The Orchid Lounge at Pan Pacific Hotel London

Afternoon Tea will be in full bloom throughout the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and the rest of the Summer. Executive Pastry Chef Cherish Finden has given Afternoon Tea at The Orchid Lounge a royal makeover, inspired by the wildflower Superbloom installation at the nearby Tower of London. Hotel guests and visitors to The Orchid Lounge are invited to raise a glass of English sparkling wine with official partner, Gusbourne. The menu also features a selection of teas by The Rare Tea Company and a non-alcoholic bubbly option by French Bloom to pair with petit fours.

Housed inside The Orchid Lounge signature Afternoon Tea birdcage, The Superbloom Afternoon Tea features a top plate of handmade delectables in traditional British flavours, adorned with motifs of the Platinum Jubilee. The experience begins with a regal selection of Golden Raisin & Plain Scones served with Cornish Clotted Cream, Homemade Strawberry Preserve and Kaya Jam alongside a selection of sandwiches, filled with Coronation Chicken on Harissa Bread; Smoked Salmon with Mustard Butter on Brown Bread; Wafer Cucumber with Cream Cheese on Carraway Bread. This extra special service also includes playful touches: a tea and biscuit flavoured amuse bouche, street party inspired Candy Floss and a Corgi Dog Shortbread. The finishing touch, is a sachet of wildflower seeds, to bring the Superbloom magic home.

With views over the Plaza, a beautifully landscaped cultural hub, the scene is set for a wonderful opportunity to sip, savour and enjoy whatever the time of day.
