Few things are more quintessentially British than afternoon tea, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a standardised experience. Afternoon tea at Strand Palace is more than your classic affair, it's a full-blown Mamma Mia themed celebration, served with an ABBA-inspired twist.
Right in the beating heart of the West End, The Palace Tea Parlour is situated just a three-minute walk from the Novello Theatre, home to the iconic smash hit Mamma Mia. What better way to get warmed up for the performance than with a pre-theatre themed afternoon tea? Served daily across two seatings (12:30pm and 3pm), the afternoon tea slots in nicely before matinee and evening shows alike.
The MAMMA MIA! afternoon tea at Strand Palace is a special festive edition to bring a pinch of extra fun to the Christmas season. The menu is served all week and there’s a kids menu too, so you can bring the whole family along if you like. Adults pay £50 during the week and £60 on the weekend, while children can dine for less.
The afternoon tea offering includes both savoury and sweet treats, inspired by ABBA hits. For example, there’s the Rosie’s Take a Chance on Brie tartlet, as well as the Knowing Mousse, Knowing You white chocolate mousse. Traditionalists will appreciate The Winner Takes the Scone, served with clotted cream and raspberry jam. Vegans can get in on the action too - there’s plant-based I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do Dolmades and vegan-friendly Honey Honey loaf.
Of course, no festive afternoon tea would be quite right without a glass of fizz, and Strand Palace offers Champagne and Prosecco, as well as cocktails and mocktails.
Whether you’re after a bite to eat before the theatre, or a fun afternoon in London’s West End, Afternoon Tea at Strand Palace promises plenty of ABBA sparkle.
