Nancy's Beauty and the Beast Afternoon Tea - Tonbridge

I wrote about this beautiful tearoom last year (yes, last year, and I only posted it this month… don’t ask) and if you read that post, you may remember me mentioning their upcoming Beauty and the Beast Afternoon Tea (and being really excited about it!) Months later I finally decided to check it out and I took along a fellow Disney lover and we had a great time!

As I mentioned in my original post about Nancy’s, this tearoom is exactly what I imagine mine would look like if I had a tearoom of my own and this themed afternoon tea makes it even more perfect, (bringing to mind ideas of loads of Disney themed afternoon teas and how I would do them!) It’s so lovely here that walking back into this space is like coming home. The big difference this time is that a table has been laid out in preparation for our afternoon tea, complete with decoration; a red rose – the enchanted rose – in a glass dome surrounded by red, heart-shaped lights (a little valentines-esque for me but beautiful all the same.)

The first things to be brought to our table are two Mrs Potts teapots full of gorgeous breakfast tea, which we chose at the counter on the way in. I’m loving this already! Unfortunately the spouts of these are more true to character (not a bad thing!) than good for pouring and I ended up spilling a fair bit of mine on the table! (Sorry!) Next to arrive are tiered stands of small sandwiches which we chose at the counter on our way in, along with the tea. There are also some extra fillings to add to the sandwiches, should we choose. These were lovely, fresh and delicious. We moved onto scones next, one huge scone each, covered in ‘magic’ (edible glitter) they were so lovely and warm but very filling and came  accompanied by two Chip mugs, one full of jam and one full of cream. By the time we ordered another pot of tea each and moved on to the last course, a very large slice of cake of our choice and some small cakes, we were full and had to order most of it to go. (Unfortunately, I left the box full of cake out on the kitchen counter at home and the cat got to it… no cake for me…)

Altogether this was a really lovely experience for me and really made my day. As a tea lover and huge Disney fan, I enjoyed the details, such as the ‘enchanted’ rose and the appearance of Mrs Potts and Chip and despite his mild embarrassment, I think my friend really enjoyed it too! Perfect for kids and big kids, I recommend this gorgeous afternoon tea for everyone, now I’m off to watch the film again!

On my way out I was told that the next special afternoon tea they are doing is ‘unicorn’ themed, so watch this space!
