You know you are winning when mid week you get to spend fancy afternoon tea at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie with fellow like minded people. It’s the perfect antidote to beat the January blues.

In the lead up to Valentine’s Day, The Ivy Kensington Brasserie has partnered with prominent champagne house Perrier-Jouët to create “Butterfly Kisses” – the ultimate romantic Champagne Afternoon Tea.

There is an amazing installation of over 700 hand-made origami green, white and golden butterflies suspended from the restaurant’s ceiling, creating a stunning canopy where the afternoon tea takes place.

Be prepared to be spoilt for choice as the afternoon tea consists of an array of tantalising sweet and savoury favourites like truffled chicken gougères, which by the way were my absolute favourite! Not to mention yummy marinated cucumber and dill sandwiches, smoked salmon blinis with cream cheese and chives, and of course the irresistible warm fruit scones with Cornish clotted cream & strawberry jam. Guests will also receive a glass of perfectly chilled Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut.

So why not treat yourself with friends, family and make it into a fun afternoon. Hurry though as it ends 15th February!

*The Perrier-Jouët “Butterfly Kisses” Afternoon Tea will be available from Thursday, 7 January to Monday, 15 February 2016 from 3-5pm and will be priced at £27.50 per person, including a glass of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut.

**All guests ordering the Perrier-Jouët “Butterfly Kisses” Afternoon Tea will receive their own origami butterfly at the end of their meal, which will unfold to reveal a secret Valentine’s message, and for 140 lucky people, a bespoke Valentine’s Day prize.
