    I have been to afternoon tea at mad dogs a few times and feel this time the experience and service was not as good. Had to ask first more tea and was going to order a cocktail but staff didn’t come to our table only to give sandwiches and cake. General experience lacking that special touch this time

    Our afternoon tea today was perfect, every single person at Mad Dog & The Englishman was so friendly and welcoming. We had the best time and are already planning which theme tea we want to go to next.
