The Rubens are excited to announce the arrival of a new offering for their Vegan guests: Vegan Royal Afternoon Tea. Available all throughout the year, guests can enjoy cakes and patisseries mirroring the standard Afternoon Tea menu. 

The team have carefully substituted ingredients to keep the offering looking the same so you can enjoy the Afternoon Tea experience regardless of your dietary preference. VIP your Tea experience with a glass of Lanson Le Green Champagne.

Children's Vegan Little Prince and Princess Tea is also available.

Afternoon Tea is served in the Palace Lounge where the relaxed ambience is perfect to watch the activity at the Royal Mews opposite, or you can step outside to share in the unforgettable daily pageant of the Changing of the Guard. 

The pastry kitchen at The Rubens is led by their talented pastry chef Sarah Houghting, who has crafted the Royal Afternoon Tea inspired by Royal events and dining trends throughout the centuries. Their sandwiches, scones and pastries are prepared fresh each day, including plant-based delights such as a cinnamon chocolate mousse and a Royal macaron.

The Rubens at the Palace lies at the heart of London's biggest tourist attractions and is the closest hotel to Buckingham Palace, within easy walking distance of Victoria Station and some of London's best shops and restaurants.

Please inform the venue 24-hours prior to your visit of any allergies or dietary restrictions to avoid additional waiting time. Kindly note unfortunately the venue cannot cater for dietaries that require both gluten-free and dairy-free options for the same person.
