Wedgewood Afternoon Tea at The Langham
Tea at The Langham
Last month, The Langham launched their new afternoon tea inspired by
classic Wedgwood collections, and I went along to have a
little preview! I've been to The Langham for tea in the past and let me
tell you, its pretty good!
The new tea has been created by Cherish Finden who is Executive Pastry Chef at The Langham London and the loveliest lady! She was there all evening to talk us though how each dessert came to be and you can see from how to talks about each one just how passionate she is about her job.
The tea is
super pretty and fun, decorated with flowers and butterflies just in
time for spring! We had the perfect evening to go with it, one of those lovely bright, warm evenings in town you know?
For
me, usually the sandwiches are my favourite part of afternoon tea but I
was so impressed with some of the delicious cakes that I went back for
seconds! The sandwiches although, were pretty amazing with a selection
of truffled duck egg brioche, Smoked salmon asparagus and rye, Cucumber with cream cheese and chives, Peppered beef pastrami with red Leicester coleslaw and Corn-fed chicken with golden sultana on carrot bread. The truffled egg was the most delicious - it was so decadent.
As
for those desserts - They were all lovely but I'm just going to chat to you about my top three! Butterfly Bloom was
salted caramel so obvs I was going to love that. A shortbread tower held together with caramel, decorated with white butterflies and the prettiest pattern down the sides.
The macaroon was mini but it packed a punch in the flavour department! Wild strawberry with pistachio cream hidden inside with the print on the front replicating the ‘Wedgwood Wild Strawberry’ design.
I also really loved the ‘Hathaway Rose’ which I thought was just a pretty victoria sponge slice but as I tasted it, I was hit with refreshing lemon in the sponge with a raspberry and lime jam. It was really delicious
Of course there were scones in between and The Langham have that down to a T! The scones here are always good! Cherish has a great team behind her at the Langham and it was great to be able to meet them and give them a round of applause for the amazing food they'd created afterwards!
For the rest of the evening, we were treated to endless plates of food all washed down with champagne - I didnt ever want to leave!
