Art Afternoon Tea – Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea 2018

Voted as the Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea in the UK for the second year running, Executive Pastry Chef, Mark Perkins, has created a new colourful collection of pastries, inspired by the artistic movements of Cubism and Pop Art.

Cubism is an abstract artistic style pioneered by Pablo Picasso in the early 1900s. It is one of the aesthetics that later inspired iconic artists such as Andy Warhol in the 1950s, who initiated the hugely popular Pop Art movement. Experience a culinary journey through these renowned styles, sampling a selection of six expertly made pastries inspired by the artists that popularised them.

Served in the elegant Mirror Room, our pop art-inspired afternoon tea includes a selection of mouth-watering finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and loose leaf teas accompanied by the creative pastries. Prepare to discover the likes of Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and Roy Lichtenstein, with an optional Dom Pérignon twist.

Executive Pastry Chef

Mark Perkins

At Rosewood London, Mark is responsible for producing delicacies for the hotel’s In-room dining service and Mirror Room’s afternoon tea, as well as creating personalised welcome amenities for guests. Since joining Rosewood London, Mark has incorporated his artistic talents into the tradition of afternoon tea, and is constantly pushing creative boundaries to ensure Mirror Room’s offering is one to remember. In 2017, Mark launched a unique art-inspired afternoon tea, creating colourful desserts celebrating legendary artists such as Banksy, Damien Hirst and Mark Rothko. Following its success, he revisited the concept in 2018, creating a selection of pastries inspired by Rodin, in partnership with the British Museum.

“For this afternoon tea, I did a lot of research around the Cubist and Pop Art movements, in order to encapsulate them in the most interesting way possible. Creating edible versions of the abstract forms of Cubism, and disguising cakes as Warhol’s soup cans, was both challenging and fun, allowing me to experiment with various shapes and colours. We look forward to serving our guests something they may have never seen before and will hopefully enjoy eating!”
