Orders

The placing of an order constitutes your acceptance of The Ritz London’s Terms & Conditions of trading but does not constitute the creation of a contract. The Ritz London reserves the right to decline to process an order for any reason whatsoever. The contract is between you and The Ritz London, once we have processed your order and received payment. For the protection of our customers and to ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. If an order cannot be fulfilled for any reason, The Ritz London will promptly refund all monies. Duplicate orders are sometimes inadvertently placed or despatched. We ask that you return any duplicates immediately or contact us for further instructions. Should both vouchers be used, we will be entitled to claim payment for the costs incurred.

There are five sittings for Afternoon Tea every day (11.30am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.30pm). To avoid disappointment, we recommend that customers book well in advance, at least four to six months for Afternoon Tea vouchers and six to eight weeks for the majority of the other vouchers.

We accept experience vouchers on the following days but with a supplement payable; St Valentine's Day; Mother's Day, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, New Year's Day. and Christmas Afternoon Tea from the 3rd week of November to the 1st January the following year. 

For Ritz Restaurant bookings, unfortunately on Valentine's Day, The Ritz Annual Ball, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day your voucher will not be accepted due to the special menus available.

We strongly advise that you do not make any travel, accommodation or other arrangements until you have received confirmation of your booking. Once a date has been booked, your voucher will be deemed to be used at that point.
