To celebrate being the Official Hotel Partner for the EE British Academy Film Awards, The Savoy, a Fairmont Managed Hotel, has created a brand new Afternoon Tea menu just in time for awards season.

Officially launching on Monday 6th February 2017, the Silver Screen Afternoon Tea will boast delicious new pastries and celluloid-inspired creations that shine with flashbulb popping star quality.

The Silver Screen Afternoon Tea will be served in The Savoy’s Thames Foyer, an enchanting space that radiates natural light and sociable warmth. Since opening in 1889, The Savoy has played host to a galaxy of stars from stage and screen including Katherine Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. These guests form the inspiration for A Time Reflection, a collection of McAlphine Miller artwork the permanently adorns the walls of Thames Foyer and which provides the perfect backdrop to the Silver Screen Afternoon Tea.

Created by The Savoy’s Executive Pastry Chef, Ludwig Hely, and this team the Silver Screen Afternoon Tea menu, priced from £52.50, featured a range of cakes, sandwiches and pastries inspired movies that have been nominated this year.
