Harrods is opening a champagne bar at its H beauty store in Chester this week.

Officially opening on Friday 13 November, the new champagne bar and café will serve champagne by the glass and bottle, alongside cocktails, tea, coffee and patisserie prepared by Harrods chefs.

The first 50 customers through the doors on opening day will receive an H beauty goody bag.

Plans to convert H Beauty's EL&N Café into a champagne bar were revealed in October, when a licensing application was submitted to Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Similar champagne bars already operate at other H beauty stores, including Edinburgh, Milton Keynes and Bristol.

The new champagne bar will also serve an all-day food menu, featuring breakfast, brunch, small plates and afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea will include finger sandwiches, smoked salmon cones and a mushroom and spinach sausage roll, followed by scones with clotted cream and strawberry Champagne jam, doughnut délice, a rhubarb and white chocolate fondant and red velvet cake.

The drinks menu includes The Cheshire Bramble, a cocktail made with Cheshire Wild Berry Gin, honey, lemon and blackberry liqueur.
