Fashion Becomes Tea
We're delighted to unveil Fashion Becomes Tea - an avant-garde afternoon tea inspired by the radical imagination and surrealist elegance of The V&A South Kensington's highly anticipated exhibition, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art, just moments from the hotel.
Drawing from the exhibition’s bold visual language and boundary-breaking spirit, the experience transforms haute couture into a sensorial journey of flavour, texture and form. Sculptural pastries, expressive colour palettes and unexpected flavour pairings evoke the drama and artistry of the runway, reinterpreted through our refined culinary lens.
A celebration of surrealism and craftsmanship, each element of the afternoon tea is designed with the same meticulous attention to detail found in couture ateliers - dramatic silhouettes, playful trompe-l’œil techniques and striking compositions that delight both eye and palate.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free afternoon tea options are available on request with a minimum of 48 hours notice.
As our menu is priced per person, we are unable to provide a sharing experience. We strive to source all our fish and seafood from sustainable sources. We use free-range and Red Tractor-certified poultry from Norfolk and Suffolk, whilst our cheese is sourced from Paxton & Whitfield, based in Jermyn Street. Our trusted fruit and vegetable suppliers work closely with British producers and source all our seasonal produce, forming a ‘field to fork’ relationship. A discretionary service charge of 12.5% will be added to your bill.
