The afternoon tea is wonderful. The atmosphere is nice and the staff provide good service. The scones are delicious, the sandwiches are tasty and more can be brought on request and the cake selection is good. The only downside with the cakes is, they only bring one of everything; so if you want to try it all, you must share. The tea selection is also nice. Overall, The Wolseley is an excellent afternoon tea experience.
Visited this restaurant for my birthday recently. The good was delicious, ambience was good and service was excellent and as if nothing was too much of an ask. I would certainly recommend and would return. However, I do not think the quality is such that truly reflects the price and there is soom for improvement. So, be mindful of the London prices. All in all, very good!
Wonderful early dinner before the theatre. Everything was delicious, with particular highlights the kedgeree and the fishcakes Arlington. Service was impeccable and the elegant dining room put you in the mood for a top class experience. For the quality of the food and the service, not to mention the location, I would say their prices are fair. We can’t wait to return and try the many other things on the menu that sounded delicious. Thank you for the lovely birthday surprise too (pictured here).
Great afternoon tea experience. It is quite loud so it may be hard to hear your table at times. Thought that service could be better, but it’s still good. Scones, cakes, and sandwiches were all good. I did see a few tables not finishing their cakes and sandwiches which was a bit surprising…
We had afternoon tea here after being this place being highly rated. The atmosphere is amazing if you’re looking for a posh old school place to have a classic afternoon tea. Was a bit disappointed with the sandwiches and scones. The tea was good but the overall experience was probably not worth 55 pounds for the package with a glass of champagne. I would suggest to look elsewhere for the afternoon tea experience at a better price. They didn’t replenish any of our sweets, sandwiches or scones.
Enjoyed the afternoon tea set at The Wolseley. Service was good although the restaurant was full so it was a bit slow at times in terms of refills of tea and sandwiches. The sandwiches were good, some edges on the bread were slightly dry - perhaps out for too long but the sweets were nice. There were options of egg, pickles and cheese, salmon and cream cheese, coronation chicken to name a few. There was a good mix of fruit and chocolate cakes. The scones were definitely the highlight. They were delicious and fresh and the jam and clotted cream was also wonderful. Priced at £40pp for the non alcoholic option, would recommend for a treat or a special afternoon out in central London
I visit today its good wow! The place itself is so clean and comfortable, polite staff every section and This is definitely going to be my place of choice whenever coming back to london🥰👍🏻🫰🏻love to go again and again…🔥🔥 thanks for the services with huge smile. I would say big shout out to them for great services . My server as gone above and beyond to provide me the best services as I was on fasting today and he took the permission from his manager to provide me fruit salad of my choice. Amazing 🤩

Absolutely loved my experience having afternoon tea at the Wolesley! The restaurant is so beautiful and has a lovely old-world classic feel, so if you’re looking for a traditional English afternoon tea, this is the perfect spot. The scones were delicious, soft and fluffy, there was a good variety of sandwiches and sweets (although the sandwiches could have a tad more filling), and the teas were great. Not sure why there are so many reviews about the poor service but my experience with the waitstaff was just outstanding! They were so accommodating of everything I needed, and even offered me refills for any of the items if I was interested. I really appreciated how attentive the service was and it really added to the classy, upscale ambience. The portion size is more than enough for one person too! Cannot recommend this gem enough, I’m glad I was able to visit on my trip to London.
What a wonderful place for an afternoon tea. Beautifully decorated and well-appointed.
The service is friendly and approachable. They explained each of the sandwiches to us, as well as emphasized that it was an "eat as much as you want" situation, with refills on whatever we wanted. We were so full after one round that we didn't refill, but it was nice to have the option.
The finger sandwiches were all amazing. I loved the cheese and pickle so much that I got some Branston Pickle as soon as I got home to New York. I also loved the coronation chicken. The pastries were quite good too, with the poached pear and frangipane tart being a real highlight. And the SCONES... so delicious with clotted cream and jam.
The tea was pretty good, but honestly the food was more of the highlight to me.
Fantastic place. Stylish but unpretentious. Excellent food, served quickly. Beautiful location. Lovely Kedgeree and Steak Tartare.
