    Such a wonderful afternoon, beautiful decorations and delightful details, like the waitresses costumes and the themed cocktails even some hot toddy among the drinks on the cocktails list. Really helpful staff when I arranged the details because we were vegetarian and gluten free and they tackled all our requests by email and I brought a birthday cake with me and it all went very smoothly. Thank you so much for a lovely experience.

    Nutcracker afternoon tea was amazing, we upgraded to a VIP table and had the ballet booth. Couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. There are so many little details that are considered to make the experience magical. This is the 4th time we’ve visited and it won’t be the last. Thank you

    I have been to afternoon tea at mad dogs a few times and feel this time the experience and service was not as good. Had to ask first more tea and was going to order a cocktail but staff didn’t come to our table only to give sandwiches and cake. General experience lacking that special touch this time
