The flowers are starting to bloom, the evenings are stretching and there’s a sense of lightness in the air. Spring has most definitely sprung, and The Westbury is the perfect place to celebrate the new season.

To mark the start of spring, The Westbury has developed a new springtime themed Afternoon Tea, which is launching this Easter weekend. This limited edition tea celebrates spring with a beautiful menu, inspired by Easter treats and delicious flavours. Served in The Gallery, the tea has been developed by the pastry team, led by Rey Encarnacion.

The Springtime Afternoon Tea menu features sumptuous and beautiful miniature desserts, including…

A delectable Vanilla Rice Pudding Arancini with a crumbling Coconut Crust

A White Chocolate & Macha Ganache with a Gingernut Base

A flavoursome Citrus Jelly served with a Mandarin Compote and Chantilly Cream

A Coffee Eclair with Toasted Sesame

A scrumptious Banana Passion Fruit Tartlet with a Hazelnut base.

It’s not just sweet treats – the Afternoon Tea also features delicious savoury delicacies, like these sandwiches…

Truffled Chicken Salad served on a Brioche Roll

The delectable Truffled Egg Salad on Milk Pan

Oak Smoked Salmon & Crab with Lemon Aioli on Homemade Soda Bread

There’s also a brilliant selection of fruit and citrus teas that accompany the menu.

For those looking for a traditional black tea with a twist, the Darjeeling Summer Gold embodies the delectable flavours of Summer Plucking with a flowery elegant aroma. While the Peach & Ginseng Oolong is infused with a perfect combination of both flavours. Green Tea enthusiasts will enjoy Pai Mu Tan & Melon, a white tea with delicate melon flavour and refined sweetness.
