Charming

Indulge your inner child and adventure into the magical, mouth-watering world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with our enchanting afternoon tea, that has had a dazzling makeover.

Fizzy lifting drinks, snozzberry jam, chocolate swudge milkshake mixed by waterfall –all tantalisingly tremendous items inspired by Roald Dahl’s iconic story.

In the heart of London’s theatreland, you can find a wonderful taste of Willy Wonka’s factory. Feast on scrumptious savouries such as our not-quite-as-it-seems macaron and classic Coronation chicken. Journey on for fabulously fluffy floss and a box stacked high with wondrous cakes, sweets, mallows and creams. If you find this thirsty work, wash it down with chocolate or lemon sherbet tea, Juicing Room mix, water pistol punch cocktails, or fizzy lifting Champagne - spot on for spectacular special occasions or simply an indulgent afternoon immersed in one of the tastiest tales ever told.

Well...certainly not worth the money! Couldn't believe what we got for the price that we paid. The experience was ok, average, mediocre. The service was good and couldn't fault any of the staff at all. But the food and whole experience was extremely disappointing for the amount paid and for what you really get. £95 per person and a couple of very tiny sandwiches. What you did get was okay, not amazing, but not terrible. But definitely not enough to really fill you up. The service charge of more than £83 for a family to go out is ridiculous. Very let down, and extremely out of pocket, without a full tummy!

Incredible! Our daughter loves the story and it was a magical afternoon for all of us. There aren’t loads of props or gimmicks but that doesn’t matter one bit. Food is imaginative and magical and staff are superb. Highly recommend

A lot depends on which server you get--they really make or break the experience. The food was very good and there were lots of fun extras included. I wish the food display was more imaginative--there was a drawer underneath a little box where the desserts were served, but it was empty. Seems like an opportunity for a little more whimsy. I would give this one a miss and aim for Jurassic Park tea at Ampersand or the hot chocolate experience at Chinoserie if you're looking for a lovely special treat with a little one.

2 x children and 2 x adults. However as they are 13 & 14 they are charged adult rates So afternoon tea for 4 including service was over £450 Absolutely ridiculous prices Food was ok. Quirky imaginative and entertaining. Service was excellent, restaurant was a little cold. Not much atmosphere. The let down was the price. Def NOT worth the money

Nous avions des attentes trop élevées je pense, nous pensions réellement vivre une expérience immersive dans le monde de Charlie et la chocolaterie. Le lieu me manque de décor dans le thème, la nourriture était ok mais manque aussi de l’esprit Charlie et la chocolaterie. Nous avons également était surpris par le menu spécial fête car lors de la réservation rien n’indiquait que le menu était unique et aucun mail n’a été envoyé pour nous prévenir, heureusement le serveur a été extrêmement gentil et nous a fait l’afternoon tea au prix où nous l’avions vu.
