  • What do you get for £100 per person for afternoon tea in London. At £95 per adult and £40 a child.. is it really worth this super high price now? Today I review the famous luxury hotel, The Lanesborough. Let's test the PR invites vs me actually paying!

    Hannah 🎉. You, your sister and nieces are so much fun together 😊. I agree ..overpriced afternoon tea and no tablecloth!! Or a take home box ..definitely wouldn’t go there again. Glad you did, so I don’t have too lol 😂

      A very nice venue but as regards the Lan3sborough but I think for the price even for the varied selection of sandwiches and çàkes etc it struck me as a bit of a rip off.As you said Hannah it would have been nice to have a table cloth and after none to take home either.All in all you ladies enjoyed it all but I would prefer the Ritz for that price..

    My mother would have sent those sandwiches back, and complained about cold scones. Who serves cold scones? That was the worst afternoon tea you have ever had to go through for us. No tablecloths, bah humbug, and your waiter could not pronounce the cakes properly. My mother taught herself to slice quantum loaves (11/2 times ordinary loaf), lengthways in thin slices after removing the crusts, to make her finger sandwiches. She would have shrieked at the terrible egg mayo, we had to finely grate all the boiled eggs for hers, even the cucumbers were not uniformly sliced. Then not to let you take the remainder home. I am showing my age. (My mother once sent her steak back 3 times at the Hilton for not being cooked properly and being tough). You really do give great content. Thank you

      I instantly thought of my mother when looking at the sofa's. They were beautiful but my mother wouldn't like sitting in them while dining and now that I'm older neither would I. Furthermore the fact that you can't take home the desserts is practically a criminal offense.
      In comparison to other tea rooms this one seems to be running their room with a downsized staff. Hence no table cloths, duplicate desserts for the kids etc. But still, Hannah and family made it great fun.

    Beautiful room without doubt! It would all have ended with "stale" dry anything for me! Regardless of my being a chef, it would not matter if it where a simple café, stale is not acceptable. For this price inexcusable! All you both mentioned from table cloth and everything at once is what high tea is about. Tea bags, Sugar strips ect at this premium price! And no take home!
    Yes it seems I am moaning, but when people go to a beautiful grand hotel for something magical, this is a let down of the worst sort. You are right, it is so taking the "P"! The architecture and the room was absolutely beautiful however, and maybe a normal lunch is the answer here? As ever I like going on the trip with you, Your sister is lovely and the children are so well behaved. Thanks again for you special no nonsense delivery. I think I like the Ritz and F&M teas the most.

      Lovely video Hannah, agree ,disappointing for the money paid.Just a suggestion, go to antique markets or charity shops for pretty bits of china and glass also vintage table cloths, make your own cakes and scones or buy. M&S are very good on delicacies. Creating your own afternoon tea could be fun for your lovely girls.

    I agree. I think the table setting and service leave a lot to be desired. Having everything served in one go, means the table is overcrowded and the scones are not served at the premium temperature. It’s slapdash service to save staff coming to the table to check on guests. Teabags!!! And the children deserved so much better. Totally agree about table cloths. For the money, definitely not good enough - they need to up their game! Thank you for testing this out for us and saving us from a less than special and over priced afternoon out! Loved seeing you with the family -great vibe Hannah! 🎉

    Yes I have to agree that £300 for two adults and 2 children being served from a children's menu seems a bit steep. And I know what you mean about getting it all at once. Doesn't that take some of the specialness away? I think of Afternoon Tea as being a bit of an event and the presentation is a large part of it. I agree about the tablecloths too! However, the dining room and hotel were lovely and you were all such good company! So it's a win!

    It was fun to share afternoon tea with you ladies. The girls are growing up and are so beautiful. I would be very disappointed with that tea considering the price. The sandwiches looked rag-tag with the yellow filling on the surface. There should be tablecloths, loose tea and hot water pots. Anytime we’ve visited the UK, we enjoyed afternoon tea in the rural areas and I have to say they had more class for less cost. (Being from the colonies, we would be loading the scones into our handbags. 😝)Really enjoyed the video. Thank you. 💕🇨🇦

    I know you are in London and I'm not but went we went for Mother's day afternoon tea at a lovely local hotel and it cost £87 for 5 of us including 2 children but no fizz. We were able to take things home that we didn't eat, we took cakes, scones and my boys sandwiches home. It was in a beautiful room, linen table clothes and napkins with beautiful vintage crockery too. Feels like these London hotels really ramp up the prices, the cakes looked beautiful but also looked very samey and like what they looked like was more important than taste. The felt like the attention to details was missing maybe with the sandwiches and stuff which is probably why you feel how you do.

    Great to see you as always and for including your sister and the 2 adorable lovely ladies. It would be wise for the hotel to watch your video and make immediate changes and invite you back, comp. I agree completely for $330.00 it was a poor value in a beautiful setting. They definitely need tablecloths, loose tea, nicer sandwiches, and telling adults to share a bun is ludicrous, crown and all. The children’s sandwich’s looked atrocious. And cold scones and runny jam. Really!!! For that price, no thanks. Hope they make changes. PS. Valentine’s tea, not a single thing of Valentine’s.

