Afternoon tea was fabulous. Exceptional service and the best tea we've had this far in London. Green tea with cherry blossom was spectacular (coming from a coffee lover).

We visited for our Anniversary Afternoon tea on a Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival the staff at the reception was just busy doing and not very welcoming unlike to other afternoon tea places we have been to.(where staff is just so welcoming from the door until you get seated). The room itself was very mesmerising especially the ceiling decor. Tables were nicely setup and place itself was not overcrowded. It has a cosy vibe. We started with sandwiches which were different to the norm and generally presentable with the sweet items unique and very. ice to looks at. We really wanted to like it but overall food taste and seasoning was just average, it felt like presentation was put above taste, which was a little disappointing. However service given by a lady waitress was very pleasant and warm They also do top ups of sandwiches and have halal options if requested. Whilst the experience was nice enough there are better tasting afternoons teas in London especially at this price point. With some tweak this could be exceptional.

The waiters was very poor - the woman was slow and never arranged what we wanted & we had to ask and follow up many times on the sandwiches. Then they put everything quickly on the table - seemed like they wanted us out asap. The takeaway service was terrible. I took my dessert home only to realise that the pieces were laid in a big box and they rolled all over the place and looked disgusting when opened. Broken in pieces. Expected miles more from a £100 afternoon tea. Will not go here again.

Afternoon tea in this stunning hotel and restaurant. The price is stunning as well - 100 pounds pp without any add ons. It is served in three courses of sandwiches first, scones, jams, and pastries second and a dessert course last. You get to choose a new tea with each course. It’s all excellent but you can have a very nice dinner for that price.

They even allow you to get more sandwiches if you wish without additional charges. Kids afternoon tea is also available. Family friendly.

The room was too warm and the perfume was so strong. Our table was near the wait station, and our poor waitress was scolded the entire time. She was very kind but the other staff was so rude to her. The constant scolding was inappropriate and made the whole experience unpleasant. It was the most expensive afternoon tea I’ve been too and by far the worst.

Very bad experience with the art afternoon tea. After only 40 minutes we got our first food delivered. They served vegan sandwiches, while we explicitly asked for vegetarian. Loudly screaming toddler at table next to us for 25 minutes, and no waiter taking any action. Woman on the other side next to us waiting at the bar complaing that she had to wait ages for her table to be ready. They systematically offered to put the left-over scones, pre-desserts and art desserts in a box to take home. At home we found out that only 1 art dessert was in the box, and the rest was forgotten. This felt like theft. Highly over-priced experience.

We had the pleasure of experiencing afternoon tea at this gem of a place! It’s not the traditional afternoon tea experience but a more unique/contemporary one. The restaurant itself is genuinely beautiful and the service, so personalized! Our server Joanna was very knowledgeable. She recommended different tea pairings for each afternoon tea course and it made the service all the more wonderful. The food itself was aesthetically pleasing and delicious! The pastries were literally pieces of Art! We were hesitant to eat them. If other places are 5/5, afternoon tea at the Mirror room is a 6/5! 100% would recommend. Thank you Mirror Room for making our anniversary special and memorable.

We chose Rosewood for a family friendly, posh Afternoon Tea experience in London and we had an amazing time. The service, setting, and creativity sets this apart. In particular, the sweet courses are works of art. We also enjoyed the unique fillings in the sandwiches and the scones were A+. Our kids enjoyed the 'Rosewood Explorers' menu for GBP 50 per person which provided a selection of sandwiches with more traditional, kid-friendly fillings along with a generous portion of many of the same desserts that come with the regular menu. One note is the menu is a little confusing on the 'tea supplement' charge - to be clear: most of the teas are included in the fixed price; however there are a small number of 'premium' teas which have a supplemental charge of an additional GBP 19. Overall highly recommended if you're looking for a sublime Afternoon Tea in London!

The BEST afternoon tea in London. I was delivered an impeccable 5-star experience from start to finish at the Rosewood. Each sandwich was savory and beautifully presented, and the pastries (made in collaboration between Chef Mark Perkins and artist John Booth) were intricate works of art that were also melt-in-your-mouth good. With each course, my server, Francesco, provided perfect tea pairing recommendations, and the staff also supplemented the experience by sharing anecdotes about the origins of each tea strain and its significance. I look forward to coming back for tea very soon!

