The Savoy’s Diamond Jubilee Afternoon Tea inspired by The Queen’s couturier, Stewart Parvin The Savoy marks this royal occasion with a very British tradition
The Savoy marks this royal occasion with a very
British tradition
To celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, The Savoy will be offering a
special afternoon tea throughout June which has been inspired by the designs of
one of the Queen’s favourite couturiers Stewart Parvin. Awarded a Royal Warrant of Appointment to
HM The Queen in 2007, Stewart’s designs have been worn by Her Majesty to
occasions such as Royal Ascot, State Visits and Overseas Royal Tours. Ooooh you remember how Graydon Carter told Peachy Deegan about The Savoy at Landmarks ages ago...when he was drinking The Graydon Carter. Graydon have you drank The Peachy yet?
Stewart has been designing for The Queen since 2000 using an
elegant palette of colours such as lilac, lavender, coral pink, raspberry and
royal blue. The Savoy ’s Executive Pastry Chef, Martin
Chiffers, worked with Stewart and drew inspiration from his sketches and swatches
of fabric to create the gorgeous cakes which pay tribute to the Queen’s iconic
style. They include Royal Sash – a white
chocolate coconut slice, Floral Éclair – a lavender & vanilla éclair, Cherry
Jubilee – a cherry and kirsch macaroon and The Queen’s Hat – a raspberry
yoghurt mousse, with praline and velvet chocolate as well as a Royal Blueberry
Tartlet and a Royal Red Chocolate Slice decorated with a “sugar diamond”.
The Savoy Diamond Jubilee Afternoon Tea will be served in the
Thames Foyer throughout June and also includes a selection of finger
sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with clotted cream, homemade lemon curd
& strawberry preserve and the Thames Foyer Signature Cakes including a
classic Victoria Sponge & Savoy Fruit Cake.
The Savoy Diamond Jubilee Afternoon Tea is priced at £40.00 per
person or £54.00 per person with a glass of Ruinart Rose Champagne. Reservations for afternoon tea at The Savoy are available daily from 1.30pm to
