About
Located in the heart of the historic Fullerton Building, The Courtyard is a timelessly elegant setting for leisure dining and the daily ritual of English afternoon tea. - The Courtyard's Traditional Afternoon Tea experience stays true to the English ritual with a classic assortment of finely cut sandwiches and delicate pastries. On selected days, a harpist enchants the high-ceiling atrium with melodious tunes. Enjoy a round of storied teatime staples, from the simple yet elegant cucumber sandwich, favoured by aristocrats in the Victorian era, to the distinctive Battenberg Cake — a quintessentially English dessert, created in 1884 as the royal wedding cake for Princess Victoria, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and Prince Louis of the Battenberg family.

A pleasure to always visit here for high tea. Rey who was assigned to our table has been attentive to our requests, making the whole experience wholesome and cosy. Quiet and peaceful as per how fullerton has always been, this high tea set going at 50++ is definitely worth the try with free flow tea/ coffee and refillable savouries.

Visited today for the afternoon tea with my friend.
We absolutely enjoyed the food and tea (I loved their freeflow scones and savories).
They generously gave us cake and card (with our photo) for celebrating special occasion which we totally didn't expect because we didn't even tell that when we made reservation and it was just job promotion.
All the waiters are polite and friendly. I like how they are happy to give recommendation on which tea to get.
I really felt their hospitality is really Fullerton quality and top level in Singapore.
We had a wonderful 3 hours and will definitely come back soon.
55 for afternoon tea on weekend is actually very reasonable price considering it's Fullerton, savory + scones + tea are freeflow + the high quality hospitality.
Thanks to Lalikumar, Sherlyn, Mei for their service:)

Came here for the afternoon tea with friends - food was good and there was a free flow drinks and savoury snacks. All in all really value for money and our servers, Camilla, Patricia and Fish, were really friendly and attentive, coming by to refill our tray whenever we were running short. Great experience and would come again!

We have had the delight of twice enjoying the High Tea experience at the Fullerton Hotel, over the past 4 months. As visitors from Australia we loved the ambience, faultless service and high quality of treats on offer. Our first visit coincided with the F1 - service was impeccable- and this last visit coincided with a special family birthday celebration. Staff went above expectations to ensure this was a wonderful experience to cherish. The tea and treats offer a wide variety to cater for all palettes and should you find yourself wanting more, all food items can be replenished from a centrally located table. High tea is accompanied by the relaxing music of the harp. High tea is a travelling pleasure for us and the Courtyard experience ranks highly amongst the many around the globe that we have indulged in.

Good food and service , polite servers and nice place in general. A dencent place to chat with friends. Ensures you're sastified with the service by providing entertainment while still maintaining a sense of privacy. The food is decent, though the constant refill, if you're into sweet, you're sure to love it. More or less people come for the quiet place and the chillness of it. If you're looking for food to sastified you're stomach i suggest else. But if you're looking for service and a place to chat with your friends but don't mind the price then i highly recommend this place.

I was looking for a traditional afternoon tea that allows me & my friends to chill without time constraint.
I was glad to find Courtyard @Fullerton Hotel.The hotel does cater for vegetarian/vegan set which has worked well for me.
We (pax of 4) have enjoyed a leisure friday afternoon tea for 3 hours. The service was impeccable,the service staff regularly checking to make sure our cup was filled & replenished the food. There are a good selection coffee & tea on the menu.
There were varieties of delicate dishes but the were rather normal, nothing to rave about & below my expectation..
The other thing i would like to comment
》》i was asked to make an earlier payment for the vegetarian set which was not an issue.
However when i made payment at the end of high tea, i was again charged the whole amount.. upon showing them the online recepit for the vegetarian set, my bill was promptly revised accordingly..
Although it was not a big issue at the end, i would have expected the hotel has a tracking system showing the advance payment before giving the final bill.
We had an enjoyable afternoon & i would love to be back for the ambience & service.
Regards

This was my second High Tea at Fullerton Hotel and it was wonderful. I am eating my way through Singspore High Teas since Circuit breaker was lifted and this one is one of my favorites. SGD 51,- for adults on weekdays including unlimited savories, a variety of sweets (not unlimited) and as much tea/coffee you can drink. The top up on savories is a real treat as you can balance the savory/sweet intake to your tastes. Service here is always politely and friendly and staff makes you feel welcome from beginning to end. I highly recommend this High Tea.

The high tea menu and service was top notch at the Courtyard in the Fullerton Hotel. The menu is reasonably priced, considering that they offer refillable savouries.
Big kudos to Steve and Abigail for their excellent service provided, from explaining the high tea menu items to catering to our requests.

The Fullerton hotel lobby is beautiful and the courtyard is a relaxing and roomy space for you and friends. The afternoon tea is delightful with unlimited scones and savouries, and very tasty desserts--all presented attractively. I also liked that the tea was TWG and unlimited as well. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that we found the service to be inconsistent. At the start it was stellar, but as the afternoon wore on it became increasingly difficult to get the attention of the servers. Also, as a 5-star hotel you'd think they would provide proper clotted cream with their scones rather than butter and jam. Overall I would still recommend this afternoon tea!

Visited the courtyard with family. Wide range of food selection and excellent service. Food is changed monthly according to the season with May 2021 theme being Mango. Personally loved the oriental prawn salad, mango-passion coulis, mini tatlet. Each set comes with one item mentioned in the menu and free flow selection of coffee and tea. Some food items (middle row and scones) are also refillable making price worthy.

The Fullerton Hotel’s environment is conducive for peaceful hi-tea session. Food is served as per set with savoury and tea/coffee items refillable. The service rendered by Lalikumar Abi and his team is excellent! Thank you very much!

We had dinner at Town restaurant on 10th Oct and returned the day 11th for afternoon tea at courtyard. Food at Town restaurant was great. Other restaurant just simply turned buffet into served at table a la carte buffet but at Fullerton Town restaurant they took it up a notch by plating it. The service is fantastic. One of the few places that really made their guest felt welcome and staff are very attentative to our needs despite being short handed. The angel hair pasta is absolutely delicious.
Our afternoon tea is absolutely fantastic. They are having pink afternoon tea in the month of Oct. Very nice ambient at the lobby area of a very historic hotel. The service again has been absolutely fantastic. Constantly replenishing drinks and food. Unlike most other places where you struggle to get waiter attention.
We were served by the same wonderful team for both dinner and afternoon tea. Josephine Ang, Lalikumar, Albert and Jia Hui. Very commendable effort on their part taking care of our every diner so much so we made repeated visits.

We chose The Courtyard for a relaxing birthday afternoon tea. All the savoury and sweet items as well as the variety of teas were delicious (and refillable)! The service by Lali Kumar and Alson were impeccable as well. As we were celebrating a birthday, they brought us a slice of cake, took a photo for us, and gave us a hard copy of the photo as a gift. We will definitely visit again :)
