Scoff & Banter Tea Rooms in City of London, Westminster

Tomé el té clásico de la tarde aquí en agosto, que era fantástico, así que traje a mi hermana aquí para el té festivo de la tarde la semana pasada. Desafortunadamente fue muy decepcionante. El pan para los bocadillos estaba duro y seco. El sándwich de rábano picante y carne de res en particular fue decepcionante: una rebanada delgada e insípida de carne de res en pan espeso y seco con un pequeño trozo de rábano picante insípido. Los bollos se servían calientes, pero eran muy densos y secos y difíciles de comer. ¡Ni yo ni mi hermana pudimos terminar nuestros bollos, lo que es la primera vez para nosotros! El stollen fue un toque agradable, pero desafortunadamente no sabía a auténtico stollen en absoluto, y por lo que no lo terminamos. Los canapés y los postres eran agradables, y el servicio era bueno, pero la experiencia en general se arruinó por la comida no estaba a la altura esperada.

Hice reservas en octubre esperando obtener el descuento, pero por desgracia, fuimos en noviembre: sin descuento. ¡Sin embargo! El personal Vivek & Ishwan era tan amable y servicial, el té festivo de la tarde era encantador y sabroso! Y para nuestra sorpresa, obtuvimos el descuento en nuestra factura. Huelga decir que le dimos una propina por su servicio. Absolutamente recomiendo!

El té de la tarde festiva era excelente. La comida era tan deliciosa, gran cumplido a la cocina. Realmente excelente servicio por Vivek e Ishwar. Fui un excelente regalo. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente

Fui allí durante la hora del té de la tarde. El lugar se sentía clásico con su edad, y disfruté del sonido del piso de madera mientras caminábamos. Pedimos una copa de champán, una tetera, sándwiches y pequeños bocados que venían con salsas para mojar. La comida era generalmente genial, pero lo que hizo la experiencia verdaderamente inolvidable fue el servicio excepcional. El servidor estaba atento, revisando frecuentemente si algún vaso estaba vacío o si quería agua caliente adicional. Más allá de solo cuidar la comida, sentí que ella realmente se preocupaba por mí, mi bienestar, mi estado de ánimo y todo. Esta atención personal hizo que mi visita fuera especialmente memorable. No sé si recuerdo bien su nombre, ya que ha pasado algún tiempo, pero creo que fue Yildiz. Confío en que todo el personal es servicial y amable, pero quería mencionarla porque recibí servicio de ella.

Té festivo de la tarde; sabores fantásticos y servicio fabuloso de Vivek & Lueliy! Una excelente manera de comenzar la temporada festiva.

My mum and I had the loveliest afternoon tea. Our waiter was perfectly nice and quickly decided to move us, since another table was making noise. He was kind, the service was exceptional and the tea, food and atmosphere was delightful. We would definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience!!! The food and tea selection tasted absolutely amazing.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. One of the servers ( name begins with N) was very attentive. I was dining solo and he made me feel welcomed. Can’t wait to go back .

The food was amazing. It was one of the best afternoon tea I had in London. The service was great as well. Cheydna was absolutely nice and friendly.

My daughter and I had a marvelous tea at the Bond Street Tea room. We were warmly greeted downstairs and because we were too early (hadn’t opened yet) they offered us a comfortable seat to wait. At the reservation time they directed us upstairs. We entered to a lovely room with beautiful place settings. First we were offered water (an extra cost but not much and we were ok with it) then they brought out our Prosecco. The waiter carefully explained the ordering procedure and gave us time to look. We then ordered our tea (a pot each). We were given a choice of 2 starters then 3 sandwich flavors, 2 scone choices and 2 desserts (this was each)The tea was excellent, the cheese donuts a delicious surprise and the beef in philo was great. The egg, ham and chicken sandwiches were all delicious. We chose orange and vanilla scones and while both were good the vanilla was best. They were slightly dry but jam and clotted cream helped. Finally the dessert was wonderful especially the vanilla tart with strawberries. Oh my it was the best! My tiramisu and daughters cheese cake were also great. The food was excellent and unique but also more to my taste. We checked lots of menus. But the best part of the experience was the service. The staff was wonderful and attentive and fun! Our main server was Lucky and we were the lucky ones to get him. His manners and smile and bit of humor were fabulous. Neera (hope I got that right) was so kind and helpful especially when we got confused on our bill. You reserve with a CC but don’t actually pay until the end. Yash (I assume was management) checked on us regularly also and kept a sharp eye on the dining room. The price was reasonable and even lower than some of the more famous venues. I thought it was a deal for the great experience we had. Thank you Bond St. Tea room! Just a note. There was some construction next door but we were never disturbed by noise.

