10/10We enjoyed our visit to the Goring for afternoon tea. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. The seating was comfortable and the way the tables were laid was quietly impressive. Thank you.

10/10Fantastic service as you'd expect from The Goring. The ambience was lovely and the food fantastic, they'd made note on our booking for dietry requirements which was great. Would be lovely if the Terrace was available at the weekend for Afternoon, as I imagine that would make it an even more wonderful experience.

5.5/10It was ok but I wanted better than ok. The sandwiches seemed a bit stale to me (the bread not the filling), and the cakes seemed to all have a very 'perfumed' essence which made them taste ersatz. The tea, champagne and service were all great. We were sat at a long table in the middle of the room which made it feel very corporate and not the Goring I am used to which is dark cosy corners. Still enjoyable but would not go back there for tea again, sorry.

10/10Booked afternoon tea at the Goring for my girlfriend and myself. Great experience - can be compared with the afternoon tea at the Café Royal and almost with the afternoon tea at the Ritz. Luxurious ambience, perfect service, great quality of food, an outstanding experience.

10/10My friend and I had afternoon tea as we were both celebrating our birthdays. The price was very reasonable. Service was excellent from the moment we entered the hotel.. All the staff were very friendly. The selection of sandwiches was very good, we particularly enjoyed the melted cheese one. There was a good selection of teas and the waiter was very helpful at explaining them. During our meal the waiter bought us a special cake with two candles in to celebrate our birthday. We then went for a cocktail and it was lovely to have a pianist playing in the background. My friend misplaced her glove during the evening and on inquiring about it as we were about to leave a member of staff overheard the conversation, came over and said a glove had been handed in. He then went to the lost property room to return it. We both loved the ambiance of the Goring which was very homely and not ostentatious like some hotels. We shall definitely be returning sometime in the future.

10/10Excellent afternoon tea. Delightful cakes and finger sandwiches. Scones were also good but may have been more enjoyable if warmed. Good selection of teas, all served in silver teapots. Service was EXCELLENT, could not fault in any way.

9.8/10My wife and I had a lovely pre-Christmas afternoon tea in fabulous surroundings. As always, the Christmas decorations were beautiful. The food was lovely with more being offered, should we want it. The service was impeccable as usual, the only slight gripe was that the bar area, where we had a drink whilst waiting for our table to be made ready, was extremely cold, as was our table for tea, which was next to the window. However, overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

10/10The Goring is an absolutely charming restaurant just next to Buckingham Palace, a few steps from Victoria station. The staff are incredibly attentive, service is really top notch, food is excellent. I’ve dined here several times before, most recently before attending a Royal garden party with HRH the Queen, and I wasn’t out of place on that particular day in top hat and tails.

9/10The Goring is our favourite. However the order & final bill was messed up. But without any delay by the staff we had the cost of 2 glasses of champagne each taken off the bill. . So top marks for that

9.5/10The dining room was attractive, but even though we had a reservation for 3 months, they seated our party of 3 at an enormous table for 8. When we complained they moved us to a smaller table. The tea and sweet and savory trays were lovely. There was no effort to hurry us along.
