The BEANO Afternoon Tea Bus Tour is available Wednesdays to Sundays between 10 June – 10 September 2023 to celebrate BEANO’s 85th birthday! Our chefs have created a blamtastic BEANO-inspired menu featuring the Bangers & Mash-up Chocolate Cupcake, the Cheesy Coal as a Cucumber & Cream Cheese Finger on Charcoal Bread and many more sweet and savoury delights! See below for more details.
Our Beano Entertainer will provide you with unknown facts about Beano and the London landmarks you’ll see during the tour. Plus, they’ll amuse you with kaboom Beano jokes and trick questions like… Would you rather eat Olive’s mystery stew with a plate of chips, or a burger with a side of Gnasher’s food?
Be prepared to be pranked… watch out for the chattering teeth and whoopee cushions that might be hidden on the bus. Learn how to draw Dennis, Gnasher & Minnie like a pro, and take home a Beano Comic, plus your very own Beano reusable cup.
Taking in the best views of Central London, our iconic double-decker Routemaster bus will take you past some of London’s greatest landmarks including Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St James’s Park, Hyde Park, The Royal Albert Hall, Marble Arch, Nelson’s Column, Downing Street. The BEANO Bus Tour lasts approximately 90 minutes (depending on traffic).
We have a range of menus to cater for all requirements and preferences and offer Traditional, Vegan, Vegetarian, Halal, and Gluten-free.
