The roseberry is located in the magnificent 5 star hotel, the mandarin oriental Hyde park of London. It serves a delicious afternoon tea consisting of fish, turkey or even vegetarian sandwiches as well as some petite yet delicious pastries. The scones are to die for!! They also serve some macarons and bite-sized deserts which are superb! The service is a bit slow to be honest.
With a beautiful location in Knightsbridge and with a simply stunning interior, The Mandarin Oriental is one of London’s most beautiful and luxurious hotels. It’s a really special place for Mr S and I as one of my close friends got married there, Mr S and I celebrated our first anniversary at Heston Blumenthal’s two-Michelin starred restaurant Dinner and we’ve enjoyed lunch at the hotel’s more casual restaurant, Bar Boulud.
Afternoon tea must be one of London’s ultimate treats. In today’s world of healthy smoothies and super salads, sitting drinking a glass of champagne before indulging in sandwiches, clotted cream laden scones and sweet pastries and cakes reeks of hedonism. It takes skill to produce the perfect afternoon tea – a delicate balance between indulgence and restraint. After all, an afternoon tea should never strain the seams of this season’s Versace frock, nor should you feel that your dinner engagement will need to be cancelled due to lack of appetite.
