| 'The Queen's Jubilee Menu' |
2012 is a special year in the U.K. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the 2012
Olympics are the major events to be celebrated. The Capital Hotel is one of the few hotels in
London still family-run and remaining true to British character and design.
This is a "grand hotel in miniature" in an oasis of peace and tranquillity.
Between the 1st and 10th June 2012 the restaurant and
private rooms will offer the Queen's Jubilee Menu. This will comprise of the exact same dishes
enjoyed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on a visit to The Capital Restaurant,
namely seared scallops ceviche, deep fried crab & cucumber jelly; fillet of
lamb in black olive crust, cumin jus & lightly spiced couscous and to
finish poached pear with vanilla crème brûlée. The price is £60 per person,
available at both lunch and dinner.

There can be no finer British tradition than afternoon tea
and The Capital will be honouring the Olympics by complementing its normal
award-wining fare with a rather fine sporting theme (pictured above). Dumbbells (passion fruit ganache in Valhrona
chocolate shell), Winners' Podium (glazed lemon sponge), Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals (Valhrona chocolate button on a poppy seed
and ginger sable biscuit), Olympic Flame (banana cream rippled through with a
raspberry coulis and adorned with a white chocolate flame) and Basket Ball
(glazed carrot cake) will all be served alongside delicate sandwiches,
home-made scones served with clotted cream and their own jam.
Served in The Sitting Room between 2.30pm and 5.30pm, from
25th June (beginning of Wimbledon) until 9th September (end of the Para
Olympics), the price of this winning offering is just £25 per head.

Over the Jubilee Celebrations The Capital's "Best of British"
theme continues with its halls decked with stunning arrangements of indigenous
English flowers. These amazing floral
displays will be created by Hayford & Rhodes, one of London's oldest family
florists. Established in 1924, the company has passed through three generations
and is now managed by sisters Amy, Laura and Joanna Rhodes. The girls and their
team of designer florists love to use characteristically English blooms and
enjoy blending classic and contemporary styles to create a uniquely British
look.
