McGowan is from Peoria, Ill., but discovered the tea room while visiting her son, who lives in Carmel. McGowan said she is a regular customer and thought the Royal Wedding buffet was a fun way to celebrate the royal nuptials.

Attendees of the Royal Wedding buffet at Tina’s Traditional Old English Tea Room and Tavern were asked to dress like they were attending the actual event. The dress code for the official event asked that women wear a day dress and hat. The Royal Wedding buffet featured a viewing of the Royal Wedding. Many of the attendees woke at 4 a.m. to watch the event live.

Guests also enjoyed a slice of lemon and elderflower cake, which was Harry and Meghan’s wedding cake, and a slice of Eaton Mess, the Groom’s Cake, which Princess Diana developed with her personal chef for Prince Harry’s and Prince William’s birthdays.

No British affair is quite complete without a spot of tea. Tina’s served Harry and Meghan Wedding Royal Tea and Buckingham Palace Garden Party Tea, a blend of Jasmine Grey and Earl Grey tea that was created for the Queen’s Garden Party that is held at Buckingham Palace each year.

The Royal Wedding buffet included a selection of British favorites, including coronation chicken salad, orange poppyseed scones, smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches and clotted cream and champagne elderflower jelly.
