This is what a blog should be, it's like watching a friends day out. Funny, lovely and honest...absolutely love the channel and yes that definitely felt like a rip off. It must also be said, you always look amazing in you videos.

Thanks so much for this lovely video. Super impressed with the littlest member of the group setting her napkin across her lap so promptly. Not every kid has that kind of great table manners.

What could be more delightful than a beautifully elegant £300! afternoon tea with 4 charming Ladies of Londontowne. Thanks for bringing us along!😊❤

My mother would have sent those sandwiches back, and complained about cold scones. Who serves cold scones? That was the worst afternoon tea you have ever had to go through for us. No tablecloths, bah humbug, and your waiter could not pronounce the cakes properly. My mother taught herself to slice quantum loaves (11/2 times ordinary loaf), lengthways in thin slices after removing the crusts, to make her finger sandwiches. She would have shrieked at the terrible egg mayo, we had to finely grate all the boiled eggs for hers, even the cucumbers were not uniformly sliced. Then not to let you take the remainder home. I am showing my age. (My mother once sent her steak back 3 times at the Hilton for not being cooked properly and being tough). You really do give great content. Thank you

Always wonderful to see Nat and the little ladies joining you for afternoon tea Auntie Hannah is the best ❤

Stunning location - the Lanesborough is fabulous and the afternoon tea looks delicious. But, £300 is my grocery shopping for a month. So, I'll just dream and bookmark it for a lottery win... thanks for taking us along.

Thank you for letting us tag along on your Afternoon Tea. It´s truly valuable to know where to go for a nice Afternoon Tea-treat in London, and where NOT to go. Noted. Thank you.

Beautiful room without doubt! It would all have ended with "stale" dry anything for me! Regardless of my being a chef, it would not matter if it where a simple café, stale is not acceptable. For this price inexcusable! All you both mentioned from table cloth and everything at once is what high tea is about. Tea bags, Sugar strips ect at this premium price! And no take home! Yes it seems I am moaning, but when people go to a beautiful grand hotel for something magical, this is a let down of the worst sort. You are right, it is so taking the "P"! The architecture and the room was absolutely beautiful however, and maybe a normal lunch is the answer here? As ever I like going on the trip with you, Your sister is lovely and the children are so well behaved. Thanks again for you special no nonsense delivery. I think I like the Ritz and F&M teas the most.

you're such good sister and aunt. Thank you for showing off the architecture as well and general aesthetic of the event.

I agree. I think the table setting and service leave a lot to be desired. Having everything served in one go, means the table is overcrowded and the scones are not served at the premium temperature. It’s slapdash service to save staff coming to the table to check on guests. Teabags!!! And the children deserved so much better. Totally agree about table cloths. For the money, definitely not good enough - they need to up their game! Thank you for testing this out for us and saving us from a less than special and over priced afternoon out! Loved seeing you with the family -great vibe Hannah! 🎉

Yes I have to agree that £300 for two adults and 2 children being served from a children's menu seems a bit steep. And I know what you mean about getting it all at once. Doesn't that take some of the specialness away? I think of Afternoon Tea as being a bit of an event and the presentation is a large part of it. I agree about the tablecloths too! However, the dining room and hotel were lovely and you were all such good company! So it's a win!

And her beautiful sister too what a treat these video is.

Hannah is a spectacular ambassador for London! ❤

You, your sister and those precious nieces - how perfect!! 😍 😍😍😍 I love that you’re back and will watch whatever you film!

I know you are in London and I'm not but went we went for Mother's day afternoon tea at a lovely local hotel and it cost £87 for 5 of us including 2 children but no fizz. We were able to take things home that we didn't eat, we took cakes, scones and my boys sandwiches home. It was in a beautiful room, linen table clothes and napkins with beautiful vintage crockery too. Feels like these London hotels really ramp up the prices, the cakes looked beautiful but also looked very samey and like what they looked like was more important than taste. The felt like the attention to details was missing maybe with the sandwiches and stuff which is probably why you feel how you do.

