Harrods afternoon tea is from £59 per person.
You can book it in here: www.harrods.com/en-gb/restaur...
You should be able to book only a day ahead. For Saturday bookings I would give it a few days ahead.

Not at that price. So many other places in London to go to which are vastly better than that. Dry sandwiches are inexcusable.
Wow. 136 euros for tea and cakes. Thank you for posting.
It is actually in pounds 😃to be fair my wife ordered some fancy Harrods water for £6.5 as well, but still
Albert
€ = Euros £ = Pounds
As of this morning the Euro is 1.10 in the U.S.
And the Sterling Pound = 1.29
So it was more expensive than you thought. 😳😱
You forgot to mention the Sandwiches 🥪 😉
Sugurt 🤗👍😘🥰
Perficet 👍😆🥰💞💖💋
@@TimeToDessert sugurt 🥰💞💖💋👍
Very interesting. Especially about the dry sandwiches and seasoning
Left overs from the week before.
Clinged and wrapped air tight.
Had tea at the Ritz, London. Dry sandwiches
@@thecook8964 That's terrible, especially as I'm sure it was expensive at the Ritz. Love to know, where to go for a lovely tea, with fresh sandwiches.
Thank you for a lovely, honest and informative video
I´m so glad that I found your channel again!!!! I´m living the life through your experiences until I can get out there myself. Love it. Thank you for sharing!
Think I will stick to having tea at home!
I thought the same!
Me too. Homemade scones just out of the oven and fresh sandwiches.... No dry bread :)
I think these kind of restaurants are more suitable for both social and business meetings but not normal occasions for sure
Thank you for sharing your experience! It is an experience. The sweets look delicious, but the sandwiches look over the top, the fact the bread was a bit dry is unacceptable. You two make a lovely couple!
$189 USD for afternoon tea for two at Harrods! You must be kidding! I do not consider myself a stingy person, but I can think of other ways to spend my money more wisely. While in Tokyo, my travel partner and I had absolutely delicious afternoon tea at a top-class establishment at Ginza for a lot less than this.
How much would you recommend saving for a trip to Tokyo ?(maybe like a 4 day trip)
You're back!!!
Awesome
👍👍
Try the food courts in the basement of Harrod’s - same food, same desserts - 1/10th the price!
What price is to expect ?
@@maximhollandnederlandthene7640 .. Takes some simple math ( I hate math lol ) so what is 1/10 of 136.95 pounds ? That's how much the food in the food court in the basement would cost 3:34
@@QueenlySweetpea simply move the decimal point one to the left .. 1/10 of 136.95 = 13.69 or rounding up to 13.70
Aunt Beth,
What do you get for your £14? Serious question.
In the older, perhaps better days, Tea was a necessary marketing expense.
Merchants put out as nice a tea as they could manage at a not-off putting
price, meant to reward customers for coming, hoping once fortified and
properly plumped they might actually buy something.
For example, Harrod’s back in the Olde pre-Fayed days offered Afternoon Tea.
It was £5. and it was a dessert buffet with tea included. If there were scones
or finger sandwiches, I do not remember them. What I do remember was an
assortment of twenty or more pastries, cakes and sweets, of which you could
have a serving of any, or all, with seconds.
Coming all the way from the colonies, it was not an everyday treat. So I would skip
Lunch on Harrod’s Tea day in order find the fortitude to leave a serious dent in the
patisserie service after the second or third assault.
Were those the good old days?
Yes, I believe so.
Repeated assaults.

Thank you for your objectivity in this critique.
Love this series. After watching I will be making a reservation at Sketch for an upcoming London trip
£59 each for afternoon tea....screw that!
I LOVE afternoon tea however this looks quite disappointing. 🙃🙃🙃
I love your videos, they are inspiring, of excellence that motivate and inspire us to do so, thanks for sharing.
Glad you’re back! More videos please!!!
Thanks for making!
Missed you ,happy to see you and your wife enjoying afternoon tea but not it seems as much as other places. Thanks for the critique,always helpful for our next visit as we love the pleasures of afternoon tea.😊
I appreciate your time to purchase and display to RUclips, these assortments of Afternoon tea all over London and so on. Especially when you explain every historical aspect and put in the effort of description in the food along with the Tea’s. Much gratitude for your obligations.
👌👌👌👍👍
I am so glad I found our videos, I visited London a few years ago and loved it! I've had afternoon tea quite a few times in the states but had to go when we were in London. We had afternoon tea at Grosvenor House. It was amazing! I definitely recommend. When I make it back there I want to try out more places, so I appreciate these videos :) And thanks for the quality of your videos as well, no shaking at all, very well made :)
You probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me
@Jesus Kenneth instablaster ;)
@Benedict Ahmir I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Benedict Ahmir DAMN IT REALLY WORKED! I just got access to my ig password within about 30 mins of using the site.
