We love a good wedding at The Luxury Travel Bible and while we are still awaiting the arrival of our invite for Wills and Kate's wedding we are starting to see what some of our favourite hotels are doing to celebrate the royal event.
The Langham, London is serving a celebratory afternoon tea to commemorate the wedding of HRH Prince William to Kate Middleton. In the lead up to the April 29th wedding at Westminster Abbey 'Tea Royale' will be served in the Palm Court throughout April. Cherish Finden, the hotel's Executive Pastry Chef, has created a menu fit for, well... a King (sorry, it had to be said). The menu includes finger sandwiches of Lobster and cucumber with fennel pollen, Scottish salmon poached in pink Champagne with green peppercorns and Castle of Mey beef sirloin with horseradish. Speciality pastries, scones and desserts will be served including Westminster Abbey chocolate cake, Apricot and raspberry Royal Crown, Royal Champagne jelly and Warm wild lavender and honey scones with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry preserve.
The newly refurbished Langham has a long connection to the British Royal Family as it was originally opened in 1865 by Prince William's ancestor, HRH The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. In 2010 the hotel was awarded the 'Best London Afternoon Tea award by the Tea Guild. SB
Tea Royale is priced at £51.50 per person, inclusive of a glass of Champagne Laurent-Perrier NV to toast the happy couple, and is available from 1-30 April 2011 inclusive.
