Afternoon Tea At The Milestone

Took my wife to afternoon te because of the trip advisor rating. The tea food was good but the service was way less than what you would expect. Reception and initial introduction was good but all downhill from there service wise.

First time here for me and friends birthday, was not disappointed. Great service and the sandwiches and cake options were excellent. Great setting with lovely surroundings. I’ve been to a few afternoon teas but this place tops them all. Thoroughly enjoyed everything and will return.

Welcoming reception in a lovely old building. Fantastic afternoon tea, with fresh everything which kept being replenished. We've had family afternoon teas all over London and this was right up there. Minor beefs; it was hard to pay! We had to ask a couple of times as we needed to be off and no-one showed any urgency, and the chairs were quite low relative to the table at which we were trying to eat. Visualizza piatti

Four years ago I wrote it’s the best teatime place in the city, I am afraid cannot say the same thing today! The elegance and impeccable service are always there, but the food quality was very disappointing. The scones were crispy like they were reheated in the microwave, sandwiches which were the best in the world for me, were combined poorly or so heavy like the chicken mayo to become disgusting. Tried few cakes and they were so sweet and heavy I could not have more. Please what have you changed in your kitchen? I hope next time to be able to make a good critic.

We had a delightful afternoon tea at The Milestone, which included a special Princess tea for our six-year-old. The excitement on her face when her cake tray arrived at the table was priceless! The tea was excellent, we enjoyed some lovely champagne and our little one was treated to delicious hot chocolate. All of the cakes were scrumptious. The only downside was the wait for the hot scones, as we felt it would have been better to start with them before the cakes. The sandwiches looked appealing but could have used more seasoning, especially the chicken sandwich which was a bit bland. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was welcoming, not pretentious at all, and the dress code was not s...

I apologize for the delay in writing this review, but I feel compelled to share my experience at The Milestone. A few friends and I visited this restaurant in December 2022 for a pre-Christmas treat. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by Yulia, who did not seem pleased to see us, likely due to our differing appearances. Our orders were taken, and we were served sandwiches that appeared dry and stale. The tea was satisfactory, but I have been to other establishments with superior service that treats all customers equally. Despite the efforts of other staff members to make us feel welcome, Yulia's attitude dampened our experience. It is unfortunate that our interaction with her overshadowed the... Visualizza piatti

Being local residents, we have visited the Milestone several times over the past 10 years mainly for afternoon tea. It was always a special and pleasant experience, however when we recently returned to the hotel after a four-year absence, the experience didn’t feel quite the same. We booked for afternoon tea in advance and were disappointed to be told when we arrived that a 30-minute wait is necessary for the kitchen to bake scones... My partner only ordered scones and tea, so she had a long wait whilst I ate the sandwiches and some of the cake offerings with my afternoon tea. The sandwiches were fine; however, the cake selection was very disappointing both in terms of presentation and flavo...

My fiancé and I had booked a champagne afternoon tea service for four at the Milestone Hotel to celebrate his parents' golden wedding anniversary. However, when I called to confirm the reservation for three gluten-free tea services and one regular, I discovered that there was no record of our booking. After making a new reservation and receiving multiple confirmations with conflicting information, we arrived at the hotel only to find that the welcoming atmosphere had changed. The staff seemed different, and we were not introduced to our waiter as we had been in the past. Despite requesting the fireplace be turned on due to the cold weather, we were told it was not possible due to technical i...

My husband and I tried afternoon tea at three different places while in London and the Milestone Hotel was, hands down, our absolute favorite. Our first impression of the hotel was that it was very clean and very beautiful. The doorman was extremely polite and even helped open the door to our taxi when we pulled up which was a wonderful welcome I wasn't expecting upon arrival when the staff didn't even know we were there to visit the establishment yet. The service continued from there with the doors being opened for us and a very pleasant greeting by the host who immediately led us to a quaint little table in the corner that we absolutely loved as it gave us the perfect vantage to see the ro...
