Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Burnham

Surprised to find we were the only diners when we arrived on Christmas Eve for lunch, and only one other table occupied in the time we were there. The service was exemplary although there was no reason for it not to be with so few diners. Did wonder if senior kitchen staff had been given a day off as one hot starter was virtually cold and my parsnips were so undercooked I couldn’t even cut them with a knife and fork, although they were replaced some time later. It was a shame as the setting is lovely and it should have been a better experience.

Really enjoyable trip to The Ivy Windsor. We were a group of three who visited for breakfast. I had the avocado and poached eggs and two pots of decaffeinated tea. Good service (although a little slow when we were ready to leave). Very good food. I love the decor and the ladies toilets were spotless and had really unusual wallpaper. Would definitely visit again.

Absolutely loved our tea in the lounge by the window! Food was delicious & beautifully presented. Tea was also very good (Darjeeling) and the service was impeccable! We do plan to return soon!

Didn’t know what to expect from ‘afternoon tea’. What a treat! We chose 1 vegetarian and 1 meat and were treated to a selection of warm savouries such as pakora, chicken, and tasty wraps all nicely spiced but not too hot with a variety of teas. There was a mango lassi a selection of gorgeous cakes, macaroon and even scones to finish! Didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day. Highly recommend.
