The Tudor Lodge Hotel in Pinner (Eastcote) is located a short walk away from Eastcote tube station, and it's in my local area. I visited for afternoon tea at the beginning of the month; I have walked by the building many times and have wondered what it is like inside as it is a very old building. They also have an Indian restaurant at the hotel. The hotel was built in the 15th century and was a farmhouse. The building was converted into a hotel in the 1990s and modernized with a new area for additional rooms.
I had the afternoon tea, which included a glass of Prosecco and a selection of four different types of sandwich with cucumber, chicken, cheese, and egg fillings. The sandwiches were tasty. It was all served on an attractive multi-tier tea tray.
The restaurant itself looks modern with tile floor and wallpaper, decorative table settings, and set amongst the old room with low black beams in Tudor style architecture.
I had the English Breakfast tea, but there was a menu to select from.
There were four fruit scones with clotted cream, strawberry jam, and fresh strawberries. The scones were delicious, and the fresh fruit was a nice touch.
The pastries were disappointing as they all consisted of different types of cheesecake, and I am not a fan of cheesecake at all. I would have liked a selection of different types of pastry or desserts and not just different types of cheesecake. So, I was not a fan of these, but cheesecake-lovers would have appreciated it. I left them as I dislike cheesecake.
I would like to come back to see what the dinner is like, but afternoon tea was good and a relaxed atmosphere.