It was fun to share afternoon tea with you ladies. The girls are growing up and are so beautiful. I would be very disappointed with that tea considering the price. The sandwiches looked rag-tag with the yellow filling on the surface. There should be tablecloths, loose tea and hot water pots. Anytime we’ve visited the UK, we enjoyed afternoon tea in the rural areas and I have to say they had more class for less cost. (Being from the colonies, we would be loading the scones into our handbags. 😝)Really enjoyed the video. Thank you. 💕🇨🇦

Not letting you take the food you couldn’t eat what waste! After all you have paid for it😢. Thanks for another insightful video ❤😊

Excellent vlog, Hannah! An absolute joy to see you, your sister, and nieces enjoying afternoon tea on such a beautiful afternoon and in such glorious surroundings. The adults tea itself looked spectacular. Thank you for your reviews of afternoon tea in so many places. They are very informative and helpful. Happy Friday and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

For the price I agree they could have use tablecloths, thanks hannah for taking us along

How lovely, I get to have my morning coffee with your afternoon tea, in glorious surroundings (at both ends, I'm in warm California sunshine, you're in the lap of luxury at the Lanesborough!) and wonderful company, What a privilege! Thank you ladies.🥰 P.S: Yes please, Hannah, more whinging, whenever necessary!

I just kept on refreshing Hannah's youtube page on the dot until this new video became available. Friday has been once again made and blessed by Your Grace!

Hi Hannah, very unfortunate that you didn't have a better experience for the money that you paid, Maybe a bit of shrinkflation happening as they don't let you take anything away. Thanks for sharing and I thought your nieces were adorable. Loved the curtsy at the beginning.

Beautiful day in London. Thank you for taking us with you.

Never mind girlies - live and learn - lovely to see you all together x

Congratulations Hannah on your 170k subscribers! What a beautiful Hotel! Really amazing. I loved to see you, Natalie and your nieces having goods moments. Hannah your afternoon tea 🥞🍰🍮🫖🍵 vlogs are always the best! Have a wonderful FriYay to you, Natalie and your nieces! 🙂💐🌹🌺🌻🌷🇬🇧

I love it when you and your sister hang out and take us along on your afternoon tea 'adventures' , it's an extra bonus to see your nieces join you, the girls are so well behaved and polite 🤩🤩🤗 - you definitely have the same 'ranking' with all the other coolest aunts of the world!!! - thanks for taking us along with you Hannah. ❣

Totally agree - if you’re paying 300 pounds for high tea at a luxe establishment- from service to the table details you’d expect everything to impeccable 😅 I did watch your Ritz video and was impressed how it looked and felt like high tea atmosphere. Totally agree Hannah 👍🏽 Thank you for sharing and showing us this high tea experience with your family!

Great to see you as always and for including your sister and the 2 adorable lovely ladies. It would be wise for the hotel to watch your video and make immediate changes and invite you back, comp. I agree completely for $330.00 it was a poor value in a beautiful setting. They definitely need tablecloths, loose tea, nicer sandwiches, and telling adults to share a bun is ludicrous, crown and all. The children’s sandwich’s looked atrocious. And cold scones and runny jam. Really!!! For that price, no thanks. Hope they make changes. PS. Valentine’s tea, not a single thing of Valentine’s. Thank you for sharing💗

Fantastic vlog! Shame about the afternoon tea. (The Library Bar at the Lanesborough is genuinely wonderful.) Always so jolly with your sister and nieces!! Thanks for sharing!✨🤗

That looks lovely, beautiful setting, enjoy 🌹💕

Hello Hannah, I really agree with you, the experience seems average, I don't like tables without a tablecloth for an elegant tea. I don't book if there is no tablecloth in an exceptional place, it's part of the quality welcome, it's also less noisy and contact is more pleasant. Although this may seem exaggerated to some, it is important to me. the scones must be warm and taking away treats is a pleasure that continues at home....for the price it is important. thank you again for your videos you and your family are charming, have a nice week end

Oh my gosh! Hannah's nieces are adorable! That hotel is gorgeous but, i agree, thats a steep price for what you got.

Thank you! Always nice to see you, your sister, and nieces having a tea party.

