    Our hostess Antonia was wonderful. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The new decor is beautiful. Only slight complaint was paying £32.50 for a glass of fizz. We did have a lovely time though.

    I really hate to say this, and I generally don’t write reviews but felt the need to today, I honestly was disappointed. The ambiance and Christmas decoration was second to none, but for a coveted and pricey booking I expected exceptional food quality and more importantly service. The food was good though not exceptional, but the real disappointment was the service. Our waitress was excellent, run off her feet and very attentive she had any time, but the facts demonstrate that she was too stretched. Tea arrived late, and was often cold and empty/not refilled, condiments arrived late and were repeatedly asked for etc. I don’t treat myself (or my mother on this occasion) often, and having decided to splash out on a high tea at the savoy I expected a decent staff to guest ratio. Sadly this lets the experience down and as a result I feel like it wasn’t worth the money. Well done to our waitress who tried her best when understaffed for the level of service expected.

    All the staff were very welcoming and friendly, always smiling. Chloe was our waitress for the day, she was great and explained the menu brilliantly. Kept checking on us and interacting with us. It made my wives birthday celebration special, birthday cake and note from the staff wishing her a happy birthday were a nice extra touch. Thank you to all the staff at the Savoy.

    We had a lovely experience at The Afternoon Tea. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were delicious and we were served by Delightful Dylan who smiled throughout the service and was professional, polite and explained all of the different varieties of cakes and sandwiches with enthusiasm. Thank you Dylan for making our afternoon special and Happy Christmas!

    My husband and I had the Festive afternoon tea at the Gallery , Savoy Hotel and what a wonderful experience it was . From entering the building one was greeted and guided through to our seats where the server for our experience was Sia. She really could not do enough for us. She explained the menus and drinks . We had the vegetarian menu and champagne . In the background we were entertained by the pianist and Christmas songs from the singer . The staff also brought over a cake to celebrate my birthday ! 5 star+ experience , fabulous food ,drink and ambiance .We would highly recommend a visit.

    We weren’t aware that the foyer had been renovated, the atrium is no longer there & therrs a bar in the middle! Not as nice as previous years! Hardly any Xmas decorations. Quite disappointing. Will be looking elsewhere for next Christmas
