The Harrods Tea Rooms - London

The teas were absolutely delicious, as were the sandwiches (choice of 4) and desserts (choice of 4). The scones were served with clotted cream and raspberry and strawberry jams. The staff were amazing and on hand. Refills were offered but we were both struggling by the time the scones came! Everything was brilliant, from the service to the food as well as the ambiance. Also the pianist was phenomenal!

Ambience: perfect/exceptional The most comfortable seating with tables arranged the farthest apart from one another, compared to all higher end afternoon tea in London we had had. The very good pianist also took the experience to the next level. service: very good The team really took it seriously what guests were allergic to or simply disliked. One of them was patient enough to point out the Cucumber Minted Goats Curd sandwich was not for goat cheese haters in his opinion and offered to bring us some vegan options instead. sandwich: good We had had a lot better and expected better. scones: perfect/exceptional Warmed just right. One of, if not the softest scones we had had. Raspberry jam and strawberry jam were good. patisseries: surprisingly disappointing We were always fans of those sold in Harrods Food Hall and nothing ever failed, so not sure what went wrong with this festive menu. tea: good Not bad, but expected better, with a larger variety of herbal tea.

Lovely food, good service, but not very private as area on a thoroughfare to the toilets! We had one glass of champagne each first, then a sorbet to cleanse our palette, then sandwiches (which were replenished once) then our scones (bought out separately as warm) then our desserts. Tea was offered as we ate the sandwiches- you only get one pot each with some additional hot water. Pleasant vibe with a pianist, but ruined by being so public.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience. We came here for my birthday after buying a voucher through Virgin Experiences, and we weren’t disappointed. Firstly, the staff are extremely friendly and took the time to discuss my dietary requirements. They also had an absolutely fantastic selection of tea from around the world, which was unlimited. This includes various oolong teas, black teas, white teas and teas such as rose bud tea and peppermint tea. I tried a green tea and the peppermint tea which was absolutely delicious. Their own blend looked delicious too. The espressos were also very nice. In regards to the food, this was fantastic. When they bring the plates, they explain the order in which to eat them to have the best possible experience and the menu has recommendations on tea to have with each course. Each sandwich was absolutely delicious, and the cakes were to die for too. Once you’re done with this, they bring out warm scones with jam and cream which are amazing. I liked that they were able to fully accommodate my dairy free requirements here too by offering vegan versions of dairy products. They also presented me with a birthday card and a small birthday dessert which I really appreciated, and this was a lovely touch. They also didn’t make us feel rushed which was great, and helped us to relax. The only criticism I would have is that it would be good to have a seating area whilst you’re waiting for your table. For certain teas like peppermint, the strainers could be a bit a bit smaller to stop leaves getting through and into the cup. Apart from that though, this was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone. I would definitely come back here, as this was a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

I am giving five starts because it's deserved but it could be better. I can't complain about the food, service, live music or anything but for the price I would spect more luxury like a more private room or more attention to clients. I will always remember my experience in that fourth floor at Harrods, the entrance with the doorman, stairs, ceilings and lift. Everything is awesome and inimitable. I will recommend to my friends but it needs just a little bit more improvement to reach 10/10
