Afternoon Tea News: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 'Not Afternoon Tea' at OXO Tower, London

Prepare your taste buds for the launch of OXO Tower's brand new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 'Not Afternoon Tea Experience' - Be sure to book your golden ticket today!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Ever wanted to step in a great glass elevator and fly away to a world of sweets? Well now you can with the OXO tower's brand new 'Not Afternoon Tea'. Here is a little peek at what you can expect:

It may not be the Great Glass Elevator, but from the moment you step out of the lift on the Eighth Floor of the OXO Tower we promise an adventure for the taste buds to rival Willy Wonka’s very own creations.

Choose from the four Not Afternoon Tea plates on offer (featuring a selection of delicious desserts perfectly partnered with a bespoke cocktail) and opt for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory experience for the ultimate taste sensation.

A naughty but very nice Neapolitan Hot Shot sets the tone mixing Celaya hot chocolate with vanilla syrup and layered with white chocolate and strawberry foam. Sip on a Snozberry Slurp as you enjoy your choice of desserts and revel in sensory pleasure and childhood nostalgia with homemade ice cream jelly flowers, candy floss garnish and marshmallow twirl.

The happily-ever-after ending comes in the form of a Box of ‘Children’ Truffles, which features delectable treats characteristic of the lucky Willy Wonka Golden Ticket winners – such as the Violet Beauregarde blueberry macaroon with violet ganache. Enjoy at the theatre as the musical unfolds, or take home to experience later.
