Royal Afternoon Tea for Two at the 5* Rubens at the Palace Hotel, London
Overview
Served in the opulent Palace Lounge, overlooking The Buckingham Palace Royal Mews, this delicious Afternoon Tea features pastries inspired by Royal events and dining trends over the centuries.
To honour Queen Elizabeth II, you’ll be served Her Majesty the Queen’s much-loved jam pennies, a favourite from childhood. The red velvet cupcake is influenced by the House of Stuart recognising Colonel Thomas Blood who, along with his co-conspirators attempted to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London on 9 May 1671.
The chocolate mousse with chocolate biscuit cake is inspired by Prince William and Prince Harry of Windsor, a firm favourite in the nursery. It’s not surprising that Prince William chose to have chocolate biscuit cake at his wedding, and it’s no wonder guests feel like royalty whist enjoying The Royal Afternoon Tea at the Rubens.

What a great experience!
My partner and I were in the UK visiting from the US. We were debating between several different tea places, and ended up choosing the Royal Afternoon Tea at the Rubens at the Palace because of the theme and the location, and what a great choice it was! The service was top notch, the food was all delicious, what a brilliant experience.

Afternoon Tea for Two at the 4* Rubens at the Palace Hotel, London
The hotel was welcoming with helpful staff & friendly atmosphere. Our booking was not on their sheet for that afternoon (they admitted it was their fault!) but they assured us straight away that we would be accepted for afternoon tea. Excellent Food and plently of it. Paid extra for a glass of fizz. Lovely Afternoon.

It was a wonderful afternoon. We were served promptly and politely by the friendly staff. The bar was quiet, nicely decorated and relaxing. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were lovely. The cake theme was flowers due to the current Chelsea Flower Show. The Waitress offered extra sandwiches and we picked our favourites. The best part was the scones and jam - amazing!
