"Unfortunately unlike many other’s who have kindly posted reviews on here, our experience of Afternoon Tea at The Chesterfield was rather disappointing. The staff were very attentive and courteous and I really appreciated how welcome they made us feel. Unfortunately for some reason at our seating on a Friday at 4:30pm there seemed to be an issue with a shortage of cakes/pastries. When the afternoon tea came out, understandably there is not enough room on the tea stand to put out 3 of each type of cake, so I just enquired whether one of each type of cake for the three of us would be bough out later and the waitress said we could have more sandwiches and scones if we wished. I said thank you, we have one of each of those, it’s the cakes I would like more of please. I got the same reply offering more sandwiches and cakes. Just to clarify things, I said was I expected to cut each cake into 3 small pieces then ? She looked embarrassed and said I could ask for more of the one’s we enjoyed the most. I left it for a while and once we had had our thirds of cake each, when the waitress came back and asked which we enjoyed the most, I said the small pink cheesecake, could we have 3 of those please, again I was meet with the offer of more sandwiches and scones. I did not want to ruin my eldest daughter’s birthday treat anymore by making a fuss, so I didn’t pursue it any further but did contact the Manager a few days later regarding our disappointing experience. He suggested it was all a “miscommunication issue” on my behalf, that afternoon tea was an unlimited eating experience, and they only bring out a certain amount of cakes, so not to create food waste. This was clearly not the case, as everyone else at the sitting took home their uneaten items in food boxes provided by the hotel, which is usually the option when you go for afternoon tea and the kind waitress gave us 6 extra scones to take away with us, also extra sweets, trying to restore some joy to a very underwhelming and frustrating experience."

"Considering your post what a shame that your manager chose to shame my girlfriend and I on a recent visit for a meal because we are exempt from wearing masks. On two occasions we told staff we were exempt and had it shouted across the establishment that we need to have a mask on as we waited to be seated. Also then for a member of staff to ask us to wait whilst they ask their manager if we are able to be allowed in. Upon being seated the manager, who I have to add has been great on previous recent visits and always welcoming and friendly, then came over and again asked why we didn 't have masks on and that we needed letters as PROOF and that anyone can claim to be exempt . This was done with zero discretion and in front of other customers. There is no legal obligation to provide proof and that is on the official government website, my girlfriend checked this after the manager walked away. We both felt totally embarrassed to have been asked further in front of other customers and to have to be told we have to provide proof of our exemption. The dealing of the whole situation was disgusting and to be spoken to in such a manner for having an exemption. My girlfriend felt we should have said something after the meal but we chose not to. I fully understand this year is a testing time for everyone and especially the hospitality trade at the moment with curfews also but of all days please show some understanding and awareness that people have good reason to be exempt from wearing a mask and beyond a visible reason. I just hope you are more welcome to future customers regarding the wearing of masks and don 't choose to belittle and shame them in front of other customers. There are several reasons for being exempt of wearing a mask, one being them causing distress and anxiety, with relevance to today and your post, so I hope you can please show more understanding in future."

"This is my go to place for a meal, situated on the trendy and vibrant West Hampstead High Street. The menu offers a mouthwatering selection of starters, Persian specialist mains, great steak options and various world cuisine alternatives. Chicken dishes like Chelo Jooje Kebab and Baghali Polo which is a Persian specialty rice served with broad bean and dill beside Sea Bass are really good. For me the Persian omelette is a special mention an amazing dish to start your day with, which you can dive into with piping hot ciabatta. It’s the place for you if you like traditional food with a big range of texture and flavor. The drinks menu is robust whether you want to enjoy your classic red to white wine, favourite coctails or if you want to just go with something hot. Camden Hells, Camden Pale Ale and Pravha are on tap. This is a family run restaurant; and it is a good match for family gatherings. The owner is warm and thoughtful, and he will check on the guests to ensure their experience is enjoyable. The staff is attentive and prompt. I see a lot of families enjoy a weekend meal together, with added ease for young children as they have high chairs that help. On many occasions there are social gatherings, pre game meals and drinks on big match days. It is also suited for casual dining or an intimate couple’s dinner. The restaurant has many regulars who visit almost on a daily basis. They welcome pets with dedicated pet friendly tables inside. Indoors is a mix of thematic handmade artwork, handwritten signs and prints. You can sigh off the day as you relax on comfy chester sofas with your favourite drink in hand, with cozy lighting throughout. Their tables in front of the restaurant on the street get an amazing amount of sun on bright days; so much so that I’ve seen people almost sunbathing while enjoying a refreshing pint on the side that is also when they realize the restaurant is very close to West End Green park, which offers bountiful, relaxing green views in an urban backdrop. It’s important to remember that no business and certainly no restaurant is flawless and every establishment has bad days; slight delays and hiccups on very busy days are normal. The restaurant is located in a busy and narrow street; so parking could be challenging. All of these do not change the fact that you will have a great time here, and I would definitely recommend it as a nice place to go with friends, family and partner. Do try their steaks !"

