It will include performative and sense-heightening experiences, including an Afternoon Tea and a delectable cocktail menu. The restaurant will include an indoor terrace and Private Dining Room options.
On the menu, Executive Chef Ayliffe said “Having worked at some of London’s best restaurants, I wanted my next adventure to capture some of the fun, skill and playfulness of all that London has to offer, taking from its past as well as its fiction, for something truly magical.”
The interior design of the restaurant by Faber will follow suit by taking inspiration from the architecture of the quintessential English gardens of Lewis Carroll’s era, where opulence with a touch of the surreal blends to magical effect.
UNDERLAND bar will open in November 2022, and will serve bespoke ‘Alice’s Adventures Underground’ cocktails alongside classic wines, cocktails and beers. UNDERLAND will serve as both a pre-show bar for guests enjoying the Theatre experience or walk ins and bookings for experience hungry attendees.
