The Lanesborough, London, is delighted to announce the latest in its innovative series of seasonal Afternoon Teas, inspired by Bridgerton, created in partnership with Netflix and Shondaland. To celebrate the premiere of Bridgerton Season 4, The Lanesborough is launching the new limited-edition tea that will pay homage to the Regency era; a time of great revelling and high style, of elegant parties, balls, and grand dinners, with a contemporary twist. 

Setting the scene, the new Bridgerton Afternoon Tea will continue to take place in The Lanesborough’s richly decorated dining room, naturally illuminated during the day by a domed glass roof while seductively aglow under softly lit chandeliers in the evening. A Regency icon in the capital, beneath the original sky dome there is bas-relief artwork meticulously cast from 250 different mouldings, evoking a sense of Regency neo-classical grandeur.

Carefully crafted by The Lanesborough’s Head Pastry Chef, Jolan Thiry, the menu will pay tribute to the key characters and moments in Bridgerton Season 4. Bridgerton at The Lanesborough – Afternoon Tea - finger sandwiches and pastry tartlets will comprise of Westcombe cheddar, spring onion aioli, Scottish smoked salmon, citrus crème fraiche, Spicy harissa chicken and basil, Cucumber, avocado and mint with a slider of Truffled potato bun. Finger sandwiches are also available as Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten free.

To accompany the savoury flavours and The Lanesborough’s delectable scones, cream and jam, Thiry’s curated cake and sweet treat concept will include four signature highlights, embracing: The Lady in Silver – Crowning the lavish tea stand, this enchanting sharing cake serves as a radiant tribute to Sophie, this season’s leading lady. Mysterious, refined and unmistakably elegant, it embodies the allure of a Bridgerton Masquerade ball. A delicately hand-crafted sponge layered with zesty lemon, vanilla whipped cream and yuzu gel, finished with a shimmering silver leaf, edible pearls and adorned with a masquerade mask.

Benedict’s Masquerade - A decadent tribute to Benedict Bridgerton and his devotion to beauty and the arts. This indulgent creation layers silky chocolate and tonka mousse with hazelnut praline, set upon a delicate chocolate sable with a chocolate masquerade mask.

Let Love Take Flight - Presented as a delicate cameo, this refined creation draws inspiration from a touching scene with Benedict and Sophie. Silken blackberry mousse rests upon a light sesame sponge — understated, expressive, and quietly captivating. Cottage Bloom – A delicate floral cake that captures the romance of an English garden in gentle bloom. Soft layers are infused with ginger and green apple mousse, green apple compote and a ginger sable. Finished with a handcrafted floral, this cake invites a moment of pause — a nod to Sophie’s love of nature, contemplation, and the quiet beauty she finds nestled among Benedict’s gardens.

Cocktail – Forbidden Love - A crystal glass crowned with a masquerade mask sets the scene for Benedict and Sophie’s fateful meeting. Another Hendrick’s gin is artfully blended with sweet basil water, London Essence Peach & Jasmine soda and citrus notes, garnished with a fragrant mist of rose water.

Cocktail – Beneath the Mask – non alcoholic. A seductive masquerade of passion fruit and lychee unfolds
with notes of vanilla and lemon, crowned with London Essence Peach & Jasmine Soda and a fragrant mist of
rose water.

Make haste, and secure your booking – it would be quite the scandal to miss it…