Thouroughly enjoyed an afternoon tea here with my sister. A lovely calm atmosphere. Great vegetarian options and value for money. Staff including Lucky and Najib were polite and very attentive. We were looked after very well. Will definitely be coming back!

The service was amazing, so helpful and courteous (shout out to Najib and Yoph), the food was excellent and me and my girlfriend got to try just about everything

Lovely experiance of british afternoon tea! Nice and generous with a lot to eat. The staf took good care of us and were very service minded. They all made us feel welcome. Our waiter was Yash and he made sure we hade a good time with lots of lafs! / Four happy ladies from Sweden

Service was very attentive. My mom wasn’t keen on a particular sandwich and they switched it out no questions asked at no extra cost. The scones were delicious. Such a great find on Oxford Street.

Ambiance very quaint - loved that each person was able to order what they wanted as far as appetizer, sandwich, scone and dessert!

Excellent service from Cheydna, Yashuant, Ishwar and Najib. The food was all delicious and the setting is exactly what you would want for an afternoon tea experience. Definitely recommended.

Lovely experience, the staff was amazing and so attentive. I would recommend 100%!!!

Lovely “first time” afternoon tea experience, we had an enjoyable afternoon!

An amazing experience made even better by amazing service. Vivek, our waiter, was very attentive and friendly. He explained the menu and even provided recommendations. The sandwiches were delicious, scones were savory, and desserts were delightful! 10/10 experience!

The Food was perfection, especially the canapés. As for the staff, a big thank you for your kindness and professionalism. I will definitely come back.

Lovely tea room. Exceptional service and food. Nice selection. Less pricey than other similar options. Incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommend!

My 12-year-old daughter and I had a fantastic time enjoying afternoon tea. The food was delicious, and the staff was exceptionally friendly, making sure we were well taken care of. This special moment was truly memorable, and the price offered great value.

This is the second time we are staying at the hotel, I must mention the special service at breakfast especially from YILDIZ who is a charming, cordial, helpful and kind woman, and also the rest of the staff, who responded to every request, the atmosphere is pleasant and we really enjoyed the morning hosts every day

My first time having afternoon tea, and it was absolutely amazing. Tea was great ! felt were very accommodating, friendly, made my moms birthday a one to remember. Would come back and highly recommend.

We went to Bond St Tea room for our very first afternoon tea. Everything was so so wonderful. The tea pots and cups were so cute, just what you want. The tea was lovely and the food was great, and the room was very cute. But- most of all the people. The people were absolutely amazing. They made the entire experience amazing. We were there for my friends birthday on July 20th at 1pm, everyone we had an interaction with was top notch. Vivele & Samantha i believe were the names. Regardless I highly highly recommend!

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE. We loved it and would 100% do it again, it was very special & the quality of customer service was great.

Too expensive for what they actually offer, i wouldn’t visit again to be honest, the food isn’t at all tasty and wasnt very fresh

Great place and fantastic service, fantastic waiter called Vivele. He also deserves 5 stars and more. Taste was delicious

We had an amazing time! The service was exceptional. The food was tasty - not the best but still good!

Excellent food and service. Would recommend to anyone who wants a traditional English experience.

My friend and I had a fantastic experience here at our first afternoon tea! The atmosphere was lovely, the food was filling, and the tea and Prosecco were great and a much better value than other places I had seen.

