Cape Grace Welcomes a Taste of London with an Afternoon Tea in Collaboration with the Savoy Hotel

As one of the world’s most exciting culinary hotpots, Cape Town’s waterfront hotel, Cape Grace joins forces with London’s legendary Savoy Hotel to serve up a limited-edition afternoon tea experience, launching this August for a few select dates. The experience promises an authentic high tea adventure, straight from the elegance of one of London’s most storied restaurants. Here’s everything you need to know.

About the Savoy x Cape Grace Afternoon Tea Experience

This special collaboration between Cape Grace and the Savoy Hotel celebrates the adored tradition of afternoon tea – created with a distinct South African twist. Set within the beautiful surrounds of Heirloom, the hotel’s flagship fine dining restaurant, The Savoy Afternoon Tea will run on select dates this August.

Three members of The Savoy’s esteemed team, hailing from both London and South Africa, will travel to Cape Town to co-create the experience alongside the Cape Grace team. The result being a refined menu inspired by seasonal local ingredients, and infused with the hallmarks of The Savoy’s signature style.

Think sandwiches such as coronation chicken and Franschhoek smoked trout, plus The Savoy’s signature raisin scones served with clotted cream, and patisserie highlights including the famed strawberries and cream cake – a favourite from the London menu, now brought to life in Cape Town.

Joining the Cape Grace team from the Savoy includes Liesl Booysen, a classically-trained South African-born sous chef; John Almeida, a celebrated Pastry Chef de Partie; and Dylan Martin, originally based in Johannesburg but now based at The Savoy’s Gallery Restaurant.

Make sure to secure your spot at one of these exclusive, limited edition high tea experiences this month.
