Afternoon Tea at Claridges

After the success of last year's Valentine's afternoon tea at The Churchill Restaurant in The Regency Hyatt Hotel, we decided to repeat the experience this time at Claridges.

We arrived about 15 minutes early and was shown to our table... it was very tempting to select the special Valentine's afternoon tea which included a glass of champagne but after some deliberation we decided on the normal menu. Exquisite finger sandwiches with various fillings followed by scones with cream and jam rounded off with some very rich but delicate cakes and all washed down with about 10 cups of Winter tea. Superb!

N noticed at the table adjacent to us was seated Guy Ritchie... I resisted the temptation to go over and ask him how Sherlock Holmes 2 was going - but this didn't stop a couple of other people who went and asked for a photo to be taken with another celeb who we hadn't noticed was seated at another nearby table - none other than Ron Weasley himself aka Rupert Grint.

I would recommend Claridges but what I would say is that last years experience at The Churchill was a tad superior in quality and service.

Maybe The Ritz next year...
