Disappointed. Lovely location and setting within Dukes. Failed to meet expectations in most areas, e.g. bread for sandwiches was dry/stale.

A little disappointed. Booked afternoon tea here as was seeing a friend I hadn’t seen in a long while and fancied a treat. The room was lovely and the server was very sweet however, as soon as we sat down we were told there was a 90 minute time limit which I didn’t think was totally unreasonable but we didn’t receive our sandwiches until after 30 minutes so not much time to enjoy all that was on offer. No offer of sandwich refills which is a bit of a cheek considering the price. Opted for the mini martini version. All very good but the server did spill I little and didn’t offer a fresh one. After the 90 minutes we were told that we needed to finish and leave even though there was only one other occupied table in the whole room. I’ve had afternoon tea in various hotel in London and this is the first time I’ve experienced this. Don’t really think it’s appropriate especially when it wasn’t busy. I don’t feel at all that the experience reflected the service that is expected in a five star establishment.

Our guide told us Duke’s has the best tea in London so we tried it out. The staff was kind to our 3-year-old and the food was delicious!

Our first afternoon tea was exquisite! The finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries were delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend Dukes for an authentic Afternoon tea!

The hotel needs a complete renovation. “Charming” however old and tired. Food and service very average compared to the Ritz or Savoy. Only place we could get a reservation. It started well with service however dirty dishes towards the end remained on the table… server disappeared after tea was served. No explanation of sandwiches and pastries…

Food was nice but waitress didn’t tell us about different martinis, didn’t swap the cheese tart for cucumber sandwich (which she said she would) and no toilet paper in the ladies. Disappointing for ‘high end’ hotel
