Festive Afternoon Tea Adventures; Malmaison, Birmingham

I have been for afternoon tea at Malmaison before and found it to be a really nice selection of dishes.  The festive menu includes a glass of prosecco. and unlimited tea or coffee.

The tea was served on a modern metal and slate stand which is ideal as a Malmaison Afternoon Tea has quite a modern feel to it with sliders and brioche buns instead of sandwiches.

For the festive tea Malmaison have stayed with their nontraditional savoury selection which includes:

• Turkey, cranberry and stuffing wrap
• Mal slider
• pig in blanket brioche roll

The fruit scone is served with jam and clotted cream.

For the sweet course there is

• Christmas fruit cake
• mince pie
• festive ginger bread biscuit
• yule log
• sherry trifle

The yule log is a very decadent dark chocolate and the ginger biscuit is very light.  I was a little disappointed with the sherry trifle as I couldn’t taste any sherry.

The festive afternoon tea is priced at £25 per person and is bookable 24 hours in advance.  For more afternoon tea reviews please see here.
