What a lovely & quaint Tea Room Room & Bakery! Family owned & operated which is fantastic 👏! I had the soup dejour, today was a savory, thick Punpkin Bisque which really hit the spot on a rainy,snowy day! Yum! I followed up w/the Duchess Tea Service which included a big pot of hot Tea, I chose the Buckingham Garden Tea Party, which was a great balance blend of Floral ,Jasmine & black teas. There was also a perfect Scone,the variety of the day,which was accompanied by a little jar of strawberry 🍓 preserves & another jar of English clotted cream. 4 mini desert bites of a lemon 🍋 curd shortbread bite, a berry French macaroon, a Raspberry Jam iced cake bite & a mini cupcake of the month, English Butterfly YUM! A sweet,light,sponge cake w/a Raspberry filling & topped w/a light vanilla frosting. The 4 finger sandwiches that were also included were a classic cucumber 🥒 cream cheese, an egg salad, a ham & cheese 🧀 w/Bronston Pickle spread on the side & an English favorite, Queen's Coronation Chicken salad w/the slightest hint of Curry which makes it 👍! On my way out I stopped in the bakery & left 🧁 cupcakes,& a slice of Victoria Sponge cake! The only things I wish were slightly different on the menu; a Tea option of double finger sandwiches w/o the mini desserts, an alacarte option of more finger sandwiches & a choice of scones w/the Tea Services not only the featured scone. All in all it's a great new Tea Room I'll be visiting again very soon! Make a reservation tho because the more people discover it the more in...
Read moreDear Jen, I want to publicly thank you for hosting my grandchildren’s first tea. BTW they live on the outskirts of London but have yet to be at The Drawing Room at Browns Hotel. Start with the ambience. Charming, attractive, plenty of space to roam and socialize, comfortable sitting and eating spaces, and well appointed table.
Next is staff from filling individual needs or refilling or serving. Unobtrusive, efficient, amiable and ever present when needed.
Now let's move on to menu. The options at a high tea are limited in my mind (no steamed 4lb lobster 😁). However, the quality, quantity and presentation of each dish met all expectations.
Last but not least. That is you, Jen. eating (or should one say "teaing") at Windsor House is more like teaing with family dinner rather than at a YeRoom. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
I heartily recommend Casa Bellisima without...
Read moreThis place is such a hidden gem! The food is amazing, although it has a smaller tea selection it’s filled with such great teas! I got the lavender tea and it was incredible! Jen and her dad are so kind and they make everything in house. The quiche of the day was the best quiche I’ve had in a long time (spinach and feta) their sandwiches were so good (I had allergies and without my needing to ask they swapped out two of their items for double of something else, that I got to choose!) their desserts were amazing, but their scones really were the star of the show! If I didn’t live so far away I’d be a regular, but make it known I...
