The Tavern At The Henley Park

It was a lovely afternoon tea. My only suggestion would be to invest in different teapots. It was next to impossible to pour a cup without tea dripping. It wasted much of the tea. Otherwise, very happy.

First, let's start by saying that the pictures are very deceiving. The tea experience was not what we expected. Not commenting on the tea cups and plates used that were very cheap, but the food...that wasn't good at all. It tasted old and of bad quality. The waiter was very inattentive not trying to please us any moment. The price was $60 per person, and we were 4 so when we asked for the check, we paid and the waiter run to see the bill and ran after us because we decided that for the experience and food, $263 was more than enough and did not give him a tip. He started complaining and we explained that the experience and service were not good, so he decided to raise his voice and open his arms around my wife and son making them leave the place. We replied to him saying that the food and the service were not good at all. Definitely, that is not the way a waiter should do. If you did not get a tip means that something was very, very wrong. I will give a tip for everybody: stay away from this place!

Service was just average. food was good. decor aa bit dated.

Afternoon tea:For $60, I can see where this is a good value afternoon tea, is it my favorite? No, but it's also not $135 champagne. As much as I ADORE st. Regis the scones and clotted cream ARE better here! SERIOUSLY. Delicate, crumbly, melt in your mouth, and as warm as the service from Usha and the doorman. The earl grey with lemon and Jasmine tea are absolutely lovely. I do agree that the venue needs soft music. But if you think about the time it takes to prepare these treats daily which they do (try it at home if you want to see the WORK it takes) the $60 is well worth it. It was actually a really nice way to wait out the rain.

Hotel is lovely; a little bit of a hidden gem that I was completely unaware of. Afternoon tea was lovely and very good value. Will definitely go again.
