The Foyer & Reading Room London Reviews
Amazing Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea is on a different level here. My favourite afternoon tea (& I’ve tried quite a few !) - £95 which is the norm in London £110 with a glass of champagne. I could not find one fault - staff, food, service, atmosphere all amazing. F
A big fan of Claridge's!
We always love dining at Claridge's. The first time I visited was in 2014 to celebrate my birthday, and the team has never failed to make our experiences memorable. Recently, I took Mama Bear out for a lovely lunch and as expected we had a wond
Superb Afternoon Tea at Claridge’s - fantastic service!
Just Wow what a luxurious place to enjoy afternoon tea! If you are looking for luxury and impeccable service this is definitely an afternoon tea you should try! Claridge’s kindly accommodated a last minute booking change for 6 of us to enjoy birthd
Afternoon Tea Food still Top Notch, but some Service Slips Evident
This was probably our 5th afternoon tea at Claridge's and while the sandwiches and pastries were of typical high quality, the service was not up to normal standards. Our server struggled to time the pacing and coordination between champagne/tea
A Culinary Symphony in the Heart of Mayfair
Dining at The Foyer & Reading Room was an experience that effortlessly combined sophistication, flavour, and an atmosphere of understated glamour. From the first moment we entered the elegant art deco space, we knew we were in for something memor

Disappointing
We had booked for Afternoon Tea. We have been 3 times previously and I have to say we were a little disappointed to say the least. Initially our waiter looked after us well, the sandwiches and scones were lovely, but not so much the cakes 😔quite o
Superb food, location and service from Leo
I had the pleasure of the afternoon tea yesterday with my sister and it was wonderful. I have done many an afternoon tea but this was the best. It was a beautiful room with stunning archways doors and windows and a gorgeous setting. The food was deli
I knew I'd only be able to have one afternoon tea while in
I knew I'd only be able to have one afternoon tea while in London. After doing a lot of research, I chose Claridge's for this special experience. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I'd chosen well. The Christmas decor and chi
Excellent service but afternoon tea not as good as it was
Claridges had been our favourite London afternoon so we had chosen it for a special birthday celebration. The little birthday patisserie/plate was a nice touch. Service: Faultless. Friendly and attentive. Excellent ambience and setting. Sandwiches:
An amazing time
We came for afternoon tea, as part of my son’s 21st birthday celebrations in London. Just a truly, wonderful experience from beginning to end 🥰 service was impeccable..our waiter was so lovely, but not overbearing, as we have found in other plac
SIMPLY THE BEST - BETTER THAN ALL THE REST! EXCEPTIONAL!
If I could rate a review higher than the TripAdvisor’s 5 points, I most certainly would. Some restaurants simply exceed excellence! I have been to hundreds of afternoon teas over the years (lucky, I know)! Many of the have been with friends and
The Perfect Place to have Tea in London!
We had a wonderful dining experience in December of 2023 when we had Tea in The Foyer at Claridges for the very first time. I have just found in my notes the name of our fantastic waiter, Jairo. He set the tone for our meal from the moment we sat dow
5 star Experience
If you are looking for a special Afternoon Tea experience this is the place to visit. From start to finish we were treated like royalty and nothing was too much trouble. Chryssa made sure we could not ask for anything more. We were lucky enough to ha
Beyond Impeccably……..
Been coming to claridges a lot over the past few months it’s my new favourite haunt while I am in London. First time in this part of the hotel. Staff are fantastic so polite and welcoming. I am a very casual dressed person so I’m in jeans, hoodie

My daughter (who is a new mom with a 5 week old baby) took me to afternoon tea at Claridges for Mothers Day. The food was superb. We especially liked the ham sandwich and the Gruyère truffle (which was their special of the day). We each tried 2 diff
CLARIDGES not the experience you pay for!
We went here for afternoon teas as part of my sisters 50th birthday, and it wasn’t the experience we were hoping for. I wish we had booked The Savoy or The Ritz, which incidentally are cheaper. It started when we arrived by taxi, the doorman asked
Wonderful 50th anniversary celebration
We dined at Claridge’s restaurant for lunch for my parents 50th anniversary. From the moment I booked to paying the bill our experience was fantastic. The team at the restaurant emailed options for champagne on arrival and a cake to celebrate. I al
Perfect
Utterly delightful. Without a doubt the service, food, ambiance is worth every penny. Fabulous attention to detail. Beautifully presented selection of sandwiches which are replenished seamlessly as required. Tea selection which is explained with prec
Classy venue
I don't understand how the other reviewers failed to notice the Christmas decorations - there were loads and it was very festive. Although the Louis Vuitton "Christmas tree" in the lobby was questionable. The food was of an excellent
Rather disappointed
We had the afternoon tea and it was deeply disappointing. I understand it’s Christmas and may cut some slack to the staff. And they need it: the service was extremely slow and uncoordinated. But the very least you’d expect from a place of this cl
Very disappointed
Went for lunch . Considering it was Christmas there was no Christmas theme in the restaurant. Service average, poor starter, over priced and inconsistent as table next to us were served petit four . Maitre d didn’t even present herself and had to
Disappointing food at outrageous prices
We thought Claridges would be the perfect place for a treat for Christmas. The Louis Vitton Christmas tree was underwhelming. We had booked for lunch and was expecting something really special. I had the recommended chicken pie and mash which was ok.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Foyer & Reading Room London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Foyer & Reading Room London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Foyer & Reading Room London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at The Foyer & Reading Room London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Foyer & Reading Room London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