Amazing afternoon tea, great food, service and special for Mum’s 50th.

Not that great of an experience. I would go somewhere else. Food was not premium.

When we are in London this is our go-to place for High Tea. The quality, portion amounts, service and price cannot be topped anywhere else. We have been to The Ritz, as well other top-related and this is by far the best food at the best price. My husband requested a Bloody Mary which was not on the drink menu, but the staff made him one and he loved it!

Had a wonderful Afternoon Tea experience in the beautiful Tea Rooms. Delicious sweet and savoury treats with great tea and I loved the Prosecco. The service was excellent and very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Exquisite experience- fantastic food, attentive waitstaff, beautiful venue. The mini Caesar salad and truffle tortellini were unexpected and truly delicious. Scones, tea, finger sandwiches, and desserts also divine- but with some intriguing options as well such as tahini/labneh sandwich. I will definitely be back on my next trip to London!

The staff in the Bond StreetTea room were superb! Special recognition to Yildiz, Cheydna, and Vivick not sure I spelled it right They all were outstanding ! Thank you !

We had a wonderful experience. It was our first time attending a proper tea service in London. The service was outstanding. Those servers took the time to explain the menu and answer our questions.I liked the fact that you could create your own menu. The tea selections were many and you could also select coffee and other beverages. They allowed two hours for the service and that was enough time to relax and enjoy the ambiance.

A very elegant and quaint tea room. We got here, were seated right away, and shown the menu. The foods and tea were delicious.

We went for afternoon tea, the place is lovely! Staff really helpful! The chestnut scones with vanilla cream are Love!!!!!

The service was excellent. I was uncomfortable in our original table due to a sore leg and was moved to a more comfortable one. They could not do enough for us.

Yash was the man! He made our visit to the tea room very pleasant. Our expectations were beyond met with the quality of the food. This should be your first choice when deciding where to get your afternoon tea.

Our experience was perfect, truly perfect! From the moment we stepped through the door until the moment we left. Lovely surroundings, divine food and impeccable service. Vivek was exceptionally attentive with spot on recommendations! We left with great memories of an amazing afternoon. Thank you Vivek!

Die Speisen und der Service waren durchgehend sehr gut.

food and tea was absolutely delicious! our waitress shay absolutely went above and beyond to make our experience just perfect!

Bruschetta of yellow fin tuna tartare, chicken Milanese, smoked salmon sandwich, and rare roast beef with horseradish mayonnaise sandwich were delicious and filling. Enjoyed the tiramisu; the Italian Clementine & cinnamon meringue was a little sweet to my liking. Along with gentlemanly attentive service, I had a lovely birthday lunch.

Amazing, high end experience! The food was absolutely outstanding, as was the service and the tea. The only thing that could have made it better would have been some nice background music.

Came here for the afternoon tea, kudos to Ishwar and Yash for the wonderful service. I especially liked the first 2 dishes; bruschetta with tuna tartare and the courgetti with aioli :)

Best high tea time with my hubby, starting at the front desk from the ground floor to the tea room at the main floor, everyone was very organized, everyone explained what are being served and how big the portions are and what to eat first and what can be a take away. I even got to pick the color of my tea cup (Tiffany blue). Will recommend to friends and family visiting London. Definitely coming back, everyone deserves a raise for being so gracious and accommodating.

We had a wonderful experience at Bond St, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive.

Had a very pleasant tea for my Wife’s birthday. Staff were attentive without being overbearing and extremely polite and friendly. Overall a delightful treat.

Marvellous experience; thank you Vivek for your kind service! Lovely environment as well. Staff very attentive. Food excellent.

Very fine afternoon tea, very nice staff, Yash the waiter is very attentive and polite. We felt very comfortable. The food is very fine. The tiramisu is the best outside Italy. Many thanks for the hospitality.

We celebrated a special occasion here, the food and service are great. Yashvant and the staff team came to bring a surprise desert and sing a song. Wonderful experience and felt welcomed.

