Reviews of Afternoon Tea at Corinthia London

P. C.

Thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon tea experience. The first time I went there was a few days ago with my friend and we ordered the traditional afternoon tea for two which is quite expensive but the service is great. Sandwiches were OK except the egg may one which was my favourite. Scones were simply fab! Desserts were yummy. They have plenty of halal options so we were very happy. We were served by Taylor Fisher who was one of the nicest hosts ever. Very friendly, respectful, and attentive. I requested for a take away box but there was a slight mix up with my box so I was invited today to have a couple of desserts and a cup of tea of my choice which was a fantastic makeup. I gotbto have fresh scones and a delicious cup of tea again. Was served by Taylor again who was absolutely brilliant and knows how to treat his guests with dignity and respect. There was another lady manager today who was very rude to me for no reason and kept looking down on me. Once I requested her for water and she was super unfriendly to me and gave me a negative vibe. Obviously I didn't like that but I just ignored her presence and if it was for her alone, I'd give this experience a minus 5 star however, Mr Taylor made it up with his niceness and professionalism which is why I give this a 5*. If it wasn't for either of these two members, I'd give a 4* because if the sandwiches and value for money. Overall, I am a happy customer and would definitely go again for their amazing tea selection 🤩❤

Truly amazing. Every bite was outstanding. It is on the pricey side but well worth the experience of Afternoon Tea with extraordinarily friendly staff and elegant ambiance.

I've been to afternoon tea at the Crystal Moon Lounge more times than I should probably admit, including twice in the past month. The truth is I'm already looking for an excuse to go back again. Each time is a truly unique and memorable experience, the result of the consistent quality of the food and the outstanding service. The variety of teas ensures there is truly something for everyone and they are always served at the perfect strength and temperature. The sandwiches are expertly crafted bites of perfection; the scones are, in my opinion, the true stars of the show; and then just when you convince yourself that you can’t eat another bite, the dessert trolley shows up. The service is consistently warm and friendly. They are there to guide you to the perfect tea for the moment, striking the ideal balance of attentiveness and helpfulness with non-intrusiveness, ensuring you always have exactly what you need but never feel rushed. The consistency in quality and service is a testament to the dedication of the team – you see the same friendly faces time after time, always ensuring that your tea is elevated beyond a meal to a bespoke experience. Short summary: I spent 6 weeks reading reviews, comparing menus, looking at pictures, etc. before we decided to come to the Corinthia for afternoon tea the first time. Let me save you a similarly exhaustive search: this is the place where you want to take your afternoon tea.

Never experienced afternoon tea like it. Beautiful surroundings, exquisite food and such wonderful staff. Was a surprise for my mums 60th birthday and she loved every minute. Would highly recommend.

We have a tradition to go as a family to festive afternoon tea at the top London restaurants and last Christmas was Corinthia/Crystal Moon lounge turn. And it was amazing, easily in the top three we tried so far and probably best service received (and this include previous experiences at Ritz, Savoy and the likes) For once, the seats are in fact armchairs, extremely comfortable. The food and tea is served from separate trays, which means your table is not clogged up by what you waiting to eat - very smart idea. Sandwiches were traditional and very tasty and had to option to order as many as you wanted (which we gladly took) Scones were warm, soft and delicious, accompanied by very tasty organic jam and clotted cream. Cakes were again very,very good and you could order more. Tea had a very good selection, and it was filled before you could even realize you finished your teapot. And service, as mentioned was absolutely top, our waiter made us feel special, explained the food served and made the whole experience absolutely amazing We liked it so much at Corinthia, that we decided to return last week for a mean at another restaurant in the hotel Well done!

High class, great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food describes this place. We went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. The tea started with finger sandwiches which were flavorful and ea complimented the sandwiches eloquently. Then we were offered several types of pastries, cakes and scones all served by a wonderful staff. Overall, an excellent spot to stop by for your afternoon English tea experience.

Remarkable experience for my birthday afternoon tea. Exceptional service and delicious food.

