Sorry Jaynie, haven't been but it sounds really grand. By the way welcome to the forum.[msnsmile2]
They do a number of set menus which feature a variety of teas, sandwiches, and desserts. It's very nice but not cheap, cannot remember the exact price.

Its great and does not have too expensive unless you go OTT. I usually do and it costs me around $25 for an excellent pot of tea, sandwiches, glass of champagne and cakes. Pot of tea (it is very good quailty tea and fine bone china) is around $6. My kids really like it too.
Much prefer it to to the oter tea rooms in the area. Much nicer setting and service is always perfect.

I usually do the Buckingham Palace tea as I do not drink alchohol. It costs $17 and I always feel very full at the end. This used to be a well kept secret but these days I would advise you to get a Priority Seating if you are there during a busy period. I also recommend giving yourself enough time to just sit and relax in the atrium afterwards as there is always a pianist or the jazz band playing. I have seen older children enjoy this tea but I don't think its any fun at all for the under 7's.
What time is the afternoon tea at GF? Sounds good
Last time I was there I think it started around 3:00pm but that was over a year ago so it may have changed

This sounds like a 'must do' especially with the Champers!!
