This location has been many things since the start of 2016, the last I heard it was a lobster restaurant which I wanted to try but it didn’t last. Now it’s Cup/Gin71 and this seems to be doing a lot better than any previous attempts here.
I like the occasional afternoon tea, so when I see that there is a deal on I will more than likely purchase it. This deal was for a special Afternoon Tea Experience and was on 5pm. The deal was £22.50 for 1 or for two just add another £1 so I did.
Cup/Gin71 has done up the location very nicely, this little lane is a very nice location. I have only ever tried one Cup branch and it was very nice, so I was looking forward to seeing how this location compared to the other one.
Festive Afternoon Tea Experience
Drinks :
- Glass of mulled wine
- Cappuccino (or a tea)
Amuse Bouche :
- Scotch Broth
This was very nice, it was presented in a small cup about the size of an espresso-sized cup. It was very nice to taste, and due to the size of the Afternoon Tea, I am glad it was this small size.
Savories
- Salmon Mousse Crostini
- Chicken Liver Pate on Oatcake
- Safe and Onion Scone with turkey and cranberry filling
- Ham Hough and Ginger Mustard Croissant
Scones
- Apple & Cinnamon
- Plain
Sweets
- Lemon and Gingernut Cheesecake
- Julian Plumart Macaron
- Fig Orange Cupcake
- Warn Mince Pie
- Meringue Nest with Cinnamon Cream Filling
Overall :
This was a very nice afternoon tea, and I loved the little soup at the start. Everything was presented very nicely, and everything was very tasty and it was very filling.
If the other afternoon teas are up to the same standard as this, then this will now be in my top 3 places for Afternoon Tea.
Not in any order!!
- Afternoon Tea at the Edinburgh Waldorf Astoria Hotel
- Glasgow Corinthian
- Cup (Merchant City)
I like it when people get together and share opinions. Great site, stick with it!
My spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different
web page and thought I should check things out.
I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to finding out about
your web page for a second time.
You are so cool! I do not think I have read anything like that before.
So great to discover somebody with a few original thoughts on this subject.
Really.. thank you for starting this up. This site is one thing that is needed
on the internet, someone with some originality!
Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
I saw a lot of website however I believe this one has got something great in it.
Thanks for sharing.
I wanna admit that this is incredibly useful, Thanks for taking
your time to write this.
Keep up the great piece of work, I read few blog posts on this website and I think that your website is
really fascinating and has a lot of great information.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never
understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
It’s hard to come by knowledgeable people about this topic, butt
you seem llike you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources

niche as yours and my visitors would genuinely benefit from some of the

Thanks!