Another year, another beautiful design. You will find professionals serving you with a great smile and attention to detail. The two-coloured set up and the decoration are well done. Tea and cake, selected and made to perfection. Social distancing measures taken seriously. Unfortunately didn’t have time for a full afternoon tea, but I would definitely recommend a visit to Corinthia’s tea room.

Went for the all day dining menu in the evening at the Crystal moon lounge. The service was impeccable and well beyond our expectations. Violeta, our server, made us feel very welcome and comfortable and we look forward to coming here again.

Absolutely amazing experience, definitely worth visiting! Shame we don’t live in London because we would do it more often. Alex’s work ethics were outstanding! Such a pleasant person with passion to what he’s doing! The quality of teas, sandwiches and cakes couldn’t be any better!!!! This is a place to be if you want to have some great tea and cake in London ;)

We came here for a special celebration and I cannot tell you how great of an experience we had. We were a table of 5, with two members with gluten and lactose intolerances. They catered to them from the sandwich's to the scones. They loved everything about it. They made special sandwiches, scones, and fruit platter desserts just for them. We were blown away, worth the £65 each! The teas and customer service was fantastic!!! No complaints. The Italian gentlemen who was serving us, he was a hoot. We really enjoyed his company.

I visited Corinthia yesterday for afternoon tea with my mother and sisters to celebrate my sister's upcoming birthday and reconnect. The afternoon tea did not disappoint. Extensive tea selection and hot chocolate, lovely spread of finger sandwiches which tasted fresh and delicious followed by warm scones and finished off with a wide selection of dessert treats. Standout for me was the atmosphere at tea which felt celebratory and service which was top notch. We were fortunate to have had Bora see to our table and she made the experience truly unforgettable. Can't stop thinking about tea and planning to return in the next week or so but this time I will be dragging my husband along. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

🛑COMPERING FROM MY EXPERIENCES🛑 Sandwiches and cakes are really good!!! I was really enjoying ❤️ but I would say tiny bit SHAME about services. Some of them really need to learn and training how to treat customer and how to talk as working in 5 stars hotel!!! I asked some waiter about “WiFi is not working?”but he say “I don’t know, maybe some problem but I don’t know” for me very wondering how he trained. Service was quite slow even they asked me to leave soon after 2hours and they never top up my tea, I understand it was Saturday afternoon fully booking but still they could watch around all table (if they are profesional) and would be better if they told us about “2 hours time limit” BEFORE we started afternoon tea then we could have control our time. I know normally if their is busy, 2hours limit table but all other place told me BEFORE!!! Not like “now” also I didn’t like how manager(!?)talked to me... his eyes was not smiling 😒all in my opinion. But food was FANTASTIC especially Vegetarian sandwiches 😍👏so I put 3stars for this, if staff was nicer I would put 5stars.

D. C.

Very nice. Not rushed, (weekday) lots of variety, beautiful setting. Price not to bad, on par with other London establishments. Would definitely visit again.

C. S.

Lovely venue, amazing service. Food was delicious! Our waitress was great and very attentive. Would highly recommend.

H. P.

Perfect hospitality with plenty of scrumptious sandwiches and cakes. The ambience was classic and chique whilst the service simply perfect. Overfilled on the sandwiches and the fabulous tea. Accommodate vegans too with advance notice

I went to crystal moon lounge for the afternoon tea. We were offered a seat under the chandelier with amazing autumn decoration. The live piano was wonderful and the pianist was stopping by our table to ask if he could accommodate us something for our special day which is very sweet. The afternoon tea was delicious and fresh, the crab cake was my favourite, the pastries selection were amazing and beyond my expectation. The scones are really tasty too. We couldn’t finished the whole afternoon tea, it was really filling. The service was perfect and attentive. The whole experience was just so sophisticated. After trying a bunch of tea rooms in London, I could say this place have the best afternoon tea in town regarding food quality, atmosphere and service. Five stars no brainer.

