Imagine arriving at a London hotel, being greeted by a woman in carnival feathers and treated to a (nice and strong) complimentary rum (or fruit) punch, as the sweet sound of live steel pan music playing calypso classics caresses your ear buds. Then your reverie continues as you sit with your guests in the spacious surrounds and help yourself (as many times as you wish) to an extensive Caribbean buffet with all your meat, fish and vegetarian favourites.
Fortunately, thanks to the ‘Caribbean Experience’, your dream can now be your reality. With a solid history that dates back 20 years to the Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, this latest version of the experience has been running since October 2022 at Holiday Inn London, Kensington High Street. With the evening starting at 7.30pm and running until 1am, you even have the opportunity to indulge in a limbo challenge and dance the night away as the DJ entertains you with your favourite songs.
Sharon from Edmonton told Soca News, “It was perfect for the 40th birthday celebration I organised, as once I’d booked our group, everything was ready for us on the night. No waiting around for food to be served, and the fact that you can try anything on the menu, and drinks could be pre-ordered, made the £47 feel like a bargain for a hassle free night of food, drink, friends and party!”
Upcoming ‘Caribbean Experience’ dates are 19 August, 9 and 30 September and 21 October. To book, call 07977 007 696 or 020 7368 4443, or email [email protected]; be sure to quote SOCA10 to get your 10% discount. For further information, visit hilondonkensington.com.
