Last weekend my friends and I went to Harrods and stumbled across The Tea Room on the 2nd floor. My friends know I have a penchant for tea and fancy things so we went inside to sample the menu. We were dehydrated walking around Harrods so we started off with lemonades. The waitress brought us Victorian lemonade. This is different from the other lemonades as the taste is very bitter. You can taste the ginger in it and the after-taste is quite strong. Being that, one of my friend’s looked like she went a shade of green (lol – bless) but given my fondness of ginger tea, wheatgrass juice and green tea – I quite enjoyed the taste. We then ordered teas, between us we ordered the Early Grey, English Breakfast (there’s always one) and the Mayfair Afternoon Tea which has a more aromatic scent. The dessert list is quite varied but being girls, three of us ordered the same apple crumble with custard and one ordered the Belgravia with a choice of 5 small fancies. The service was ok. It was a very busy Saturday afternoon and every table was occupied.
Don’t make the mistake of comparing this to afternoon tea at the Ritz or Fortnum and Mason. This is a glorified café in Harrods with some pretty cakes. Consequently, the prices are reasonable!
