Guests will then receive their second cocktail, plus bottomless Mexican empanadas both meat non-meat recipes. The household staff will be ensuring this is a party not to forget, as they'll share sippers of Patron with the guests, helping them toast their beloved overseas and adventurous employer.

Mr Fogg's Tea-Quila Party launches on 25th May and will run every other Saturday from 1pm. Priced at £43.20 per person (25th May only) and £54 per person (29th June and 27th July) including two Patrón Tequila cocktails and sippers, entertainment, DJ and bottomless empanadas.
