Event Details

Forget strawberries and champagne, Valentine's Day 2017 involves a far more titillating taste of history. Inspired by themes of love and romance, The Queen of Hoxton Rooftop will play host to a seductive still life, where everything on the table was at one point or another considered an aphrodisiac.

Presented by food historian Tasha Marks, you’ll sip, sniff and taste your way through 2000 years of frisky foodstuffs, including an Anglo-Saxon aphrodisiac, which was traditionally presented to the bride on her wedding night.

From the innocent Apple, reminiscent of Adam and Eve, to Vanilla with its evocative sheath, the range of historical bounty will be plentiful - after all, the very act of eating is in itself a sensual act. Alongside a plethora of historically credited aphrodisiacs, there will be two limited edition nibbles reproduced from ancient sources, including the Kama Sutra's Sweet Potato Biscuits with Velvet Bean, which have proved interesting...

Find the full tasting menu here.

Time: 6pm - 7pm

Price: £20

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Queen of Hoxton generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Queen of Hoxton, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
