After all, a good cup of tea usually fixes everything.
It might be cold, rainy and slightly grey in the capital at the moment but we’ve found something which is sure to inject a little bit of loveliness back into your life. Safely nestled in the greenery of Victoria Park is the People’s Park Tavern, and as of this Saturday, they’re serving up a woodland afternoon tea of your dreams.
Escape the icy breeze outdoors as you step into this leafy paradise and feel the warmth of a summer’s day embrace you. Adorned with low hanging wicker lights and magical trails of falling foliage, the greenhaus has been decked out beyond anything you could have imagined. Enjoy the gorgeous views of Victoria Park and settle down for a delightful Saturday away from the sport on the telly and the manic pace of the city.
Now, very few things are better than a good old-fashioned afternoon tea but, as it turns out, a good old-fashioned afternoon tea served in a gorgeous bird cage actually does top it. Let’s face it, it’s pretty lovely. Why every meal isn’t presented to me in this way I’m yet to discover…
Offering an array of delectable cakes, macarons, seriously good sarnies and, of course, perfectly baked scones packed full of clotted cream with generous spoonfuls of jam, this afternoon tea simply couldn’t get any better. Or could it…?
Since Dry January is over and February has felt a little bit miserable so far, why not perk things up with that all important pop of the Prosecco cork? With an entire bottle to share between two included, you can afford for the fizz to flow freely – and take it from us, you’re sure to feel a whole lot happier.
This Saturday forget the morning jog, cleaning out the kitchen cupboard or trying to sort out that dodgy doorknob in the bathroom. Instead, why not treat yourself and indulge in a quintessentially English pastime in the most magical of surroundings.
Sip a cup of tea from fine bone china, admire the rich interiors, listen to the birds singing in the park and finally feel as though you have managed to utterly escape reality, and all of this for just £30 for two people. Book your tickets here.
