    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.

    Despite booking for 12.15, there was still a wait for the table. It worked out OK though as part of the party were held up due to tube issues. We got seated after about 20 minutes and the service after that was great. Can't really fault the staff as they were super obliging.
