    A lovely festive tea. We had dreadful issues getting to The Savoy with nightmares on the tube and were 45 mins late. We rang to tell them and staff were wonderful- kept our table for us and were not rushed at all to get through our tea Big thank you to the staff for that. Service was excellent from Guiseppe- explained everything and very attentive..Got a second helping of sandwiches for no extra cost. Delicious. Especially liked the egg brioche. Lemon curd was also a winner with the scone ! Also very happy for us to take home the cakes we couldn't finish in beautiful box. Our table was lovely- round and in the corner. Savoy beautifullly decorated and a wonderful Christmas treat. In my view the refurbishment is fantastic. Absolutely love The Savoy - our go to place for special occasions.

    We went here today for the Charlie & the Chocolate Factory Afternoon Tea. It was beautiful! Staff were so welcoming and our waiter, Pio, was attentive, helpful and friendly. Such a terrific way to take an adult experience like high tea and make it suitable for the whole family. Our two girls loved it and had their fill of hot chocolate and fairy floss. They even came away with a copy of the book and a lollipop. A fabulous experience. Highly recommend it!
