Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Afternoon Tea

if there's one film that makes us feel all gooey inside it's charlie and the chocolate factory but let's be honest though if food features heavily within a film - it's going to be on our favs list the day has finally come for us to go and see the new musical so what better way to begin the day than with a food celebration

the super cute menus at one aldwych show each of the special golden ticket winners hashtag jealous

can we have our food now... pretty please :)

while the sophisticated decor doesn't exactly scream chocolate factory

the food and drink will CERTAINLY transport you there

the modern take on Wonka's creations seem like something right out of Heston's magical mind

there's even a liquid nitrogen cocktail. like WOW

as you can tell Beth is pretty excited about it

then came the sandwiches

beautifully presented and just as beautifully tasting

now you can't have afternoon tea without the tea.

or it would just be called afternoon. and wouldn't that be silly!

we went for jewelled apple and smooth caramel - both equally sweet and delicious

a nice quick refresh before the feast continues

'omg it tastes just like caramel' - Beth on her caramel tea

just so classy babes

oh bloggers and their lipstick marks

the chocolate factory theme truly begins with the sweets

a seriously sugarly blend of chocolatey shakes, candy floss, eton mess, cheesecake eggs...

and our personal favourite: a luscious lemony cake pop YUM topped with crackling popping candy. DOUBLE YUM

obvs there's no other way to finish than with a perf crumbly scone (now that's scone with an oh, not scone with an on)

Mr. Wonka, we salute you. and your food.
