The St Ermin's Hotel, St James's Park will be hosting its very own courtyard street party to coincide with her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Patron Lunch on The Mall in London, Sunday 12th June. In spectacular British fashion, the St Ermin's beautiful courtyard will be draped in bunting - with huge decorated tables for up to 80 people per sitting, where Afternoon 'RoyalTea' – or 'NineTea' for little ones will be served. www.sterminshotel.co.uk

With a live jazz band playing throughout the afternoon, unlimited candy floss, Pimm's station, 'Bug Bar' – a cocktail serving, converted VW campervan and coverage of the Mall being shown; those unable to attend the official 'Patrons Lunch' will enjoy a right royal celebration of their own, in the heart of Westminster.

Stealing the show are the St Ermin's delicious new Afternoon Tea menus: Inspired by Her Majesty's favourite foods and made using only the finest British ingredients, the RoyalTea and NineTea include a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and wonderfully creative sweet treats, including: The Golden Orb – Scottish shortbread with pistachio and a glazed lemon lime curd dome; Empire in a Glass – vanilla custard set with poached Yorkshire rhubarb and royal meringue. Little ones will be treated to Chocolate Biscuit Cake (served at the Queen's wedding), Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes and one of Queen Elizabeth's treasured childhood treats – Jam Pennies… small jam sandwiches cut into circles the size of an (old) English penny!
