We had a reservation to have High Tea at Harrod s. But we were quite early and thirsty, we looked over many places inside to try and grab something to drink. The place was packed, but we finally found a small table for four at the Burger Bar where we got a lemonade and three diet Cokes along with one small side of fries. That set us back about forty-five Euros. Welcome to Harrod s!

As time was approaching reservation for High Tea, we made our way to Harrods Tea Rooms. Once seated beneath a beautiful flowering tree, we were offered many different types of tea and when my wife was asked, she chose coffee for her High Tea experience. Alas, there was no reproach from our server and he supplied her with coffee. There were four different kinds of sandwiches of which the cheese puff and beef were the best. The pastries were all good however. Service on the whole was a bit lackluster against what we expected.

A side observation, the reservation defined a dress code for the High Tea and we saw several tables with folks wearing restricted items of attire. No one seemed to be refused service if they were willing to pay. So, what s the point of having the restrictions? All in all, it was an interesting experience we are glad we did it.
