Amazing experience from entering the stunning hotel. The staff seated us in the sumptuous afternoon tea room where piano music softly filled the air. The waiter poured our Lanson brüt champagne, talked us through the menu and explained the variety of teas to complement our food. We chose the afternoon tea blend to drink with our sandwich selection and then the rose blend to drink with our desserts. The sandwich selection was a delicious variety of egg mayonnaise with truffle, salt beef with mustard, coronation chicken, barber cheese and tomato (my personal favourite), and smoked salmon with cream cheese. They were all sandwiched in a variety of delicious breads. Plain and fruit scones were served with clotted cream and we tried them with both the strawberry jam and lemon curd which is something we hadn’t tried before. Again it was delicious. We couldn’t have managed the whole selection of desserts which were miniature works of art so we cut them in half and shared them. There was a chocolate brownie, lemon and blueberry tart, strawberry mousse, and vanilla and pistachio sponge. All were light but full of delicious flavours and marvellously created. We had the leftovers boxed to take home. The waiter also surprised my daughter with a celebratory slice of stunning coffee flavoured birthday cake which made our day even more special. Reuben’s is definitely a place to choose for a special occasion and I would highly recommend it.
