He estado en el Goring antes para el té de la tarde, que era encantador y me tomé una copa rápida en el bar de cócteles después que me encantó. Por lo tanto, no podía esperar a visitar solo la coctelería para tomar bebidas y algo de comer. Tuve la suerte de que había disponibilidad cuando me presenté un jueves por la tarde en diciembre. Una joven muy acogedora me mostró un asiento en la hermosa habitación. El ambiente era perfecto... ocupado con la gente dándole un zumbido pero no ruidoso. La hoguera estaba encendida y la habitación bellamente decorada para Navidad. Me sirvieron muy rápido con un encantador cóctel estilo tiki y algunos mordiscos. Un poco más tarde pedí los goujones de pescado y algunas papas fritas. La porción era muy generosa, con las papas fritas llenando el recipiente no como en algunos lugares donde ponen papel en ellos y solo están medio llenos y los goujones eran casi demasiado para uno (sería increíble si hubiera un tamaño medio también)! ¡Todo estaba crujiente y delicioso! También pensé que el precio era muy razonable, lo que en estos tiempos es otro punto de venta masivo para mí. Gran calidad por un buen precio. Terminé con otro cóctel, un espresso Bianca, que tengo que decir que fue uno de los mejores cócteles que he tomado, así que espero que permanezca en el menú por mucho tiempo. Todo el personal que encontré fue amable, servicial y acogedor. Mi única crítica sería que los asientos / mesas en el lado derecho mientras entras en la coctelería están bastante juntos. Quizás uno menos sería mejor, pero entiendo la necesidad de satisfacer la demanda y probablemente me alegraría de esa mesa si fuera la única que queda y quisiera visitar. Tuve un par de horas encantadoras y no puedo esperar a visitar de nuevo. Cuanto antes mejor.

Fui por el té de la tarde de cumpleaños esperando un delicioso té. Qué tengo Una taza tibia de té débil. Se quejaron de que trajeron una mezcla diferente Todavía Luke caliente si eso fuera posible. En cuanto a la comida muy pobre 4 bocadillos de dedos cada uno que en justicia eran promedio. Esperó una hora y finalmente se les ofrecieron bollos. No caliente, frío, con indiferente mermelada y crema Luego 3 pasteles , también promedio y para este momento teníamos que salir como solo asignado 2 horas. En conjunto una experiencia pobre y no repetir

Tuvimos el té especial de la tarde "Chelsea Flower Show" el miércoles. Desde el primer momento, el servicio fue impecable. Disfrutamos de cada pedazo de la comida. El "cóctel" complementario inicial era delicioso, al igual que los bocadillos y todo lo demás. Tuvimos unas vacaciones fabulosas y honestamente, esto fue lo más destacado del viaje!

For my birthday I was given a voucher for cocktails and bar snacks at The Goring. The voucher says “To book your experience please contact The Goring using the details below” and lists both an email address and a phone number. I sent an email requesting a reservation, but after a week no reply had been received, and still has not. So I called The Goring and had a very pleasant person take my call who told me that, despite the instructions on the voucher, it is not possible to make a reservation, but if we just show up the team will definitely be able to accommodate us. So, we turned up as instructed and were “greeted” by a woman at the desk at the entrance to the cocktail bar, who seemed very stressed. When asked if we could be accommodated, she was exceptionally rude and barked “as I already said, we don’t have any space and we don’t take reservations. You could come back in an hour but I doubt it will be better. We give priority to our residents anyway” She had not already said this to us, but it seems to another couple who had just left, to whom she was equally rude and brusque (they commented on it as we left). I have seldom been made to feel less welcome, especially at a 5 star hotel. I can understand that the bar was busy. I can understand that staff get stressed, although this is a part of their job. This could have been managed in a much more friendly, constructive and empathetic way, but she chose to be rude and aggressive. I am now in a sad situation of having been given a voucher for a birthday treat, but I have no desire at all to return to The Goring. If I did, what time would that be for them to have space for a non-resident? Why can I not reserve to use my birthday gift? Do I have to turn up day after day to be rudely turned away each time? Very disappointing.

