Winter Club Sandwich at Andaz Liverpool Street London – review

There seems to be no waning of the popularity of afternoon tea. It was, quite a while back, regarded as chintzy and stuffy but now it is considered a real meal, rather than an event of boring obligation for your Great Aunt Betty’s 80th birthday. Andaz offers a warming version of afternoon tea.

I personally love the traditional afternoon tea of sandwiches and sweets, but if one wants to indulge on a regular basis then that, however delightful, can become a little samey. One searches for an afternoon tea that’s a little different. One craves a hint of delicious innovation. One yearns for a plate of something memorable.

Celebrated international food designer Chef Linda Monique has collaborated with the Andaz Liverpool Street’s pastry chef, Joseph Wagenaar, to present afternoon nibblers with their classic-with-a-difference. They have invented a BLT but unlike anything one would expect. This is a limited edition Winter Club Sandwich which will appeal to any visitor who wants a teatime treat that is both contemporary and designed to raise a smile. It’s a totally sweet version of that famous savoury sandwich.
