Everything served during the Jurassic afternoon tea in this quaint London setting is visually appealing. From the tray of tea cakes to the savory appetizers and entrees, you will believe that you are eating in the Jurassic era.

After the tea cakes, you can order savory finger sandwiches. Each item is crafted with an eye to the Jurassic era. The visual effects begin with an eerie fog drifting from the tea tray. You’ll see dinosaur egg-shaped treats on trays resembling a natural Jurassic landscape setting. Everything takes influence from the prehistoric era.

At the end of your afternoon tea, you’ll have to dig for your dessert. Cookies are on the menu, but they arrive buried in a box of “dirt” with a brush. We’re almost certain the “dirt” is just chocolate cookie crumbs, but no one is saying that. The menu just states that everything is edible. You need to excavate the box carefully, brushing the “dirt” aside, to reveal your dinosaur-shaped cookies.

This London tea shoppe and their afternoon Jurassic tea service should have a place on everyone’s bucket list. After your adventure you can take home a dinosaur claw lollipop.
