Volupte Lounge Afternoon Tease

 

Burlesque club offering afternoon tea with a cabaret-style twist.

Spice up your afternoon tea with a naughty but nice trip to this intimate early 20th century style salon, cabaret and vaudeville club. Appropriately entitled “Afternoon Tease” visitors’ fancies will be tickled with a range of burlesque entertainments, while sipping delicately on the finest tea infusions and champagnes cocktails. Tea-leaf reading, gateaux vivants, cabaret singers and more than the odd (in the true sense of the word), unexpected form of distraction are on the menu alongside the traditional afternoon tea fare. Served up by the titillating Teasemaids, heaving platters filled with sticky buns, cream-filled cakes and dollops of jams provide suitably indulgent refreshment. Not for the afternoon tea traditionalist (the burlesque tradition of lampooning the rituals and rites of the upper classes is only too evident here), this is a truly fun and fabulous alternative to this potentially stuffy, age-old ceremony. There’s no dress code but this is a tea best enjoyed as glammed up and gorgeous as possible. Pre-booking essential.

Best for:
Cabaret singers, tea leaf reading, 20th century glamour, gorgeous girls and glamorous boys, sticky buns and striptease.
