Complementing this dynamic space is The Gantry’s East London Afternoon Tea—an elegant and playful homage to the rich heritage and culinary traditions of the area.
Immaculately presented, the menu invites guests to savour East End classics like mini fish ‘n’ chips and Brick Lane-inspired salt beef beigels, along with beloved British staples such as brioche sandwiches filled with aged Cheddar Gorge cheese, cultured butter, and homemade red onion jam. A nod to tradition is evident in the British heritage fruit scones served with Cornish clotted cream and field strawberry preserve, while a whimsical twist on the iconic East End ‘Jellied Eel’ integrates Champagne jelly, fruit gummies, and strawberry dust for a modern treat. Paired with a range of premium teas, coffees, or optional upgrades like an East London Gin & Tonic or English sparkling wine, this afternoon tea experience is unmatched.
Available every Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm, it’s a celebration of East London’s vibrant culinary scene in a stunning setting overlooking Stratford’s skyline.