E. D.

The most beautiful afternoon tea, amazing friendly staff and breathtaking venue

We managed to squeeze in afternoon tea at the Corinthia before lockdown and it was the best afternoon tea I've ever had. It's a very relaxing and peaceful lounge with a live pianist, you have a wonderful selection savoury (our favourite was the crab cake), beautiful scones and just when you think you couldn't expect anything more with a wonderful set of pastries, they bring round a trolley of more cakes which you can choose from! It is an incredibly generous afternoon tea with very well balanced flavours. I am already looking forward to my next visit when I can.

The Corinthia has a wonderful setting for Afternoon tea in the Crystal Moon Lounge, the room is delightful with a modern autumnal feel with lovely flowers and chandelier in the middle. The Piano set in the entrance adds a touch of class and the pianist was very good, clearly passionate about his music. It was our wedding anniversary and we were congratulated upon entry and kindly given a cake slice to celebrate which was a lovely touch. Even nicer was the staff taking it upon themselves to change the cake last minute when the fact that my wife does not like chocolate came up in conversation. The sandwiches were good especially the egg and truffle. All meat and chicken is halal however there was a ham option on the menu, a little strange, would have been nice to have been switched to beef instead but this was a minor flaw. The scones were warm and sizeable served in a lovely box to keep them warm. The clotted cream was lovely and smooth and the rhubarb jam preserve was a great autumnal addition. The pastries were delicious particularly the Tartlet and Religieuse. In addition the sharing cake trolley was a unique addition with the Financiers particularly moreish. There is a healthy selection of teas available. The Mango Noir was exceptional as well as the Mellow exclusive black tea, The team proactively provide recommendations which is nice and also took a genuine interest in how we were finding the teas. Having experienced many afternoon tea in London the service was exceptional and up there with the best. The staff were warm, welcoming attentive and professional with a real focus on the little things to elevate and make the experience special. They even asked in a really friendly manner if we would like to take any additional new items home but we were stuffed (although I do regret it now! :). For anyone looking at the top afternoon tea venues in London, Corinthia should most certainly be at the top of the list.

I treated my husband who turned 50 today and we had a great time, he loves his afternoon tea and this ends a lovely day. The staff was excellent and very tentative to our needs without being over the top. Would highly recommend the afternoon tea.

A. K.

Amazing place for afternoon tea! Very accommodating to food allergies, and flexible with arrival times. We got there 10 minutes early because it was raining and it wasn’t a problem. The service was very good, and the food was even better. Very nice that food and tea is unlimited. Our server asked if it was our first afternoon tea and then very politely explained the menu to us. The atmosphere was very fun with the live piano music. Overall great experience and would recommend to anyone.

A. E. D.

Great afternoon tea. Lovely staff

K. H.

Third time I've been now and experience is amazing as always. Staff are knowledgeable and really friendly and the food is equisite. It's on the pricy side but food is unlimited and I always get the rose Champagne afternoon tea as this is delicious. I've been with friends, my partner and my mum for her birthday (birthdays they also bring out a little cake as well if you let them know :) ) and each time has been great. They also change the menu around so you get something different each time. Also if you can't eat everything you can take a little goody bag home as well :)

My wife and I visited The Corinthia on 26/10/2019 to have champagne afternoon tea, having watched a documentary about the hotel last year. The documentary featured the afternoon tea and the Crystal Moon Lounge where it is served. It looked great and I thought it was an experience we had to have. So I bought a gift voucher and presented to my wife as a Christmas present (albeit it was for both of us 😀). The voucher came in a beautifully presented presentation box. I have to say that we were far from disappointed! We arrived for our 4.15pm booking and were warmly welcomed by staff. As we were shown to our table we were instantly struck by the Crystal Moon Lounge and it's ambience and decor. Our table was directly beneath the chandelier that is the namesake of the lounge; and it was perfect. We were offered our glasses of champagne and then given time to look at the choices of tea that were offered; I have to say that we are far from being connoisseurs and the tea sommelier offered us expert advice and assistance in making our choice. We both chose the Darjeeling first cut tea which proved to be absolutely delicious and perfect with our sandwiches scones and fancies. It lived up to everything that was described in the menu and that the sommelier said of it and we ended up having a number of refills. The sandwiches were lovely and were also tailored to my wife's preferences. They were replenished when we finished them and then replenished again! After our sandwiches we were served warm scones with clotted cream and two of the tastiest jams ever. Then it was time for the fancies. Well....all I can say is they exceeded our expectations! We could not eat them all and as such they were boxed up for us to take away at the end. This was our own fault as we ate too many sandwiches and is far from a criticism of the menu We have nothing but praise and compliments for the staff and the delicacies that the afternoon tea offers. The staff were professional, charming, attentive and sociable and clearly knew their job inside out, making our experience wonderful. Lastly but far from being least was the wonderful background piano playing by pianist Kevin Lee. Mr Lee is a truly unassuming yet talented individual who took time to visit our table and speak with us, asking if we had any requests for tunes he could play. We mentioned a few, each of which were played perfectly. Mr Lee really made the afternoon pleasurable. In a nutshell a very well deserved⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. This is an experience we shall definitely indulge in again!

