The Circus Afternoon-tea • Vintry & Mercer *****
City of London •
💎 A circus-inspired afternoon tea where pastries take the spotlight inside a 5-star speakeasy in the City. Steps from Mansion House, inside the DND bar, the table turns theatrical: roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, truffled egg mayo brioche, coronation chicken with mango chutney, smoked salmon blinis with herb cream cheese, then warm buttermilk scones with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. The sweet act leans into the big top: “The Big Top” raspberry-lemon mousse, peach and raspberry Carousel macarons, “Balancing Nelly” chocolate cake pop, and “Bobo the Clown”, a blackberry-white chocolate cheesecake.
