What diners say
Satisfy your schnitzel cravings. I loved the cucumber pickled salad too. Post Easter sun meant a glass of Riesling & the Gruner Veltliner was spot on. End of my work day so I could indulge in Pinot Noir, La Foule. Classic coffee in a proper pot & the famous Black Forest Gateux to go. Service & front of house exceptional as expected with the Woseley team.

A magnificent experience from start to finish. The multi-tiered tea stand at The Wolseley City is a work of culinary art. The finger sandwiches are delightful. The scones are a true highlight, wonderfully warm, slightly crumbly, and superb when spread with clotted cream and jam. The selection of sweets is equally impressive, with the Battenberg and the chocolate delice being standout items. This is more than just a meal; it’s an elegant ritual, and the service and atmosphere in the stunning room create a sense of occasion. For an iconic afternoon tea in London, this is, without doubt, five stars.

Located right in the City, this is a beautiful venue that is highly suitable for business meals. The grand atmosphere is excellent, and the food tastes great—the seafood, in particular, was very fresh. However, the one major downside is that the food service was incredibly slow.
