Thank you @zurgandfriend Yes, that's the most recent menu I found as well. It looks like a nice break in the day but I agree it would be filling and would require a later dinner. Thanks again for responding.I have pasted the menu from alleearsnet.com below, it was dated July 2012 sorry the latest I could find. We did the tea a fews years ago for my DW's birthday. it was fun but really one time "bucket list" this for us. I believe we did the grand tea with a glass of champagne. After tea we were "stuffed" luckily I had made a late ADR for dinner at Jiko. I hope this helps.

Great pictures. Thanks for the insight.I took my mum there in march for Mother's Day, she loved it! It was a nice experience and it's set in a beautiful hotel. We ate a la carte, we got the trifles which where delicious! They need to be bigger lol. We got some pastries and finger sandwiches -the pear finger sandwich isn't nice but that's just my opinion. I got coffee and my mum got green tea. It's a lovely place to go to, it's relaxing and quiet. Our server was nice, polite and quietly spoken.

I agree! I first decided on the Tea Room for the a la carte offerings, I had my heart set on the cheese plate and the blue stilton. It's still a nice menu but the charm is partly gone.When will the dumbing down of menus END, The ala carte menu allowed you try new and interesting things
I agree! I first decided on the Tea Room for the a la carte offerings, I had my heart set on the cheese plate and the blue stilton. It's still a nice menu but the charm is partly gone.
After reading some reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor, I believe the a la carte menu is being honored for the most part, which makes everything even more confusing!
