New Traditional British Afternoon Tea Menu Now Available At The Capital Hotel
On 28th January, The Capital Hotel, winner of the UK Tea
Guild's Award of Excellence for Top London Afternoon Tea 2012, is launching a
traditional, British inspired Afternoon Tea menu. Created by acclaimed chef
Nathan Outlaw and his head chef, Pete Biggs, the new Afternoon Tea will be
served from 2.30pm-5.30pm daily, priced at £25 per person. To make reservations
call 020 7591 1202, or for more information visit www.capitalhotel.co.uk.
The new menu embraces the history and tradition behind
Afternoon Tea and features classic British teatime treats and sandwiches using
sustainably sourced fish and meat. These include Smoked Salmon & Watercress
on wholemeal bread; Cornish Cracker Cheddar and Pickled Shallot served on white
bread; and Crab Mayonnaise and Cucumber on wholemeal bread.
Freshly baked British sweet delights, including Homemade
Eccles Cakes; Saffron and Custard Tarts; and Rhubarb and Ginger Trifle, are
reminiscent of childhood treats. Traditional Afternoon Tea is completed with a
choice of plain or fruit scones accompanied by the hotel's homemade strawberry
jam and clotted cream.
Afternoon Tea at the Capital is served in the relaxed and
sophisticated sitting room, decorated in warm plum tones, with large windows
overlooking Basil Street. Guests can also enjoy Afternoon Tea in The Capital
Bar, which offers an impressive selection of champagnes, wines and cocktails
for those who would like to make the most of their visit to The Capital.
Opened 40 years ago by David Levin as London's first
boutique hotel, The Capital sits enviably in the heart of Knightsbridge, just
minutes from both Harrods and Harvey Nichols. As well as the restaurant and
bar, it offers 50 individually decorated bedrooms with an emphasis on classic
British design. Still run by David's daughter, Kate, it is one of few hotels in
the area still to be family run.
