Hellooo Lovelies,
On Saturday
it was my mother’s birthday and as a gift I took her to the Waldorf Hotel in
London. We started the day shopping around and buying everything we saw before
venturing over! I chose the Waldorf for afternoon tea because not only had
everybody online said it was incredible I also was enticed by the idea that it
has the same name as Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. I had
booked the afternoon tea for 2pm so we arrived at 1:45 as you have to wait in a
little queue with others arriving at that time. The room was full of subtle
chatter and a harpist playing in the centre. The room its self was so beautiful
with such intricate detail especially the sparkly chandeliers!
We started
off with Tea because it isn’t Afternoon tea without tea and so I just had
English breakfast tea while my mum opted to go with coffee. The man bought some
mini sand timers that my mother and I instantly thought we could only be there
for a certain time until we realised it was how long to let your tea brew for!
Next came
out a plate of sandwiches, Ham and Mustard (my favourite!), cheese and
cucumber, egg and cress, tomato cheese and salmon. The Ham one definitely had to
be my favourite closely followed by the gorgeous egg!
Then came
the incredible of all incredible things… the cake tier! The plates consisted of
scones, chocolate finger sponge, tiramisu, passion fruit cupcakes, macaroons
and so many more! My favourite had to be the tiramisu because it was so creamy
I loved it. My mother loved the chocolate finger sponge because it was freshly
out the oven and still warm so the chocolate chunks were still melted which was
a great touch! Overall the food was of a very high standard and we thoroughly enjoyed
all of it.
If you are
out in London then I would really recommend booking for afternoon tea here. Throughout
the meal there was also a harpist playing which really added to the
atmosphere. Staff at the Waldorf were all so welcoming and even bought out
a slice of cheesecake for my mum and we all sang because it was her birthday!
I hope you
have enjoyed this post and are having a lovely week!
