A friend and I went for afternoon tea at St James’s Hotel. We are seasoned afternoon tea-ers and St James’s had been recommended to me by my son who has both had lunch and dined there.
The staff were charming and provided a friendly but professional atmosphere. There were sufficient guests there to add a buzz to the place but not so many that we were crowded. At no point did we feel rushed or hurried along.
The tea was delightful and substantial and we left happily with a box of leftovers each as neither of us could finish it all. I was also pleased that they offered decaffeinated tea because that is not always a given.
We agreed we would both happily return there on another occasion for tea or to dine.

The restaurant was spotlessly clean, cosy and just the right atmosphere. The staff were helpful, pleasant. The food was hot, very tasty, well presented and plentiful. It was just a bit hard to find, but dont let that put you off. The exterior was decorated beautifully , very welcoming., Would definitely go back.

The service was very average. Staff were friendly but service was slow and not the level I expect from a 5 star hotel. I had booked the bottomless prosecco deal and it took approx. 20 mins to get a glass of prosecco and we had to ask for it, The waiter then brought over two empty glasses and came back in a few minutes to fill them.
When the afternoon tea food was served we had to make space on the table, I normally expect the staff to ensure the table to clear enough for the cake stands, before they bring it out,
I had also asked the waiter if he could take a photo of us (wanting a picture of us with the food / drinks etc.), the waiter said he would come back and did not, we could see him behind the bar on his phone. So we began to eat. I like to take photo to make recommendations on my blog