We had a reservation for 12:45 PM and we would need to vacate our seats by 3:00 PM. This two-hour time limit was not communicated to us upon arrival. We were relatively quick in eating our food, but towards the end, we were told that we only had 10 minutes left and were offered the option to move to the lounge. This made us feel quite uncomfortable. Additionally, we were asked about refilling our tea only once during the entire service. It seemed that the staff treated us as though we were children, possibly due to our youthful appearance, but we are almost 40 years old… This attitude was condescending and disappointing, especially given the high-end nature of the establishment.

The atmosphere and service were impeccable. The best you could imagine. We went for the Masters of Art tea time and it was very disappointing. The food, not the presentation; the presentation was delightful. Each sandwich tasted awful. The teas were fine. The scones fine. But the expensive art pieces were just okay. Could find a better tea time anywhere, though not with this type of extraordinary ambiance and service.

Came here for afternoon tea. It was something we had to do while visiting London and we chose this place for the atmosphere and unique art approach. We didn’t eat lunch and had a 3pm tea. We showed up hungry and were full after the second course. But that was fine for us. The sandwiches and scones were the best part. The desserts while pretty were way too sweet and large. Too many chocolate based desserts. If you want to do a tea this is a great one! Nice atmosphere and kind staff.

The afternoon tea comes with 3 different courses : sandwiches, scones and cakes The food is delicious and very well presenting the truffle sandwich is amazing and the pastries are so pretty. The place is beautiful and the staff is very nice. I specified on the booking that it was my friend’s birthday and they gave her a small birthday cake at the end which was very cute and highly appreciated !! We had a wonderful wonderful time. I would advise to book early because it tends to be fully booked. (Veggie option available)

The Rosewood Hotel's tenth anniversary reminded me that I've long wanted to try out their high tea in the in-house salon. The 'Mirror Room' is housed in the side wing of the four-wing, neo-baroque building, whose origins date back to 1912. It is très chic and decorated in warm tones and creates a very pleasant atmosphere. The 'Afternoon Tea' there was inspired by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Vincent van Gogh, David Hockney and Yayoi Kusama and you should take enough time to enjoy it. Almost everything tasted absolutely delicious (especially the 'Petit Brioche' with truffled egg farce is amazing!); I personally found the scones to be too dry and crumbly. To accompany the various courses, the sophisticated teas from 'Mariage Frères' and the finely sparkling champagne from 'Ruinart' were served - always a sure bet! But special praise goes to the charming crew, who accompanied the event with a lot of warmth. Bravo! 🥂

Afternoon tea here looked promising, the idea of a theme isn't new, sadly the arts tea, despite the high price didn't include tea, that was £19 extra, some of the art cakes needed to be cut in half to share, I'm not a tea drinker and I mentioned that, but it was ignored, I drank 1 cup basically £19 for that, service was unprofessional for a hotel of this standard... I think it's back to the Shard, where you have the view, or Claridges, or anywhere else but here.

Great experience for afternoon tea. The service was great and our server would recommend different teas for each course. We got unlimited choices of teas and refills on sandwiches and scones. The beautifully crafted desserts are very rich and therefore very filling. We were barely able to finish everything by the end. I would highly recommend this experience.

I chose this place because it is located in the beautiful Rosewood Hotel and I thought it would be amazing. Dont get me wrong, its good but nothing that knocked me out as I was expecting. Nice setting and good service. Great selection of teas and limited quantity of sandwiches but they offer to refill if needed. They had a nice touch because they brought me a special little B’day cake (my birthday was 2 days before and they ask for your date of birth when booking, I didnt specify it). Maybe I will try to hace some traditional ones like Lemon Drizzle, Battenburg Cake, Victoria Sponge, Bakewell tart or my favourite Golden Syrup Pudding. A mixture of traditional and new would be more balanced. The best for me were the scones and jam…really well made, delicious jam, clotted cream and lemon curd. A bit small but one of the best I have tried so far. The hotel is so beautiful that it is 100% worth going and I loved my experience but I wouldnt go back again because of how much chocolate they use.