I’m from the southern US, Georgia, and the debate on butter or jam first on biscuits rages on here, similar to scones. I’ve always put on butter then jam and when in England I put Devonshire cream and then jam on my scones. Love your videos, I’ll forward to them every week!

Wonderful Hanna being with the family sis is so great with you you’re so comfortable and relaxed great job!❤

It's such a treat to get to feel like we're having tea in London. I was kind of shocked at the quality there vs the price, though! Your nieces are adorable, and it's so good that you all get to spend time together making memories. ♥ More whingeing please!

Thank you for sharing this with us. You are so appreciated. It is also delightful to see your lovely family.

Hi Hannah! Thank you for taking us along!! Your little nieces are lovely!! And it’s always good to see your sister as well. I agree about the afternoon tea..that’s just too expensive!

Good to see u back on KZfaq Hannah. Good video.

Afternoon tea with Hannah are my favorite series! 🤩The presence of adorable nieces and a sister makes these videos very cozy and emotional 😊

Oh wow, I’ve been there many times for dinner. Love the interior! Thanks for showcasing this and letting us know of your thoughts

Hi Hannah, lovely to see you and your sister and nieces...they are always such well behaved girls. It's a real shame about the children's tea. Comparing it to your other afternoon tea's you have reviewed, this wasn't up to their standards, like you both said, nothing special...so thank you for going to we don't have to. 😀 But is was fun to go along with you. I love these outings. Have a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x ❤🌸🌺

Thank you Hannah Ricketts & your family for taking your viewers along w/you on your afternoon tea luncheon. How lovely! What a beautiful hotel! WOW!

It's Hannah Friday!!! Thanks for sharing !! Always wonderful when you and your Sister provide reviews!🥰🥰

Hi Hannah Great vlog…….lovely room. Fantastic to see your sister and nieces. Think the afternoon tea we had at Mandarin Oriental was a little better…..smaller room but sandwiches cakes and scones look superior.

hello again! loved seeing sis again and the girls, better watch out they may take over your channel, just loved seeing the room, the food did look a bit common, til next week!!!

I'm so sorry I forgot to mention, how nice it was to see Nat again. It's always lovely to see you two out and about. Wonderful content.

A joy to watch, as are all your videos. What a charming, relaxing and enjoyable outing for a viewer this was, with the added bonus of not having to pay that rather excessive bill. Thanks, superb!

Absolutely agree with your comments and opinions. The proverbial is being taken now for afternoon teas. But, when they are booked up so far ahead they know they can get away with high prices.

There was a moment in the play-by-play analysis I thought I was watching sporting event. I love when you share tea with us. Love you Hannah ❤❤❤

Hi Hanna, I agree with you that it fell a bit short for the price you paid. I was in London last fall and took your advice on having The Mad Hatter Tea at the Sandridge Hotel. We had a very enjoyable tea and a nice leisurely time. The food was fresh, service was friendly and appreciated that we had time to relax and not overly attended too or made to think we had to leave. So glad I did this while visiting. We went to many of the places you have featured. Returning in the fall again so I'll continue to watch your vlogs. Thank you for all the great content, spot on.

Thank you for taking us along. You do a wonderful job and the videos are always enjoyable. ❤😊

Try Browns in Mayfair, we really enjoyed it there. Their attention to details was very good. The food was served in order rather than all at once. 😊

I really enjoy watching Hannah and her sister showing interesting places to go for tea in London and their practical observations of the food and serviice. I also watched a video about Gentleman afternoon tea which had more savory meat sandwiches, and included fish and chips, did not not leave out the champagne, cakes, and scones. It was less expensive than the more expensive hotels. I had never heard of a Gentlemans afternoon tea. It was on Insider Food from a month ago A British foodie guy showing an American foodie guy around three places that had very good afternoon tea. The places were Swan London, Cafe Royal, and Bridget's Bakery. Hopefully gentlemans afternoon tea does not keep women from ordering the same tea it would be a shame LOL, because the guys seemed to have better food selection and price for their money. Definitely better than the Lanesborough, Hannahs nieces should not have had a choice of sandwiches where any of them were stale. Glad your bach Hannah!

