yes, we went this year, it was very good, two of us had english tea and one had green tea, scones, sandwiches, followed by strawberries and cream. and a glass of champayne each. tea is brought to you in a lovely tea pot and poured by your server.
a fantastic experience, well worth a visit,

This is a real favorite of mine. I've been to several parties (baby shower, bridal shower) there and it has always been a great time!

We did it last Easter. It was very nice and I'm glad we have done it but I'm happy with that and wouldn't rush to do it again.

We did this last year. It was very nice, but not to be compared with afternoon tea at Brown's in London (granted this is much more expensive!). Worth doing, tho. I would have said, like truesdpr, that once would have been enough, and I wouldn't rush back, but DM and DF are coming with us for part of our time there next year, and they want to do it, so guess we'll be going again!
we did this in march and it was lovely but the sandwiches are a let down, the childrens peanut butter and jelly tasted better than our grown up ones
my son liked the fact that you get "mrs potts tea" (choc milk) in the same china teapots that the mums and dads teas come in
it wasn't cheap at $80 + tip for the 4 of us but it was peaceful and a relaxing time out from the hustle and bustle of the parks
i wouldn't do it again though, once is enough

I love it! Normally I get the Sally Lunn tea, which isn't badly priced at all. The trifle is amazing!

Thanks for all the replies. I'll definately book for them and i'll see what the DW & DD want to do nearer the time.

We did it in april and it was nice, but not as nice as afternoon tea at the pump house in bath.

I did it recently with some American friends. It was nice if not completely authentic!

We did this in September, and enjoyed it very much.
