mayo and am hoping to try to find an afternoon tea that may have other savory options. I would not want to go to one and waste the sandwiches or not get to enjoy half of the food. Any recommendations on afternoon teas with a less traditional savory portion without mayo?

Nice to see the cream going on that scone before the jam. Take that Cornwall!

Hello Sunny, which Christmas afternoon tea would you recommend? 😊
@Sunny_in_London17 күн бұрын
Hello! That’s a tough one because they change every year. However, Fortnum & Mason, Conrad St James and Firmdale Hotels would be the ones I would look at first. Corinthia too! Start looking in mid-November to see what they’re doing this year.

@Sunny_in_London17 күн бұрын
@@Melody-hz6cx usually. Maybe start looking first week of November? I can’t imagine you’d have trouble booking the one you want if you start that early. Another idea is to subscribe to the email list of maybe 5 places you think you’d want to go to.

@@Melody-hz6cx also- each year the ‘stars’ vary. So- I can’t predict who would have the coolest ones this year. Have to wait and see what they come up with nearer the time. I think there was a Grinch themed tea bus tour last year. Hope they do it again this year- but that’s just because I love that idea!

Sometimes they use Tiptree, which is made in Essex
@2010lrain2 ай бұрын
Some places would never serve jam in a jar especially one you can buy in any supermarket! It should be served in a jam pot with a spoon.
@tamaracarter18362 ай бұрын
I’ve never had an afternoon tea with Bonne Maman conserves/ jam. Every single one I have been to has either served Tiptree, a local made jam from that particular region (e.g. Yorkshire, Cotswolds etc), or homemade.
@DavidAndTheDogАй бұрын
The sad thing is, none of these places offer a English afternoon tea, which would have English foods such as a piece of pork pie or gala pie, and dark fruit cake, besides sandwiches and scones. Instead, they pack it out with continental patisserie or things like macarons, none of which should be eaten at afternoon tea. I wish that just one place would offer English afternoon tea.

Afternoon Tea is the biggest rip off in the industry. No, it's not about the experience when it ends up costing more than a dinner out or as much as your weekly food budget. Stupid.
