My friend invited me for my birthday to the harrods tea rooms for afternoon tea and it was lovely. She is a vegan and I'm veggie and they went out of their way to offer us the best experience. From little sandwiches to pralines and scones. And you could have asked to get a refill if you wanted to. I extra. The ambience was nice with someone playing live on the piano.
I was a bit disappointed after buying this afternoon tea as a gift for my mum. I was expecting the same food quality of what you buy in Harris’s food hall, instead, it was nothing like that. The sandwiches were ok but not very tasty and the desserts nothing special quite frankly. Yes, you could have more if you wanted to and the service was impeccable, but nothing justifies the price. I was tempted to leave 3 stars but we really enjoyed the Italian pianist Giuseppe who was accompanying us throughout the whole experience. Therefore, it’s a 4, but I would not recommend.
Loved every bit of my experience from the food, the atmosphere, the comfort, the service to the pricing. For £65 per person, you will get unlimited finger sandwiches, cakes and tea plus scones with cream and jam. We took one regular and one vegan menu. Thought it was a great offering on the vegan side, they made a real effort to make it delicious.
The atmosphere is a mixture of relaxed, elegant, romantic, posh and fun. You have these huge tables, distanced from each other to give privacy. There was a piano player while we were there. The staff are professional, helpful and overly posh which makes it kinda fun.
It’s a beautiful afternoon tea, which you can downgrade to just scones and tea if you are on the go and not too hungry for £30.
I’d highly recommend this experience and thought it was actually decent value given everything you get for that price and the fact you are after all having afternoon tea in Harrods!
PS: this makes for a great voucher gift also
