The Wolseley
7 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/london, r/LondonFood9 comments cited below
What people say, in short
The Wolseley draws recommendations for brunch, afternoon tea or coffee and cake, but views on value differ. One brunch visitor praises the kedgeree and setting, and a separate breakfast recommendation singles out the sweet grapefruit dish as more of a side. Another person considers it relatively affordable, while a critic expects good food but questions the breakfast value. A different contributor prefers Zedel. Older booking and cream-tea accounts are not current service guarantees.
