Afternoon Tea

All the walking that took place in the Wallace collection obviously meant we were famished and had definitely burned out our breakfast sins. The Wallace Restaurant is located within the beautiful Wallace Collection which is in an enclosed courtyard.



The location is spectacular - comfy seating and natural daylight without the worry of rain or excess sunshine in our case.



Now I did do a review check on this restaurant prior to ordering and I did see some negative reviews and I just wasn’t sure about ordering sandwiches or soups for the prices advertised and thought let’s make it special.

So we ordered the Afternoon tea with 2 earl grey teas.

At £17.50 each, I thought the tea was really good value and quiet filling too. The food was good – not your 5* quality but not bad considering entry to the museum was free. The tea consisted of

1. Sandwiches (smoked salmon, coronation chicken, egg, ham and cheese), this was passable and tasted fine ,at perfect room temperature

2. Scone (1each) was out of this world, accompanied by gorgeous clotted cream and jam.

3. 3 types of pastries the lemon meringue tart , white chocolate with white chocolate mousse on it and a milk choc solid mousse on a piece of choc mousse with a jam centre, proper jammie dodger style. I personally loved the Chocolate solid mousse which tasted so decadent. While my friend CeeCee was a fan of the white chocolate mousse on white chocolate

There are no re-fills but that's to be expected for this price - it works out as four finger sandwiches, one scone and three mini cakes per person. The staff were really friendly and the service was real quick.

So definitely would recommend this for affordable tea in central London. More tummy sins to burn…sigh!!!
