Is it Cake? Or Is It a Menu?
Experience the enchantment of Strand Palace's new Theatre Afternoon Tea, a fusion of culinary artistry and theatrical charm that is quickly becoming the most coveted excuse to indulge in this time-honoured tradition.
Embark on a delightful journey with delectable sandwiches, cakes, and cocktails inspired by the illusion of a 'play-within-a-play', seen in iconic performances such as Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Moulin Rouge.
The menu itself is mysteriously disguised as one of the edible delights, similar to the phenomenon of ‘Is It Cake?’, providing a playful and interactive take on the quintessential British afternoon.
Traditional Afternoon Tea elements are creatively named after theatre tropes. Act I includes savoury delights like The Green Room with dill cream cheese and smoked salmon, The Matinee Delight featuring lemon and herb marinated roast chicken, Hamlet’s Harissa with rose harissa roasted sweet potato, and the Stagehands' Sausage Roll. Our Intermission features traditional Showstopper Scones accompanied by fragrant unlimited teas.
Act II unveils decadent sweet treats such as the Tutu Tartlet with white chocolate ganache, raspberry, and rose mousse, Curtain Call with red velvet cake and mascarpone mousseline, On The Barre with almond and blueberry frangipane bar, and Baritone’s Delight of dark chocolate delice with espresso cream.
Playful, interactive, and oh-so Instagrammable, this Afternoon Tea invites you to explore unexpected flavours and is ideal as a pre-theatre treat or simply a fun activity with friends and family.
Available daily from 12pm to 5pm at Haxells at Strand Palace, priced at £49 per person on weekdays and £55 per person on weekends, with vegan and kids' menus available.
