We have just returned from having afternoon tea at Harrods, something we'd been looking forward to for quite a while. Frankly, it was a disappointment. The best thing about the whole meal were the scones - 2 huge gorgeously soft and fluffy scones each. Otherwise, sandwiches were very mediocre - any roadside caff would do better, all you could taste was the bread - there was no 'rose-petal jelly' with the scones (as advertised on their web-site), and the 'tea-pastries' turned out to be 2 tiny slabs of cake (Sainsbury does better fruit-cake), an portion of overly rich chocolate praline tart and a choux pastry stuffed with cream (after all the clotted cream with the scones this was a bit too much). The tea itself was alright, but, again, nothing special at all. We had to ask the waiter to bring milk and lemon. They packed the 'pastries' we couldn't eat for us to take away, but, I'm not sure anyone will want them - they're sitting in the fridge looking sad and oh-so-not-appealing. Price for the privilege -£24; the web-site says its £21. I could thing of far better things to do with £72. Would have been a far better idea to have bought the scones in Harrods' food halls and had our tea at home with proper sandwiches and cakes from M&S.
I had a fantastic meal there and have since gone back for afternoon tea. the prices are very reasonable. The quality of food is very good and my waiter was very aware of wines and the dishes. When I had afternnon tea, everything was how I liked it the sandwiches were divine, my only crticism was that they only served fruit scones and i much prefer plain ones however they do the same at the Ritz and althogh the palm court is lovely the value of Harrods was far better.
I would describe my experience at the Georgian Restaurant as atrocious. We were not given a drinks menu and the standard of English spoken by the waiting staff was nowhere near average.
We were led to believe by the first waiter that we could change the type of tea later on, as he didn’t bothered giving us the menu at the beginning, but it turned out differently. Service aside, the food at Georgian Restaurant was okay and the servings were generous. However, I would not recommend this place.
I had afternoon tea in the Georgian Restaurant and I really enjoyed it. The prices were a little extortionate admittedly, but the service and atmosphere made it more than worth it! I'll be back to the Georgian definitely!
