Pret-a-Portea Review

My friends and I have been enjoying the pret a protea afternoon tea at the Berkeley hotel Caramel room once a year as a finale to our annual London shopping trip for the past 7 years and this is the first time I have been disappointed. The lovely (good for people watching) Caramel room is closed as the front of the hotel is being re-build and we were stuck next to a noisy birthday party large group of women at the far back this time in the replacement restaurant..not sure what it was called... Very disappointing given the price and previous great experience.the sandwiches are now triangle and not the lovely finger ones, the savoury snacks a disappointment and the cakes had whacky flavours... Saving grace are the utterly delicious scones but pls note that you have to pay extra for those !
