The Champagne Afternoon tea served as a special birthday treat for my Mum, and ensuring she had a delightful time was my top priority. I'm thrilled to say that she thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite the bustling and well-loved location in the heart of the city, catering to both tourists and locals, we never felt hurried to leave. The sandwiches were simple but delightful, and the kind server (whose name slipped my mind) accommodated a small change for my Mum, who isn't fond of smoked salmon. The scones were freshly baked, the homemade jam was a nice touch, and the Lemon Meringue and Cheesecake were fantastic.
The attentive staff made sure every part of our experience at the Willow Tea Room was a friendly one. From walking in the busy reception to being seated practically straight away for our reservation. The girls who served us and the other staff members we came across were so friendly, a true testament to the Willow Tea Rooms & they deserve a raise.
Overall, it was a perfect 10/10 experience.
Great bargain! The Savoury Afternoon tea is really good: the cheese scone and savoury treats are really tasty! The traditional Afternoon tea is really nice too and quite plentiful even though the sweet scone was a little stale to my taste! Sorry I don’t want to be mean or anything but that’s how I felt it! The service was really great though and the waitresses were lovely and welcoming! Highly recommended!
We booked afternoon tea on a Sunday just before lunchtime, it was very busy so would recommend booking if you're planning to drop in on a weekend. We had the traditional and savoury afternoon tea, and they were delicious, fresh and a great value for money. The atmosphere was great, we had one of the window bench tables and the service was quick and pleasant.
Recommend visiting as they do all day afternoon tea which you can't find in many places, the strawberry tart was also delicious and you can pick a cake as part of the traditional tea, the savoury comes with a selection of coronation chicken puff pastry, haggis cracker, sausage roll slice and mini quiche.