I love seeing you with your beautiful family! Another great vlog Hannah! xo

Thank you for another great video. Lovely to see your sister and nieces again. They have grown.

The girls STOLE the show!! Their little voices give me so much life!!! ❤ Love !!!

Stale food and no to go box?? I would have complained, at that price it's completely unacceptable! I would be mortified to have those sandwiches served to my children, stale bread and a sliver of cheese? They're definitely cashing in at this location, I wouldn't waste money here, thanks for sharing this one!

Hannah, Just wanted to comment on how lovely your nieces are: it's obvious that they have been surrounded with much attention and love all their lives! Kudos for being such a loving auntie!

Beautiful setting, but I agree that there were too many “little touches” missing. You need to feel thoroughly pampered at these special (and expensive) places! Even just watching, I could feel how average it all seemed. Finally, as a person who can’t eat a lot at one go, I was shocked there were no take-homes! Quite wasteful, as it’s not like they could serve it to anyone else! Still it was lovely to see this beautiful hotel, and your sister and the adorable girls! Thank you, Hannah, for taking us along. Off to make myself a good strong cup of tea now! 😉😘

Did Afternoon Tea at The Lanes borough & I too would have given it 6/10. I went with 3 friends & we all agreed whilst there that 'Hannah would consider this substandard'.We concluded extremely overpriced & the table absolutely dreadful. When I saw what this week's video was I just knew how your sister & yourself would review the A T. All things considered quite a rip off. Big fan of the channel Hannah. Best wishes Lisa fr Watford

“Subscribe for more whinging” 😂 it’s good to be English isn’t it 😂 always enjoy your vlogs with Nats. Your nieces are gorgeous and funny. Hopefully they will be on more vlogs in the future 😊

I just came over from your Ritz pre-fixe lunch video, and I cannot get over how much more value you got from that experience vs. this one! Also, I wish I could coach Brits in sending things back that are not up to standard 😄 I'm a Canadian (born of English immigrants), so I am afflicted with excessive politeness, but sending things back (politely) is pretty normalized over here. I would've sent those stale sandwiches back in a hot minute. We're always amazed when our UK relatives come to visit and are clearly not enjoing a restaurant meal, but we cannot for the life of us convice them to speak up! You paid an enormous amount of money - the least they can be is fresh 😊

I always enjoy your videos, Hannah. The topics that you film are always entertaining. Thank you. 😀

Delightful video, but have to agree that afternoon tea is a total rip off … no table cloth, uninspiring sandwiches everything served at once and tea bags!! I’ve stayed at the Lanesborough a couple of times and was never overly impressed. The Ritz is far superior for afternoon tea with a nicer more authentic ambience .. btw the Lanesborough used to be a hospital .. one of the rooms we stayed in was definitely haunted .. we mentioned it when we checked out .. the staff seemed to be aware of the fact …

ooh MG.... 328 ponds for finger sandwiches and cakes as small as a button....? Wow. I must say here in Amsterdam , of course influenced by our dear neighbors , the high tea seems more British than in this London establishment..LOVED the vid, the kids are too cute 🥰

😂What a fun video! Always nice to see your sister and nieces joining you for an adventure. Thanks for sharing.

Your nieces are adorable. @17:30 - I think your niece is preparing to take over your job. What a cutie!

Sorry I always think in terms of what could I have bought for 300 pounds at Lidl or Aldi.... But it's a beautiful memory making experience and we do need to live it up sometimes 😊

Thanks for another fun watch 😊the dining room looked wonderful, it’s a shame the food itself was just okay and there was wasn’t enough attention to detail for the premium price. It’s also disappointing they think they can get away with providing the children with stale food and £40 is still a lot to pay! I was surprised you initially gave it a 7 😂 I thought 6/10 was definitely a fair score.

