This 'Beauty and the Beast' themed afternoon tea offers an enchanting escape into the world of fairy tales, set in a venue adorned with elegant touches like the rose-shaped serviettes and delicate teapots evoking a subtle nod to the classic tale. Despite its themed charm, the culinary offerings oscillate between whimsical and understated, with choices ranging from finger sandwiches to more adventurous plates like mushroom quiche and a red pepper soup that's presented with artistic flair. The dessert selection provides a fitting sweet conclusion, with cakes that are as delightful to behold as they are to eat. The tea service complements the experience, offering a variety of options including lavender and lychee infusions that add a touch of sophistication to the traditional English treat. The atmosphere is enlivened by the gentle strains of a live harpist serenading guests with timeless Disney tunes. While some have extolled the attentive service and intricate theme, others have remarked on logistical oversight, casting a shadow over what is, at its heart, a promising concept fraught with inconsistencies.