Had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth the price :O
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Jesus Kenneth Happy to help =)
Thanks for review. Definitely good to know! We're huge afternoon tea fans in my house ! If you ever come to Dublin, you must review The Westburys Hotel Afternoon Tea. It's situated just off Grafton Street! It's excellent. And served in a really beautiful relaxing lounge, you're not too close to each other, service is amazing, and the selections on offer really good!
What struck me immediately from your video, was the noise and busyness of the room, with the strident piano playing, then being so close to the reception, the tables also very close together, it reminded me of an upscale canteen at a busy train station! I'm sure it's marketed to tourists and relying on the name Harrods! You're quite right, you can find probably much better in the price bracket.
I quite liked afternoon tea at Sketch London, not so much pomp and ceremony and a little different. It was a while since I've been though...
Any roads, I'm rambling. Thank you for your post and happy tea travels!
Melissa
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I Googled it and it looks very nice. I hope I will be able to try it once. The Sketch is still very nice.
I was there twice a few years ago. We had the Afternoon Tea. It wasn't nearly as expensive.
Even for Harrods standards £136,95 for afternoon tea for two people is just ridiculous !!!
I'll make it at home myself for that! I can make a couple tea sandwiches, a couple simple pastries. Or do both at once and spread Nutella on bread and top with sliced strawberries! However I'd love to see Harrod's sometime just because its' more famous than the Taj Mahal!
@@lizleapin1835 for sure,your pretty much paying that price to pay to keep the place up and running,I’d rather be out in the country side. I’ve been to England and Landon is overrated, rather enjoy the ocean view and country side and take pics🙂
Yeah, the only way I'd pay this for tea would be if the Queen herself was invited!
Do not wish to start an English/Irish war here but Bewley's cafe in Dublin is a nice place for people looking for a slightly more reasonable menu.
This afternoon tea is really almost 137 pounds????? Wow!
I can't believe it. For tea and scones and dryish sandwiches?
Even if the scones are wonderful, that price is way too expensive.
Even if it's all you can eat, that is outrageous.
Who eats there? Are they executives, surgeons, royalty, successful people in the entertainment fields, owners of banks, etc.
Thanks for your honesty.
I honestly can't believe you don't have more subscribers. I have a feeling you will get very popular soon, the youtube algorithm suggested you and I am glad I clicked. You're informative, creative and authentic, traits hard to come by on RUclips. Your videos are nicely edited and fast but not too fast, just really good content. Probably one of the most underrated channels on RUclips related to desserts/food content.
The scones look lovely
Thank you for your honest assessment of you and your wife's experience at Harrods. I would love to see you go to some of the little inexpensive tea rooms in London. Oh how lovely and charming that would be to say the least more affordable.
I have my 5 o'clock tea at home, with selfmade clotted cream, jam, scones and sandwiches, for much less money. With Harrods, you pay the show. This I don't need.
could you give your recepie for handmade clotted cream,please? I'd love to try to make it by myself,here in Finland.
@@mrsTraveller64 hello, 2 possibilities.
Buy bio cream, let it in the fridge for 10 days, than you can take the liquid for cooking, and up, you have nice thick clotted cream. Or watch "Chef John" at YT, he is baking the cream for clotted cream, but this needs lot of time.
@@willow9526 okay..
Willow, you sound like a ball of fun! The pleasure of dressing up a bit and getting out is often as appealing as the tea, you should try it.
Willow Your home made everything sounds great can I come for afternoon tea chez vous? 😊
Thanks for the honest video. I spent time in London years ago and although I love tea, afternoon tea became a sort of attraction for tourists willing to pay irrational prices in order to live the British experience of afternoon tea. 59 pounds per person!
Absolutely agree. Would you believe that before the onslaught of mass tourism you could get afternoon tea at the Ritz for around 15 pounds? Ok that was 25 years ago but was far better value than it is now. There are still some very good value places that are not on the tourist hot spot list.
I liked the scones there too. I had afternoon tea there many years ago.
I was in London in June and Harrod's was Covid closed. Seems as if I saved my wallet some massive damage! 😃
The highest I spent was 290k everything too expensrive for billionaires lol
Unreal price
Thank you for sharing this" Afternoon Tea at Harrods" video with us. So sad to hear that the sandwiches missed the mark. Really, at those prices, there simply is no excuse for less than extraordinary fare. Wishing that you had done a two-fer & visited the iconic Savoy Hotel for afternoon tea. Would love to have a compare & contrast of these two places & which, in your opinion fared better.
