Harden's survey result
Summary
Following the refurb of the hotel’s extremely plush lounge bar, fans hail it as “the most amazing new tea salon in London” thanks to its “elegant and tasty” afternoon teas. Pastry chef Michael Kwan’s creations take centre stage, and range from ‘Champagne’ to ‘vegan’ options.
Summary
Afternoon tea in this “stunning” luxury hotel shows “England at its best”, whether served in the Promenade (scheduled for a refurb) or the Orchid Room. It’s a timeless experience, but one that moves with the times – they now serve what may be the poshest vegan afternoon tea in London.
Summary
A “quintessentially British afternoon tea” is served in the Promenade, the heart of this grand hotel – ideal for idly people-watching as you gossip over finger sandwiches, scones and Earl Grey. Needless to say, it comes with “impeccable service”.
Summary
“Impeccable in every way: from the quietly unintrusive pianist in the background, to the service…” – this plush Mayfair hotel lounge is an orgy of opulent soft furnishings with a spoiling afternoon tea to match (plus other luxury bites from breakfast on); “not cheap”, say fans, “but actually worth every penny”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
