In one word, exquisite. Probably a little biased as Marc, my husband, and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary when we tasted this feast. We did have to wait a little while to get service but once sat in The Library, the experience was excellent! We chose to try their "Russian Caravan" tea which had a slightly smoked malty flavour. An Assam or English Breakfast may have been a better choice... Sandwiches were gorgeous! Twists on the traditional. Rare beef with horseradish, cucumber, smoked salmon and chicken all available. Again, we were offered regular top ups. Scones were beautifully warm and without raisins (a plus point for Marc!). Homemade strawberry preserve and lemon curd were served (DIVINE!) with them. Cakes served were again on the rather delicate side and perhaps not the best part of this afternoon tea but still tasty none the less.