Hi Cheryl, I did a separate video about Savoy last year. You can find it in the Afternoon Tea playlist. I am also planning to make some comparisons videos. Both my wife and I preferred Savoy. It is in the top of my 'best afternoon tea in London' list.
@@TimeToDessert Thank you so much for the quick reply! Headed over now to watch it. Btw, absolutely love your videos!
Cheryl S. I too enjoyed the Savoy much more!!
AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 🤗💫😘
Thank you the eye opening non biased review.
Amazing place!
Wow very posh luv 2go there 1 daylooked bweautiful thanx 4posting 🤗💘
The Hilton in York near the York museum was the best afternoon tea we’ve had we stayed their when we got engaged in a lovely Greek restaurant down the shambles which my hubby to be got down on one knee we stayed at the Hilton before jetting to New York for our honeymoon they put on a private table with white tablecloth and a red rose with champagne with afternoon cakes sandwiches and fresh scones with cream they did us proud that day all for free and a bottle of champagne to take back to our room even if you payed for the pleasure it was well worth it and the view of the castle while eating was a pleasure I would highly recommend staying there if in York
Sounds great. Thank you for sharing
Yorkshire is amazing, I trained in York when I worked for a certain Bath Bomb company, its sort of like Chester, very historic, elegant and of course super friendly, am so glad you had a lovely time there. Nothing is more amazing than the North.
Yum! I’m hungry! So mouth watering. Shopping and afternoon tea in my dreams at Harrods.
Good to see you!
Thank you for sharing this with us. All of my food experiences at Harrods have been pleasant. The manager who appears on the right side of the screen @3:25 has been there a very long time - very pleasant in all of the times that I've eaten in their restaurant (They had a prime rib and Yorkshire pudding buffet some of the time). PS: That gentleman is the one who taught me that a slight dollop of English mustard goes great with turkey - he's right!
I wish I could be a regular at Harrods too
I wish I could be a regular at Harrods too
The days of Harrods being an “exclusive” store are long gone. The only things exclusive now are the ridiculously high prices. I’m pleased you gave a fair and honest review and not some P.R. push. As a Londoner it would be way down on my recommended list for visitors wanting to experience a good quality afternoon tea. The store is simply a tourist hot spot and just about the last place in London you would want to buy anything from, unless of course you’re as pretentious as the place itself - lol
love to watch over again
Drats! When I visited Britain in 1984 I also went to Harrods but never knew about the Tea house on the 4th floor ..
Thank you for this video. Next time, pls try afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason in The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon.
he already did Fortnum
Yes, good memories the English high teas - love the buttered scones especially - but watch the waistline.
Took my mum to The Ritz for afternoon tea for her 80th. The food was just basic standard finger sandwiches scones with cream and jam and small cakes. We paid extra for a birthday cake. For 4 of us it was just under £200 7 years ago. But the surroundings were absolutely beautiful such a gorgeous hotel. My mum loved it.
I agree. We took both my wife's mum and my mum to The Ritz and they loved it. I rate the Ritz afternoon tea highly for their outstanding atmosphere.
@@TimeToDessert Yes it's a beautiful building. Took the mother in law to the Savoy. It was nice but n o t as good as the Ritz.
Had.tea at Harrods in the early 80's and it was lovely
So did I, but it was an extensive buffet, and if I remember, was 17£. I had never seen so much food displayed so brilliantly. It was well worth the price.
Nice to know about Harrods
You could have had a genuine afternoon tea at a road side cafe.
Chip butty, bangers and mash, jumbo sausages, crubeens and to finish up deep fried Mars bar.
Your wallet will still be heavy
with cash for spending spree.
Lol
tikus 1970 damn. my american ass didnt understand anything here
Off I go to look up crubeens. Never heard of those before. My lockdown education of British history and cooking has taught me the rest already. We do have some similarities in Australia though so it wasn’t all completely new to me.
@@rizikrizik1395 chip butty=french fries, bread and butter sandwich. Bangers and mash=saugages and mashed potatoes.
Where please I would like to know for my trip to London.
Very informative! Thank you!
Nice to know about Harrods....
There's a cafe a couple of doors down!
Thanks for the tip!
Missed your videos, hope you are well.
Thank you. I've gathered some energy and will hopefully start releasing videos more often again. There is some good stuff out there that needs to be reviewed :-)
Thanks for sharing 🌻
Tku, found this informative. I prefer The Ritz or Savoy as an experience when visiting London.
Love it
We have been to tea at Harrod's twice on our visits to London. I found his negative comments about regarding the tea sandwiches interesting because ours were perfect on both occasions. It is truly an experience not to miss when visiting.
Great review!
