If you're a seasoned Afternoon Tea connoisseur, then chances are you've tasted cucumber sandwiches and scones with clotted cream and jam aplenty at London's traditional teatime hotspots. We don't need to point you in the direction of The Wolseley or Fortnum & Mason – their Victoria sponges are nothing new. What we're introducing you to is a totally new Afternoon Tea experience at the InterContinental Park Lane.

Recently launched, High Coffee takes the traditional Afternoon Tea experience and turns it on its head. Targeted at coffee, not tea lovers, High Coffee is a five-course 'culinary cavalcade of caffeinated decadence'. Each course is expertly paired with caffeinated concoctions – all crafted with high-grade, hand roasted, wood fire coffee beans – that perfectly compliment the bold, and sometimes zingy flavours of the accompanying food. Working closely with L'Unico, Caffé Musetti, a leading supplier of Italian coffee, the team at the InterContinental Park Lane has created a delicious and surprising menu of sweet and savoury treats.

Gold Whisper members can enjoy 25% off the InterContinental Park Lane's High Coffee experience this month. Head to 'Gold Benefits' to view this offer.


We started with a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini that trumps any Espresso Martini we've ever tasted. Not too bitter and not too sweet, the unctuous cocktail slips down like a dream. It's served with an artfully presented selection of open savoury sandwiches, including chicken, celeriac and smoked eel.


Next come the warm savouries, served with a punchy, short Caffé Freddo. The bitterness of the Freddo perfectly balances the earthy, rich flavours of the lamb and rosemary open pie, explains our waiter. With each sip of Freddo and each bite of wild mushroom tumble weed pie – one of the other warm delicacies on offer – the harmony of flavours leaves you utterly bemused, but hungry for more. Unsurprisingly, our waiter's introduction was spot on. We must admit, though, that the palate-cleanser, a blood orange and ginger sorbet, comes as a welcome break after two full-bodied courses and two strong coffees.


But no tea-time experience would be complete without a selection of sweet treats. Make sure you leave room for the traditional warm sultana and buttermilk scones, which literally crumble and melt-in-the mouth, and the decadent array of chocolate desserts including a rich Bailey's chocolate éclair. We'd recommend pairing the final course with a Cortado to balance the sweetness of all the chocolate.


Served in the sumptuous surroundings of the InterContinental's Wellington Lounge, High Coffee is the perfect way to while away an afternoon. Bathed in natural light, and filled with melodic tunes played by the in-house pianist, it's a calm haven away from the hustle and bustle of central London. While you may be bouncing off the walls afterwards, this innovative counterpart for the much cherished Afternoon Tea is a must-try culinary innovation; especially, if you are more Coffee than Tea.


*A vegetarian menu is available on request.
