Richmond Tea Rooms

Richmond Tea Rooms is my absolute go-to spot for afternoon tea — not just for its central location, but for its charming atmosphere and consistently delicious food. It’s a popular place and can get quite busy, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation in advance, which is exactly what we did. As we had someone with coeliac at the table, we ordered one gluten-free Queen’s Afternoon Tea, and for myself, the Alice Afternoon Tea (not gluten-free). We were genuinely impressed by everything we tried, but the scones were without a doubt the real highlight and the one we found ourselves missing the most afterwards. Having tasted both the regular and gluten-free versions, I can confidently say that both were excellent. Another lovely touch is that the teapots come with a one-time refill, which makes the whole experience feel even more generous and relaxed. The venue itself has such an authentic and immersive atmosphere. The staff are incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. A huge thank you to the entire team. I’m already counting down the days until my next visit.

Always a fab time at the tea rooms from Afternoon tea to Christmas meals the food is always divine and the staff are beyond helpful. Set in a beautiful Alice In Wonderland fantasy theme, the decor is stunning, the toilets are spotless and the cake choice is unreal. Nice touches and the Christmas meals are huge and flavourful, home made giant yorkies to crispy parsnip shavings. Even GF and V choices. We all had a fabulous night here. Thank you so much wish I had taken more pics but was having too much of a nice time xx

It was a place I always said I must visit whenever I passed by. I think it's the best place that reflects both the friendly staff and the British culture of tea and brunch. I'm very grateful for this lovely experience and I definitely recommend you go!
