Got to be a 5/5.
We came here for a special occasion, as soon as you walk into the hotel you are greeted by the most amazing smell and fresh flowers. The porters are incredibly friendly and direct you to the afternoon tea room. We were given two options of tables and the service was lovely. Table cloth, table ware, the atmosphere were beautiful. You get your own dedicated waiter all the way through your afternoon tea who explains each course. The food was obviously delicious, and we were asked if we wanted another round of sandwiches which was a nice touch. Overall, we were really full by the end of the afternoon tea and had to take one of the deserts home with us.
We really enjoyed our visit and had a lovely time.
Couple of minor suggestions that I would able to the management:
- The takeaway box is really small and our desert unfortunately was very squashed when we got home, that was quite disappointing. A bigger box would fix this issue.
- For the price tag I think a refill of tea should be offered.
Fabulous setting, gorgeous food by chef Dom Taylor. £75 for three courses was well worth it. Cocktails were divine especially his rum 🍹 punch if a bit pricey around £19.00. I would go back for the Caribbean inspired excellent food.

I watched Dom Taylor in Five Star Kitchen on C4 and was chuffed to bits when he won 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
In my view it would be rude not to experience The Good Front Room in the Palm Court at The Langham. The menu caters for everyone, and the waiting staff make sure of your dietary preferences or allergies are a priority. I am a pescatarian and all I can say is the Sea Bass was emotional. The culinary detail of each of the dishes is outstanding and the flavours were literally Oh My Gosh for each mouthful. And those Plantain and Sweet Potato Chips….. knocked it out of the ball park. I have a love hate relationship with Okra and I have never eaten raw okra 😮 however that slaw is delicious 😋 . The Good Front Room is a wonderful premier dining experience with a menu that makes you need to return to ensure you have tried ALL the dishes. The music playing in the background was excellent.
I cannot fault any of the service from reception until we left. The door staff were pleasant and friendly, offered to take our photograph.
Excellent dinner. Waiting staff, professional and friendly. Beautiful background singing from soloist. Wonderful evening - will return if I ever return to Malta 🙂
I had an elegant experience at the hotel where afternoon tea originated.
It was the first day of the New Year, we were served a glass of sparkling wine, a favorite of the British Royal Family.
I was surprised at the quality of the sparkling wine., which was very tasty as it was made using Champagne growing and brewing techniques!
The pleasant bubbles stayed in the liquid until I finished the last sip. It was so good that I went to the department store the next day to find a bottle.
The sandwiches, scones, and sweets were also very good.

I spend my birthday in London and my husband booked reservations for Afternoon Tea. This was pure fabulosity for the birthday day girl. It's a total indulgence you won't forget.
Every bite and sip was perfection.
We had a lovely first-time afternoon tea experience at The Langham!
The food was delicious, and we we got to try five different kinds of tea with unlimited refills. The ambience is lovely and there was live piano. I would've loved if the setlist included more classical pieces.
The highlight of this afternoon was our wonderful waiter, Alam. He took the time to recommend teas based on our taste preferences and explained the flavours of each brew we tried. He was attentive and made sure we were content with all stages of the experience. The extra plate of sandwiches he offered us was the cherry on top! Thank you, Alam :)
My friend and I visited The Good Front Room at The Langham on 18th October when we enjoyed a delicious and innovative Caribbean meal, with a twist.
Had it not been for the prior timely intervention of Chef Dom at our previous visit in August, it would not have been possible for us to have had this experience, for which we remain grateful.
We would have liked to thank Chef Dom in person having enjoyed our meal but sadly, we were not able to do so, due to the extent of his commitments which, he rightly takes very seriously.
We had a memorable evening in beautiful surroundings which we felt was courtesy of not only Chef Dom but also, everyone who played a part, in making this possible.
We understand that Chef Dom's tenure is to be extended into the new year and, we look forward to being able to come back again at some point in the future to build on our positive experience.
Went for the afternoon tea for my wife’s birthday, from start to finish we had the most amazing time, the sandwiches and cakes are just so nice it would be advisable to go in a little hungry as there is a lot of food would highly recommended the afternoon tea for a special treat and will definitely be visiting again

The Good Front Room Launch at The Langham London - Europe’s first ‘Grand Hotel’ that was opened in 1865. Nested in the luxurious dining area, I feel this is the best new modern Caribbean restaurant in the heart of Regent Street, London. The curated menu is tailored by Chef Dom Taylor - the crowned winner of Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef on Channel 4. This latest delicious menu has a combination of very exotic Caribbean style and London’s city vibe. The exotic flavour comes from Caribbean’s most celebrated ingredients, such as plantain, goat, rum and sorrel. And No Spicy at all!!! Sharing my recommendation for your next visit:

First night for The Good Front Room. Beautifully presented Jamaican food by Dom. Loved the fact the Michel Roux was around and greeting us all. Lovely experience💞
We went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had the afternoon tea menu and we each tried a couple of teas. We liked both the savoury and sweet options, but the quantity was small given the price. We liked the atmosphere and the background piano music was great. They also brought a small cake for happy birthday, which was a nice gesture.
This was our first time in London to do tea time. We’ve had teatime in other cities in the U.S., and this was nice but not any better than the U.S. ☺️. However, the pianist was a nice touch and the atmosphere was very good.
My husband & I were visiting from Australia & decided to visit after watching 5 star chef.
Entree & mains were outstanding, bursting with flavour. Desert was good, except the only dairy free option was basically just coconut ice cream - be great to have a more creative option available.
Service, we didn’t find this to be 5 star - the wait staff could have been more attentive. We ordered a bottle of wine, and we refilled our own glasses , as well as had to flag the staff for water, bill etc.
Overall was a nice experience however.
We would have loved to meet Chef Dom, but this was not possible due to his workload.

A cosy intimate restaurant that serves excellent afternoon tea. There is a pianist in attendance throughout the meal. You start with sandwiches and savoury scones, followed by a selection of patisseries, and end the meal with sweet scones. The savoury scones were very good, and the sandwiches, especially the salmon, were excellent. The selection of patisseries, which are "re-imagined" versions of a Walnut whip, Jimmy Dodger, Fig roll, and Custard cream, was not our cup of tea (pardon the pun). We found it a tad too sweet, but it was an interesting take on sweets from a bygone era. The chocolate cake with a sprinkling of coconut flakes was "re-imagined" from the popular Bounty candy bar. The service was excellent. Our server, Zsolt Kovacs, was always nearby but never intrusive. Tea was refilled quickly, and the plates cleared and replaced with new cutlery after each course. Definitely recommended for the occasion that calls for a more elaborate afternoon tea. Do note there is a time limit of an hour and forty-five minutes for each seating, but we were never rushed. Advance reservations are a must.
Great experience. Food was delicious. Staff very attentive and helpful. Dined at The Good Front Room. Very filling food
Great afternoon tea. The place is very beautiful. The waiters are very busy I think they are under staffed.
