Confessions of a Chocoholic
Discover our chocolate afternoon tea, 'Confessions of a Chocoholic', that offers chocolate lovers a four-course feast of exquisite treats.
Starting with our freshly prepared open sandwiches, you are presented with a tiered stand offering freshly baked chocolate chip scones served with chocolate praline spread, chocolate cupcakes and miniature chocolate fancies displayed on an edible chocolate plate.
All delicacies are freshly made by our pastry chefs with the finest quality ingredients, including delicious Valrhona chocolate, 70% cocoa and edible gold leaf.
Teas from Harney & Sons have been specially blended for Hilton Hotels, from Earl Grey Tea infused with lavender and blue cornflowers to White Tea picked at dawn.
Podium is delighted to be a member of The Tea Guild. Founded in 1985, The Tea Guild recognises establishments that serve tea to a high standard.
