Afternoon Tea at Roast - London

The service was ok. music was very low and not very exciting. eating and the elegance wasn't as great as I expected.

The service was not as friendly as I am accustomed to at nicer venues. The food was average in flavor and quantity. The lemon cake was particularly dry and undesirable.

We had afternoon tea at 3pm. The restaurant was still crowded with lunchers but we were given a nice table with a view over the market. The service was good and the food and tea were enjoyable. The only complaint was that we realised towards the end that our clothes were covered in white bits, which must have come from the white napkins. The people at the next table had the same problem. We mentioned this when paying and bill was reduced by 25%.

Sandwiches (brot) were dry and crusty, but some like the chicken were delicious. chocolate cake and lemon drops also very dry. scones were tasty and dryness was made better with cream and jam. cocktails were beautiful and unique. the service on our side was not amazing. had to stand up to ask someone to take a drink order and for the bill after trying to catch the server eye for 10 minutes each time. but they didn't rush us and we were there for a few hours. would return for their main dish, but probably not again for afternoon tea.

Very disappointed by this afternoon tee. we had a bottomless Prosecco afternoon tea and made it barely through a bottle because our waiter literally disappeared and the host and other employees had to ask to get the bottle for us. we were quite much left to our own devices and even had to rise and request the bill. I'd be a little more understanding if the place was messed up and short workers, but we were there with two other tables. it was definitiw not worth the price either the options of the menu were limited and we did not even touch the desserts as they were unpleasant. again, really disappointed if they fall £35 55 pfund pp for a special afternoon tee, I would recommend going elsewhere
