Matthew Williamson Afternoon Tea at Balthazar
How’s this for a fashionable afternoon tea? Balthazar celebrates its second anniversary this February 2015. In its 2 years in Covent Garden, Balthazar has established its reputation as a firm favourite amongst London’s fashion fraternity and tastemakers. In celebration of this anniversary, Balthazar has collaborated with renowned British fashion designer Matthew Williamson to create an afternoon tea. Working with the Balthazar pastry chefs, Williamson has created an offering inspired by his latest Spring/Summer 2015 collection.
Matthew Williamson’s collection references the relaxed glamour, reminiscent of David Bailey’s shots of Marie Helvin in his book, Chasing Rainbows and has inspired the selection of pastries, and exclusive cocktail designed by Matthew Williamson.
Available from 3pm to 5pm every day (including weekends), the afternoon tea at Balthazar is a feast of perennial favourites like cucumber, smoked salmon and egg mayonnaise sandwiches, hand-crafted cakes, freshly-baked Irish buttermilk scones, Postcard teas and herbal infusions (a fully gluten-free version of this tea is also available). The Matthew Williamson Afternoon Tea at Balthazar will be available from Friday, 6 February to coincide with London Fashion Week until Friday, 1 May 2015.
