"Pop into the Sanderson restaurant at the eponymous 5-star hotel for a magical Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea. You’ll thoroughly appreciate this trip down the rabbit hole, with clever touches including vintage-book menus and quirky delicacies such as marshmallow mushrooms, carrot meringue and Swiss roll-style sandwiches that scream “eat me” and “drink me”."

Condé Nast Traveller

"The best afternoon tea in London: Mad Hatter's - The vibe is jolly, with guests sat together around two long tables, making it perfect for birthday parties and celebrations with friends."

Julie Falconer

"Like Sketch, this is a tea where the pastries taste as good as they look, and where the Courtyard Garden setting feels like Alice’s Wonderland. Add to that the attention to detail, and this afternoon tea checks all my boxes."

Dan Crane

"Leave it to the Sanderson, one of Philippe Starck’s surrealist fantasy hotels, to offer the Mad Hatter Afternoon Tea. As a homage to Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” the event is just as colorful and quirky as it sounds."

Olivia Grace

"If you've ever wanted to 'tumble down the rabbit hole' in true Alice and Wonderland style (or at least taste what it'd be like)- afternoon tea at The Sanderson is pretty irresistible."

Steph Harmon

"The waiter called Andres was very tentative and firstly offered us a selection of their speciality teas to start off with. Rhubarb and custard and chocolate mint. Good start indeed. The sandwiches were all nicely wrapped and they even managed to use rye bread which made me one happy customer."

Ellie Bates

"Now, I have to say The Mad Hatter’s Afternoon tea just isn’t for you if you like traditional. Forget the usual finger sandwiches and French patisserie; this tea is laden with quirky, brightly coloured delights."

Paul Baldwin

"If the heavyweight London tea rooms are a bit too imposing for you then the hilarious Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea just might fit the bill."

Yvette Caster

"Alcohol-infused cakes and four botanical cocktails? Yes please. Treats include a red velvet vodka ladybird, rose and cucumber G&T, a Pimms-infused drink me potion, banana and rum bread-and-butterfly and savoury scones."

Emily Scrivener

"Tumble down the rabbit hole with the Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson Hotel. Guests are invited to enter the surreal world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, sampling culinary delights inspired by his famous book."
