We had afternoon champagne tea here. From meeting the doormen and having some laughs with them through to the service it was brilliant. It was a very enjoyable experience and a bucket list for us. The staff were fantastic and service was first class l. The hotel itself is beautiful and interior is everything you hoped it would be. We will definitely be back next time too.

My cousin and I attended for afternoon tea. We had a late booking of 7.30pm. the staff were so friendly and attentive. We felt super special being there and it was such a great way for me to celebrate my birthday. I am also dairy intolerant, so they provided me with everything dairy free. Such an amazing experience. Everyone should do that at least once.

We had afternoon tea and couldn't have been more impressed. As you might expect, from the second you walk into the lobby, it is almost overwhelmingly impressive. Staff are everywhere, and can't be helpful enough. We were early, and so went for a drink in the bar. The second we walked in we were being shown to a table, given drinks menus and offered complimentary nibbles. After our drink, we went downstairs to the ballroom, where tea was to be served.
The grandeur of every inch of the Ritz has to be experienced to be believed. There was an excellent 3 piece string/piano ensemble playing as we ate, which just added to the wonderful atmosphere. The quality of the food was sensational, and the standard of service was everything you'd expect from such an establishment. We were offered more sandwiches, tea and cake as soon as someone saw we were getting low and, for nearly 2 hours, were treated almost like royalty. I cannot recommend afternoon tea at the Ritz highly enough. The food, the environment and the overall experience are something to be treasured

Afternoon tea with my Daughter and Son. Such an amazing experience. The staff were so attentive. The food was fabulous and so tasty, additional sandwiches supplied and teapots refreshed regularly. Additional gateaux offered. A surprise birthday cake brought out for me too. We had a fantastic harpist and the whole thing was so opulent. The whole time there we were made to feel so special. Thank you

We celebrated my mum's birthday here yesterday with afternoon tea. It was absolutely brilliant, the piano was beautifully played throughout and even took requests, the waiters were lovely and enthusiastic, doing everything with a smile and the man on the door was wonderful and offered to take a picture of us and even held our bags as he did it. They catered to our dietary needs and provided a great gluten free and vegan birthday cake! We even got a gorgeous box to carry what we couldn't eat home with us it was a lovely afternoon I would highly recommend!
