Too early for Christmas??
Not for a Christmas Afternoon Tea!!
Our venue, the beautiful Conrad London St. James hotel, formerly Intercontinental Westminster, thought our group of London Bloggers, gathering for our #LDNBloggersTea, was a perfect group to try out their Christmas Snow Scene Afternoon Tea.
Take a look at this menu!

The ingredients used for our tea were nicely displayed for us.
Beautiful flower arrangements set throughout the room.
Even a harpist. He was amazing and even played a couple Christmas tunes for us!
The tea selection. I chose the Vanilla Black Tea.
Brussel sprout salad, venison bites & turkey ballotine with cranberry sauce.
Smoked Salmon, beetroot & spinach and gammon with mustard sandwiches.
Orange Cranberry & Christmas Spice Scones. I didn't get a good photo of the strawberry jam and blackberry curd. The blackberry curd was tasty!
Executive Chef Zoe Wager came around to talk with us about the tea, the ingredients she used and how she thought through the lovely dessert display she created.
Is this dessert scene not the cutest thing? It's like peering into a Christmas window display!
Winter berry Christmas tree on a brownie base. Once cut into it was a lovely red mousse, meringue snowmen, Christmas postcard marshmallows, white forest yule logs, chocolate orange Battenberg present and snowflake macaroons. So much to choose from!
Great company, food, location, an afternoon well spent!
If you find yourself in London during Christmas, be sure to make your way to the Conrad London St. James for the Christmas Snow Scene Afternoon Tea. The tea begins on November 24 through Christmas eve.
£37 per person £45 with free flowing champagne.

ReplyDeleteI really loved how they had such a great diverse selection of tea. I was boring and put on the spot since I turned up a bit late so chose ginger and lemon, but I tried the vanilla black and it was so good!