Amazing afternoon tea, lovely service from everyone including our waiter Vivek. Great amount of food with perfect selection. Lovely venue. Perfect for birthday treat.

Excellent service and very good quality. Will definitely return next time in London. Easy to get to. Cool environment.

Vivek was super nice, and made our first tea experience amazing. Would definitely come back!!! Strongly recommend it !

We came here after the marathon and we chose the afternoon tea service with a glass of champagne 🥂 Excellent food and what an amazing service! Yashvant was our waiter and he took the time to explain us the menu and to guide us with...

Impeccable service! Delicious cicchetti, delicious sandwiches and delicious scones! Cakes were ok but the cherry pannacotta wasn't a pannacotta but more of some sort of mousse/posset and the cheesecake was very soft and did not taste like a cheesecake, it was a bit strange. Overall, I will definitely book again!

Great experience from the beginning till the end. Very great location (in front of Bond St underground) and inside it’s simply amazing. Delicious food and tea selection. Very prepared and smiley staff. We mention Yildiz who did an excellent job, very attentive and kind! We...

Booked an afternoon tea for my wife as it’s was her birthday. Easy to check in and communication via text and email was great and easy to follow. Staff very friendly and attentive. Good choice of food for the afternoon tea and alcohol available as extra which is very reasonable. Greet location and comfortable seats. Only downside was the music playing in the background was too loud and too modern or at least not appropriate for the clients enjoying their afternoon tea. It really needs some though maybe piano instrumental music - Lang lang would be a good choice but something to create the right ambiance. However service and food was great and reasonable considering it was in the west end.

Trés belle première expérience. Trés bon. Service super et trés sympa.

Service was amazing, food was delicious, definitely going to book again for another event. Went for my mums birthday was a great present.

Heela served us with fantastic service! I would 100% recommend! Filling food and tasty. Worth the experience and price!

Vivek and team provided us with an excellent High Tea experience, especially for us first timers. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Had a lovely time during afternoon tea. The food was delicious and the tea even better. Our server Yildiz was attentive and stopped for a little chat at our table. Can highly recommend this experience.

Beautiful Place and good Afternoon tea. Yildiz and the rest af the staff are very welcoming helpfull and always keeping the tea coming

An amazing afternoon tea with an Italian twist. Our server Josh was friendly and answered all our questions. The food was delicious! Would highly recommend.

Lovely place, great food and tea, and friendly staff! We were looking for a place to try out afternoon tea for the first time, and we were very satisfied with this place.

Excellent food and tea at a good price. Everything we ate was delicious, especially the tiramisu. Service was wonderful! Vivek did a great job and we had a wonderful time!

After looking at what felt like ALL the afternoon tea options and reading way more reviews than I'd like to admit, I ended up choosing Bond St. Tea Rooms based on the cost, location, and stellar reviews. This was our first ever afternoon tea experience and we absolutely loved our time here! From beginning to end, the staff was nothing but attentive and took the time to explain the menu and we could always find someone if we needed something. There was a great selection of food and tea to choose from and even though the courses are small, we were full by the end, so this was a great option for us as a lunch. The atmosphere was also very quiet and relaxing, so it gave us an opportunity to rest and recover during a packed day of sightseeing. I absolutely would recommend Bond St. Tea Rooms!

We initially didn’t want to spend that money for “tea” but after our experience we definitely did not regret this experience. It was lovely!

Lovely to be welcomed back. Also love the fact that we are not rushed - great experience. Thank you.

Afternoon tea. What a treat. Splendid experience. Incomparable pastries. Scones made in heaven. So relaxing atmosphere. Superservice from staff Vivek.

Amazing for those with picky eaters in their party, as you choose a few options from each category. Absolutely amazing service and even better food! The staff was very helpful and considerate for first time tea goers. Already wish I could go back!

The food was amazing and great for an afternoon tea experience, very filling. The service was a bit lacking unfortunately as they were in the middle of a shift change, we had to ask for water and a few other things as we were not being checked in on. It took ~35-40 minutes at least before we had anything on our table to eat/drink.

