Enjoy an interactive pastry experience and Royal Afternoon Tea curated by Chef Sarah Houghting at The Rubens.

Embark on a voyage of discovery and hands-on education with Sarah preparing a selection of The Rubens signature items ranging from choux pastry, macarons, Mrs. Tollman’s cape seed loaf, truffles, and tempering chocolate.

Having changed into Chef white’s uniform, this session will be an interactive experience where you learn how to create a few of these pastries, cooking alongside Chef directly. Pick up professional tips, tricks, and secrets on mastering baking with skills that can be taken away and used at home to surprise and delight.

Arrive for 10am to enjoy coffee and pastries before embarking on your pastry experience which runs through to early afternoon.

Guests then move through to the Palace Lounge with a view of Buckingham Palace’s Royal Mews to enjoy the Afternoon Tea experience including The Art of Sabrage Experience. Sabrage is the technique of opening a bottle with a Sabre - a method which became popular in France when the armies of Napoleon celebrated their victories. Guests pay witness to this theatrical experience and enjoy a bottle of Champagne with the Afternoon Tea.
