Tucked away within the museum's Anning Rooms, you can dine on dinosaur-footprint macarons and ammonite cookies
For generations, the Natural History Museum in London has been a beacon of knowledge, showcasing the wonders of the world through its vast collections and exhibitions. From the towering blue whale skeleton to the intricate sketches of Charles Darwin, the museum has enthralled visitors. And now, breaking new ground, it introduces a unique experience – afternoon tea.
Set to debut on 20 March, this inaugural afternoon tea offering is a testament to the museum's commitment to innovation and creativity. Aptly named "Inspired by Nature", the museum has teamed up with Benugo's skilled pastry chefs to unveil a menu that celebrates the best of British farming and seasonal produce. Nestled within the museum's exclusive Anning Rooms – a space renowned for its architectural beauty and panoramic views – guests will embark on a gastronomic adventure inspired by the very essence of nature.
The menu is meticulously curated to reflect the museum's character, featuring an array of delectable treats. From classic coronation chicken sandwiches to delicate cucumber creations, each dish is a culinary homage to the wonders of the natural world. Savoury delights such as cherry tomato tarts and vegan options ensure there's something for every palate.
But it's the sweets that truly steal the show. Earl Grey scones, served with Cornish clotted cream and Tiptree strawberry jam, offer a taste of quintessential British indulgence. Meanwhile, whimsical-themed desserts, including dinosaur-footprint macarons and ammonite cookies, add a playful touch to the experience.
So whether you're a seasoned museum-goer or a first-time visitor to the Natural History Museum, be sure to try the Inspired by Nature afternoon tea. Pre-booking is essential for this exclusive experience.
