    My 17-year-old son described the in-house jam as “made by gods” and referred to multiple bites as “exquisite.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard him give such high praise to food. Our party consisted of three generations and we all had a wonderful afternoon. There was great variety in teas, sandwiches and desserts. We really couldn’t pick a favorite because everything was so good.

    We had the most lovely time at this high tea. The staff was incredibly courteous, seating us a few minutes early. They explained the service in detail and encouraged us to read through the tea selection and to choose one.
    Come hungry because while it doesn’t look like a lot of food, two of us brought scones and desserts with us in convenient paper takeaway boxes. They even offered more clotted cream, ham and apples to take with. Everything was truly delicious.
    As we were leaving, they loaded us up even more with gratis chocolate bark, mints and merengues.
    Would highly recommend and I’ve included a screenshot of the current menu and regular prices. Buying the ticket through Viator definitely saved some money.

    Sitting by the windows with good view of the mews. Food was good too. Service was very friendly. What else can we say?

    This was a wonderful afternoon tea. The location is perfect (directly across from The Royal Mews). Tony the doorman was delightful. He even had my 16 year old laughing.

    Lovely afternoon tea. And met some nice young ladies next to us from Newcastle University. We are celebrating our 30th anniversary (we are a married female couple from the US) and they arranged to surprise us with a “happy anniversary” dessert and champagne toast from the Rubens!!!

    I attended the afternoon tea alone. It was a great atmosphere and the food was very delicious. Although my waiter took a little while to come back for each part of the tea, he offered some great recommendations. I was seated in a timely manner and I was served within 5 minutes of being there.

    I felt I was treated like royalty. The food and view of The Mews were excellent! My server (something like “Naranit”) was so knowledgeable about the cinnamon chai tea I had. He had a wonderful personality and was so likeable. The sandwiches were the best I had while in London and of course the desserts were exquisite. The restaurant is beautiful and I will definitely return on my next trip to London. (live in South Carolina, USA)

    If you want a true authentic afternoon English tea experience, this is the place for you. The service, food, tea, drinks etc. were displayed beautifully and was so delicious too. It was a lovely time.

    Everything was tasty and nicely presented. I will have afternoon tea there again. What a beautiful hotel to just relax and have tea.

  14. Rebecca_B

    The staff at the Ruben were extremely attentive and polite. They made my sister and I feel welcome and they were very helpful. This was a great experience and I would do it again.

  15. Aimee_B

    The staff was very friendly and the seating was so comfortable! We really enjoyed mother’s day together.

  16. Krista_F

    We had an excellent experience. We really liked out server. He was quiet jolly and knowledgeable on all of the food.
    Although, Viator messed up our reservation. When we went to check-in our name was not listed at all. I had to show that we had paid online but there were no tickets to show. There was one table left and they let us have it but then we had to pay again. 😣 Viator had sent an email saying they canceled our reservation but we did not see it till we arrived for tea. We now need to see if Viator gave a refund or not to us.
