Visitors to London’s West End, and in particular those
heading to watch the hugely successful Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, can
enjoy an afternoon tea that will transport them to a world of pure imagination.
The treat at the One Aldwych Hotel, is to celebrate the
long-running show, based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book, which is
being shown nearby at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
The spectacular, tasty and magical themes of the show are
brought to life in the fantastic tea.
A crisp glass of Champagne or, even better, a ‘Cocktail
Charlie’ begins the epic tea.
The cocktail bubbles and smokes as it arrives in a glass
teapot, before the savoury selection arrives, with a colourful flourish.
The sandwiches include a tasteful twist on classic smoked
salmon and cream cheese, egg mayonnaise and beef and horseradish among others
delicious offerings.
But the piece de
resistance is the sweet selection.
A dizzying array of saccharine scrumptiousness awaits the
lucky tea taster.
Warm blueberry brioches, scones and delicious jams with
clotted cream, doughnuts on sticks, caramel and chocolate milk in mini milk
bottles, Werther’s Original candyfloss and other delights are an absolute
delight.
The tea varies from time to time depending on seasonal
flavours, but maintains the same magical opulence.
