Best Themed Afternoon Tea Near Me
Amusement Mile at Park Row
Park Row, 77 Brewer St, Soho, London, W1F 9ZN
A new fun and immersive afternoon tea has launched at Park Row in the heart of London’s theatreland based on the Amusement Mile fairground in Gotham City.
Once billed as the destination for families from Gotham’s elite to the blue-collar working class, the Amusement Mile now faces permanent closure with rumours that the Clown Prince of Crime, also known as the Joker, has set up his base of operations there.
Park Row’s Amusement Mile afternoon tea pays homage to this famous carnival location with a delectable menu guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The tea is available to book Thursday to Sunday and priced at £40 per person.
Created by Culinary Alchemist James Bulmer and the creative team at the Academy of Curiosity and Wonderment, you will start your tea at the fair with nitro popcorn and a selection of scrumptious sandwiches such as mulligatawny coronation chicken with hidden ‘toast’ and truffled egg, followed by freshly baked scones and homemade seasonal jam.
Finish with three wonderous Joker-inspired desserts such as chocolate and caramel torte, lychee and rose mousse and a vanilla and passionfruit parfait.
Toast your tea with a glass of chilled Laurent Perrier or have your cocktail poured from a painting, all set within the art-deco Grade-II listed surrounds of the Rogues Gallery.
In the most generous spirit of one Mr Wayne, Park Row guests can expect unlimited refills of sandwiches, scones and sweets along with top-ups of tea available upon request.
And for those DC fans looking to bring out their inner detective, there’s a codebreaking mission to embark on – the lucky few who solve it are entered into a chance to win a meal for two at Park Row.
This is a tea for super special occasions or simply a decadent afternoon spent immersed in one of the most stunning restaurants in London.
