'The Queen's Jubilee Menu' at The Capital Hotel

 'The Queen's Jubilee Menu'
2012 is a special year in the U.K. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympics are the major events to be celebrated. The Capital Hotel is one of the few hotels in London still family-run and remaining true to British character and design. This is a "grand hotel in miniature" in an oasis of peace and tranquillity.
Between the 1st and 10th June 2012 the restaurant and private rooms will offer the Queen's Jubilee Menu.   This will comprise of the exact same dishes enjoyed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on a visit to The Capital Restaurant, namely seared scallops ceviche, deep fried crab & cucumber jelly; fillet of lamb in black olive crust, cumin jus & lightly spiced couscous and to finish poached pear with vanilla crème brûlée. The price is £60 per person, available at both lunch and dinner.

There can be no finer British tradition than afternoon tea and The Capital will be honouring the Olympics by complementing its normal award-wining fare with a rather fine sporting theme (pictured above).  Dumbbells (passion fruit ganache in Valhrona chocolate shell), Winners' Podium (glazed lemon sponge),  Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals (Valhrona chocolate button on a poppy seed and ginger sable biscuit), Olympic Flame (banana cream rippled through with a raspberry coulis and adorned with a white chocolate flame) and Basket Ball (glazed carrot cake) will all be served alongside delicate sandwiches, home-made scones served with clotted cream and their own jam.                                                                 

Served in The Sitting Room between 2.30pm and 5.30pm, from 25th June (beginning of Wimbledon) until 9th September (end of the Para Olympics), the price of this winning offering is just £25 per head.

Over the Jubilee Celebrations The Capital's "Best of British" theme continues with its halls decked with stunning arrangements of indigenous English flowers.  These amazing floral displays will be created by Hayford & Rhodes, one of London's oldest family florists. Established in 1924, the company has passed through three generations and is now managed by sisters Amy, Laura and Joanna Rhodes. The girls and their team of designer florists love to use characteristically English blooms and enjoy blending classic and contemporary styles to create a uniquely British look.
