Celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show with Afternoon Tea, complemented by a complimentary Chelsea Viola Bloom cocktail - a light, floral gin creation inspired by the season, available only on 22nd and 23rd May.

Celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show at Kona, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites & Residences with our enchanting Midsummer Night’s Dream Afternoon Tea, inspired by Shakespearean romance and the beauty of the season. Delicate pastries, refined savouries, and floral notes come together in an elegant setting, complemented by a complimentary Chelsea Viola Bloom - a light, floral gin cocktail.

Step into the enchanted realm of Shakespeare’s beloved woodland tale, brought deliciously to life at Kona, the award-winning dining destination at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences. This extraordinary, themed experience transforms the classic afternoon tea into a five-act sensory performance inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Amid fairy décor and bespoke crockery, each course evokes the magic and emotion of the play: from Thyme Roasted Chicken with Apricot Mayo to a Dark Chocolate Heart that captures love’s bittersweet twists. Taste the unexpected with Puck’s Mischief, a playful mocktail, and sip on the Elixir of Enchantment, a bespoke tea blend infused with green tea, mulberry, cranberry and lingonberry.

Outside, the hotel’s historic courtyard — home to the world’s longest Shakespearean frieze — sets the stage for your own midsummer dream.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare enthusiast, a lover of the whimsical, or simply seeking one of London’s most unique afternoon teas, this is your invitation to be spellbound.
