The afternoon tea at Brown's Hotel earns raves for its refined elegance, with Doobydobap praising its flawless execution. The overall vibe is one of timeless, indulgent luxury, making it a quintessentially London treat.
“The afternoon tea comes in three tiers: finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and delicate pastries and little cakes. The egg salad sandwich with watercress has a nice peppery, refreshing note. The scones are not too bready, buttery, and crumbly — incredible. The clotted cream is thick and buttery, like cream with less moisture, giving that heart disease kind of taste you want with a scone. The strawberry jam has a beautiful color. The whole experience with the pianist playing in a historic hotel feels super special.”
