We attended the Tale as Old as Time afternoon tea today and had the most wonderful time! The staff - from the moment we arrived - were fun, friendly and attentive! I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail, not just in the food and decoration but also in the story links behind the food choices!
I thoroughly recommend this hotel for afternoon tea and would love to return at some point - thank you to the staff on duty this afternoon; you were amazing!

I was at the Kensington yesterday for Tale as old as time afternoon tea. It was absoloutly fantastic. I travelled from Newcastle to have afternoon tea and it was one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you very much to all staff you are all amazing x
Myself and my friend had the Beauty and the Beast afternoon tea yesterday to celebrate her special birthday. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The food was gorgeous and we loved the whole experience. The fact that the hotel acknowledged her birthday was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend!
We attended The Kensington for the Beauty and the Beast afternoon tea, it was amazing so much food and drink and everything was very tasty and nicely presented, the service was excellent and the staff made us feel so special it is definitely worth a visit ☺x
We went to the Beauty and the Beast themed afternoon tea. Gorgeous venue, classy, with helpful efficient staff. Everything about it was perfect. From the baguette shaped brioche, the quality of the tea, the mousse in the Chip cups. Highly recommended.
We visited yesterday for the 'Tale as old as Time' Beauty and the Beast tea. We had booked it for our anniversary treat. We loved every minute of our time there. The staff really looked after us well. We really enjoyed the food and all of the Beauty and the Beast touches. The staff also accommodated our requested change in the sandwich selection without any problems. I was delighted to find out that you have extended this afternoon tea into next year as I know it booked up pretty quickly. We loved it so much that we have already booked to return next year to celebrate our daughters 4th birthday.
I went yesterday with my 2 daughters to celebrate their birthdays we went there for the Beauty and The Beast afternoon tea. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. We ordered champagne to go with the tea and when the manager found out we were celebrating two birthdays, he said the champagne were on the house!! Well done The Kensington Hotel.
Had the Beauty & the Beast afternoon tea today & it was a lovely experience from the minute we stepped into the hotel. The service from all the staff was very good & especially Thomas who was extremely friendly & helpful.
The food was excellent & my daughter had cakes for her minus the chocolate which was a great touch & meant she didn’t miss out. All the little touches with the beauty & the Beast items made it really great. We throughly enjoyed it & would recommend it.
We had a lovely time, staff were amazing and very attentive, food was lovely, some slightly more child friendly options and a lower charge for kids would be good. Overall a really lovely special treat for any beauty and the beast fans !
I can only say that my experience was excellent.
Staff were very welcoming, wonderful decor and authentic Italian experience.
The eggs Benedict and egg’s florentine were perfect and so was the coffee.
Very reasonable priced for the location.
Would definitely recommend
Food good. Service great. Environment up to expectations. A great place to grab lunch if you happen to be in the neighborhood.
Chuc's Kensington accommodated our party very graciously as originally we were booked for terrace seating and ultimately moved indoors due to the weather. I thought I had changed the booking online, but when we arrived our host clarified the situation and was able to get us set up inside in no time.
Both restaurant hosts who served us were extremely attentive, helpful, and were a big part of making it such a lovely and memorable evening!
It had a very classy and welcoming feel with thoughtful artwork hanging making it feel like you were really in Italy. There was a real welcoming living-room feel throughout. The bathroom was very spotless as well.
Thank you for such a pleasant experience and for providing such a wonderful character filled space!
Arriving at the Cafe, we were received with a very warm welcome by the absolutely lovely, Samantha! All the staff were attentive and knew when to come to the table. Food was fantastic! My steak was cooked perfectly and of course I had to taste the tiramisu! (delicious!) The decor is fresh, modern and bright with an Italian feel. Highly recommend!
Our server Tatiana was very friendly and welcoming greeting us at the door and showing us to a table outside. When my friend had questions about the menu Tatiana was very helpful in explaining the dishes and giving recommendations. She made our afternoon!
Good prices and quality food. You can eat outside which is very nice!
Love the fresh food and the service was great .
Warm welcoming by friendly staff, my breakfast was good and breakfast champagne made me vibe, clean and cozy atmosphere
We visit every summer Monday we are in town (have a house nearby in Kensington), to sit outside and for their fantastic £5 BYOB/corkage special. We used to visit with our two beloved dogs before they both passed away and it is pretty much the only place in the neighborhood we visited with them that we still visit now that they are gone (the rest make us too sad to go without them).
Great staff also - just wish they would get the Padron peppers back!
A nice cosy place for a Sunday brunch. Nice and tidy outdoor seating space. Good to book in advance as it can get busy for weekend brunches.
Wanted to try a traditional English breakfast and arrived a few minutes too late for breakfast. However, the manager, she asked the chef to make an exception and took our order. Great breakfast and service. Nice environment with clean bathroom.
Great place to grab a casual bite at lunch or dinner. Nice selection of tasty Italian dishes. Always friendly service and the terrace outside is great when the weather is co-operating! Highly recommended for a catch up with friends or business lunch.
Super polite staff and lovely outdoor area. Wifi works ok as well. Toilets very well supplied with towels. The coffee is very well balanced. Definitively a nice café to have brunch or drinks in the evening.
