Gird your loins and prepare for an experience that even Miranda Priestly would approve of. The Coral Room at The Bloomsbury Hotel is rolling out the red carpet for its newest, chicest offering: The Devil Wears Prada Afternoon Tea and Cocktail Menu.
Created in honour of the hotly anticipated West End debut of The Devil Wears Prada musical at the Dominion Theatre, this exclusive experience, brings a dash of haute couture and a sprinkle of runway magic to Bloomsbury. Expect a spread that blends high fashion with indulgent flavours, all set against the stunning backdrop of one of London’s most beautiful bars.
Step into a world where fashion reigns supreme with The Coral Room’s meticulously crafted Runway Afternoon Tea, priced at £48 per person or £65, including a glass of Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Champagne.
With a menu full of indulgent delights that would make any editor swoon, it’s the perfect excuse to throw on your best cerulean sweater and say, ‘That’s all.’ And don’t worry; there is no need to track down a copy of Harry Potter for this reservation.
To Start:
- Nate’s Grilled Cheese – The ultimate comfort food for when you’ve had it up to here with clackers, and deadlines.
- Truffled Egg Mayonnaise on Pain de Mie – A bite so luxurious, even Miranda wouldn’t roll her eyes. Because let’s be honest, ‘details of your incompetence do not interest me.’
- Roast Turkey & Cranberry on Onion Bread – A reliable classic, as solid as Nigel’s advice to ‘choose the right accessories’—because nobody wants to be caught in the wrong shoes.
- Cucumber and Crème Fraîche Campillous – Crisp and cool, the perfect palate cleanser for when you need to keep calm, carry on, and not drop the Book in Miranda’s foyer again.
- Smoked Salmon Rillette Sub Roll – A refined twist on the classic, much like Andy’s transformation from frumpy sweaters to “Is she wearing Chanel?”
Scones:
- Buttermilk and Sultana Scones – Light and fluffy, served with Cornish Clotted Cream and homemade Mulled Pear Jam. Because let’s face it, you’ve earned a scone or three after delivering the Harry Potter manuscript before publication.
Patisserie:
- “No Foam Skimmed Latte with an Extra Shot” – Hazelnut Opera Cake with coffee and caramel. For those times when your caffeine order is the only thing standing between you and a full-blown “the-dragon-is-coming” moment.
- “Gird Your Loins” – Devil’s Chocolate Cake, as rich and indulgent as Andy’s one-in-a-million chance of becoming Miranda’s assistant—and surviving to tell the tale.
- “It’s Not Just Blue, It’s Cerulean” – Greek Yoghurt Mousse with Blueberry, because if we’re going to do this, let’s do it right. Yes, it does make a difference.
- “A Single Cube of Cheese” – New York Cheesecake with Papua New Guinean Vanilla. A nod to that moment of self-realisation when you decide to savour every bite—guilt-free and fabulous.
Cinnamon Madeleine – A sweet and subtle end to the tea, like Nigel’s heartfelt pep talks that remind us to embrace our unique style and own it—because confidence is always in fashion.