Went to the Corinthia for afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary. The sandwiches and the scones were lovely. The cakes looked good but were a bit hit and miss. Our main issue was the smell of cigars coming from the closed terrace. It made the whole experience unpleasant. The smell was so strong, it was as if they allowed smoking indoors. After complaining they said they were aware of it and assured us they won't smoking cheap cigars - a bit of a joke for the price.

The lobby at the Corinthia itself is beautiful, bright, spacious, with natural light coming in through tall glass walls on one side. The centerpiece hanging in the middle of the room is a very cool light "sculpture", which is just one of many design features that give the space such a great feature. As guests of the hotel, we went to get afternoon tea after a long day at work. Upon sitting (you can seat yourself, you do not need to wait for someone to assist you), we had one of the employees come right over. They explained the process and options, and were very attentive and friendly throughout. We enjoyed the sandwiches, and the individual I was with even had a second round of them. We tried multiple teas, which was very fun. The sandwiches are presented very well, as are the desserts, which come on a tiered tray. A fun and relaxing experience, I highly recommend it!

M. S.

If you require gluten free food don't go to the Corinthian hotel. I went for afternoon tea and all went well to start as the sandwiches were varied and appetizing but then came the scones. These were inedible. They were very thin and they were like chewing rubber. The cakes were reasonable except for the chocolate brownie which had the same consistency as the scones This was an afternoon tea which I would not want to repeat.

J. M. P.

Splendid and worth a visit. Sit down to indulge in one of the perfectly crafted patisseries while enjoying the ambiance with someone else. If you can splurge on the afternoon tea then by all means do. The tea list is impressive and the staff extremely helpful and of course, impeccably dressed.

Lovely afternoon tea, excellent quality and variety and great service all in the most elegant surroundings.

Amazing experience. Traditional afternoon tea was amazing and the service received made it worth every penny

P. S.

It was morning coffee rather than Google's afternoon tea but still lovely. Opulent surroundings and excellent service

S. J.

Excellent service, A1 staff, very very helpful. I didn't like where the table was booked for two. It was like a corridor and not very comfortable. Table for more thn 2 looked much much better thn table for 2. I felt very disappointed where they put the table for 2.

(Translated) I went to make a reservation. As you can see from the other minutes, let's take a corner next to the elevator. I did not like the place, but after asking for a move, the quality of service was not bad I do not want to make reservations for this kind of thing. (Original) 예약을하고갔더니 다른분후기에서본것처럼 엘리베이터옆 구석자리로줍니다 자리가맘에들지않는다고자리이동을요구하고나서의 서비스 품질은 나쁘지 않았지만 이런식이라면 예약을 하고싶지 않네요

(Translated) Delicious sandwiches, tasty scones and a wide choice of dessert! We had eaten more than enough. Very friendly service. It was on the more expensive side. (Original) Overheerlijke sandwiches, lekkere scones en ruime keuze aan dessert! We hadden meer dan voldoende gegeten. Zeer vriendelijke bediening. Het was wel aan de duurdere kant.
