A top chef who has served the Queen afternoon tea laced chocolate puddings with Ecstasy before they were served to two toddlers for Sunday lunch, a court heard.

Neil Iron, 32, allegedly spiked the desserts with drugs to 'liven up' a birthday party at the Red Lion pub in Hoxton Square, north London.

Two toddlers, taken to lunch with their parents the next day, shared some chocolate mousse and were hospitalised, and one of them suffered a severe reaction, jurors heard.