    I’m from the southern US, Georgia, and the debate on butter or jam first on biscuits rages on here, similar to scones. I’ve always put on butter then jam and when in England I put Devonshire cream and then jam on my scones. Love your videos, I’ll forward to them every week!

      Whether you put the jam or the cream on the scone/biscuit first has practically divided a nation. Queen Elizabeth preferred putting the jam on first before the cream but I've heard that people in Devon prefer the cream, then the jam.
      It seems like you'd want the heavier item (the jam) to go on first so the cream doesn't squirt out the side, lol!

    Hello Hannah, I really agree with you, the experience seems average, I don't like tables without a tablecloth for an elegant tea. I don't book if there is no tablecloth in an exceptional place, it's part of the quality welcome, it's also less noisy and contact is more pleasant. Although this may seem exaggerated to some, it is important to me. the scones must be warm and taking away treats is a pleasure that continues at home....for the price it is important. thank you again for your videos you and your family are charming, have a nice week end

We had a very enjoyable tea and a nice leisurely time. The food was fresh, service was friendly and appreciated that we had time to relax and not overly attended too or made to think we had to leave. So glad I did this while visiting. We went to many of the places you have featured. Returning in the fall again so I'll continue to watch your vlogs. Thank you for all the great content, spot on.

    I really enjoy watching Hannah and her sister showing interesting places to go for tea in London and their practical observations of the food and serviice. I also watched a video about Gentleman afternoon tea which had more savory meat sandwiches, and included fish and chips, did not not leave out the champagne, cakes, and scones. It was less expensive than the more expensive hotels. I had never heard of a Gentlemans afternoon tea. It was on Insider Food from a month ago A British foodie guy showing an American foodie guy around three places that had very good afternoon tea. The places were Swan London, Cafe Royal, and Bridget's Bakery. Hopefully gentlemans afternoon tea does not keep women from ordering the same tea it would be a shame LOL, because the guys seemed to have better food selection and price for their money. Definitely better than the Lanesborough, Hannahs nieces should not have had a choice of sandwiches where any of them were stale. Glad your bach Hannah!

    Delightful video, but have to agree that afternoon tea is a total rip off … no table cloth, uninspiring sandwiches everything served at once and tea bags!! I’ve stayed at the Lanesborough a couple of times and was never overly impressed. The Ritz is far superior for afternoon tea with a nicer more authentic ambience .. btw the Lanesborough used to be a hospital .. one of the rooms we stayed in was definitely haunted .. we mentioned it when we checked out .. the staff seemed to be aware of the fact …

      I should add Hannah that back in the day I was a student nurse at 18yrs in the hospital called St Georges. Which is now where the Lansborough Hotel is now.
      Very strict, lots of starch and you only spoke when spoken to. But it was a very beautiful hospital but quite regimental.
      Having watched the whole video I only remembered right at the end where I was.😢

    Thanks for another fun watch 😊the dining room looked wonderful, it’s a shame the food itself was just okay and there was wasn’t enough attention to detail for the premium price. It’s also disappointing they think they can get away with providing the children with stale food and £40 is still a lot to pay! I was surprised you initially gave it a 7 😂 I thought 6/10 was definitely a fair score.

    Cheers Hannah, it’s Sean in Atlanta. Your sister and her two daughters are just adorable and I’m wondering, did you skip into the room like your niece did? Haha! I would buy tickets for that!
    £300 for afternoon tea and only £10 for shopping? I think you may be a smidge off centre! ( Notice I have my British spelling on just for you!)
    I have to say I was a bit surprised at the names of all the bits and bobs laid out before you! Half of them went above my American head but I’ll bet they were better than they looked! I don’t understand why people get upset with you for using your fingers when it is actually finger food! The pastries actually made my mouth water! I had a bagel for breakfast…
    I cannot believe I have never had a scone with cream and jam, or jam and cream! I must be leading a sheltered life!
    Those little girls are so cute and well-behaved, and they look astounding in their nice clothes! And of course, you and your sister always look beautiful!
    My last comment would be that I would think they would bring these out in a sort of order, so they didn’t get stale or crusty. But what do I know?
    Thank you for taking me to afternoon tea, and I can’t believe I didn’t really pay attention to that Hotel as I walked past it every single day for two weeks the last time I was in London…
    Sean

Thanks Hannah

    Beautiful setting, but I agree that there were too many “little touches” missing. You need to feel thoroughly pampered at these special (and expensive) places! Even just watching, I could feel how average it all seemed. Finally, as a person who can’t eat a lot at one go, I was shocked there were no take-homes! Quite wasteful, as it’s not like they could serve it to anyone else! Still it was lovely to see this beautiful hotel, and your sister and the adorable girls! Thank you, Hannah, for taking us along. Off to make myself a good strong cup of tea now! 😉😘

    Another fantastic video Hannah. I’m a little surprised at your experience there though, albeit I completely understand your comments . We went last year for the afternoon tea and found it superb, probably better overall than The Ritz. Something has changed by the looks of it. We certainly were given the option of taking home the scones (we ate everything else😋) and we did. We thought it felt very calming and serene, compared to Ritz which I feel seems a little more hectic. I do agree completely with you about the lack of a table cloth!
