The Assembly House of Horrors IX Pink Halloween Afternoon Tea

The Assembly House of Horrors IX: Halloween Afternoon Tea 👻🎃

October 18 to 31

Something wickedly pink this way comes…

It’s back! For the ninth year running, our famous Halloween Afternoon Tea returns to put a little trick and a lot of treats into October.

After a super successful spring filled with pink pastels, we decided to give a rosy hue to Halloween with just enough magic to make things deliciously spooky.

Expect cupcakes topped with grinning chocolate skulls, ghostly pink velvet cake, cheeky little mummies, watchful eyes and even a white chocolate toad or two hopping onto your plate.

Perfect for grown-up ghouls and little monsters alike, it’s the sweetest way to celebrate the season.

Add a sinister sparkle to your tea with a glass of Flint Vineyard’s Charmat Rosé or Charmat White, our favourite fizz from Norfolk’s finest winemakers, for just £40 per adult for tea and bubbles.

This tea is available for the following diets – no allergens, intolerances or preferences (Classic), with 24-hours’ notice, vegetarian or dairy-free or vegan or gluten-free (menus below) and with 48 hours’ notice, vegetarian and gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy-free and dairy-free and gluten-free. For guests with multiple dietary requirements or who are nut-free, we now offer a non-themed allergen tea – please see here. Got a question about afternoon tea? It's probably answered here! All bookings are for one of our Georgian dining rooms, including the restaurant and Ivory Room. Please note: we no longer offer nut-free themed afternoon teas and cannot adapt teas to be nut-free.
