Served in Town House at The Kensington, the exclusive tea names ‘Tale as Old as Time’ will be served with charming Mrs. Potts and Chip Potts dishware, while the delicious sweet and savoury treats also take inspiration from characters and scenes of the film. Highlights include Vanilla & Gold Jelly, served in shot glasses with the ever-symbolic rose petal immersed inside, topped with cream poured from Mrs. Potts spout. Other favourites include the Spiced Snow Ball Macaroon; Coconut & Chocolate, based on the classic scene featuring Belle and Beast’s playful snowball fight and the Chocolate Clock Tart; Chocolate Ganache, featuring an image of the lovable Cogsworth’s face. Alongside this selection of indulgent sweets, Town House will also be offering a variety of savoury delights, including a Bite-Sized Venison Pie, Cheese Soufflé with Roscoff Onion Pissaladiere, and a rich and delicious Beef Ragu & Saffron Arancini served with Lemon Crème Fraiche. As an alternative to scones for this afternoon tea, Town House will be offering Marie’s Sweet Brioche Baguette with apricot preserve & chocolate pot, referring to the local baker from Belle’s hometown in the film.
