One thing my daughter and I absolutely love is a really good themed afternoon tea! The Jurassic Afternoon Tea at Apero, Ampersand Hotel in South Kensington, was a roarsome experience! We expected nothing less, as we absolutely LOVED their science afternoon tea!
📍 2 Harrington Rd, South Kensington, London SW7 3ER
So much thought and detail went into making this a fantastic experience, from the tea stand to the menu cover!
My daughter was given a dinosaur-themed mug with hot milk, and she was able to make her own hot chocolate with a dinosaur-shaped chocolate stirrer. This was also accompanied by some chocolate sprinkles and marshmallows.
Not long after came the afternoon tea! The kids’ version comes on a bright green dinosaur tea stand! My daughter was immediately in awe and couldn’t wait to tuck in!
Due to nut allergies, our afternoon tea may have looked a little different to yours, but it was still fabulous. In case you were wondering, they also have vegetarian and gluten-free options.
My favourite part of my afternoon tea was the brioche with roast beef, watercress, and cornichons. It was so good that I had to get a refill! The scones were also great, especially with the delicious passionfruit curd!
My daughter’s afternoon tea came with a mini hot dog, a T-Rex foot cheese straw, and a dinosaur-shaped jam sandwich. She loved it all! The pastries were definitely her favourite part. The dark chocolate and caramel dinosaur egg nest was a huge hit! It looked amazing and tasted great!
The experience ended with my daughter becoming a real palaeontologist, dusting for chocolate fossils in “soil”. I thought it was a lovely way to end the day.
One of the great things about this afternoon tea is that you can combine it with a trip to the Natural History Museum, which is a very short walk away. It would be the perfect dinosaur day out!
Jurassic Afternoon Tea is Served Mon – Sun: 12noon – 5:30pmIt’s a great afternoon tea and one that dinosaur lovers big and small can enjoy!
