Brown’s Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel in London, will be launching a series of royally-themed offerings in May to celebrate and mark the Coronation of King Charles III on Saturday 6th May. Brown’s will be joining the festivities with an English garden-themed Afternoon Tea in partnership with Boodles (a nod to our green-fingered monarch), a ‘King’s Elixir’ cocktail, a portrait of King Charles III by John Swannell as well as a Coronation-inspired dish to share in Charlie’s.

The theme of the Afternoon Tea also takes inspiration from Boodles’ Secret Garden and Woodland jewellery collections.

At this very special Afternoon Tea guests will be offered finger sandwiches and pastries with fresh flowers whilst enjoying the floral installation by Brown’s in-house florist, Ellie Hartley.

Charles’ favourite cake – fruit loaf – will be served on a traditional tea trolley.