予約は最初ネットから直前に試みた。16時から16時半のアフタヌーンティーとHPに記されていてどういうことかと思ったら、16時から15分刻みで結婚式のバンケットよろしく一斉にサーブされるというスタイルだった。HPから予約するとシャンパン付きのプランしか表示されなかったが、「テーブルのみ予約」で予約して普通のアフタヌーンティーを注文することも可。それがハッキリしなくて結局のところホテルのコンシアージを通しての予約となった。ほぼ満席だったがレセプションは当日の予約も受け付けていた。部屋はホテルのバンケットルームという感じ。雰囲気のある場所ではない。ホテル自体の内装が結構良かったため余計にそう感じたのかもしれない。スタッフの愛想は良く親切だ。ゴーリングオリジナルブレンドを注文し、トラディショナルアフタヌーンティーがサーブされるのを待った。最初にサーブされたのは豆のムースにりんごのゼリーを乗せた小さな一品。これは普通に美味しかった。次に三段トレーがサーブされる。最初にサンドウィッチに手を伸ばす。具の塩味が際立つサンドウィッチだ。お腹が空いていれば全部食べただろうが、スコーンを食べなきゃと2つほど各一口ずつかじってやめた。お次はスコーン。見た瞬間にこれは恐らく・・・と思った通りだった。簡単に言うと口の中の水分を全部取られるようなタイプのスコーン。粉っぽいタイプのスコーンだ。それも暖かい訳でもなくすごく中途半端な状態でサーブされている。これは頑張って1つ食べた。そしてケーキにトライ。見た目からして・・・と思ったがやっぱりだった。見た目も「外国のケーキ」で(要は繊細な感じは全くない)味もその通り(要は甘いだけ)。こちらも一口ずつ2品ほどかじってフィニッシュ。一緒に行った面々も同様。一人はやおら携帯を取り出し写真を見せ、前日にふらりと入った店で食したスコーンの美味しさを熱く語りだし、もう一人は滞在中のホテルのケーキがなかなかだったと、これまた写真と共に披露してくれる。私自身が思い出したのは前日に訪れた某有名紅茶店で見たファンシーなケーキだった。要は「イギリスだからこんなもの」とは全く言えないということだ。これが豪華な内装で芸術品に囲まれながら・・・なら「場所代」の50ポンドと無理やり納得することもできるのだが(至って普通のバンケットホール)。本場英国の紅茶はどうかといえば、これも至って普通。シンガポールのホテルラウンジでサーブされていた紅茶は、場所柄特別感を持って飲んだ訳ではないが「美味しい」のイメージが強く残っている。このオリジナルブレンドは後味スッキリではあるがまあ取り立てて印象に残るものではなかった。同席者の頼んだものも同様。3人で150ポンド。料金は相場で高いとは思わないが「二度とアフタヌーン・ティーには行かない」と言われたのがちょっとショック。お店選択は私でしたので・・・。

We have been guests of the hotel for the past several days, and have enjoyed drinks and tea in the bar and lounge each day. The area has been recently refurbished and is beautifully appointed. Seating is very comfortable. We had no issues with service or the quality of beverages or food items as other reviewers have experienced. In fact, staff came to recognize us in the short time we have been here and have been most pleasant and friendly. Today I left my glasses by mistake and was starting to look in my bag in the lobby for them when the lovely young woman who had served us came running out with them, anxious to be sure I had them. I appreciated that very much. My husband and I were heading back out after dropping shopping bags and having a light bite and some tea, and I’d have sorely missed them.The cheese wafers are housemade as are the potato crisps - and they are delightful bites to enjoy with a cocktail or glass of wine. In lovely weather we understand that there is a plan to have some tables outside in the newly refurbished garden. That will be a treat for guests and we wish could have been so this visit.Especially if you are a guest of the hotel this bar and lounge is a nice place for a pre or post dinner cocktail.

Agree with previous reviewer. the piped musak is a repetitive and bass driven intrusion.

The bar has been given a face lift. Sadly, the improvements did not seem all to the better. Yes, it looks good. But it did before. And gone is the genial master of ceremonies, Brian, who always remembered long-standing customers. I did not recognise one member of the new team and, not surprisingly, they did not recognise us (despite having been drinking here for some 20 years). They have also stopped serving drinks in the conservatory, despite the tables being empty and we were crammed into the main room. There is now a fish restaurant at the back of the bar, although it had yet to open on the evening we visited. The worst innovation is the playing of taped music, some of which had a repetitive base beat which I found extremely irritating. Thank goodness the sheep are still grazing calmly by the fire place!Alas, along with many refurb, the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up: £17 for a martini, with 12.5% service added, making a total of just over £19! We asked for some crisps and were told that "the kitchen is working on that" which I took to mean they were being freshly prepared. Some did eventually arrive, followed half an hour later by some cheese straws, but they certainly did not appear to have been just cooked. In the two hours we were drinking, not one tray of canapés appeared whereas you used to be able to bank on a couple in an evening.Oh well, I suppose this is what they call progress...

