Harrods pops its cork with new Moët & Chandon Champagne Bar

The weather here in London has changed drastically within the space of 48 hours. A matter of days ago you would’ve been able to leave the house in a t-shirt, whilst today we clamber onto the tube in winter coats.

Such dramatic changing of the seasons has us planning our diaries for the coming months; as winter sets in, so does the twinkle of excitement that the festivities bring. Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas are times to spend with family and friends, but also… a perfect excuse to indulge ourselves in great telly, comfort food, and slightly too much booze.

Harrods, London’s most iconic department store, is synonymous with festivity - and this year the celebrations get even more sparkly. Today marks the official opening of the luxury store’s Moët & Chandon Champagne Bar, a new bookable experience for groups featuring a magnum of Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial that is poured over a mini tower of 4-6 glasses.

As well as the finest fizz, guests will also enjoy the delicate food pairings created by Harrods’ Chefs, plus something to satisfy the sweet tooth - dessert by Choux Love of four choux pastry buns.

Open from midday until 9pm (6pm on Sundays), the bar is an opulent option for after-work drinks or even lavish lunch, pre-perusing the shop floors. Pictured below, friends of the house Gemma Chan, Douglas Booth, Laura Carmichael, Jourdan Dunn and Raven Smith are photographed celebrating the long awaited opening.

Available to book from today here.
