Newens Tea House London Maid of Honour Tarts has an elaborate history and is one of the most closely guarded pastry recipe in the world. Maids of Honour tarts was first discovered in the 16th century by Tudor King Henry VIII, who was introduced to the delicate pastry-filled tarts at Hampton Court Palace by Anne Boleyn, the second of his six wives.
It is said the King declared the tarts so delicious; he ordered the recipe - and the Maids Of Honour who baked them - to be locked up and only allowed out to bake for the Royal court. The Maids Of Honour recipe remained a secret for over 200 years until it was leaked by a palace cook to John Billet, a baker in nearby Richmond.
In 1850, Robert Newens, a former Billet apprentice, opened his own bakery in Richmond, using the original Maids Of Honour recipe he learned as a trainee baker. Since then the Newens family have continued baking Maids Of Honour tarts to the same recipe through the generations for customers who have included Britain's wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth II and more recently celebrity X Factor judge Simon Cowell, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
For the first time, in December 2014, Maids of Honour tarts made a historic 6,000 miles journey from London to Kuala Lumpur - the first time the recipe had been taken outside the UK - when Newens opened inside Starhill Gallery.
Lastly for the final tier of this English afternoon tea set; it features an assorted open sandwiches which has filling of cheese, chicken, and smoked salmon.
For this A Journey Through Time IX event, Newens Tea House will feature this special English Afternoon Hi Tea set at RM160 Nett for 2 pax.
