A friend and I were invited to the Savoy for afternoon tea after we had a bit of a disappointing experience in December, and we enjoyed this visit. I am still not keen on the fact that the redecoration of the Gallery restaurant at the Savoy has been filled with seats to accommodate more people, and it feels much more chaotic than personal. The service was attentive, and we enjoyed the spring afternoon tea menu with a glass of champagne.
We visited at the beginning of April and had a nice day.
We both loved the menu design, which is printed on shimmery paper.
I had the vegetarian selection of sandwiches and little pastries: cucumber and lemon, egg, smoked cheddar and marmalade, red pepper and olive, an asparagus and feta tart and a tomato tart.
Next up were the scones.
I had some with the strawberry jam and clotted cream and som with the lemon curd.
The sweet pastry selection was very much inspired by spring. The first one was strawberry and cream, which was a beautiful pink pastry with strawberry compote and cream. I enjoyed it.
Next was the chocolate and hazlenut cake, which was very rich and sweet. It also had salted caramel.
My favourite was the coconut and lime pebble, which was mad of coconut mousse and sponge and lime.
The last was the pink grapefruit tart, which was our least favourite.
Aftr the Savoy, we enjoyed some final rays of sunlight in a pub on Great Queen Street.
We did enjoy this visit to The Savoy, and we enjoyed the food. The service was also attentive on this visit.
