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.

    A wonderful selection of sweet and savoury delights, beautifully presented! Our coeliac diner was carefully considered, and the vegetarian menu was equally as appetizing as the standard courses. The choice of teas was broad and served in generously sized teapots. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Perhaps slightly on the pricey side, but this is afternoon tea in London so not unexpected! Definitely worth a visit and suitable for the young at heart of all ages!

    Very disappointed with this It was my best friends birthday and i decided to treat her as we both are obsessed with afternoon tea The service was incredibly slow and it wasn’t even busy Had to ask for milk 3 times by which point our 1st pot of tea had gone cold, our 2nd pot of tea i had to ask twice for and it ended up coming as we got our cakes (i had asked for it before the scones) Wasnt overly impressed with the cakes, a lot of bitter chocolate and coffee- not a fan but that was my opinion Not the kind of service id expect from a well known london venue

    Was lovely experience, my children are extremely fussy when it comes to trying new foods. Think they could offer options for children who are fussy. Plain jam sandwiches.. Plain drinks As an adult, I struggle to eat all the foods, and I would happily have a kids size menu. Overall, it was quite expensive but lovely as one of my experiences.

    We traveled 2 hours just for this experience and were greatly disappointed. We where celebrating a birthday and specified this on the booking notes, I had a phone call two days before the our reservation to organise this celebration and provide further details to which the staff member said they would ensure to provide us with the best service and a surprise, unfortunately this never happened and the birthday was never brought up. The food was limited and overall did not match the theme at all. The staff were okay but tried to charge us for water. The food was not at all worth the price. We were made to feel like we was walking out without paying and judged due to us being two youngish girls, some of the staff spoke down to us due to the mix up which was easily resolved and could have been done in a dignified way on their side instead of making a scene. We would NOT come here again and will be telling our friends and family not to waste their time or money.

    It could’ve been so much more! Our server was lovely and the idea is brilliant. But the food quality and definitely the ambiance needs improvement. Perhaps some themed music? Maybe a character walking around greeting tables? Or even doing a bit of magic? There are so many small improvements that could be easily made. Love the idea of not sure I would recommend at this point.

    Excellent, attentive service. They were also very accommodating to a variety of dietary requirements. Nothing was too much trouble. I notified them at the time of the booking, and they confirmed the requirements two days before. The food was excellent. We had several rounds of savouries and scones. I have experienced several London afternoon teas, and I would recommend Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We celebrated my 50th birthday, so don't worry if it is an adult-only booking.
