AFTERNOON Tea may be a quintessentially British tradition, but now it’s getting an American twist. This spring, Sheraton Grand London Park Lane has teamed up with The Great Gatsby: A New Musical to craft a new afternoon tea experience.
Titled The Great Gatsby: Only Afternoon Tea!, the limited-edition culinary offering has been carefully designed to echo key tropes and storylines from the musical. Set in the hotel’s original 1920s Palm Court – a Grade II-listed space that is one of London’s finest surviving examples of Jazz Age architecture- the afternoon tea will transport visitors into a world of alluring opulence.

To start, guests can enjoy a range of savoury dishes and sandwiches that pay homage to Fitzgerald’s story through clever details and decadent presentation. For example, the East Egg Truffle Salad features a delicate mix of summer truffle and heritage egg, while the Rockefeller Smoked Salmon Tart is topped with an exciting blend of cucumber pearls and dill crème.

Later, guests can enjoy sweet treats such as a zesty Lemon & Jazz-mine Meringue Pie or Daisy’s Tropical Choux. Menu highlights also include the Roaring Opera – a gold-dusted pistachio and raspberry sponge cake – and the Gatsby Forest Gateau. Served alongside warm scones, clotted cream, and a selection of fine teas or Champagne, the sweet course is certain to immerse guests in Gatsby’s glamorous world.
Similarly, visitors can enjoy a selection of themed cocktails, including the Gatsby Gold Rush, Green Light Martini, Daisy’s Delight, and the Flapper’s Fizz.
