What did your experience entail?
An afternoon tea with a Japanese theme in a cool and funky West End boutique hotel. The hotel has a different style and edge to it with cool interiors and staff with more pony-tails than usual! The Japanese Afternoon Tea is held in the restaurant of the hotel and starts with a long glass of cold fizz in crystal flutes, followed by your first course of beautiful Japanese dishes. Do not worry if you cannot use chopsticks, there are plenty of forks...
After the first course an elaborate and unique “cake stand” is brought to the table with sweet treats which will tickle tastebuds as well as being visually stunning. But, for the traditionalists there is a fab fruit scone and clotted cream/strawberry jam just to remind us that this is afternoon tea; and, of course a choice of 6 different teas in a personal pot each.
This is an Insta-must for those who love to post. It will have your friends drooling with envy and even better, the whole thing tastes fantastic and we left thoroughly happy and chilled.
What did you enjoy the most?
Having had a number of different Afternoon Teas over the years, this Japanese version is definitely my favourite. The menu is eclectic, mixing some ubiquitous afternoon tea elements with modern Japanese dishes – with or without chopsticks. There is more than enough for two, and we had not eaten all day! Staff are all friendly and keen to ensure that you are enjoying the experience, without being “in your face.”

Top Tip

1. Make sure not to eat anything before hand – there is plenty of food.
2. Leave some extra time to get to the hotel – remember this is central London!
3. If you are traditional in your tastes and unadventurous with food – don’t go. Try every dish, even if you have no idea what to expect when you eat it. It will Wow you!

One of the major advantages of gifting experience vouchers for hotels is the fixed price throughout the year, ensuring your lucky gift recipient will always have a range of hotel choices throughout the country. This is in stark contrast to the significant price fluctuations of hotel rates depending on the season and city. If you have one of our Super-Vouchers or you are exchanging, there may be a remaining balance after your recipient chooses their gift, which can be used towards another experience.

A delightful and different take on the British afternoon tea. Lovely welcome, comfortable seating in a nice room. Restaurant was in a quiet area away from the busy streets of Chinatown and all the better for it. Food was a delight, staff excellent. Only minor concern was the finding of a panacotta which I dont see as being Japanese…but it was tasty anyway. Do recommend the soft shell crab but you wont go wrong in my book.

The food was really good, and so was the matcha tea. My only criticism if I want to be picky is around the venue - the room is a bit dark and we were sitting next to kitchen (even if the place was not too busy) and so a bit more noisy/busier than it could have been. The presentation is different from the picture: the plates don't come in a black wooden stand but on separate plates, and are split between savoury and sweet. To be fair it's easier and better as you have more space and the scone is very warm when it's time to eat it, so I'm only flagging this if someone goes for the presentation (I personally always value taste over presentation)

Lots of choice, and elegantly presented, this experience is a great little moment to have in London. The food was tasty and well cooked, drinks were plentiful. Only downside were that the staff were a little inattentive. Took us quite some time to get refills on water etc, but overall a great experience.
