Afternoon Tea
Top tags:
Located in the heart of the hotel, the stylish sophistication of the new Peacock Alley will re-connect to all the glamour and traditions of the original Waldorf & Astoria Hotels in New York. The classic place to be, from morning to night. A comfortable lounge for residents to treat as their own, for breakfast, light lunch or afternoon tea. A discreet, professional welcome for informal business meetings; “the place to see and be seen” at cocktail hour; a convivial, attentive “club” in which to wind down at the end of the evening.

    Very nice freshly made Club sandwich and super teas for lunch. Scones later were good, too. But the best is the ambience. A great place to have long conversations with friends without feeling hurried off our table. Service was attentive with being overdone.

    We celebrated our 1st anniversary with fairy tale afternoon tea. It was absolutely worth every penny. The amount of food was spectacular. The quality and presentation were stunning. Unlimited herbal tea, beautiful selection of sandwiches & little bites. Peacock ally is a lovely, relaxing and elegant setting. The service was really friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We would love to try the beauty and the beast afternoon tea next time. We will most definitely return.

    Fantastic experience from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Melony was lovely, explaining the teas and the savoury and sweet treats . She was attentive without being intrusive. Background pianist and harpist were amazing but not too loud that it interfered with the conversation. The setting is fantastic and felt luxurious and we were very comfortable and relaxed throughout. The Fairytale Afternoon Tea was a great way to celebrate my birthday - the Happy Birthday plate was a lovely touch too.

    Delicious afternoon tea served by attentive knowledgeable staff in a lovely atmosphere. It was my partner's birthday and the staff presented him with a lovely plate of chocolate decorated strawberries with a message on the plate. Highly recommended

    My wife and I went for our 20th wedding anniversary. We informed the Waldorf beforehand of our dietary requirements and this was met, without any compromise. The food was excellent as was the service from Harriet and her colleagues, who fully informed us of the food we were enjoying. The setting is lovely and it’s not over crowded. My only quibble would be in the cost, I felt it was a little strep, but that’s a personal opinion. Overall, a brilliant experience for a special day
