The New Asian-Inspired Afternoon Tea We’re Booking This Month
Afternoon tea in London is a tradition as old as time, and with good reason – there’s nothing better than whiling away an afternoon over tea, treats and champagne. But at The Handbook, we’re always on the lookout for the next wow-worthy twist on the classic… Mini pork bao and House of Suntory cocktails anyone?
In partnership with
1950s Hong Kong-inspired cocktail bar, Lucy Wong, is launching a decadent new afternoon tea experience, bringing Asian flair to a much-loved British tea time tradition. Unlike other Asian afternoon teas, this offering is completely immersive, with delicate Dim Sum served in a Chinese-inspired bar between 3-5pm, every Saturday from the 30th of September.
