In April the Langham, London will offer a celebratory afternoon tea to commemorate the wedding of HRH Prince William to Catherine Middleton.
The hotel’s Executive Pastry Chef Cherish Finden has created special savouries and pastries for the Tea Royale which will be served in the Palm Court throughout April. Finger sandwiches will include fillings of lobster and cucumber with fennel pollen, Scottish salmon poached in pink Champagne with green peppercorns and Castle of Mey beef sirloin with horseradish.
The speciality pastries, scones and desserts will be Westminster Abbey chocolate cake, apricot and raspberry Royal Crown, Royal Champagne jelly and warm wild lavender and honey scones with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry preserve.
Tea Royale will cost £51.50 per person and include a glass of Champagne Laurent-Perrier NV to toast the couple.
The Langham, London has a long connection with the British Royal family. The hotel was opened in 1865 by Prince William’s ancestor, HRH The Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII. The Langham was Europe’s first ‘Grand Hotel’ and gained its reputation as being the birthplace of the afternoon tea tradition.
Afternoon tea at the Palm Court was awarded Best London Afternoon Tea 2010 by the Tea Guild.
