The Salon at Blythswood Square

Bye bye January!

We’re not sorry to see you go. All those resolutions to be leaner, cleaner and greener were good while they lasted.

But now it’s time to put the hair shirt away and start having fun again.

And we’re going to get the good times rolling with today’s Big Deal on afternoon tea for two in The Salon at Blythswood Square Hotel.

Sophisticated bar

If you toddle up the grand staircase at the five star Blythswood Square, you will find the Salon, an elegant lounge bar.

It is a very chic space. In fact, the drinks Bible Class magazine rated it as one of ‘the best bars in the world’.

Decked out with chandeliers, Harris Tweed chairs, Ionic columns and large windows looking out over Blythswood Square itself, it is a sophisticated spot and perfect for enjoying this delicious Big Deal.

Optional Prosecco

Available noon to 5pm, Sunday to Friday, option one is for two people to have afternoon tea. Option two adds a glass of Prosecco for each guest.

The Blythswood patisserie chefs are always innovating and baking up new treats so the afternoon tea menu changes regularly.

However, typical savouries might be the Ayrshire honey roast ham with Arran mustard on a mini roll; the smoked salmon and dill mayonnaise mini brioche or the applewood smoked cheddar and tomato tartlet.

Of course, there are always traditional and fruit scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve.

The cake selection might include a lightly toasted coconut meringue cone; a passion fruit macaron; apple crumble tartlet and a Madagascan Madirofolo chocolate mousse choux bun.

The Salon serves a wide range of loose leaf teas and speciality coffees.
