I’ve always travelled into central London for afternoons like this so when I discovered that the Radisson Edwardian Blu New Providence Wharf hosted an afternoon tea, being a local girl, I had to go and try it out for myself! We went as a group of six to Scoff and Banter, to celebrate a birthday. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by name and taken through to the conservatory where we were seated at our table. This was beautifully decorated with pretty china cups and saucers and all of the tables in the conservatory boast a great view of the Thames and the O2 arena. It was picturesque in the afternoon winter sun. We were first offered a variety of teas, some of which were quite unusual such as the jasmine flowering tea. Not the most flavoursome but definitely the prettiest. Then came the tiers of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, jellies, tarts and other sweet treats. We tried everything on offer and there was something for everyone. The service was impeccable. Someone was always at hand to make sure we had enough tea. The staff on the day made a huge fuss over the birthday girl as well, The Radisson Edwardian Blu is picturesque in the afternoon sun bringing out a birthday tart for her with a candle in, whilst singing Happy Birthday. The only negative I had about the day was that our request for extra vegetarian sandwiches was missed and we had to ask again once the food had been served. As soon as we brought up this problem, however, we were given a whole plate of extra vegetarian fare. The afternoon was perfect and we all left feeling very full and spoilt. For £19.50 per person, it’s a value for money experience that feels like a central London day out. I would highly recommend it. Scoff and Banter is at the Radisson Edwardian Blu New Providence Wharf, 5 Fairmont Avenue, E14. Tel: 7987 2050.
