We Painted the Town Coral with Sparkling Afternoon Tea

The afternoon tea at The Coral Room is sophisticated elegance, offering a twist on the great British tradition including a moth-watering range of savoury and sweet options set in a neo-Georgian Grade II listed building, the old and the new coming together. The Coral Room is a symphony of elegance the décor and accents all set the mood for a luxurious afternoon tea experience.

We were greeted by the host with a flute of the finest sparkling wine and presented with the afternoon tea menu, I knew we were in for a treat, our choices were; Caprese sandwich focaccia bread, Bocconcini, sliced cherry tomato, micro basil leaves, olive oil and tomato jelly, marinated Cucumber White Bread with smoked salmon rillettes, Guinness bread wrapped around coronation chicken. The sweet offering was; Virgin colada mousse coconut sponge base, raspberry tart with delicious vanilla cream, white chocolate, pistachio, lemon daisy, blueberry and lavender éclair, orange and thyme macaron, bourbon vanilla scone and golden raisin scone with thick and rich clotted cream and Cloudberry jam, so quintessentially Britsh and tasty, the choices were flavoursome and a visual delight.
