Chai, Charlie and Prosecco with the Colonel

Colonel Saab’s afternoon tea isn’t your average cucumber sandwiches and cuppa. This Covent Garden treasure, housed in the historic Grade II-listed Holborn Old Town Hall, adds an indulgent Indian twist to the tradition.

The tiered ‘charlie’ is an edible adventure, balancing Indian favourites like crispy samosas and dhokla sandwiches with classic treats like scones, carrot cake, and chocolate silk cake. The unique mix of coriander mayonnaise cucumber sandwiches and tamarind chutney dhokla will leave your taste buds singing.T

op it all off with your choice from 12 teas, or better yet, a glass of Prosecco to celebrate the moment. The venue’s dazzling chandeliers, eclectic Indian art, and soothing jazz music create the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed afternoon escape.

Perfect for two, this is a gift that sparkles as much as the chandeliers. Whether you’re treating yourself or someone special, it’s a sip of luxury in London’s heart.

  Great idea for a friend’s birthday gift. Quick response when I had accidentally chosen the wrong delivery option. All got sorted without problems. Really happy with the concept and the types of experiences provided on the site. Will definitely check back to see when new ones are added!
