    Fantastic!! Service was top notch and we were seated at a lovely green velvet couch by a nice window. Food was delicious and they accommodated my several allergies so that I could still enjoy the same experience and food quantity as everyone else. I did not feel stressed at all as I sometimes do when eating out over the food options/ cross contamination. Really did great and was much preferred over another afternoon tea I had in London

    We had our champagne afternoon tea in a quiet small room off the reception area with only another couple present. The room was cosy, and seating was fairly comfortable. Service was efficient, polite and courteous. The finger sandwiches were quite tasty, while the tea we selected was pleasant to the taste. Scones were warm and with the jam and butter were probably the highlight of the visit. The glass of champagne I expected would be of better quality! For the price we paid altogether it was too much of an extravagance!

    The staff in the hotel are excellent. Very attentive and friendly, from the foyer to the tea room and in the conservatory. I booked an afternoon tea for my sister-in-law and family. Great tea with scones served separately to keep warm. Inevitably we had to take some away in doggy bags as we couldn’t eat it all. We had a vegan and someone who doesn’t eat pork in the group and this was very easily catered for including them realising to swap out one of the cakes for another because it included pork gelatine. The sitting room was cosy and although others at tables, it didn’t feel like the sometimes cramped and overly busy atmosphere you can get in other afternoon tea venues where you feel like you’re on a conveyor belt until the next sitting.

    Beautiful high tea experience - pricey but pretty average in cost compared to Ritz, Savoy, etc. Liked that it was a small room so it was fairly quiet. Can't say enough how lovely the staff was! And the tea and food was delicious.

    Very good afternoon tea. Service was impeccable. The food is very good and there is plenty to eat. We didn’t have any room left for the scones so they even proposed take away bags with clotted cream and strawberry marmelade.

    We are very disappointed at our afternoon tea. When we come to the Milestone, they informed us at there was a wedding booked. So we must sit in the pub room, it was very cold there. We have ourselves booked afternoon tea at 15.00 för at least four weeks ago. When we sad to personal at we are disappointed to sit in the pub, they said we can sit in the afternoon tea room. But we must be ready in a 1 hour and 30 minutes. When the tea and sandwiches and cakes come we drink and eat, and when we are finished they ask us if we want to have scones also. We think it was wrong, we should have the scones first and after we eat sandwich and cakes. Nobody told us at we should have scones. It was my women's birthday, so we are disappointed for celebrates and we think it was very expansive for the service and afternoon tea.

    It was my birthday and I expected really good service. We were the first to arrive at 1pm and it took them almost 45mins to bring any food !!! We were told by the manager that it was not a fast food restaurant ! Insult to injry !! We are well travelled and only go to the best restaurants. This was NOT up to the standard we would expect from a Leading Hotels of the World group >

    They take their afternoon tea seriously at the Milestone. The entire hotel staff seem geared towards making your visit special. Lovely room, excellent tea, sandwiches, cakes and hot scones. We had the champagne set, which, at 100 pounds for two was fully priced. The problem is too much food - you feel you're overpaying because you couldn't possibly finish everything (and we skipped lunch in preparation). I also felt that the breads used for the sandwiches were a little on the thick side. Still, all these criticisms don't add to much; the overall experience was excellent. We have been a few times over the years and never disappointed.
