Larder Restaurant - Croydon

Fantastic experience! It was part of my Mom's 70th Birthday weekend so I took her, my 6yr old & my Aunts for Afternoon Tea. The staff were friendly & pleasant at all times. There was a fantastic selection of food which was very fresh & well displayed. Thoroughly enjoyable experience! Thank you.

Cream tea was excellent made a nice change to have an alternative to sandwiches. Staff were very attentive and it was a nice way to spend an afternoon

I had a fantastic experience with my husband who was celebrating his birthday. The receptionist was helpful and the staff at the Lader restaurant who served us was very sweet. The environment was clean and private as expected. I would visit again

Overall it was lovely I took my mum and sister. Every single staff member was kind. We were happy to be in their presence.
Thank you to you all

Lovely setting; the restaurant has been well designed. Unfortunately it was empty; our party of six were the only ones dining.
A nice if rather standard selection of sandwiches and cakes; I'd forgotten to request butter-free sandwiches but the main member of staff serving was excellent and provided two small plates of these for me.

Tea and coffee was lacklustre; even though the afternoon tea cost was £14.50, I would expect a better spruced-up pot of tea and a coffee jug that didn't spill its contents. It would also be nice to have flowers and a brief afternoon tea menu so customers know what to expect.

Overall a decent afternoon tea in nice settings, but would expect more from the Hilton. It wouldn't take too much to get more customers through the door.

Great service and lovely surroundings. Excellent value for money.

We had an afternoon tea:
Pros:
Sandwiches and cakes good.
Scones lovely.
Service polite and helpful.
Affordable price.
Cons:
A couple of the sandwiches were wet and not edible.
The metal parts of the serving-trays appeared dirty.
Tea was too weak.

We had a very pleasant afternoon tea at the Hilton, Croydon. It is Modern, relaxed and very spacious. The food was nicely presented and everything that you would expect from an afternoon tea. The only slight disappointment was that there was not a choice of teas to sample. We were not in any rushed and that was really good as it allowed for us to have a little break midway as sometimes when at other venues it has been on a strict 1.5 hour time limit which can result in having to leave quite a lot but at the Hilton Croydon we were free to take our time and enjoy the afternoon.

First time experiencing Afternoon Tea anywhere and chose Hilton Purley Way for my Mum's Birthday. It's easy and convenient for us to get to and the Parking is convenient. Really enjoyed the first experience and the Food was nice too. Especially enjoyed the Desserts and Scones. The Staff were welcoming, polite and accommodating. Would definitely return again for another experience as the price of £12.00 is reasonable too.

We had a lovely time at the Larder Restaurant for afternoon tea. However, a couple of points worth mentioning were that the staff didn't check in with us regularly enough to see if we wanted a top up of our teas wnd and coffees. Also I was a bit disappointed that both the tea and coffee were searved to us luke warm at best (definitely not freshly boiled water), and given that the restaurant wasn't busy I felt that there was no excuse for that.
A nice day was had but there were improvements to be made.
