The Savoy’s first children’s Afternoon Tea inspired by The Tiger Who Came to Tea
British favourite ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ , written and illustrated by beloved author Judith Kerr and published by HarperCollins Children’s Books, has charmed children and parents alike since its first publication in 1968. This October, to coincide with its recently announced literary programme, The Savoy has partnered with HarperCollins Children’s Books to launch a unique children’s Afternoon Tea – The Tiger Who Came to Tea at The Savoy. This is all part of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the treasured classic.
In 129 years, The Savoy has never had a children’s Afternoon Tea. Treats will be taken from the page to the table which are inspired by the tea that Sophie and her mummy shared with the visiting tiger in the story. The Savoy’s pastry team have created a whimsical menu that will enchant children and bring delight to all grown-ups who are nostalgic for classic stories. The tea will be served on bespoke chinaware also inspired by the story and available to buy from Savoy Tea. 
The Tiger Who Came to Tea at The Savoy will be priced from £40 per child aged from five to 12 years old and will comprise sandwiches, tiger striped scones and pastries. All which sound amazing!
