Elizabeth Brown Review of Fortnum and Mason
Lovely afternoon tea, one of my all-time favourite...
Lovely afternoon tea, one of my all-time favourites. Each segment of the afternoon tea is refillable, so you can have as many rounds of sandwiches, scones and cakes as you want. Then you can choose a slice of cake from the trolley to either eat their or takeaway.
The only reason I am marking the experience down a star is because our waiter, Adrian I believe, was excessively pushy and kept insisting that at least one of us (I went with my husband) had the savoury afternoon tea, which neither of us wanted. I think we had to tell him 'no thank you' about six times. When I ordered my pot of tea I was then told by the waiter that my selection was wrong and that I should choose from a different part of the menu. From experience I know that I can only usually drink a single pot, and wanted to try the one I had chosen, which for the price I think I have the right to do.
This wouldn't put me off going again though, the other waiters we have had in the past have been faultless.
