    Some years ago in Paris during quite a very 'low' period of my life I had just bought some English papers on the Rue de Rivoli and as I passed the Ritz on Place Vendome I popped in hoping for tea. A very polite lady in charge told me that all the tables were reserved and it would have been better to book ahead. I thanked her and turned to leave when she caught up with me and touching my shoulder she asked me to wait and she would be back. A few minutes later she was back and told me that a young man would come out of a side door and I was to follow him. I did and he took me down the corridor to the very private hotel pool area where they had set up a table on the balcony overlooking the pool with white linen and silver, just one table. I was stunned and ordered tea and cake and sat writing and reading for about 40 minutes before paying and making my way back to the foyer. I asked to speak with the lady in question and when she appeared I hugged her and asked her 'why'? She said that she saw something in my eyes and knew that she had the power to change that so she did. Her name was Marie Claude and I will never ever forget her.

    In 2017 during the Christmas season my husband and I were traveling to the UK with our best friends. I reserved months in advance a Christmas Tea for us all at the Ritz. It did not disappoint. The Christmas decor was stunning. Everyone was dressed up and it was so festive. We had a wonderful table in a corner of the Palm Court. There were Christmas Carolers by the piano. This is one of my best memories 😍

    Thanks to you and your sister for the vlog. I’ve done the Ritz Tea in Paris three or four times. The Paris version is completely different than the London Tea. The Paris version is a “French Tea.” That means it is only cakes/sweet foods, not savory foods. The setting in Paris is much calmer and you are not rushed at all. If you decide to jump on the Eurostar to Paris for a day trip, make a reservation to have tea at the Ritz Paris.

      Many years ago I was in Paris for a while and invited a visiting friend to the Paris Ritz for tea. It was, as you said, different from an English tea. We ordered "deux quarts de champagne" (two quarter bottles of champagne) and some cake. As I was walking back to my apartment on the left bank I heard this most angelic sound from Notre Dame. The Pope happened to be i Paris and a choir was singing from the cathedral. Unforgettable afternoon.

    Our sons treated us to Afternoon Tea at the Ritz for our 40th wedding anniversary. We loved it! We had strolled around London,including Oxford Sreet which we used to love visiting as newly weds. It's not quite as exciting nowadays! After the tea we walked through Green Park(i think it was Green Park!) and stood outside Buckingham Palace which I had never seen and then a long walk back to find a train home. London is fascinating city. We recently celebrated our Golden Wedding a bit more low key with a family lunch,low key but lovely.

    I will be honest, I don’t think that is worth £70. those sandwiches looked as cheap as anything, and it’s disappointing to not have fresh, warm scones. Top that with the loud background noise and uncomfortable seating at those tables and feeling rushed to get back out of the door.. nope. It’s a no for me.

Maybe it’s good to try before saying no 😄. At least it’s my opinion I agree I wouldn’t go expensive places like that often they are meant for special occasions it’s nice to treat yourself sometimes. That lady looks very nice and I enjoy her videos unfortunately I can’t afford going to the shop she goes. 😄 She looks to be quite regal.

Afternoon tea has taken off in Melbourne Australia over the past few years as the tourists from Asia love it. I liked that you were honest with your review. And I would expect a pretty high standard from the Ritz so your feedback is appreciated.

    Hi Hannah! I went for the Christmas afternoon tea and I had a similar experience to you, sandwiches were very underwhelming and we found the scones not the best. We did like the savoury cakes however, for £102 per person it was not really worth it even though the room and vibes were nice. I haven’t been to Claridges yet, it’s on my go to next!

      Btw to book for the Ritz Christmas afternoon tea you need to email them or call early May time. Also they start releasing dates on their online booking system from around early to mid May time! Also I completely agree, the experience did feel abit rushed, we were in and out within an hour and a half. We did notice this and it did slightly ruin what was meant to be such a special occasion.

    Honestly, being charming and having a good personality, i understand why some genders might dislike this, and other, videos. I hope you never change. I hope you never get sad about any comments on your channel and just keep on going. This is my new favourite channel. I am binge-watching all your videos:) Stay the same. Sending you love.

    It's always a good day when the Ricketts girls are together. Of course the Ritz is the picture of elegance, but I don't know if you got good value for your hard earned money. Afternoon tea is always something I admired about British culture and you guys did it with absolute class. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to your next vlog. Your friend Mike.

    Hi Hannah and Nat! Wow, the style of the Ritz is just so opulent and beautiful.
    The toilets are gorgoeus...but nothing beats Sketch!🤣🥚
    You two are just so super happy, and lovely people to watch, so thank you, because your cheeriness shines through. 🥂🤍🇬🇧

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I will never be able to visit such a beautiful place like The Ritz for such an experience. I have been to afternoon teas and even hosted one, but not on the scale of this one. Thank you again.

    This vlog of your afternoon tea 🫖☕🍰at the Ritz is really wonderful. Indeed, a very good choice! The Ritz architecture and decoration are amazing and perfect for any celebration. By the way, you and your sister Natalie were amazingly gorgeous! Everything was really perfect! Just missing a Rolls-Royce Phantom V or Bentley outside the hotel entrance waiting for you and Natalie! It is always so cool to see you two together commenting and interacting in your vlogs. I wish you two a wonderful FRIYAY!😀

    Great vlog Hannah, always enjoy your content. We went to Afternoon Tea in Harrods in January and I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as the one at Fortnum and Masons, but have to say it was really good. Lots of space between tables, carpet on the floor so not noisy, fantastic piano player, great service, food was really good and very generous servings and they didn’t rush us at all. We had 2 hours and it was great. Was good value, I think was £60pp and I would recommend. Going to try Claridges next.

    I'm a cream first kind of gal. And when it comes to the sandwiches, I try to eat them in order of least to greatest flavor. This allows me the ability to taste the very subtle flavor notes of the less robust tasting bits.

    Great vlog, Hannah and Nat. I've been to the Ritz for tea, for a special occasion, a number of years ago, and you're spot on with your review! It's exactly how we felt! But it's still a lovely experience. Btw, as far as other Afternoon Teas go, we went for one in our local pub and it was brilliant! Beautifully laid out, exactly as you'd expect...and we stayed for a bit of a drink afterwards!

Love your cheery, heartfelt reporting. Keep up the good work! Cheers! 🤩From San Diego, California

    Hannah, you two are adorable. I'm so glad I found you today. Just before this one, I watched the Power Station mall vlog. Delightful content, I'm in the US, and I love all things British. Can't wait to find the Savoy tea vlog. You are a breath of fresh air.❤ I live going to tea too.

    There is also a ritz in manhattan. my foster mom took my foster sisters here for tea for their birthdays if they wanted it. I used to be so jealous lol. I had no idea how beautiful it was and now seeing this I feel so blessed that they had this amazing experience. It looks so fun.

When I’m next over there an afternoon tea is one of the first things I’m going to have, mainly because I’m years overdue for my “clotted cream fix”, lol. Joking aside, I just love all the places you go .. you always entertain us so beautifully ❤️ See you next week xx

    Oh Hannah, this has got to be the best afternoon tea review I have seen! I am especially interested because I’ll be in London this summer with a girlfriend and she and I have talked about doing the Ritz tea. We may well still do it, but now we’ll know what to expect! By the way, we have done the tea at Claridge’s and were not disappointed with ANYTHING. It was all lovely and not rushed, and the wait staff was lovely. Thank you for doing this vlog!
