How to guide to London Film Festival
Everything you need to know about making the most of the UK's biggest film festival!
The Marriott County Hall Hotel has launched a fun new afternoon tea experience in collaboration with Roald Dahl’s The Twits.
Muggle-Wump brownies, Jam Roly-Poly sponge and Trick or Twit scones - indulge your inner child and enter into the story of The Twits with this brand-new themed Afternoon Tea inspired by the iconic book.
The interior of the tea room is a celebration of The Twits story and characters, with nods to their eccentric and tricksy ways decorating the surroundings. Look out for Wormy Spaghetti, Hug-Tight Glue, the Big Dead Tree, and a collection of horrible twit-ish books.
Children also receive an activity booklet with colouring pencils to keep them entertained while waiting for their tea, with puzzles inspired by Mr Twit's beard and Mrs Twit's many balloons.
What’s on the menu?
With a menu for both adults and children, guests can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea filled with tasty twists and tricks, inspired by some of Mr and Mrs Twit’s most memorable moments.
Items include a deliciously revolting new take on Wormy Spaghetti (‘Hampshire’ cucumber worms, cream cheese, wholemeal bread), Mrs Twit’s Bird Pie (chicken, leek and ham) and a culinary exploration of Mr Twit’s beard across three separate savouries.
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 in true Twits-style there’s a twist - guests receive buttermilk or marmite scones, but they won’t know which one is which until they try them!
To drink, adults can enjoy a selection of teas or add a glass of champagne and for children there’s Skillywiggler Lemonade with Frogspawn (lemonade with apple pearls) or Roly-Poly Berry Juice (berry milkshake with white chocolate feather).
