TheMedz is totally correct! &well&

It is certainly an experience not to be missed if you are ever in the vicinity!  Don't know what it costs now but last time I went it was a finger short of an arm and a leg!   :D

I can see where you got your link from Yorkie,
http://travel.uk.msn.com/travel-advice/images.aspx?cp-documentid=151799751&page=29

However, I am suspicious that it is correct because for one thing it is the wrong crockery. The Ritz have gold and white and I am sure no coloured glasses.

I looked at Google Images and I think you're right. Well spotted H!

You are quite correct Hollins as to the web site http://travel.uk.msn.com/travel-advice/images.aspx?cp-documentid=151799751&page=29, now tell me why the text refers to afternoon tea at the Ritz?    If it is NOT the Ritz then the author of the web page is wrong NOT ME!

However as some people on this Forum just LOVE to CRITICISE, I will allow them their small moment of false pleasure.

I would guess that I have eaten and drank in more CLASSY and EXPENSIVE London Hotels than every other person on this Forum, but cannot account for the Ritz's choice of crockery when they want a publicity photograph.  The crockery used has enhanced a shot that with plain bordered crockery would have been rather mundane and uninteresting.  There may be a photographer amongst us who would agree with that sentiment.     :rage:

It isn't only the crockery that made me think the website you used was incorrect. It was also the cakes which in my opinion look a bit naff.
In particular the bikini biscuits as there is a strict dress code at the Ritz you know.    ;D
However joking apart you can buy those biscuits and I doubt that the renowned pastry chefs at the Ritz would ever allow bought in items to their restaurant.

Just where is the very best fancy cake shop locally?  Pinnington's and Sumner's have long since gone, and all I can think of is Fortes in Rhos.   ZXZ
