We were very excited to try the winter afternoon tea at Parker’s Tavern to celebrate my husband’s birthday, especially after the wonderful Sunday lunch we enjoyed there a few months ago. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below our expectations.
The service was slow, and it was evident that the team running the service lacked experience. While the cakes looked delightful, I was surprised and disappointed to find that the tea was presented without clotted cream and jam for the scones—a staple of any proper afternoon tea. When I inquired, I was told they would check, and five minutes later, we were brought clotted cream and marmalade. Marmalade with scones is highly unusual, and I can confirm it doesn’t work as a pairing. I had to specifically request jam, which was then hurriedly brought to us.
To add to the disappointment, the tea order was brought out incorrectly, despite us only ordering two teas. Considering the high cost of the experience (and this was without champagne), the quality of service and attention to detail left much to be desired.
This was not the special celebration we had hoped for, and sadly, we left feeling bitterly disappointed.
