tea party

If you are struggling for hen-do ideas and shiver at the thought of 'L' plates and strippers (good I'm glad I'm not alone), then for style AND substance it may be worth dropping a hint to your bridesmaids about Tea at the Berkeley Hotel. Based in Knightsbridge in their Caramel Room (that name alone makes you want to go there!) they host the now infamous, afternoon tea Prêt-à-Portea from £35 per person. Delectable little biscuits and cakes all shaped and themed for fashonistas such as the 'Valentino signature red chocolate coat biscuit accessorized with gold buttons' accompanied by tea and of course Champagne if you choose. And if a chic and civilised afternoon in luxurious surroundings with biscuits shaped like Jimmy Choos isn't enough, if you can't eat it all, then you get an adorable pastel pink and pistachio takeaway box in the shape of a handbag for you to savour the goodies later. Seriously, what more could a girl ask for? Oh perhaps just a cocktail or two next door in the Blue Bar....