The Goring has a Royal Warrant, The Goring hosts the Queen and other royals, The Goring consistently scores very highly on customer feedback and receives gushing press reviews. All well and good. That is just one side of the coin. The other side as already explained to Goring GM S. Geddes is that the Afternoon Tea service that our party experienced in terms of customer service was way off the mark and well below The Ritz, Claridges and other landmark luxury hotels in London. The main issue was attention to our table was lacking, service was lacklustre and only came when requested and even then it was hard work for us.Royal patronage is all well and good. As is making your staff stand to attention when known VIPs are in the room. But when the bread and butter customers feel let down in the long run that will leave a mark.

Afternoon tea with friends for my 50th birthday. I chose this place because I had heard such great things about it. However, it did not meet the mark for me. To start with, we were seated in the restaurant and not in the garden room (due to refurbishment) which I understand, but this should have been made clear before booking. The tables were large and well spread out, which is good, but it did make it difficult to get service. However, when the service arrived it was top notch.

This bar has a constant turnover of people. It feels more like a bus station. Drinks are at high end prices. There is an unusual selection of snack meals but we had to wait 45 minutes for an omelette which was not helpful as we were on our way to the theatre. Lots of staff and managers walking around. But generally this bar is uncomfortable as it is too crowded (at the early part of the evening anyway.)

The Goring es un lugar único para visitar para tomar una copa antes de la cena y disfrutar de uno de los deliciosos toldos que ofrecen a sus visitantes. También es un lugar cómodo y encantador para quedarse. El personal es profesional y amable, nada es un problema y su objetivo es que se sienta lo más cómodo posible. Tienen varias maneras de hacer que se sienta especial: cuando le entreguen su llave, el personal usará su nombre cuando se la entreguen, su nombre habrá sido escrito en la placa donde se guardan las llaves, una cosa simple pero Esto te hace sentir como el personal realmente te conoce. Todos, desde Mister Jeremy (el miembro de la familia que administra el hotel - es un lugar administrado por una familia) hasta Brian que administra el bar, lo tratarán con respeto. Puedes entenderlo, mientras que HRH, la duquesa de Cambridge, eligió el lugar para quedarse antes de su boda con el príncipe William. ¡En una escala del 1 al 10 le daría el Goring 100!

£72 a head special treat , some How expected better service , we were seated in the lounge in very low chairs not comfortable for reaching tea , eating or drinking , and being in a secluded corner we struggled to get service when we needed it ! Whilst the food was fresh the variety of finger sandwiches were not exciting , the scones were cold ( not even warm) and the small cakes exactly that small ! Our teapot was never refreshed so after first cups it was like warm .We had a bottle of water and second glass of champagne pushing our bill well over £200 with included service charge ,which frankly for moderate eats , and poor service was excessive . As a regular diner at the Goring I have previously noted the small portions and inattentive service , I fear the standard no longer deserves the prices sadly . It’s afternoon tea , yes, it’s not special !

We went for drinks in the very pleasant surroundings of The Goring hotel bar which was delightful, until we ordered food that is. Expectations were high for the £26 burger, which was £2 more than the near perfect burger at Bar Boulud in the Mandarin Oriental. Sadly they were dashed with disappointment, it tasted like an unfrozen Birds Eye burger which was cooked in that style too, really not what we were expecting. Very sad for an otherwise exemplary establishment.

An occasional favourite of mine, I met an old friend for drinks and a bite at the Goring bar. The service was charming, really lovely. A beautifully chilled white Rioja helped the stress of the week evaporate and the ambience was just what you want from the Goring. So why 3 stars? Well, I couldn’t help but be underwhelmed by the food. It was perfectly decent but lacked the little bit of ‘wow’ that I expect when I’m dining a bit high end. My friend and I both had the curried chicken and it was tender but very bland with little flavour and no discernible heat.

I am a real fan of afternoon tea so when my friend suggested The Goring on our day out to London I was happy to participate. Firstly, as expected, the service was exceptional and management should be very proud of their staff, The two staff that served us were on their placement year but we would not have known that if we hadn't chatted with them. The crockery was delicate and very pretty but I would suggest getting a cover for the tea pot handles which were extremely hot. Yes, they did come and pour our tea for us but we also poured it ourselves.

