  1. Checkin at Sanderson London
    1. Edit

      We treated ourselves to the Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson London this afternoon.

    2. Edit

      The hotel was lovely and the afternoon tea was held in their courtyard, with cozy blankets and heaters to keep us warm.

      The table setting was so pretty with quirky plates, menus in books and sugar cubes in a musical jewellery box with spinning ballerina.

      Once we were seated, we were brought cocktails and a tray of teas to select from.

    7. Edit

      With so many tasty flavours to choose from, picking our tea wasn't easy, but there were tasting note cards as well as scent bottles to help us.

      We chose the Cheshire Cat with orange and chocolate flavours and the Queen Of Hearts with red rose and vanilla.

    10. Edit

      Our tea came served in King & Queen teapots with party hats, which we couldn't resist wearing for ourselves.

    11. Edit

      And then, our food arrived on a cake stand decorated with carousel horses and a plant on top.

    12. Edit

      First we tackled the White Rabbit finger sandwiches with cucumber and cream cheese on pesto bread, and the King Of Hearts parmesan croque-monsieur.

      There were also some super fancy snacks including smoked salmon Scotch quail eggs topped with caviar and crab rolls with a creme fraiche and avocado sauce.

    15. Edit

      We then topped our scones with clotted cream and jam while they were still warm.

    16. Edit

      Just before we moved onto the sweets, we were surprised with little plant pots filled with ice cream and topped with chocolate soil and flowers.

    17. Edit

      It was then time to get stuck into dessert with Queen Of Hearts rose & strawberry jammy dodgers, Tweedle Dee lemon curd financiers, mocha chessboard gateau.

      My favourite dessert was the, Mad March hare vanilla pocket macarons that looked like little watches.

    20. Edit

      We then sipped on adorable little pots of Alice's cinnamon, apple & peach 'drink me' potion.

      There were sweets hidden in the plant on top of our cake stand including chocolate & pistachio blue caterpillars, wonderland marshmallow magic mushrooms and the Mad Hatters lost carrot & fennel meringues.

      I never wanted our afternoon tea to end but we returned home with a box of leftovers and my crown which I had saved for Bobbin.
