Avaliable from 19th November 2024 - 2nd January 2025.

From 19th November 2024, to celebrate the festive season, the ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas poem will magically transform from page to pastry, designed to capture the sheer excitement of the last sleep before Christmas arrives. 

Inspired by the 200-year-old poem by Clement Clarke Moore, the menu, masterfully created by Head Pastry Chef Anthony Hurst will take guests on a journey of nostalgia, excitement, and festive spirit.

From honouring festive traditions of hanging stockings with care and dancing reindeers, Dasher, Dancer, and Vixen to dreaming of sugarplum fairies and awaiting the arrival of St Nicholas, guests will immerse themselves in this timeless tale with a menu consisting of:

Snowfall Sprinkle
A refreshing English Sparkling Wine and clementine infused granita, as soft as ‘new-fallen snow’.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
Celebrating the start of each Christmas chapter, a traditional brandy-soaked fruit cake with a marzipan case.

A Mouse About this House
Not a creature was stirring, not even a ‘mousse mouse’. A baked Wigmore cheesecake with a caramel crème fraîche miniature mouse.

Be Present
A gift layered with buttery puff pastry, raspberry coulis, and crème fraîche Chantilly, reminding us about the importance of being present this season.

Trimmings and Traditions
A glittering gold bauble created with fig mousse, plum compote, served on a spiced sable biscuit.

Dash, Dash- Away in a Flash 
A light hazelnut and praline sponge yule log with Dasher the reindeer in chocolate form.

The magic of the ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas will be captured in watercolour form through a bespoke illustrated menu created by artist, Anna from Anna Jayne Designs and offered to guests as a keepsake. In addition, the Park Room’s resident pianist will play renowned carols and favourite songs to ensure guests get into the festive spirit.

Savouries feature delicate finger sandwiches consisting of Norfolk turkey, cucumber and mint as well as Foreman’s smoked salmon, and Burford Brown egg open brioche buns. Freshly baked scones are served with Cornish clotted cream and an assortment of homemade preserves. To accompany the tea, guests can choose from an extensive selection of Newby fine teas, or further indulge with a glass of Champagne.

To ensure quality family time this season, little guests can experience a children’s version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas Afternoon Tea, featuring selective pastries, miniature scones with ice cream and a warming hot chocolate.

Marble Arch Tube Station is a 6-minute walk away.