My daughter 13 wanted a special tea place to celebrate her birthday trip to London and the Goring did not disappoint us at all. We did reserve ahead of time and got a table overlooking the terrace garden as requested. The service, the ambiance , tea, scones and champagne were delightful. The premises are exceptional and their yellow is so cheerful. If i were to recommend slight review of the sandwiches i would recommend some improvement, the chicken tomato was heavenly though! Amazing experience! My daughter felt like royalty. Bery few places come any close to this!

Lovely triple fried Chips and ambience. Great breakfast every morning. A little cool on back porch but heaters provided that shed plenty of warmth.

Four of us with three of the meals inedible. My daughter gluten and dairy free. Prawn and smoked salmon sandwich. No prawns as "they were already mixed with mayo" so half a dry sandwich.

We had visited the Goring before and loved it. This visit was for a light lunch - the surroundings are lovely, excellent staff and service. Unfortunately, we chose sandwiches and the bread was quite dry - as though they had been made in advance and not covered.

Cadre très agréable en hiver (dans le salon) mais aussi en été (demander à être placer sur la terrasse surplombant le jardin). Sandwiches très bons mais un peu riches, scones délicieux, thé délicieux, service très agréable. En revanche, comme souvent, quand on arrive à l'étage des desserts, ça se gâte fortement. Macaron très sec voir rassis, et les autres desserts sont de la grosse artillerie, très lourd, aucune finesse, jolis à voir mais c'est tout. Peut-être "bons" d'après les normes anglaises, mais d'après les normes françaises, ce sont des gâteaux de supermarché. Il n'en reste pas moins que c'est un bon afternoon tea, que je recommande.

Myself and friends recently visited for a birthday afternoon tea. We have all experienced afternoon tea at various London hotels and unanimously agreed this sadly was the worst. Firstly, the seating was so uncomfortable. We were seated at very big, squashy sofas which meant we had to perch on the end in order to be able to reach the table which got very uncomfortable after a while. The table was not large enough for the amount of teapots and crockery that comes with an afternoon tea so an extra table had been added at one end for the teapots. However the teapots were large and heavy and we constantly had to keep passing them down the table to the people at the other end who could not reach them. The teapots were made of metal and the handles got very hot and my friend picked one up and unfortunately dropped it due to the hot handle. Thankfully it was quite empty and it fell to the floor rather than on anyone. However our main issue related to the service. When we arrived a member of staff came over to welcome us and explained about the different options for tea and asked about dietary requirements. We explained and she went away. Five minutes later another staff member arrived and started explaining the same thing again. The food was nice but portions were quite small and so and one of our party asked if she could possibly have more sandwiches. Around 10 minutes later a large plate arrived with one sandwich in the middle. It looked absurd to say the least. Service was also extremely slow. It was difficult to get the attention of the staff who all seemed to huddle around the till at the entrance. We resorted to standing up and waving our arms in the air. The party at the next table joked that it would be quicker to ring the hotel and speak to the waiting staff on the phone. Overall it was an extremely disappointing afternoon, especially given the price and the fact that it was a special occasion. Sadly I would not recommend to anyone.

El té de la tarde, en un hotel de Londres, es una de mis cosas favoritas. Hermoso entorno, excelente servicio, una gran variedad de sandwiches, scones cálido que se derriten en la boca, la pastelería que es de este mundo. . . . . . usted sabe el tipo de cosa.

El Bar es elegante y tiene un ambiente relajante y acogedor. Tuvimos un cóctel aquí antes de ir a través para el té de la tarde. Sin duda esta fue una delicia al final para obtener la puntuación. Un té por la tarde, bien con golosinas deliciosas a través! El servicio era excelente. La experiencia de principio a fin fue del más alto nivel.

Elegimos este hotel para una cena y decidí Comprobar Hamilton comer en el bar en lugar de el restaurante pensando que sería más rápido. . Pero por desgracia que no sucedió. No estoy seguro si el problema es no tener personal dedicado espera el barman del bar o no prestando atención. Pero el plan para una cena rápida de la luz no fue alcanzado. Nos dirigieron a una mesa y luego nos sentamos durante 15 minutos antes de nuestro pedido. Otros 15 minutos antes de las bebidas. . Pedimos comida.. . La comida del bar. . Y otra esperar largas. además parte de mi pedido fue olvidado. La comida estaba bien, pero toda la experiencia tomó más de una hora y media para 2 bebidas cada uno, el queso, la ensalada y sandwich.