I have afternoon tea before at a tea party in a women’s house called the Bowery that I stayed. Everything was baked from scratch by one of the ladies, and we bought all kinds of teas.It was priceless. But if I’m in London, Fortnum and Mason is the best place I would go. 😍🇬🇧
High Tea at Neiman's was amazing!
Just like Hong Kong. We've got Tea House or Restaurants for Afternoon Tea during the day.
Love honest reviews
Thank you❤💋
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Overpriced but I am glad to see the whole thing
Actually try Kensington Gardens, the Orangery Restaurant, also provide gluten free menus
Our tea there was quite lovely and good!
Way too expensive
Tea at the Goring, the Dorchester, or the Grosvenor hotels is truly amazing. Always make sure you reserve in advance. Walkins are often turned away.
Hey, the waiter's name on the bill is Grzegorz - he must have been a polish guy :) the price is ridiculously high btw
After the surcharges it is L68.50 per person. What is Hrds Still (1). Do they charge L6.50 for a bottle of tap water?
I agree with your review.
I'm curious of the prices of a cup of tea or coffee they serve.
I felt like in the titanic ship tea party☕️🚢
Good video. He was honest.
Harrods was once an “exclusive” store but no longer. Now it’s more like a shopping mall with all the usual concessions and a real tourist hot spot. I can’t imagine many places with high prices like Harrods being a less pleasant shopping experience. Can’t comment on the quality of the afternoon tea but totally agree that there are many much better options in London if you want a genuine experience.
That's good to know. I liked shopping at Harrod's online. lol I don't live anywhere near there at all. One can dream, I guess, and have afternoon tea at home. lol
My fancy meal at Harrods was a glass of champagne +oyster 🍾....mama mia. My Holiday 10 days in UK in 2014. And I brought a micro scooter €60 + red angry bird plushy toy €15.
I miss my love n london
Harrods the Bergdorf Goodman of the East. There’s only one in the world of both stores.

awesome
Fabulous
From the yacht in the Atlantic 💋
I would never pay that much for carbs and sugar.
I am with you
What to pay !?
pinksugarfluff wise guy
@@iseley exactly. I paid 3 times more for a "expresso"( petit cafè) at Champs Elysées in Paris for the marvelous experience, once in a life time! Well spent! We only live once!!!!
Patisserie is a collective noun so it is a word denoting singular.Different items are called PASTRIES!
Oh yeah. I totally messed that up. Thanks a lot for letting me know.
awesome 👍👍👍
Gorgeous, i just went to my city at Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur :)) Manage to video the afternoon tea session too.
How does one manage to get such exclusive clips of the chefs plating the food in back of house ? Do you just ask ?
New to channel. One my friends goes there, I will have to check the tea sometime.
All should try the Sushi restaurant at Dubai airport tax free area.
It's a bit expensive but it's high quality and fresh !
It's served on a moving line from where you can take what you like.
The plate colour tells you what to pay for every specific dish.
Me I loved it and will go again next time I visit Dubai.
Harrods restaurant was called Georgian (as in - of the time of the Kings called George) rather than Gregorian, which is a form of plainsong sung generally by monks.
What refills do they offer?
The Ritz is number 1 for after tea
I agree with you
Interestingly, the Duchess of Bedford needed to combat afternoon slump so she was served caffeine and simple sugars in varied and very tasty forms. Eventually Afternoon Tea became a 4pm ritual in the daily life of the nation, and then later, a high-priced experience in elegant surroundings. Every one of these tea rooms has exquisite ambiance and stellar service.
I hope they NEVER NEVER close being a department store for so many have. But thank you for sharing you experience. No Michelin stars there.
Actually Harrods ceased to be a genuine Department Store many years ago. Now it’s just 90% fashion concessions not unlike the typical Shopping Mall only 3 times the price. Many of today’s super rich are do fu**ing ignorant and undiscerning they wouldn’t even know genuine quality and when they’re being ripped off, which in reality is no bad thing actually :-)
great ......
Those scones, mmmmm!
Yummy
About 25 years ago I traveled to London to visit a friend and she and I went to Harrod’s for tea. Even then it was pricey but I expected that - it’s Harrods after all. But, I didn’t travel with many dressy clothes and noticed that the host gave me what you would call “the once over” (I believe because I was dressed in jeans). This happened again when he passed our table. 🙄 That is the memory I hold from my experience - can’t even remember how the food tasted. 😂
😃Thank you for sharing this. Probably the dress code is not as strict anymore to accommodate tourists more and more.
Hi. We have Harrold black tea in our house and I need more information about it, like its price. (It was given to us as a gift). I'm just curious lol.
That price is crazy considering the offerings.
$187.68 The basement Food Court rocks and for that price you could buy out the pastry case.
