It was already one of Edinburgh’s ultimate afternoon tea experiences, but from now until 4th January 2025, Fingal’s famed sandwich, scone and sweet things selection will be extra special.
Permanently berthed in Edinburgh’s historic Port of Leith, Scotland’s only five-star floating hotel provides an opulent setting for friends, family and colleagues to indulge in its new five-course Festive Afternoon Tea.
Fingal’s galley team have doubled down on this most decadent of British traditions for the holiday season, creating an Afternoon Tea menu that includes Loch Linnhe salmon rillettes with cucumber gel, lemon and mandarin; Kintyre blue cheese and fig tarts with walnut emulsion; and Lochaber free-range turkey, sage, onion and cranberry brioche buns.
People with a sweet tooth can indulge in Matcha cakes with yuzu and vanilla mousseline; Gingerbread houses with speculoos biscuits; Mouneyrac pear with chocolate financiers; and Coconut and salted caramel macarons.
The price tag? £70 per person, or from £85 per person for an even more extra special Champagne Afternoon Tea.
Re-launched as a luxury hotel in 2019, Fingal is a former Northern Lighthouse Board tender, owned and operated by the award-winning team at The Royal Yacht Britannia, which is located just 10 minutes away.
Located opposite the Port of Leith tram stop, which offers a direct transport link between Leith, Edinburgh city centre and Edinburgh Airport, its Lighthouse Restaurant and Bar is open to non-residents for Afternoon Tea, dinner and cocktails.