The Goring took our booking several weeks in advance (and paid for in advance) for 16 people for afternoon tea at 3.30pm yesterday to celebrate my father-in-law's 90th birthday. This booking included notification that there needed to be 3 gluten-free teas.

Después de haber estado en los habituales lugares populares para el té de la tarde, pensamos en pagar el Goring una visita. Fue muy fácil hacer la reserva y el personal era muy profesional. Fuimos durante la semana y fue una experiencia encantadora y tranquila! Me encantó la decoración del bar y lounge (tradicional y sencillo) y nos sentamos en el sofá y sillas (en vez de la habitual mesa redonda) que nos gustó mucho. El personal era atento y profesional. La comida y el té eran muy buenas. Lo recomiendo altamente.

Never before have I had a dining service held in such high regard fall so far below my expectations. Indeed, the hotel is beautiful and the porters and staff are extremely polite, and the hotel’s autobiographical booklet proclaims that there have been 4 generations of Gorings overseeing operations. In that time, one might imagine they would have figured out how to do their job properly.

The Goring hotel had the best afternoon tea I have ever had! The sandwiches and scones were out of this world! Every time I tried to pour more tea I quickly had a server come to pour it for me. The definition of luxury treatment. Come here for tea and everyone feels like a Queen!

Cenamos en el salón para dos noches durante nuestra estancia en el hotel y tuvimos una tarde de té durante. La comida informal es muy bueno y las patatas fritas GRASA DE PATO son espectaculares. Nuestro favorito de los aspectos de la sala era el té de la tarde. Las ofertas son frescos y deliciosos bollos y el son luminosas y sabrosa. También tomamos té en Claridges durante nuestra estancia, y aunque este fue un evento más esperados de nuestro viaje, nos dejaron decepcionado y pensé que el té en el Goring fue muy superior. Ten en cuenta que el salón es pequeño y puede ser bastante gente y ruido durante las horas pico, pero el servicio de los camareros y la comida deliciosa sin duda asegurar mi regreso.

If, like me, you are a uncontested fan of the British afternoon tea, the Goring is a place to have at the top of your list. I would actually consider it one of the top 3 London afternoon teas. Exquisite, traditional and so British, everything to have the best time. As February often lets you down with some cold and misty days, we decided to try the Goring experience. Dream! The journey starts at the front door, where the first employees (the doormen and concierge) welcome you with a superbe smile and nice word. Rather nippy weather? Let’s get inside and enjoy everything the Goring has to offer! We had the afternoon tea in the main lounge, which I think is quite nice for such a bad weather. The cracks of the wood burning in the fireplace takes you back to your grand father country house. Incredible. The room is spacious and you have some nice private space, not too close from your neighbours. In the summer, I would recommend the conservatory, lighter and closer to the terrace/garden. Our waitress was Shaneka, and she was divine, professional and so helpful. The Goring is one of these places where you will be served more tea/cakes without having the need to ask and chase for it. The people are looking after you, and this feel great! Very obvious, but the glass of champagne is a must (how could you even consider not having it)! The cakes, scones, sandwiches were really good. On the negative sides: It would have been pleasant to have some Chopin or Weber (piano) in the background. I do think classical music goes in pair with such a beautiful place, and the lack of music made it slightly empty. The room temperature was quite hot, and a few degrees less would have been better. The global experience was amazing and well priced. I would highly recommend. I will be back to try the summer version in the garden.

さすがキャサリン妃が結婚式の前日に宿泊しただけの格式あるホテルでした。ロビーから既に雰囲気があり、ラウンジに一歩踏み入れると古きよきイギリスのクラシカルな感じでとても落ち着いて品がありお客さんもセレブな地元の方でいっぱいでした。値段は張りますが、三段トレーにの下のサンドウィッチとスコーンはお変わりが自由ですが、お腹いっぱいでおかわりどころではありませんでした。紅茶もたっぷりティーポーットでのサーブしてくれるのですが、少し飲むとすぐに注ぎに来て下さり優雅な気分でした。ティーポットサービスですが、途中で茶葉の種類を変える事も可能です。紅茶の種類も沢山あり、フォートナムメイソンのロイヤルティーもありました。イギリスらしいアフタヌーンを優雅に楽しみたい方にお勧めです。
