Morning Tea is an alternative of Afternoon Tea at Peggy Porschen Belgravia. It is best to prebook and is served until 14.oo hours
Peggy Porschen
I have drooled over Peggy Porschen’s Instagram page for a few years now and have always promised myself a visit. So when myself and my 2 good friends were visiting London for 2 days we decided to visit. As we were attending an event from 12 midday we opted for the Morning Tea – we thought it would be a new experience for us, being regular aficionado’s of afternoon tea , and an alternative breakfast feast. You may wish to read my review of another fabulous tea room in Manchester.
We booked in advance to ensure our table, it was easy to find in Belgravia from Victoria Station and only a short walk.
We arrived to a quiet cafe, where our table awaited us. The exterior invites you in, and inside bursts a plethora of pinkness! Floral and whimsical touches create a pink-pastel dream with a feminine, vintage candy-store aesthetic. Terrazzo tables, a luxurious glass patisserie counter laden with cakes, and dainty pendant chandeliers framed by bunting-laden walls complete the scene. Every detail begs to be photographed—so very Instagrammable.
The breakfast tea is served in 3 tiers like an afternoon tea and cost £44 per person.
Top tier -All Butter Croissant Mixed Berries, Yoghurt & Nutty Granola
Middle Tier – Buttermilk Pancakes Brioche French Toast Served with Berry Sauce, Maple Syrup and Lemon & Vanilla Mascarpone
Bottom Tier – Eggs Florentine (Wilted spinach) Smashed Avocado & Feta Toast Fancy Forager’s Toast Creamy mushrooms, truffle & soft-boiled egg – although creamy mushrooms are advertised on the menu ours were all egg based., therefore the menu must change occasionally from that advertised.
There is also a selection of teas and many other drinks.
As we were leaving there was quite a long queue outside for walk-ins. Testimony to its popularity.
Service & Hospitality
Staff were welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable, we had small suitcases with us and they accommodated our request to sit in a space where our bags wouldn’t be a nuisance. They were also very accommodating when another friend joined us just for a drink.
Overall Experience & Rating
It was a very enjoyable experience for a treat. My friends enjoyed it all but as I really dislike Avocado’s I found it difficult to eat the lower tier, but that’s nothing to do with the quality of the food just my personal taste! Missing mushrooms was a disappointment to me.
Everything else was delicious. I regret not purchasing a cake to take out for later in the day on the train home to Manchester.
It’s a lovely treat and a tick on my bucket list. Would I visit again? Yes if I was nearby but wouldn’t be upset if I didn’t get a second visit as there are still so many different venues to try out still.
There is also fabulous Peggy Porschen branded crockery that you can buy. I really liked the shape and decor of the cup and saucer but couldn’t carry it home due to my suitcase being full. It can be bought online.
Alternatively there are some lovely sets similar in looks but more reasonably priced if you are on a budget but would like to recreate it at home for friends and family on Amazon
This was a lovely way to start a day in such lovely surroundings.
Final Thoughts & Recommendations
If you’re looking for a birthday treat or a venue for a special celebration this is excellent. I would always recommend booking in advance to save queuing outside.
