Shangri-La launches Wonka high tea

A place where fantasy meets reality, this high tea serves up sweet treats inspired by the film.

Timothée Chalamet’s new film, Wonka, hits the big screens from 14 December, and Shangri-La Sydney is celebrating the release in style by launching the Wonka High Tea Buffet. This whimsical event invites guests to enjoy the tastes and flavours found in the world of Willy Wonka in the Grand Ballroom of Shangri-La Sydney from 9 December to 17 December 2023.

Wonka High Tea Buffet at Shangri-La Sydney

Inspired by the mouth-watering desserts of Willy Wonka, bless your tastebuds with the sweetness of Bubbly Brownie Surprises (double chocolate brownies with champagne truffle and candied cherries) or opt for the Nutty Bliss Delights (layered chocolate mousse cake). Whether you’re a lover of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory books, the film adaptions or just a sweet-tooth eager to satisfy your sugar cravings, the Wonka High Tea Buffet is an unmissable event.

For those who want to experience the magic of this extravaganza, but prefer to skip the sugar high, a range of savoury delicacies are available for your indulgence as well. These include beef Wellington pockets filled with mushroom duxelles, roast beef and horseradish sandwiches, and classic rendered bacon butty and egg sandwiches with British brown sauce mayonnaise.
