The Foyer At Claridge's

I have waited quite a long time to go to Claridges as I am not in London often, but a friend and I make the trip annually to try afternoon tea at one of the big establishments and then review them. Firstly, despite trying to book afternoon tea 3 months ago I was told they were fully booked for afternoon tea but we could have the lunch menu instead. I was disappointed by this and even more so when I got there today to find people either side of me having afternoon tea. When I questioned why there wasn't room for us to have afternoon tea too I was told it was served in a separate area which was full. I pointed out the people next to us and was just given a load of mumbles and excuses. It makes...

Afternoon tea is a meal we don't have time for in our busy working day, so for my husband's birthday treat we decided to go to Clarridges. I was slightly uneasy as tea is served in the foyer and I do hate eating in cold places that feel more like railway stations, but all fears were soon allayed. The foyer was warm and welcoming on a cold wet day, the staff were friendly, we were quickly seated and served. A glass of Champagne was included in the price and the list of tea choices is impressive. Don't want tea? No problem, coffee and chocolate are also on the menu. An appetising tiny tartlet of caramelised onion, goat's cheese and fig was served first, then we were offered a large plate of fi...

I fulfilled a long held ambition and attended for Afternoon Tea on Friday 1 September. My experience more than lived up to expectations, from the moment I entered the hotel everyone I encountered went out of their way to make me feel welcome and special. The Foyer is a true art deco masterpiece and is such an elegant venue, however the true stars are the staff who although very busy, delivered a first class service. My waiter Jairo was excellent, very knowledgeable and I had a good laugh with him he explained the order of service, the various sandwich fillings and teas available and made sure my champagne and tea were replenished regularly. The sandwiches were really good and I was given ano...

I usually don't write reviews, but I had to make an exception today to commend Todd, our waiter, after my afternoon tea experience at Claridges for my 60th birthday celebration. Despite a hiccup with the reservation and a table setup issue upon arrival, Todd promptly arrived to serve us and turned our experience around. He was the best waiter I have encountered, being knowledgeable, extremely courteous, and accommodating to various dietary needs. His engagement with each person in our group of different ages was exceptional and truly made our afternoon special. Todd is a valuable member of the Claridges team and helped change my initial reservations about the process. Thank you Todd for a fa... Reserva una mesa ahora

Arrived to a buzzing Claridges to enjoy some afternoon tea! A friendly warm welcome on arrival. We were a pair of greedy guests and did not say no to offers of more delicious sandwiches and scones! Tea was also replenished regularly, we had several pots! The team were super friendly and we had a good laugh with them. We did enjoy a look around the hotel and I must say everyone we encountered was so friendly and welcoming! Sometimes very grand hotels can be stuffy, not at Claridges!! What a wonderful time we had in Claridges and thank you to the team for making our day so special!

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch in The Foyer and Reading Room. The staff were friendly, polite and very attentive. This is our 'go to ' restaurant when visiting London. The food was delicious and the ambience wonderful. We then enjoyed drinks and desserts in Claridges Bar. Again our waiter was excellent couldn 't do enough for us. George stopped and chatted to us for a while about the hotel which was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Brilliant an excellent afternoon tea. The selection of teas is excellent and the sandwiches and savouries are great but what really distinguishes an afternoon tea at Claridges is the excellence of the staff. They are knowledgable and extremely accommodating. We’ve been to lots of afternoon teas across many of London’s usual haunts but this is the best in our experience. Would highly recommend

I was gifted with afternoon tea at Claridges for Mother's Day and it was truly a fantastic experience. Our waiter, Mario, was calm, efficient, and engaging. The sandwiches were classic (salmon, ham, and egg) but had unique twists, and the pastries were delightful. To top it off, they provided us with beautiful "doggy bags" to take home. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Reserva una mesa ahora

This was hands down the best high tea experience we’ve ever had. The ambience is gorgeous and the tea and food was delicious. Our server, Alix, gave us the best service we could’ve ever asked for. She was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we could ever want. We felt like true royalty and will never forget this experience
