COST: £23 per person
Part of the Doyle Collection, The Kensington Hotel has just reopened after a £20million renovation. First impressions were great. The renovations have been finished to a high standard.
My friend Mandy and I discovered it because they were offering a special deal on afternoon tea - 2for1. They had a great selection of teas and the sandwiches were lovely. There was no option of extra sandwiches - not great when I have been used to this (at The Wolseley and Four Seasons). Once we had eaten the sandwiches, the scones and cakes were delivered together. The scones were lovely and served with the usual strawberry jam and not so usual passionfruit curd - yummy! The cakes on offer were ok, but having the sweet things delivered in one go, we were both feeling the effects of a sugar high. A sandwich would have been nice but as these had been served separately this was not an option. My friend and I agreed that the ambience was fantastic but the quality of the tea didn't quite match, so not sure we would return.
A photo of the afternoon tea from their website... it didn't quite look like that in reality...
