HIGH TIME FOR TEA

Last week, at Wellington on a Plate I was lucky enough to score a ticket to the High Tea at Hippopotamus restaurant in the Museum Hotel on a balmy Saturday afternoon.

All the smart set of Wellywood turned out to see the divine clothes by Alexandra Owen. Mark Hadlow, straight from the set of The Hobbit tried hard to steal the show in his fabulous suit, but nothing could beat a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne and the amazing food. (See pic above)

I think the Museum Hotel is one of the capital's best assets. A trip south is always the better for the indulgence of the food and wine at Hippopotamus. Vive Chef Laurent!
