Expertly Crafted Afternoon Tea

Experience quintessentially British Afternoon Tea, done The Athenaeum way. Our expertly crafted cakes and pastries have been prepared by our pastry chef Nikhil Vyas, previously of Taj Hotels, Savoy London and Grosvenor House. Taking inspiration from our vertical garden living wall, Nikhil has prepared delicate flavours and visual delights that represent the garden which adorns our hotel. From Cherry Blossom in our Amarena Sour Cherry Cake to a Raspberry Mascarpone cake that showcases a flowerpot on top of a walled garden and editable flowers, and a Rose and Lychee cake that is a nod to the national flower of England.
