The One Aldwych Hotel on the Strand near Covent Garden offers an afternoon tea inspired by Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The One Aldwych Hotel on the Strand near Covent Garden has launched an afternoon tea inspired by Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The experience is described as one of the most immersive afternoon teas in London, with a menu entirely themed around the book and nods to Wonka's creations throughout.
The décor is a modern, colourful and playful take on Wonka's factory. Visitors enter through a photo area where they decide if they are a 'Good Nut' or a 'Bad Nut'. The tea offers a selection of teas and coffees, with options to add a glass of fizz or a cocktail. Cocktails inspired by the book include 'Just Like Gold' and 'Almost Entirely Edible'.
One highlight is the 'Hot Chocolate Chariot', where guests can curate their own hot chocolate with toppings and sauces including flakes, sprinkles, chocolate pearls, three kinds of sauce and caramel. Savouries include a 'Roast Dinner Sandwich' inspired by the gum Violet samples in the story, Mr Wonka's Smoked Salmon Quiche, finger sandwiches and a Cabbage Soup palate cleanser inspired by the soup Charlie's mother makes for his grandparents in the book.
The sweet treats form the main event of the afternoon tea, with the outlets noting that considerable thought has gone into bringing elements of the story to life on the menu.