Can it be more disappointing? I went to Rosewood with my husband, sister and brother in law. I had such high hopes for the afternoon tea at Rosewood only to be utterly disappointed. The afternoon tea consisted on 3 courses, namely 1) sandwiches; 2) scones & pre-dessert: 3) Dessert. We ordered at around 12:15pm and the first course was served at 12:25pm. And this was when things started going downhill, as one of the sandwiches was missing. And then the server spilled tea all over the table as they collected the teapots. We finished the sandwiches rather quickly but the second course only came at 1:14pm. And we had to wait for the new pot of tea. The last course arrived at 1:49pm. At around 2:10pm, they came to say they need the table back in 10 minutes (when we have not even started eating the last course), as the afternoon tea was supposed to last for 2 hours (claiming that they expected us to have already left at 2pm - even though the last course came only at 1:49pm, it’s obviously our fault that we were so slow). Eventually we were evicted to the bar on the side with terribly uncomfortable chairs. If they need the table back at 2pm, they should have let us know in advance and they should surely have brought us the food and tea more quickly to avoid all the idling time in between. Just as you thought it cannot get any worse, when we left and my sister tried to collect her coat from the cloakroom, the staff said they cannot find it. My sister had to get into the cloakroom to search for it herself only to find that her coat was lying on the floor, and the staff didn’t even bother apologizing. If you wonder about the food, it’s alright. All in all, 5 star hotel with 1 star service. It was absolutely a letdown.

The Art Afternoon Tea at The Mirror Room was, in my opinion, one of the finest afternoon tea experiences. It offered an impressive selection of rare teas, artistic food presentations, and a classy ambiance, all housed within Rosewood London. Chef Mark Perkins deserves kudos for infusing his artistic talent into the delectable pastries. It's no surprise that Mirror Room is acclaimed as the best contemporary afternoon tea in the UK. Our server, whose name I unfortunately forgot, was excellent. He provided detailed explanations about the teas' origins and suggested superb food pairings. Beyond the appealing aesthetics, the food tasted exceptional. Having traveled from the US to London for a memorable birthday celebration, I have no regrets choosing this venue. While it may be pricier compared to other afternoon teas in the area, I can confidently say it's worth every penny. I highly recommend the Mirror Room for a truly phenomenal experience.

First afternoon tea experience in London (and also celebrating our wedding anniversary), and among all the options we decided on Art Afternoon Tea at the Rosewood. It's a super classy, truly aesthetically pleasing experience, both in terms of the decor/ambiance and the food. Sandwiches and pastries were good (some looked better than they tasted admittedly), but the teas were wonderful. The mini-cake for our anniversary was so impressive that I almost felt bad eating it! Service was a bit inconsistent, as there were times when it was difficult to get the attention of a host/hostess, but one young lady (unfortunately didn't catch her name, but she mentioned she was from Fulham after we told her we were attending the Tottenham-Fulham match) was incredibly attentive, explained all the teas to us, and gave great recommendations. Generally an exceptional afternoon tea experience, and worth the stop!

AVOID especially if you have allergies, the staff does not have the appropriate training. Our afternoon tea experience turned into disaster as the first course contained nuts and my partner had to be rushed to the hospital with a severe anaphylactic shock. Upon arrival we reminded the staff of his allergies, and we got very confident responses that everything would be taken care of. When the first course arrived, they once again mentioned that my partner's food was free of his allergens. He trusted them and took a bite and instantly felt something was wrong. He asked the waiter what exactly was within the sandwich, and the waiter responded "Beetroot and chest... Let me check with the chef". The staff took an extremely long amount of time to come back to us with an answer, they were all talking amongst themselves without an update for us, meanwhile we were already looking to see which hospital was nearby. When they came back they said "The sandwich contains beetroot and chestnuts, which you will note is not a nut." To which we responded that chestnuts were absolutely a nut and he was clearly having an allergic reaction. We left with no apology from the staff, in fact the rest of the party at our table told us that staff were still arguing that they did nothing wrong. I would argue that serving nut to someone who is deadly allergic to nuts is, in fact, gross negligence. They did not even come to clarify at the start of the meal whether chestnuts were okay for him.

