The best restaurants serving British food in Warwick City of London, Westminster London

I booked the Clermont for afternoon tea to celebrate my sister’s 60th birthday in June 2024. The location is extremely convenient, just around the corner from Victoria train station, and the hotel foyer and tea room are both beautifully decorated. However, considering the price of the afternoon tea, £45 per head with the service charge, we were extremely disappointed to be served half a chocolate tart each (see photo)! What should have felt like a luxurious experience was made to feel cheap and cost-cutting. I doubt it was due to a shortage in stock as our tea was booked for an early slot at 12.30pm. Also, there was only one other table of guests at the time. And if it were the case that the kitchen were running low, surely it would have been better to substitute the tiny tart with another item rather than cut it in half. Apart from that, the rest of the tea was satisfactory but the scones were very small and when we asked for more, we were told we would have to pay another £40 for a new menu. Again, not the feeling of luxury for a special occasion we had been hoping for. The server was happy to refill the tea though. To sum up, the location and decor were well worth the price but the tea experience did not meet the same high standard.

A beautifully decorated pub, located near the Victoria Coach Station. I stopped by them to quench my thirst, after a trip from Portsmouth. OK service, good beer, I would come back.

We visited on a very busy Saturday night - bouncers were quick to de-escalate a potential situation in a calm way which was great to see. Also barmaid Lucy needs a special mention for such great customer service!

Relaxing atmosphere with good food and drinks. There was great service from friendly staff. Love the decor.

Habitación encantadora con personal de camarero muy amable. La presentación del buffet era encantador y buena comida. Recomendaría alojarse en este hotel cuando esté en la ciudad.
