When it comes to afternoon tea, the best places embody the quintessentially British nature of the meal. So, if you’re looking for your next afternoon tea spot, be sure to head to The Beaumont Mayfair - a striking, modernist hotel that sits in the heart of Mayfair.
Afternoon tea at The Beaumont Mayfair is held in The Gatsby Room - a elegant lounge that feels cosy and lived-in thanks to comfy banquettes, armchairs, Gatsby-esque artwork on the walls, and deep red leather-studded bookcases full of old tomes. White-clothed tables, and top quality service add a touch of luxury to your afternoon tea.
To begin, guests can expect a selection of bite-sized sandwiches, which broadly stick to classic flavour combinations, such as cucumber, dill and cream cheese, cured salmon with lemon creme fraiche and herbs, and beef pastrami with mustard mayonnaise. Moving onto sweets, you’ll get a selection of freshly baked scones, with plain and raisin options served alongside clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam.
Tiered cake stands come packed with sweet treats such as chocolate mousse with a tonka ganache, cheesecake eclairs made with rhubarb and vanilla, or a pear tart with almond sponge and topped with whipped ricotta. All of this comes paired with a selection of JING teas. Choose from black, green, white, and oolong teas, or opt for a selection of herbal infusions such as lavender, chamomile and lemongrass or fennel, ginger and peppermint. These high-quality teas make the perfect accompaniment for your afternoon tea treats. You’ll also find a selection of rare and seasonal teas available at an extra cost, perfect for the tea-fanatics who are looking to explore something a bit different.
If you’re celebrating, or looking to make your occasion extra special, there's always the option of fizz to accompany your afternoon tea. Bottles of Champagne are available, as well as Champagne cocktails. Afternoon Tea at The Beaumont Mayfair is available for everyone, with vegan menus and Children's options also on offer, just be sure to let the team know before you visit.
