The Afternoon Tea is served in courses, and placed in elegant frames placed on the centre of the table. The first course arrives - a tempting assortment of sandwiches. Including a delicate assortment of finger sandwiches, brioche buns and a canape, they were all delicious with flavours ranging from Beef Sirloin with Purple Mustard to Smoked Salmon with Creme Fraiche.
The scones follow, served warm with a choice of lemon curd or English strawberry jam to accomany the clotted cream. I have had my fair share of scones, and these are some of London's best. The perfect texture - they are truly delicious.
But it's the pastry selection that truly steals the show. A pre-dessert course is served including a two sponge based desserts representing art from David Hockney and Dali. Lastly the patisserie selection arrives. Filled with intricately decorated pieces inspired by Van Gogh to Banksy, they are as delicious to savoury as they are beautiful. Each sweet treat is a work of art in itself, showcasing the skill and creativity of the hotel's talented pastry chefs.
