Review: A Meaty Afternoon Tea

Sidestepping the sugar and cream onslaught that is the traditional afternoon tea, The Athenaeum has created a 'Gentleman's Afternoon Tea'. Any protestations about gender stereotyping are swiftly muffled with an oozing Goosnargh duck scotch egg, the gooiest sausage roll known to man, and puffy, spiced eccles cakes warm from the oven, accompanied by crumbly Lincolnshire poacher. Champagne is subbed for a specially blended Speyside, and to great effect. Both male and female guest were impressed. Galvin at The Athenaeum, 116 Piccadilly, Mayfair, W1J 7BJ. £31.50pp, discounts may be available from deal websites.
