Afternoon Tea - just right
Booked at fairly short notice to have a champagne afternoon tea. Generally really nice, just what I expected. A bit quiet at 2.30pm, but we had a great seat, watching the Trafalgar Square buskers and mime artists.
The champagne was nice, the sandwiches were fresh, the petits fours were very rich and beautiful, the scones buttery. Somehow qualified for a deal on the price as well - was £19.50 each when I think I was expecting £21.50.
The tea (loose leaf, Earl Grey) was good but either there was too much tea in the basket, which made it go stewed very quickly, or it had sat already for a minute or two before being brought to the table. Second pot the same. Would prefer a different kind of teapot where you can more easily take out the tea-leaf-basket, or for the tea to have full circulation in the pot, and a strainer over the cup. Unlimited refills though, so I suppose we didn't really need to get second cups out of the pot!
Will come again.
