"Went for Beauty and The Beast afternoon tea yesterday. Utterly stunning building and the room we were sat in was decorated beautifully. The service from start to finish was lovely although we did have to flag someone down anytime we needed something as we were not approached at all for more drinks or if we wanted our scones. The sandwiches were lovely and cut perfectly if not a little bland. The chicken roll was lovely and the toastie was nice but would benefit from stronger cheese as it didn’t really taste of anything. The scones were perfect and some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The sausage rolls were amazing as were the little tart and salmon mousse. The cakes very much let it all down. The blueberry cake tasted of nothing and seemed greasy. The macaron again tasted of very little and the red food colouring stained everything it touched. The lemon cake was nice but the icing was awful and it seemed to be made from margarine rather than actual butter. The chocolate mousse was lovely if not a little strong for the children. Both the savoury and sweet biscuits were out of this world. Our biggest complaint is that 4 of us were squeezed into a small table. We really struggled for space. I couldn’t drink my tea and had to hand back my pot of tea as we simply didn’t have space for it. We felt incredibly cramped. It would of been nice to have some music in line with the themed afternoon tea playing too perhaps?"

"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!!!"