"이 리뷰는 한국어와 영어로 쓰였습니다. This reciew is written in both Korean and English. 포트넘 앰 메이슨 차를 사려고 방문한 곳인데 피카딜리쪽보다 확실히 사람도 적고 조용한 분위기라 편하게 쇼핑할 수 있어요. 그리고 정말 정말 직원분이 친절함!!! 부담가지도 않으면서도 자세히 설명해주고 잘 응대해주셔서 쇼핑하는 내내 매우 기분이 좋았습니다 이름을 못 물어봐서 어떤 직원분인진 모르겠지만 ㅠ 지금까지 돌아다닌 유명한 기념품 쇼핑 플레이스 중에서 그 분 응대가 제일 좋았습니다. 피카딜리쪽보다는 아무래도 관광객이 덜 와서 그런 것 같긴 해요. 차 종류는 제 기억으로는 따로 패키지에 골라서 파는 것 말고 일반 틴케이스로 파는 건 다 있습니다. 특별한 건 여기에서만 파는 royal exchange blend가 있는데 전 royal blend보다 더 맘에 들어서 그걸로 삼 ㅎㅎ 그리고 이 매장이 포트넘 앤 메이슨 매장 중에 가장 최근에 생긴 지점이라네요. 깨끗한 곳에서 비교적 차분하게 쇼핑하실 분은 추천드립니다! I went this place to buy Fortnum Mason tea for presents and this place is definitely better place to buy teas than the one in piccadilly. The staffs here are super friendly which made the whole shopping experience extremly satisfying. It is much less crowded than the piccadilly store so you can take your time. If you are not up to buy the Rare teas which are only offered in individual packaging, you would be able to find everything you want. Also you can buy in individual packaging for normal teas if you want to. It has a special blend named Royal Exchange Blend only sold in this store. I prefer this one to the original royal blend. This store is the latest built one among the Fortnum Masons so it is super clean. I highly recommend this place!!!"

"We arrived as a family of four with no booking on a Sunday evening, the restaurant was fairly quiet, about 8 ish tables were taken, the gentleman at the entrance of the restaurant kindly ushered us to our table asking us for our drinks order...whilst we looked at menu, he told us a waitress would be serving us. We waited for an eternity for our drinks to arrive, what aggravated me when a couple arrived seated next to our table, took drinks order and they arrived before ours! We noticed another couple seated other side of us had finished their starter and waited a while for their plates to be removed. Our drinks arrived by our waitress with no people skills what so ever, we questioned her regarding steaks, she was unable to answer er, not sure, one is softer as to sirloin and rump. Again, restaurant was quiet but no sign of waitresses working' our meals arrived after another long wait, 3 of us ordered burgers, 1 with steak. 2 burgers were cold to eat along with the buns as if buns had just been taken out of fridge. As we waited a long time I begrudgingly ate with rustic' chips that were mildly warm again! I noticed couple who were there before us had left the majority of their meals (burgers again) and chips and left, no one cleared their table for at least 10 mins! Couple next to us who arrived after us had their order mixed up, lady ordered chicken/avocado salad, waitress took wrong meal away, I could clearly see the couple were both aggravated. We finished our not so great meal and again long wait for table to be cleared. Salad arrived on next table, lady complained there was no avocado in, after much deliberation we heard waitress say chef said no avocados left Gentleman in suit, I presume manager apologised offering her another meal, they also mentioned they had an extra long wait and wish to go elsewhere. We asked for the bill, bearing in mind when we arrived we informed gentleman we had 2 vouchers 2 for 1 so it'll be 2 transactions. The bill came as one transaction £98!!!!! No way our meal was worth that anyway! (we had no starter or dessert, 4 beers, 2 cokes, 1 jug of water So, again another long wait for bill to be rectified, we waited that long that we left table to wait for bill at till point, hence to say, leaving no tip! Absolutely disgraceful experience overall, that us and going by other diners we will not be returning!!! "
