Edinburgh has a number of events planned to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee ranging from street parties to special events during the holiday weekend.
The Queen’s Jubilee Afternoon Tea, which will be served at The Register Club on St Andrew Square, will undoubtedly be the grandest of them all. From 1 June to the end of the month, at Cheval The Edinburgh Grand, the offering will be available daily at the landmark hotel’s flagship cocktail lounge.
A feast fit for royalty, The Queen’s Jubilee Afternoon Tea experience will invite guests to dine in the spectacular surroundings of The Register Club and indulge in a range of sweet treats as well as a savory selection using the finest seasonal produce. For an additional cost, you can even toast the Queen’s 70 years on the throne with a glass of Champagne.
The celebratory afternoon teas will begin with a selection of ‘classical’ sandwiches, served in the luxurious surroundings of Cheval The Edinburgh Grand’s fourth floor. Coronation chicken, Duck Egg Mayonnaise, Cucumber, and Smoked Scottish Salmon are among them.
Following that will be a selection of sweet treats such as Chocolate Biscuit Cake, Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips and Ginger, Strawberry Tartlets, and Macaroons. If that isn’t enough, there will be Homemade Scones with Clotted Cream and Strawberry Jam. The Queen’s Jubilee Afternoon Tea costs £32 per person or £42 per person when accompanied by a glass of Champagne.
