Combining elegance and tradition with contemporary art and a vibrant atmosphere, the Ham Yard hotel serves a fine festive afternoon tea. For about £30 a head, you get an array of sandwiches, cakes, macaroons, scones with jam and clotted cream, crumbly mince pies, and other morsels, washed down with mulled wine and tea, of course. If the hotel runs out of mulled wine, you may be offered some fizz instead. Your only complaint might be the food seems to favour the sweet-toothed, as the sandwiches can be a bit bland. 8/10
