For a very decadent Christmas treat

Adored by celebs, party animals, socialites and the royal family, the infamously fabulous Annabel's has just launched a very festive members-only afternoon tea.

As part of their massive Christmas revamp (have you see the giant sparkly Christmas tree outside?), the lovely little Alice in Wonderland-esque soiree takes place in the very Instagrammable Rose Bar. If you've never been inside, think hand-painted gold and silver leaf trompe l’oeil, bespoke tulip and iris chandeliers and a pink onyx, back-lit bar Victoria Beckham has a soft spot for.

In a nutshell, it's where nature beckons and English eccentricity reigns supreme. All very Annabel's.

So what's on the Fin Fellowes-designed menu? Expect a selection of perfectly cut finger sandwiches ranging from smoked salmon and cream cheese with caviar, truffle and egg mayonnaise and a traditional coronation chicken number. Sweet wise, macarons, crispy chocolate and hazelnut choux, lemon tartlets and a chocolate and vanilla marble cake crown the very glam and bespoke Annabel's tea stand. And before you ask darling, yes it does indeed all come with a glass (or 10) of rose champagne.

Tea wise, Silverleaf Greens, Spring smoked oolongs, Darjeeling Grand Reserves and a wave of ginger, Canerino and fresh mint infusions will keep your palette looking (and feeling) fresh.

For those of you who can't finish it all, you'll get a very snazzy Annabel's green box to take home and put on the mantlepiece.

But best are the fab Christmas crackers, where you'll find gold hats, foil openers (for your wine of course) and an on the go whisky flask.

Now all you need to do is hand over your social media handles and beg for membership. Good luck.

The Annabel's festive afternoon tea launched this week at Annabel's, 46 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London W1J 5AT
