Afternoon Tea at Pan Pacific London is served in Ginger Lily Bar and Lounge at the hotel on 80 Houndsditch. Warm wood, floor to ceiling windows and considered contemporary design create a calm setting close to the bustle of Liverpool Street Station.
The traditional three part format brings together delicate savoury sandwiches, freshly baked scones and pastries made by the hotel’s pastry team. Seasonal changes give the selection a fresh identity while preserving the balance between savoury bites and carefully finished sweets.
A curated range of Newby teas accompanies the food, with Champagne available for diners who want to make the occasion more celebratory. A dedicated vegan afternoon tea extends the experience to plant based guests without treating it as an afterthought.
Children have their own version with sandwiches and scones plus biscuits and cupcakes that they can decorate at the table. The measured service and comfortable lounge make this a natural choice for birthdays, reunions or an unhurried break in the City.
