    Enjoyed the experience of visiting The Savoy for an afternoon tea. Food was ok but we had to ask for more rather than being offered it. The welcome at reception was engaging and the waitress who served tea (drink) made us feel very welcome, unfortunately the gentleman waiter who tended the table made no attempt to chat beyond taking our order.even when he presented the bill - including the 15%/£27 service charge - there was no warmth or making us feeling valued. Such a shame as compared to other venues in London where we have had a much better experience this means I can’t give a 5 star review

    Took my mum for a 70th birthday surprise. It was wonderful. Staff very tentative. Food was tasty. Portions were small but it left room to finish all dishes. Would definitely recommend as a treat. Pricey but well worth the experience.

    We were celebrating a big birthday and had a lovely time. We tried a selection of teas, all of which were fabulous, and so was the food. The service wasn’t as refined as we would have expected, but many of the waiting team were wearing ‘In Training’ badges so it wouldn’t be fair to scrutinise their efforts. Despite them clearly being very new and still learning the service, everyone was incredibly kind and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. We also enjoyed the pianist. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

    The afternoon tea with champagne was excellent. Perfect service, faultless catering of cakes and scallops really was a lovely birthday treat for my husband. The added bonus of a surprise birthday treat served with a greeting message was very well received. Thank you Savoy x

    Overall a very enjoyable experience however the service was somewhat disjointed, we waited an unacceptable amount of time after one glass of champagne had been poured before my guest received theirs. The atmosphere is lovely and we appreciated the pianist in the background. The traditional afternoon tea food was well presented and tasty. We loved the savoury selection.

    Our whole experience was first class, from reception to service to food, which was only slightly bettered by another top London hotel experience. But we couldn’t have asked for more
