Afternoon Tea At Cafe Forty One

The tea experience and breakfast sound lovely. I only had the risotto entree. Staff was very helpful but for a vegan restaurant the staff probably shouldn’t be volunteering “I like my meat” when you ask them about the menu. (New server in all fairness)

The food here is unbeatable, it does however have to be a treat as it's quite pricey but worth every penny. I especially liked the alcohol free Prosecco and the display of the sandwiches is so pretty! I love the edible gold decoration and how tasty it all is!

For anyone who isn’t a UK national and would like to experience the afternoon tea experience but who is also vegan, this is the only option. It’s a bit expensive, but the service and the food is worth it. Nothing brings joy like finger sandwiches and mini cakes.

Overall, my afternoon tea experience was enjoyable and I wouldn't discourage anyone from visiting. I did find it to be a little on the expensive side, but considering the prices in London, it was acceptable. The food was tasty, the hotel/restaurant had a pleasant ambiance, and the staff were friendly.

We stayed at the hotel and had breakfast, which was fine, but nowadays most non-vegan hotels offer as many vegan breakfast options as this all-vegan place. We also had high tea, which was disappointing. Sandwiches were very good, but the scones were dry (or maybe old) and every dessert was chocolate. We left a lot of it.

Had breakfast here, did not stay at the hotel. I had a full English breakfast and ruby latte. The latte was amazing. The English breakfast was okay didn’t care for the tofu scramble at all. It was a bit cold and tasted like unseasoned mushy tofu. The beans, hashbrowns, and sausage was good though! My husband tried the pancakes, and they were delicious!

Had the afternoon tea, nothing stood out, we both felt a little disappointed. Scones were particularly dry. Food was average, as was the setting. For the price we would expect a better table setting, presentation and interesting food. Service was barely average but they automatically add on a service charge. Reminded us of a training cafe, but more expensive.

Was so excited to try this place. A lot smaller than I expected and the decor is unremarkable. Hubby had full breakfast not particularly big, cold scrambled tofu nothing different or exciting. I had chickpea omelette on sourdough which was just OK. Definitely not worth the price or hype. Spent 9 days in London Brighton and this was by far the worst place we ate in

Excellent vegan afternoon tea. Highly recommend that you make a booking, otherwise there may not be free space for you. Service is a bit strange, but they make up for it with their fancy food. I live close to this restaurant and plan to try their dinner options soon, which looked appealing. It’s a nice place to take a date despite the restaurant being located in a hotel. PS- They have vegan croissants.
