Came here for the Halloween afternoon tea for a birthday treat. Service was great and friendly. Sandwiches were good with flavourful fillings. The sweets were really cute and tasty. Some were too sweet, but generally very good. The scones were delicious. Loved the caramel spread! Portions were generous, we couldn’t finish all of it. Well worth the price we paid.
We visited december 1st, the first day they served the festive afternoon tea. It was a lovely experience! The savoury sandwiches were very nice, although the tuna was a bit too much on the filling. We were offered a second round but did not take this because we already thought the sweet round of the afternoon tea would be a large amount.
This was the highlight! All of the small cakes were very tasty and pretty made. The combinations of flavours were spot on. The scones were very good as well. Loved the salted caramel besides the strawberry jam and clotted cream.
Our server, Roger, was spot on. Very friendly and good advice of the tea. He offered us to have some scones for take away since we did not finished them.
We would definitely recommend this place and specific the festive afternoon tea.
Visited here on Xmas eve 2022 and had the festive afternoon tea.. the service by all waiting staff was absolute perfection! Front of house however could be a bit more engaging.
Our waitress Rajni & her colleagues really made us feel special and took care of us, nothing was too much and they interacted with our children which made the experience even better!
The sandwiches are great as far as non veg options are concerned, and my wife also enjoyed the veg options. The kids didn't like their sandwiches much but that is because they are not so adventurous with new fillings.
Desserts are amazing! Scones out of this world! We also sent instructions re dietary requirements before hand and all our needs were met. The lady that liaised with us by email was fantastic.
Don't hesitate, definitely worth a visit!
The best afternoon tea I have tried so far!! I loved it, it was totally perfect. The flavours were increíble; the amount and variety of everything was perfect and the price was great. It really surprised me because a lot of other places have higher prices por afternoon teas not even half good as this one. Super recommended
Fantastic afternoon tea.
Having taken a trip up to London it seemed only right to take afternoon tea somewhere different. The Hilton offered a Teddy bears picnic themed menu that looked brilliant on paper.
On arrival the very attentive and engaging staff showed us to our table where me my two children found a lovely large Teddy bear each. The bears, promptly named Mr Bear and Harry were joined by the large assortment of freshly made sandwiches (the salmon was very good) followed by some of the best cakes I have had this side of Paris. The attention to detail was fantastic, with chocolate filled mushrooms and chocolate tea cups filled with strawberry mouse were especially good. We couldn't finish it all despite it being so good. The staff kindly offered to box the surviving cakes up and will be enjoyed with a cup of coffee on return home.
Afternoon with Family for my Sister's 60th Birthday🪷🪷🪷. Absolutely fabulous. Staff were brilliant, sandwiches, pastries, scones and cheesecakes delicious 😋. Raj was attentive, informative and just brilliant with our GranSon. Both our GranSon and Grandaughter were given teddies and loved it too. Thank you Hilton Podium Staff for making our day so memorable. God Bless you all. 🙏🏽
My mother bought myself a two person wowcha voucher for Xmas 18, managed to book a table weekend before Xmas and wasn't disappointed at all. Service was great and would always top up your wine, food amazing and quality all round. Would happy attend this restaurant again and would certainly recommend to others. The hilton has a sense of class others cannot match.
Lovely afternoon tea and as it was such a hot day the waitress also offered us juice instead of tea / coffee. Staff were attentive and the food was lovely. Scones were the best scones my mum and I have ever tasted.
I had my first afternoon tea experience as a birthday gift!
Was an amazing experience, delicious teas, extraordinary sandwiches and speechless pastries!
Very pleasant interior, focused on high level attention of details on everything, from music to service!
The best review that I can give would be summarized by saying, money well spent!
We traveled to London, so that we could celebrate my daughter's 5th birthday at the Podium and they were amazing, both in quality of service and their tea time sandwiches and goodies!
For anyone that is on the fence about whether or not they should give it a try, I will tell you that not only do a HIGHLY recommend it, but my family and I will be returning, in the not-too-distant future.
Easily the single best experience that I have had while living in England!!!
The restaurant is a lovely size, set out with plenty ty of space to enjoy your privacy. The staff are all very friendly, attending to your needs.
The selection of sandwiches is just right as the patisserie is so filling as too are the scones!
The selection of teas is excellent, with a wide range to suit all tastes.
I would look for vouchers online as, although this is not the most expensive tea in London, if you can find a better deal, it is well worth looking
Came for the groupon deal: ￡59.95 for 3-course meal with a bottle of wine for 2, which was super nice price for a fine dining restaurant like this. Generous portion, good taste and good service.
Best value for money Christmas Afternoon Tea. Great service, lovely selection of tea sandwiches and beautifully presented pastries. My 2nd time back.