Nice atmosphere, outstanding waiters, delicious food.

Great spot for afternoon tea, all staff very attentive and smiley. Special thanks to Yash. We had a gluten free and pescatarian and staff were very understanding and provided good options

Wonderful high tea. Food was wonderful and so was the service. Highly recommend.

We had a really nice time where the space itself was smart and the afternoon tea was tasty. The service was friendly and they went above and beyond to make my best friend feel special given it was a birthday treat. I'd recommend this place.

Really good location and nice dining rooms and place settings. Very attentive staff. Menu was lovely although no sandwiches, mini starter snacks instead which were good. Was not impressed that we were charged for extra tea, never happened before. We were also asked on booking if there was a special occasion which it was but no mention of it on the day. Overall lovely lunch, service and location

A beautiful end to an afternoon on Oxford street. An oasis of calm with great food and drink

Came with my 5 year old daughter. The food was edible but nothing special and the sandwiches I found a bit on the dry side. The sweets were okay, except the tiramisu which was very nice. The waiters looked a bit grumpy. The room is really noisy due to building works next door, so I asked to be sat elsewhere. The staff were clearly reluctant to change our seats and proceeded to convince me that it will be as noisy no matter where we sit. I insisted, so we were moved to the back of the room facing the other side, which did make a huge difference. One positive is that we didn't leave hungry, but I wouldn't go there for a special occasion.

Really beautiful location and typical ambience for a wonderful afternoon tea.

Good service, friendly staff There are about twenty different tea flavors on the menu but you can only choose one which is a shame

We booked for 5pm (last sitting) so it was very quiet (which we found ok). The service was very good (staff were very friendly and polite). The food was nicely presented and was good.

I will be calling on Monday. I booked this via a 20% offer and have been charged £90. When infact it should have been £64. We ordered the traditional afternoon tea which was £40

Excellent food, staff were brilliant, very polite and courteous. We pre booked and listed some dietry requirements and the hotel were prepared for those requirents on our arrival. Venue was in a great location, just of a side road on Oxford street (just behind the Disney store) Will go again when next in London

Great place for afternoon tea in central London. Lovely tearoom decorated nicely, friendly staff and good food. Great value for money!

We really enjoyed our experience. The tea was wonderful and the atmosphere was nice. They really did an outstanding job and it represents a solid value for those wanting to experience a traditional English afternoon tea.

Excellent service and great experience - thank you!

I was here from Australia to spend Christmas with my daughter. What a lovely place Bond Street Tea rooms were to have Christmas lunch. Some wonderful memories were made. Thank you to the staff who were friendly and efficient.

A lovely Christmas lunch experience. The three course meal was done very well—food was tasty and festive. Service was good especially considering how busy they were. The room was pretty-an old school English vibe. The surrounding construction sites outside lessened the mood as did an unusual fishy odor in the restaurant which I presume was due to some of the food being served

We totally enjoyed our first Afternoon Tea experience. The food and tea were divine.

We selected Bond St. Tea Rooms based on the great reviews and were not disappointed. The location is perfect. The room just right. The service impeccable and the food was plentiful. One sandwich was dry (probably due to poor storage) but the rest was great. I hope to be able to re-visit in the near future. It was a fab experience.

Lovely afternoon tea. Yildiz Heera and her team took great care of us. Highly recommend!

Very nice Place, very good food. Great experience! I hope to come back soon

I took a client visiting from another country to enjoy the afternoon tea, and Bond St. Tea Rooms was a perfect place for that. We could enjoy a conversation in their sophisticated environment with the service to match. The employees were very courteous and considerate.

Both my friend & I really enjoyed ourselves, the staff were very welcoming, the food was excellent. It was spacious so didn't feel crammed in . Would recommend the afternoon tea & plan to go again next year to celebrate another friends birthday.

It was a very nice experience and we loved the Italian starters. The salmon sandwich was great. The scones was also nice. The deserts were not good at all. We tried all the deserts on the menu and only the tiramisu was ok. The others looked very pretty but did not taste very good. The deserts was disappointing.
