Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of London’s most iconic theatre venues, has launched a brand-new menu for its Regency Afternoon Tea.

The latest menu features sweets and cakes by baker to the stars, Lily Vanilli, and introduces a new and wonderful array of classic savoury treats, including mini British pies, served by the talented chefs at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. It’s the only Afternoon Tea served in a West End theatre.

The new savoury items on the menu include a bitesize English crumpet topped with Earl Grey infused cream cheese and John Ross Jnr smoked salmon; a savoury madeleine with whipped English feta and pickled heritage carrot; and seasonal mini pies in traditional British flavours.

The mini pies will change seasonally throughout the year. The mini pie that is currently on the menu is a Coronation Chicken Pie with caramelised onion chutney.

Lily Vanilli’s sweet treats include delicious warm fruit scones, paired with jam and cream; a fluffy vanilla cake filled with passionfruit and buttercream, topped by a handmade chocolate cupid; a mini sticky toffee pudding filled with a custard centre, drizzled in salted caramel and topped with crunchy caramel popcorn; and a delicious strawberry ice cream sandwich layered with marshmallow, strawberry parfait, brown sugar biscuit and dark chocolate.

Served in the beautifully restored Grand Saloon, a marble-lined Regency room with twinkling chandeliers and a fine art collection, this is the most extraordinary place in the heart of Covent Garden to enjoy a decadent Afternoon Tea.

The New Regency Afternoon Tea is priced from £59 per person. Book: www.thelane.co.uk