You four have such fun together. Yes, I agree you were ripped off. I do hope they see your vlog and up their game. The decor of the hotel is stunning. Thank you for sharing and showing us another one of your wonderful London experiences. ❤️

"subscribe for more whingeing" hilarious, made me laugh & spit my tea out 🤣🤣✌🏻🧡

Watching a afternoon tea Vlog from you makes me feel fancy... Love seeing Volgs that include your family... Hoping the sun comes out for you... 🌞

So glad that you could take one spot off my list Hannah. I agree, a white tablecloth and I also like a bit more silver and also no take aways, whats up with that! Thanks for the review, I enjoy watching your family together and your nieces are lovely and so is your sister.

Hannah, once again as with every Friday..I’m not getting a notification from KZfaq. Just an FYI for you. Because I used to always. ❤

Cheers Hannah, it’s Sean in Atlanta. Your sister and her two daughters are just adorable and I’m wondering, did you skip into the room like your niece did? Haha! I would buy tickets for that! £300 for afternoon tea and only £10 for shopping? I think you may be a smidge off centre! ( Notice I have my British spelling on just for you!) I have to say I was a bit surprised at the names of all the bits and bobs laid out before you! Half of them went above my American head but I’ll bet they were better than they looked! I don’t understand why people get upset with you for using your fingers when it is actually finger food! The pastries actually made my mouth water! I had a bagel for breakfast… I cannot believe I have never had a scone with cream and jam, or jam and cream! I must be leading a sheltered life! Those little girls are so cute and well-behaved, and they look astounding in their nice clothes! And of course, you and your sister always look beautiful! My last comment would be that I would think they would bring these out in a sort of order, so they didn’t get stale or crusty. But what do I know? Thank you for taking me to afternoon tea, and I can’t believe I didn’t really pay attention to that Hotel as I walked past it every single day for two weeks the last time I was in London… Sean

I agree with you; it's about the little things. The only thing special about it seems to be the building. Thank you for showing us. Your family is adorable.

Lovely afternoon tea with your sister and nieces. Everyone was dressed very chique. Gorgeous dining room! But for £300, omg, left lacking on key points that you mentioned. Love both Natalie and your honesty. I absolutely love your content, Hannah!!❤❤❤❤

What a disappointment for the price. Your nieces are adorable!

Good afternoon ☘️ 🍃 🌱 Amazing ❤❤🎉❤

This is another fantastic video and you are the greatest showing all of the beautiful places in England have a nice weekend take care Hannah.🇬🇧👑🫅👑🇬🇧

I love these reviews, they're such fun and helpful!

Love the teatimes with your sister and nieces. Thanks for all the fun.

❤❤❤ he'llo

I don't think that was worth over £300 I😢

Lovely seeing all the girls together again.💕💕💕💕💫

Thank you, Hannah. It's great to see you, your Sister and your nieces.

Hannah! I tried to message or share it on IG but couldnt. I saw that The Shard has a Peter Pan afternoon tea!!! Is this something you would consider reviewing?! I’d love to watch a video on it.

Fun video as always. Love to see you and your sister with her wonderful daughters enjoying afternoon tea. The building was beautiful even if the food didn’t live up to expectations.

I love this video. Great seeing the kids and your sister. The venue is beautiful. The tea sandwiches and cakes didn't look like they deserved the expensive price. I think I would forego a tea. Still a fun video. Love your nieces. So cute!!😊❤

I really love your videos! it's lovely to see a comparison with other similar experiences!

Your nieces are so sweet! And any video with your sister is so, so good

Hi Hannah 🌺, that hotel was beautiful, I especially loved the green room with the drapes! Thanks for taking us to tea. Doesn’t seem that this one hit the mark 😕. Another lovely video. See you next Tuesday. Have a great weekend ❤️

Hannah, it's always lovely to see you ❤❤❤❤

It's really great to see you and your sister. Stay close!

There’s always time for Tea❤beautiful family ❤have a lovely weekend Hannah

Another fantastic video Hannah. I’m a little surprised at your experience there though, albeit I completely understand your comments . We went last year for the afternoon tea and found it superb, probably better overall than The Ritz. Something has changed by the looks of it. We certainly were given the option of taking home the scones (we ate everything else😋) and we did. We thought it felt very calming and serene, compared to Ritz which I feel seems a little more hectic. I do agree completely with you about the lack of a table cloth!

Beautiful day in London. Thank you for taking us with you
