PRÊT-À-PORTEA – THE ROYAL COLLECTION
In honour of the Queen’s 60th year on the throne, The Berkeley hotel in London are overhauling their classic Pret-a-Portea afternoon tea menu...
‘Pret-a-Portea – The Royal Collection’ launches on 29 May in honour of the anniversary of the Queen’s 60th year on the throne, and will feature (in the long-running Berkeley tradition) afternoon tea staples created to look like a selection of fashion items. Dishes directly inspired by some of the Queen’s finest sartorial moments range from a Victoria sponge cake with peach-coloured icing in the shape of a Launer London handbag to a pink lady apple fruit cake baked to look like a hat she wore on a royal visit to Canada (one of more than 5,000 that she’s believed to have worn since 1952), while other royal-inspired titbits include a praline-filled profiterole – a hat-tip, so to speak, to Princess Beatrice’s controversial Philip Treacy Royal Wedding fascinator.
‘Prêt-à-Portea – The Royal Collection’ will be served in The Caramel Room at The Berkeley from 1-6pm from 29th May to 9th June 2012,
£39 per person.(£49 including a glass of Laurent Perrier champagne, or alternatively for the fashion conscious, £55 per person including a glass of couture champagne).
