I've been dying to post that title for ages "afternoon tea at the Savoy" and it didn't disappoint.
We were seated in the Beauford Bar area, adjacent to the Thames Foyer, decorated in a stunning art deco style - black and gold. Absolutely loved it. From where we were seated we could still hear the tinkling of the piano and see the goings on in the main tea area.
The tea selection was good. B really liked the lemon verbana, which had a slight peppermint taste too. After my most recent escapade I was pleased to see tea strainers and attentive tea waitresses.
It was able to cater for dietary requests, but the selection didn't look as tasty as the standard afternoon tea - B wished that she'd blown her special diet. The standard sandwiches were good, but not amazingly special. It did however excel with the patisseries which were very cute and tasty. The scones were nice and were accompanied by the best jam I've ever had!
All in all - I was blown away with the decor, tea was very pleasant and given half a chance, I'd be very pleased to return.
