The decor is the first thing you'll notice when you walk in to this grand room. It is very elegant and royal. The china is precious and delicate, with a sweet floral design found on the teacups and plates. The customer service is flawless; the waitresses are kind, gentle, and curteous, asking if we need any help, refilling glasses of water and teapots, and describing the delicious things that we will be eating. There is lounge music played very very faintly in the background to add to the pleasantness of the room and the sound of people's conversations. The large hall does not amplify the sound, so you can pleasantly have a conversation with your friend at a normal volume, and hear them perfectly. The food is served in bitesize pieces, each taste is different and rich.
Menu Recommendations
The afternoon tea tray is a perfect choice because it includes a little of everything. There is a perfect mix of a variety of flavours and textures and is surpsiringly filling. It is served in a sweet gold tray with three 'levels'. The plate on the top has 2 savoury tartlets and 4 finger sandwiches. The next plate down has several different desserts, 2 of each (see picture above). The last plate down has 2 scones, that are served with jam and cream, and 2 spinach and cheese pastries. It is a perfect meal to share with a friend, as there is two of everything.
