    I had the most amazing afternoon tea on my birthday at the Reubens, we were attentively served by Carlotta, Ellie (she was Irish) and Trina. The venue, and the food were amazing. The thoughtful additional touch of a cake for my birthday was amazing and I am very grateful. We had cocktails and the Queens swan is a must if you like a sweet drink- it was also beautifully presented.
