When Jay Gatsby (nee James Gatz) arranged an afternoon tea for long lost love Daisy Buchanan, it was far from the leisurely respite most of us look forward to. Rather, he was a bundle of nerves to the point of grumpiness. Fortunately for Harvey Nichols patrons, they can enjoy an opulent 1920s tea without the tension. Here's their Gatsby inspired Roaring 20s Tea menu that commenced 1 May, 2013.
Illegal Libations
In the spirit of Prohibition, choose either a coupette of Champagne with gold leaf, or a Prohibition Pink Lady cocktail: a blend of gin, lemon juice, grenadine and cointreau garnished by a sunken maraschino cherry.
Savouries
- Pigs in a blanket
- Chicken Caesar roulade
- Blini ‘gribiche’
- Lobster roll
- Summer Fruit and plain scone, clotted cream and Champagne jam
Sweets
- White chocolate and coconut pearl macaroon (in jewelry box)
- Bootlegger rum, coffee and chocolate cake garnished with fireworks chocolate transfer
- Pineapple upside-down cake, garnished with jewel
- Gin Rickeys (mini martini glass), finished with crème de menthe jelly and a cocktail cherry
- Harvey Nichols peanut butter, cocoa-dusted cigar (from a Gatsby cigar box)
The Roaring 20s Afternoon Tea is served daily from 3pm – 5pm. £30 for Afternoon Tea and £40 with the champagne or cocktail.
