## Berners Tavern 

Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton is the man behind Berners Tavern, one of London’s most sought-after restaurant reservations. Located in Fitzrovia’s London EDITION hotel, the restaurant blends a romantic, historical look with an all-day dining menu of seasonal, contemporary British cuisine. This month, the hotel is offering 25% off its afternoon tea. You’ll find no boring finger sandwiches here, rather decadent chicken and truffle baguettes, salmon tartare, a delicious selection of sweets, including a chocolate tart with yuzu, and unlimited scones with jam and cream. To redeem this offer, guests should quote 'TEA TIME' when booking. Afternoon tea is served Saturday and Sunday, between 12-4pm.
