Often overlooked, but never disappointing the classic Afternoon Tea is back and here to stay at the Pantry at 108 Marylebone.
Newly launched in April, the casual chic all-day bistro offers both guests and diners the chance to dine in the heart of Marylebone with an option to choose from either a delicate lunch menu or afternoon tea menu.
Located a stone’s throw from London’s bustling Oxford Street, Pantry at 108 Marylebone is the perfect spot to stop and refuel after a day’s shopping or a light bite before the theatre.
With a bursting menu of afternoon teas on offer, Pantry at 108 caters for both dairy and gluten intolerances as well as offering the traditional classic.
For StyleNest, we decided to opt for the dairy and gluten free option, offering a range of light and healthy dishes, without neglecting any of the afternoon tea essentials such as finger sandwiches and scones.
As we sunk into the plush velvet banquette seating, our waiter arrived with a selection of teas in which we were instructed to smell the intoxicating tea leaf aromas. After a brief description, we soon select our teas and the tiers of treats arrive swiftly after.
With a range of gluten and dairy free sandwiches before us, we indulged in classic cucumber fingers garnished with a fluffy couscous salad for a refreshing and contemporary take on the classic afternoon tea. Saving room for sweets, mouth-watering cakes such as coconut and date and chocolate brownies as well as layered fruit jelly made the layers of the tiered cake stand. Finishing with gluten free scones and strawberry jam, the afternoon tea was completed with a chilled glass of sparkling wine to help mark this very English occasion.
The perfect spot for an afternoon for girly gossiping or much-needed mum and daughter time, Pantry at 108 Marylebone offers an indulgent menu with a sumptuous interior to match.
Pantry at 108 will be open daily from 11am until 6pm at 108 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2QE
