There's nowhere better to savour a delicious traditional Afternoon Tea than The Montague, overlooking peaceful gardens in the heart of London or in our beautiful Leopard Bar.

Our Afternoon Tea includes a scrumptious selection of warmly baked plain and raisin scones, delicious cakes, and freshly hand-cut sandwiches including egg and mayo, smoked salmon, chicken, cucumber, and cream cheese. We ensure we pay proper respect to this special ritual while offering some intriguing variations on the original, with a delicious 'Prince & Princess' option for the little ones.

    If I could give it six stars I would. My wife and I had a lovely experience. The staff was amazing, the food and tea was wonderful, and the atmosphere was great.

    Really lovely venue and the Xmas afternoon tea was expensive for what it was - the scones were flat and dry and the sweet patisserie was very poor and dry and lacked flavour. The sandwiches were the best part and the chicken and almond one went down the best. We also ordered a magnum of champagne and the glasses they served it in were very cheap and disappointing to drink Veuve from… it was ok but wouldn’t rush back as better afternoon tea and patisserie skills at another hotel…

    Food is mediocre. You can get as good, if not better, at any village coffee shop. The exceptions were the mango tea (that is divine) & the chicken sandwich with crushed almond crumb. The rest is nothing special at all. The venue’s decor is tired. Service lacks finesse (a pot of hot tea ended up on a diner’s lap). Tables are too small for the type of food being served & you don’t feel that this is a place where you can take your time. The cost is exorbitant for what you receive. It’s London pricing + some.

    Relaxing afternoon tea in a beautiful setting. They were able to accommodate gluten free diet and also a low sugar diabetic diet. It was the high point of a hectic day in London!
