The Twits Afternoon Tea
Opening from 1st August 2024

Muggle-Wump brownies, Jam Roly-Poly sponge and our Trick or Twit scones – indulge your inner child and enter into the story of The Twits with our deliciously themed Afternoon Tea inspired by Roald Dahl’s iconic book.
Items include a rather wonderful new take on Wormy Spaghetti (‘Hampshire’ Cucumber Worms, Cream Cheese, Wholemeal Bread), Mrs Twit’s Bird Pie (Chicken, Leek & Ham) and a culinary exploration of Mr Twit’s beard across three separate savories. Sweets are inspired by much loved characters, the Muggle-Wumps and the Roly-Poly Bird and of course no afternoon tea would be complete without scones though, there’s a twist! Guests will have the chance to choose from buttermilk or marmite scones - you’ll never know which one is which!

The Twits Afternoon Tea at London Marriott County Hall will be served daily between 12PM– 5PM from 1st August 2024 and will be priced at £65 per adult and £45 per c

The service was a bit lacking and we were left to our own devices.We were told we had to share a cake which was not good..No top of tea - not good value for money The first dish was missing the birds legs and no alternative provided

I was quite disappointed by the experience. I was told that our kids weren’t allowed to get the kids menu - as I should’ve informed that I wanted to request this in advance. However, it doesn’t state on their website or on the booking system that this is required. The food was good, but wouldn’t say it was best value for the price.

Sorry to leave a somewhat negative review but for the price of this tea, it wasn’t special enough. The ambience and food taste was disappointing as lovers of the book. Staff were polite but I expected more for that price. The ambience, decor, free things given, food taste could’ve been better.

We booked the last sitting at 4.30 wouldn’t recommend as it closes at 5.00 although you aren’t rushed to leave staff weren’t around and if they were they were clearing away. Unlike in other afternoon teas we were not offered more savoury or sweet treats only one plate of each also only one pot of tea each. Not value for money paid but the Twits theme was carried out well.
