Sofitel London St James is happy to introduce brand-new “Afternoon Tea with a French Touch” served in the beautiful Rose Lounge
Sofitel London St James is pleased to present its brand-new menu for Afternoon Tea created by the hotels recently appointed Pastry Chef Jamie Warley.
The menu is inspired by Jamies journeys in France and developed to link visitors with standard French flavours. Moving away from the classical concept of finger sandwiches, the new menu provides innovative savoury dishes such as French onion soup, croque monsieur and celeriac, bacon and truffle quiche.
The sweet choices available consist of Earl grey and coffee choux blackberry, tarragon and bun macaron, and a delightful crème fraiche with pumpkin and maple.

Sofitel London St James is happy to pay homage to France and its inspiring history with this delightful new menu. While afternoon tea is quintessentially British, the act of drinking tea in France dates back to the 17th century when it ended up being a popular activity amongst stylish girls, whilst entertaining in the early morning and afternoon.

Afternoon Tea is served from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12pm to 5pm and priced at ₤ 55 per person or ₤ 65 per person including a glass of champagne. To book, please check out The Rose Lounge at Sofitel London St James
