Harbourside hotel The Bristol is launching a new afternoon tea menu, and is giving away free gin cocktails to customers to celebrate. The ‘G & Afternoon Tea’ menu launches on August 8 and every adult ordering afternoon tea (priced at £25 per person) between then and August 14 will receive a complimentary gin cocktail.
Coinciding with the start of National Afternoon Tea Week, the hotel’s new menu also celebrates the creativity and artistic spirit of Bristol as well as supporting local producers. The ‘G & Afternoon Tea’ menu sees the hotel in Prince Street join forces with Bristol Dry Gin, Park Street shop Bird & Blend Tea Co, and Bristol-based street artist SP: Zero to showcase the very best of the city in a modern twist on the traditional afternoon tea.
SP: Zero brings his trademark stylings to the menu highlighting the floral botanicals featured in the teas and cocktails, classic cakes and some of the harbourside’s most iconic sights in its artwork. Served in the The River Lounge (or The River Grille for larger groups), the ‘G & Afternoon Tea’ includes all the classics, such as cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwiches, warm scones served with Cornish clotted cream and a selection of handmade miniature cakes, served on The Doyle Collection’s Heritage Collection bone china.
