The Ampersand Hotel

Delicious, fun science themed afternoon tea. The Ampersand is a beautiful hotel but the tea is more low key because of the lounge setting and fun science themed elements. Family memeber with celiac was very happy with their tea. Great treat!

Great Gluten Free Tea. We went with our kids and they have a great Science themed tea, which is also available GF. The staff were great about identifying all possible gluten allergens and kept everything separate for us. The gf scones were excellent - better than we expected for GF. Our tea was fun and exciting, without the pressure of worrying about gluten. Would definitely recommend.

My family enjoyed this afternoon tea and they are not celiac so had the regular options. I had tea and the GF option which tasted excellent. Always feel a cross contamination risk at a place with so many baked goods but i felt safe and enjoyed the meal with no reaction over the post 12-24 hours.

We had such a fun time enjoying the science tea with our family of 5. I have one son with Celiac and we felt good about their GF options and knowledge of GF. Lovely atmosphere, good location. Definitely recommend.

They do a Gluten-free afternoon tea in their tea rooms! Beautifully decorated hotel, usually not too busy. Lovely GF scones, clotted cream etc. Very close to the Natural History Museum.
