If you’re planning a trip to the West End for a spot of Christmas shopping, you could always indulge in a rather special afternoon tea in Selfridges Brasserie of Light.
It’s an elegant and contemporary restaurant located within the storied walls of Selfridges on Oxford Street.
You can enjoy exclusive seasonal menus and carefully curated cocktails, under the ever-watchful eye of Pegasus, a 24ft tall, Damien Hirst sculpture that soars over diners in a breath-taking, colourful space flooded with natural light. Brasserie of Light has added a new chapter to its story with the launch of its Pegasus Afternoon Tea (£49pp), served in the restaurant’s iconic Art Deco surroundings.
The Pegasus Afternoon Tea is a beautifully presented experience that pays tribute to the timeless elegance of our British tea culture, while showcasing Brasserie of Light’s theatrical flair. Served daily from 3pm, the offering is delicately arranged on a silver tray adorned with the restaurant’s iconic Pegasus.
The tea begins with a selection of savoury bites including Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese on rye bread, a Free-Range Egg & Cress Croissant, and a Truffle Chicken Brioche with freshly grated truffle. You’re then treated to warm fruited Scones, served with clotted cream, fresh strawberries, and strawberry preserve; a nod to the comforting classics of the British teatime tradition.
It’s completed with a selection of intricate patisserie, offering a medley of a mini Strawberry, Vanilla and White Chocolate Cheesecake, a tropical Coconut and Rum Panna Cotta with Mango and Pineapple, Chocolate Bubbles with Brownie, a Raspberry Almond Macaron, and a rich Raspberry & Pistachio Cupcake.
A selection of fine teas is offered, from classic Breakfast Blend and Earl Grey to fragrant Jasmine Pearls, Fresh Mint and herbal infusions, as well as barista-crafted coffees and hot chocolate. If seeking extra sparkle, you can elevate your experience with a glass of G.H. Mumm Champagne for an additional £19.
Available Monday to Saturday from 3pm to 5pm, and Sundays from 3pm to 6pm, the Pegasus Afternoon Tea offers an indulgent way to enjoy a leisurely afternoon and recover from the stresses of shopping.
• The Pegasus Afternoon Tea is available Monday – Saturday 3- 5pm and Sunday 3- 6pm
