I think a cloth on the table would be more appropriate. More like a cafe feel. Maybe that's what is meant, but thinking afternoon tea would be a little different. Drinks came up too soon, no room for them on the table. Maybe a top up of tea would have been nice. Perhaps as I had an Australian visitor with me I just wanted a bit more traditional afternoon tea As described above.

30% off for Afternoon Tea week was a definite bonus although 12.5% service charge ate this up. Asked about extra food and wanted £5 charge! We did have to find the waiter to ask for more tea. Would have preferred more attention. I had mentioned it was my friends birthday but they didn’t do anything although other tables were given a cake. Not a bad location and light bright area. Curtains could do with renewal. Kind of average overall but considering the general price of other venues ok.

Overall the afternoon tea was good. Having been on quite a few afternoon teas in London this one was not at the top of our list. Sandwiches and cakes were nice. The scones were very small and need to be much bigger. Two pots of tea were ordered, one for me, and one for my daughter, but no one came and asked if we would like a refill. Although we could have asked we feel this should be offered. This also applied to the sandwiches. We did get this afternoon tea with a discount, but was charged 12.5% gratuity on the full price, not the discount amount. Not all of the afternoon teas we have attended have offered extra tea or sandwiches but those that have we would return to and feel this is a generous gesture.

Really lovely experience overall, the service was top notch and the seating area was beautifully decorated. The food was nice and filling but the egg sandwich had no flavour; I didn’t have the ham but my sister said it was very good and salmon was great. The scones were a bit too dense and so were the sponge cakes, but they were good overall. I loved the macaroons and the chocolate tart. From 4 of us I was the only one to try the tart, the rest did not like chocolate orange flavour combo. My sister ordered the afternoon tea mixer and it was delicious. She also went with cappuccino rather than tea and was less than impressed, it was very milky and had no foam. She is lactose intolerant so asked for oat milk, I’m unsure if the barista is used to using it. The rest of us all had different teas, I didn’t ask for the brand but mine lacked flavour (it was Earl Grayish). The rest said their’s was ok. If you are going there soon choose a stronger tasting tea e.g. English Breakfast.

I came to have afternoon tea with my friend as a treat for her bday. I informed the staff when booking and in addition to the attentive service and the lovely cakes & sandwiches in a relaxed atmosphere, they brought a slice of birthday cake for my friend to wish her. Really nice touch! I would recommend The Clermont for afternoon tea without hesitation.

Sandwiches taste fresh but sweets are not that good, cakes & scones are dry. The tearoom was quite empty on DOV.

The ambience here is really good here and we were met with a warm welcome. Where this place needs improvement, is the quality of the food. The sandwiches were stale and lacked a proper filling. The scones were small and cold. The cakes section was quite delightful. I found the service to be ok, and slightly hurried towards the end, as if they were annoyed that we were still there. Would I go there again, probably not as the overall experience ok, but not wow!

Everything about this experience was amazing. The staff, location and food were all way above average. The dining room was beautiful with great views. Everyone was very professional and attentive. Last but not least, the food and drink were superb. I highly recommend afternoon tea at The Clermont.

Really nice, traditional Afternoon Tea and the English Breakfast tea was plentiful with a good taste. The sandwiches were a bit boring, but I suppose that's traditional. The scones were bite sized with lovely jam and clotted cream. The pastries/cakes were just right, not big, and they were varied. The venue is really convenient and the setting felt right - Afternoon Tea in a nice hotel in central London. Ideal for a tourist treat, though we are Londoners ourselves.

We are new Londoners who wanted to experience an English afternoon tea with a friend. We selected the Clermont because it looked like a beautiful setting at a reasonable price, and we were not disappointed. The hotel itself is GORGEOUS and the dining room felt very luxurious. The food was delicious (and there was a perfect amount too - we did not leave hungry), lovely pot of tea and glass of bubbles, friendly service and a beautiful sunny view out the window. We would absolutely recommend the afternoon tea here to others.

We booked the Coronation afternoon tea deal at £65 for two. It started off well with a friendly greeting and us being able to choose our table and then our drink and tea orders were taken. The afternoon tea and drinks arrived promptly and then that was the last service we had for the rest of our time there. No check back, no offer of purchasing more drinks, no offer of more tea, table not cleared half an hour after we finished. After we had attracted a server’s attention to get the bill we asked for the service charge to be removed. The server agreed with no problem but didn’t ask if everything had been ok. When I explained the reasons why, she agreed they were valid reasons but no apology was offered. Such a shame that the experience was let down by the service, as the afternoon tea was exquisite with the exception of the scones which were small and hard. Maybe they were just having an off day or maybe staff need better training but it wasn’t very busy and afternoon teas are easy to serve as everybody is having the same thing. Would recommend for the afternoon tea but improvement needed to service.

The food was good, however a broader variety of different teas and sandwiches would have made the experience even better. The service was excellent and the ambience was lovely.
