The overall experience would be 5 stars all round except for one thing - please never put truffle in the egg mayo sandwiches ever again. It completely overpowered everything and, if I can be indelicate for a moment - repeated on us all every five minutes or so. Other than that, an amazing experience, as always.

We all enjoyed our afternoon tea in the outside dome and the service was very good. Iswarj and Chris were very friendly. The canapes and beef and horseradish sandwiches were particularly good. The domes are a great idea and a fun way to have an afternoon tea

About the restaurant

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.
