Afternoon Tea at The Egerton House Hotel

Very quiet nice tea! My daughter had the vegan tea and enjoyed it. The vegan and regular teas looked the same on the trays and that was very nice.

My experience at this restaurant for afternoon tea was delightful. The staff were friendly and kind, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just right. I would suggest dressing up a bit, as it is a 5-star hotel after all! I was wearing sneakers (a must for exploring London!) and felt a bit underdressed.

Apparently they were very busy (just as a side note I booked in advance) so we were seated in the downstairs “breakfast room” rather than in the lobby level afternoon tea room (the room that is advertised with the nice tea sets and cute sofas an quirky tea room interior). That was already very disappointing. The room was in the lower ground level, it had a few breakfast tables, but otherwise felt empty and in addition the doors were closed. Luckily, another family arrived and was seated in the same room as us, so we felt a little less isolated and abandoned afterwards. The food was not even average in terms of quality, the sandwiches and scones were OK, but the cakes (although there was a selection of them) were not good at all. They were dry and somewhat tasteless. Definitely not reflecting the price! The friendliness and kindness of the waitress was the best part of the experience. She was extremely nice to us and to our dog. Overall, the afternoon tea at the Egerton House Hotel was disappointing and massively overpriced (we paid £184 for two including one glass of champagne each and the dog’s menu). The only benefit of this experience (or let’s say the only experience) is that you can bring your dog. But is it worth it? The answer is most definitely NO!!!!!!

The staff was incredibly warm and hospitable. Overall, it was a fantastic and delightful dining experience.

Experience a top-notch afternoon tea featuring delectable cakes and beautifully decorated macarons.
