Ritz London Launches Investigation After Mouse Spotted During Afternoon Tea

Guests reported anxiety as the rodent crossed the dining room at the £95-per-adult service.

Overview

  • Diners say the mouse was first seen at about 8:30 p.m. on January 11 and was spotted three times over roughly an hour.
  • Video shared with media shows the animal running across the restaurant floor as staff searched the area.
  • A Ritz spokesperson said the hotel takes the matter seriously and is carrying out a full investigation.
  • Patrons described disappointment given the premium, five-sitting afternoon tea experience and pricing for adults and children.
  • Coverage notes a separate activist stunt in early December involving manure at the hotel, which is unrelated to the rodent report.
