TEA ROYALE AT THE LANGHAM

Even the most ardent Reublican would find it hard to resist the incredible Tea Royale being served throughout April in honour of the marriage of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. I wore my tiara to the launch of this special event this week.

The Langham Hotel almost invented Afternoon Tea in their superb classical London property, back in 1865, so they really know their stuff. I can't even begin to describe the savoury trolley, but the highlights for me were the little Yorkshire pudds with rare roasted beef and horseradish cream, and the most sublime prawn and spring onion sandwiches.

The cake stand with all the sweet treats (eight of them, including a peppermint jelly on chocolate crunch) is pictured above and speaks for itself. I will be taking my mum along for sure as at $59 incuding a glass of Champagne and tea or coffee is a very small price to pay for a truly regal event.
