    I was a little bit disappointed as I came last year with work colleagues and there were 2 massive Christmas trees outside the entrance and carol singers as you walked in. This year were a couple of bare branches with a few bows on and no carol singers. I wanted to bring my family as I had such a lovely time last year but as I said it was a little different this year. My family still enjoyed the experience as they had never been before so had nothing to compare it to. I would still go again.

She was attentive, kind, and had such a wonderful energy that made us feel so welcome. Her service was impeccable, and she added a personal touch that made our visit unforgettable. A perfect spot for great food, great vibes, and exceptional service!

    Afternoon tea at the savoy is a lovely! We had come up from Eastbourne and just been to the Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery and then walked round to the savoy. We have been a couple of times, and really enjoy it. It is know in the newly refurbished room with very comfy chairs...... important for tea i think. Er added a glass of champagne each before we started which as they have a good selection to choose from was well worth it. One of the gueast was gluten free and there selection was as lovely as the others. There was no feeling that you have to finish then leave which happens in some other afternon teas, we have tried a few, and we keeping coming back to the savoy. Te staff where lovely, inarticular the man who explained all abut the ball room down stairs, whichn we went tom see. i loved thhe pictures of Guests around the htel, and particuarily liked the pictures on the wall of the ballet dancers. The addition of the bar in the room works very well.

    We have only two complaints, the seasonal (Christmas) Scotch Egg needed more seasoning, which was surprising because every other element was perfect. And we were kind of ignored at the end of our meal, we had to chase someone down for boxes and the bill and the attitude of the person we asked was a little… off… like we were an inconvenience.
