Looking for a lovely afternoon tea in Southhampton? Marco Pierre White is a sophisticated steakhouse and grill, located within the plush Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton Grand Harbour. A real crowd-pleaser, this stunning restaurant boasts double-height, floor-to-ceiling glass panels which create a greenhouse effect, flooding the space with natural light.
With crisp, white tablecloths and neutral decor, expect a chic vibe that's perfect for a special occasion or celebration - a great reason to book an afternoon tea! Marco Pierre White's afternoon tea is a mainly traditional affair with a contemporary twist, served every afternoon.
The classic afternoon tea starts with a selection of dainty finger sandwiches, stuffed with fillings such as Severn and Wye smoked salmon with light cream cheese, alongside sliced Wiltshire ham with Colman’s mustard, as well as roast beef with spicy horseradish. And, of course, it wouldn't be afternoon tea with sliced cucumber sandwiches, too.
Next up, diners can enjoy a curation of sweet treats, with macarons, carrot cake, a chocolate and caramel mirror slice and lemon cheesecake. Delicious! If you've still got room, it's time to move onto the freshly baked scones, served with clotted cream and a selection of jams and preserves.
But it's not all about food - as its name suggests, afternoon tea should be served with a high quality brew, and at Marco Pierre White Southhampton Teapigs is the brand of choice. There is a small selection of teas and herbal infusions, as well as sparkling wines if you're looking for something a little stronger!
There are two options when it comes to sparkling wine packages, either sip a glass of Sette Prosecco or Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Both would be make a lovely addition for a special afternoon. And, while there aren't currently vegan or vegetarian options, let the team know about any dietary requirements and they'll do their best to accomodate.
