Buckingham Tea Room — Restaurant in England

You will always leave feeling like you just ate at a 5 star restaurant. The Buckingham Tea Room is a small restaurant serving some of the most excellent food I’ve ever had, and is very affordable. I can’t recommend it enough. Everything is homemade by the owner and chef, who is extremely talented.

Book in advance every time you go - whether you’re just going for tea and scones or if you’re going all out with the Afternoon Tea experience. It’s very easy to do on their website! Worth it to ensure you get a table.

Their scones are light and delectable, both the savory and sweet versions (highly recommend trying both kinds). Their tea options are vast and they’re all of the highest quality. The cakes and sweets have no business being as delicious as they are! And they are presented and decorated in such a stunning manner.

You can go for tea and scones, or you can get the Afternoon Tea which includes tea, scones, and a variety of small savory dishes all served on tiered stands. If it’s your first time visiting, I really think you should get the Afternoon Tea so that you can try many of the things that they offer. The small savory foods that I’ve tried there have been some of the best foods I’ve ever eaten in my life.

My favorite tea is the English Rose, however the Chai is also excellent! I’ve tried most other types, but these two always stick out.

I could go on and on about this place, and talk in detail about every single insanely good thing I’ve eaten here, but instead of doing that - you should just go on their website and book a table as soon as humanly possible, and then you’ll just know what I mean.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Visit as soon as you can, and as...

Awful experience. Was charged £28.95 per person for an afternoon tea. Booked in advance with notes of dietary requirements, they accepted the booking. I requested vegetarian food, no eggs and no fish and caffiene free green tea. They had plenty of time to accommodate for us and as we got there, they proceeded to tell us all foods contained egg (we didn't want omelettes/boiled eggs or items that contained these) and that they didn't have decaf green tea even though these were my specific requirements. We stayed through afternoon tea and ate what we could. They then told us, the price of 28.95 only included 1 tea, which was cold by the time the food came out, usually afternoon teas are with unlimited tea? Finally, the rest of the food came out and we were served scallops and lamb casserole... despite being clear on the dietary requirements!!! Lack of care or customer service. Lastly, we had a gift card to pay for the 2 teas, the man then came out and said we only had £20 on the giftcard and that we had to pay the remaining £40. I asked to look at the gift card and it wasn't even the one with my name on it!!! Why do I feel like he was trying to get more money from us?! Just a poor and rubbish experience, particularly for the price paid. I've been to other afternoon teas £25 for 2 people and come back with a full stomach and all my dietary...

This was the best afternoon tea I have ever had! For a bit of insight I was 7 months pregnant when I visited. On arrival the server asked if we had any dietary requirements. We just answered no to this question. She asked if we wanted any drinks so I ordered a pot of tea, she asked very kindly if it was ok as it had caffeine in it. I hadn’t even thought of that but was very impressed. Once the food started to arrive she pointed out that the salmon had been cooked so I was able to eat it (I didn’t even consider to let her know that I couldn’t eat raw fish so was honestly really impressed that she pointed this out to me. The service and the knowledge she had was top tier and I honestly appreciate her pointing out these little things to me throughout the service. The food was absolutely delicious and I will be travelling to eat there again....