The kitchen was informed that a member of our party was deathly allergic to nuts, and 3 members of staff acknowledged his allergy and assured us that there would be no nuts in his food. They proceeded to feed him a sandwich filled with chestnuts, which immediately triggered his life threatening allergic reaction. When we confronted the staff to ask about whether the sandwich had nuts, they took over 10 minutes to find out the ingredients, before informing us that there were indeed chestnuts in the sandwich. They claimed that their pastry chef believes that chestnuts are not part of the nut group, and refused to apologise or admit any guilt. He was rushed to the UCH hospital where he had to stay for the whole day. Thankfully he had his epipen on him, which stopped his throat from closing up on the way to the hospital. The staff at the Mirror Room maintain no guilt, and claim that chestnuts are not part of the nut allergy group. This is completely unacceptable and I worry they will continue to poison people due to their ignorance.

Not really impressed with either sandwiches nor the cakes. Cakes looked extremely unappealing and unappetising in those unnatural colours and taste was fine. Sandwiches were fine as well nothing special nor what I’d expect from this place. I asked if the jasmine tea comes as a jasmine flower and was told yes but it didn’t - all were loose leaf teas and that was sort of disappointing. Service was good but I had hard time understanding the heavy accent of the server to be honest.

We are very regular customers and have been staying and dining at the hotel for several years. Usually we enjoy afternoon tea and I used to think it was quite good value compared to other 5* hotels in London. I booked afternoon tea having not gone for some time. I wish I had checked the prices as the cost of the afternoon tea is now absolutely insane. I actually feel a little upset to have discovered how much we paid today. Firstly we noted that the quality has significantly decreased. The sandwiches and scones are still good (the staff seem a little meaner when offering extra sandwiches compared to in the past). However, the cakes weren’t very high quality. They were all stodgy sponge-like cakes with very amateur-looking icing - it was almost funny how basic they looked. They all tasted pretty similar. I like yuzu but it was used in every other cake! The cakes tasted cheap and weren’t very creative compared to the past cakes. I won’t be having afternoon tea in the Mirror Room again as despite being wealthy, the prices are just ridiculous, especially after the very noticeable decline in quality. There is no way afternoon tea should cost that much. It’s a shame as the room is lovely and the tea selection is great as are the sandwiches. They also wanted to charge £50 I believe for my 4 year old who ate 1.5 finger sandwiches and two mouthfuls of cake! Thankfully they did agree to let him share ours after checking with someone more senior. In the past it has been no extra cost for very young children. The service was fairly good but not very warm. I’m not surprised that the restaurant was almost empty at the time (my husband had just told me that he overheard some hotel guests discussing the shocking price increase for afternoon tea and saying they would go elsewhere after I told him what we paid today). It’s such a shame a once truly luxurious hotel that did everything perfectly is squeezing customers so hard and not delivering in terms of quality. We also drank in the bar shortly after and it was pretty average with decent service. The new cocktail menu isn’t very interesting and frankly, it sucks compared with the old one which featured 3 blind mice, bubble and shrubs, sipping with Churchill etc. This was our favourite hotel but I’m not sure I want to return sadly…

The tea selection was great- I would be surprised if anyone can’t find a tea of his or her liking. The selection of pastries was excellent and arranged in a proper order.

Service was excellent, cocktails were good and the food looked pretty. Unfortunately it tasted quite mid. Not bad, just mid. Tried quite a few things, nothing was particularly remarkable :(

They add money for a charity on to your bill and don’t tell you. Fine print at the bottom. Absolutely ridiculous.

I found the pastry level to be quite low when compared to the tea times at Parisian palaces.

Back for another visit to the rosewood london, this time for 4 days. Had breakfast in the mirror room each day and what I have to say is you couldn’t find a better breakfast dinning experience in london. The room, decor and table settings are beautiful. Each day we were greeted by the hostess, a delightful young lady who was always smiling, with a very positive nothing is too much trouble attitude. She seated us every day, sorry I don’t have your name but thank you. To the servers and other staff in the mirror room you were all outstanding in your attitude, service and attentiveness, this does not go a miss or unnoticed, Once again thank you to you all. Not forgetting the food, this is nothing short of amazing each and every time we stay. So tasty and well presented on the plate makes it extra special each time you dine. From my family to you all thank you for making our stay so great ❤️

The Hockney Art Afternoon tea is a feast for not only the taste buds but also the senses. Visual creations and confectionery that captures the essence of pure art.

