René Redzepi, owner and head chef of legendary Copenhagen restaurant Noma, will come to London to create a one-off afternoon tea at Claridge’s next month – and it will cost guests just £5.

Redzepi will team up with Claridge’s executive chef Martyn Nail and Richard Hart, founder of fellow Copenhagen hotspot Hart Bageri, to produce the meal on March 25. The event, which is to raise funds for Rare Charity, will be hosted by comedian and Pointless host Alexander Armstrong.

There will be 50 tickets available to the afternoon tea, with guests able to get a chance of securing one by entering a “golden ticket” prize draw. To enter, keen participants must make a £5 donation, or a £10 donation to secure tickets for two.

Details of the menu have not yet been revealed, but Redzepi and Hart are expected to put their own unique twist on the classic Claridge’s afternoon tea. Tea cocktails will be provided courtesy of Henrietta Lovell of the Rare Tea Company, with a drink pairing available for each plate.

Between 2010 and 2014, Noma claimed the top spot at the World’s 50 Best Restaurant awards.

All donations will go towards Rare Charity which offers education to young people in tea-producing communities.

An Exceptionally Rare Afternoon Tea will be held at Claridge's on March 25. To apply for tickets, visit rarecharity.com
