At the heart of the magical space is a giant enchanted rose in a dome sitting on top of books that are just as impressively supersized.

You'll be able to spot more references to the film like teacups, a grand golden pendulum clock that looks just like Cogsworth, and candelabras that'll remind you of Lumière.

There are two new Beauty and the Beast-themed menu items which will only be available during the installation's run.

First is Belle of the Ball, a stunning cake inspired by Belle's dress and the enchanted rose. It is a coconut sponge mini cake layered with passion fruit curd, pineapple and mango compote, then covered in vanilla buttercream.