Beautiful experience overall. We had our anniversary day afternoon tea here 🍵🍵 the cakes were inspired by Hockney🎨 They all are delicious, although some of the sandwiches could have been better. We were happy with the service and the place itself. 👍🏻

Wir waren vor Jahren schon einmal zum Afternoon Tea im Rosewood. Damals war es eine wunderschöne Erfahrung. Der Art Afternoon Tea war gerade erst erfunden worden, der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich und die Törtchen kreativ. Das Alles trifft leider nur noch in Ansätzen zu. Der Service spulte sein Programm nur so runter, entschuldigte sich zwar als wir eine 3/4 Stunde auf den letzten Gang warten mussten, aber lies uns danach wieder im Regen stehen, so dass wir wiederum eine halbe Stunde warten mussten, bis wir nach der Rechnung fragen konnten. Dann ging es allerdings blitzschnell. Die Sandwiches waren lecker und gut abgeschmeckt. Der Kuchen war leider durch die Bank zu süß. Aussehen ist nicht Alles und Yuzu Schokolade auf fünf Törtchen spricht auch nicht gerade für Kreativität. Schade für uns stimmten Preis und Leistung nicht mehr.

The waitress with vitiligo was super rude and kept ignoring me when ordering everyone else’s order for some reason. Will not recommend the service but the food was decent. They also kept forgetting to refresh our tea. And they took away our silverware so we had to ask for a new one midway through. Service is honestly really bad for the price point. Get better and more respecting staff please.

Food is good and beautiful presentation. However, the pastry seems like all with the citrus touch. If they have slightly different flavors would be better.

The best afternoon tea I’ve ever had in London, and it’s my second time to come. If you could visit London and try the British afternoon solely once, this is absolutely the only choice.

We had afternoon tea at The Claridge,The Langham,The Mandarin Oriental,Fortnum&Mason, Harrod's But...The afternoon tea at The Rosewood is the one we will remember for ever. Top quality service and the best scones ever. The themed afternoon tea for David Hockney was heaven. Thank You

I did mention that we were celebrating birthday when I confirmed the reservation but nothing was done nor a single wishes was made. Kudos to the chef for the creativity of the desserts and the interior designer for the effort on making the venue Hockneyfied.

This might be a good tea for you if you like very sweet/complicated/fruity flavors. I didn’t like any of the desserts and I thought the sandwiches were only OK. Scones were excellent. My friend was lactose intolerant and they were able to accommodate, but the lactose free scones were unfortunately awful. Atmosphere is nice but the food is just not good enough to recommend this tea.

They shouldn’t be advertising they are a great breakfast place etc, they reserve for hotel guests only and they should make it clear before folks travel to be there.

This was the worst experience while my 2-week trip to London. The service wasn’t just horrible, it didn’t exist. Our server left without letting us know, and another waitress just kept ignoring us. We were left without tea for an hour. No apology or acknowledgment from anyone at this place. The sandwiches were ok, but the deserts were not tasty at all. On top of that, we were given one portion of desserts to split. What if you attend this tea ceremony with someone you do not want to share your food with? This is just bizarre. You literally need to cut your dessert in half and split it with another person. Who thought of that. After such an abysmal experience I felt robbed. I wouldn’t pay for this food and “service”. DO NOT GO THERE!

Hidden gem, best Turkish restaurant we have ever visited – and we have tried a LOT of places. Family-run, clean, cosy decor and very hospitable. We will definitely be coming back with family and friends. Especially recommend the Adana kebab!

It was a wonderful surprise, we felt like we were in Portugal. When we entered the restaurant, the lady said good morning! The restaurant only speaks Portuguese, the menu is all in Portuguese and the food is typically Portuguese. During lunch, we chatted and came to the conclusion that the owner of the restaurant and my husband are from Portugal. We were very well looked after and the food was delicious.
