book for your tea! they do get fully booked !

Everyone has to go to The Ritz for tea once, don’t they? My best mate took me here for my birthday and we had a great time. You get dressed up, you feel important and you drink tea.

But then you realise that you’re drinking tea with a whole load of tourists. That doesn’t matter though. You’re treated like royalty and the food is yummy. I should have rung them beforehand to tell them I have a berry allergy, but I didn’t mind. I just had more scones.

The food looks great. But to be honest, it isn’t as wonderful as you’d expect. But you don’t come here for the food. You come here for the experience. And that experience is wonderful and fun and exciting. It’s about £35 per head and worth every penny.

High Tea at the Ritz is a British institution and should be enjoyed by all of those wanting to have the quintessential English experience. The service is immaculate as expected. The setting of the Palm Court is beautiful and breathtaking. Walking into the Palm Court there is a feeling of being transported back to the 30’s or 40’s when the Ritz was in its hey day. There is a piano player who plays great mood setting music. The best thing though is the food!!!! There is a vast range of teas to choose from and the sandwiches are delicious. The scones are freshly baked and are sumptuous when you add clotted cream and strawberry preserve. There is also a selection of wonderfully indulgent cakes. Dining at the Ritz is a truly wonderful experience and highly recommended.

The bar at the Ritz is grand. And the gin and tonics that they are serving are glorious. Not cheap though. But what would you expect in a place like that. Worth every penny. No trainers please.
